Science Learning Easier When Students Actively Recall Information
The study, “Retrieval Practice Produces More Learning Than Elaborative Studying With Concept Mapping, ” tested both learning strategies alongside each other. “In prior research, we established that practicing retrieval is a powerful way to improve learning, ” said Karpicke. “Here we put retrieval practice to the test by comparing its effectiveness to an elaborative study method, specifically elaborative studying by creating concept maps.” Concept mapping requires students to construct a diagram – typically using nodes or bubbles – that shows relationships among ideas, characteristics or materials. These concepts are then written down as a way of encoding them in a person's memory. In two studies, reported by Karpicke and his colleague, Purdue University psychology student Janell Blunt, a total of 200 students studied texts on topics from different science disciplines. One group engaged in elaborative study using concept maps while a second one practiced retrieval; they read the texts, then put them away and practiced freely recalling concepts from the text. After an initial study period, both groups recalled about the same amount of information. But when the students returned to the lab a week later to assess their long-term learning, the group that studied by practicing retrieval showed a 50 percent improvement in long-term retention above the group that studied by creating concept maps. This, despite the students own predictions about how much they would actually remember. Karpicke found that when students have the material right in front of them, they think they know it better than they actually do. “It may be surprising to realize that there is such a disconnect between what students think will afford good learning and what is actually best. We, as educators, need to keep this in mind as we create learning tools and evaluate educational practices, ” he said.

Категория страдательного залога свойственна и русскому, и английскому языку, однако ее употребление в английском языке гораздо шире, поэтому существует и больше способов ее передачи на русский язык. В ряде случаев перевод страдательного залога не вызывает особых трудностей и требует незначительных изменений английского предложения, например:
Таблица 6
Особую сложность при передаче на русский язык вызывают: непрямые страдательные конструкции (напр.: I am invited to all the parties); глаголы с послелогами (напр.: This article is often referred to ); английские глаголы, требующие после себя беспредложного дополнения, которые при переводе требуют предложного дополнения (напр.: He was attacked ); глаголы в страдательном залоге, за которыми следует два предлога подряд (напр.: These conditions will be objected to by other scientists).

Fast Facts on Pizza
In restaurants, pizza can be baked in an oven with stone bricks above the heat source, an electric deck oven, a conveyor belt oven or, in the case of more expensive restaurants, a wood- or coal-fired brick oven. On deck ovens, the pizza can be slid into the oven on a long paddle, called a peel, and baked directly on the hot bricks or baked on a screen (a round metal grate, typically aluminum). When made at home, it can be baked on a pizza stone in a regular oven to reproduce the effect of a brick oven. Another option is grilled pizza, in which the crust is baked directly on a barbecue grill. Greek pizza, like Chicago-style pizza, is baked in a pan rather than directly on the bricks of the pizza oven.

As you might imagine the number is rarely used except maybe in theoretical and computational calculations, however the big question is whether a number bigger than a Googol exists? Well funnily enough there is and it’s called a googolplex which would be a number 1 followed by, wait for it not one thousand zeros, not even one million zeros but a googol zeroes. Getting confused? Well you should be because this number is so large that it’s almost impossible to imagine and also impossible to write because doing so would require more space than the known universe provides. Absolutely mind boggling you may think! Lastly for those of you that are interested in where this term actually came from, well it was popularized in the 1940′ s by the American mathematician Edward Kasner who created it as a useful number when comparing unimaginably large numbers with infinity. Oh and the actual term “googol” was coined by his then 9 year old nephew Milton Sirotta, not bad for a 9 year old!

ТЕМА 8 ИНФИНИТИВ
Показателем инфинитива (неопределенной формы глагола) в английском языке является частица to. Инфинитив произошел от существительного с предлогом to, который показывает направление к чему-либо, отсюда и основное значение инфинитива (в простой форме) – он передает то, что еще будет или должно быть сделано: to write – писать, to go – идти и т.д. Характерной особенностью английского инфинитива, в сравнении с русским инфинитивом, является наличие сложных форм, как в действительном, так и в страдательной залоге (табл. 8). Таблица 8
Инфинитив может играть роль любого члена предложения: подлежащего, дополнения, определения, обстоятельства и вводного члена предложения. Особенности перевода на русский язык: 1. Простые формы инфинитива (Indefinite) чаще всего переводятся неопределенной формой глагола, существительным, реже причастием или глаголом в личной форме (табл.11). Популярное:

Put down those science text books and work at recalling information from memory. That's the message of new research from Purdue University that says practicing memory retrieval boosts science learning far better than elaborate study methods. Educators traditionally rely on learning activities that encourage elaborate study techniques focused on improving the encoding of information into memory. But, when students practice retrieval, they set aside the material they are trying to learn and instead practice calling it to mind.
The Ancient Greeks covered their bread with oils, herbs and cheese. In Byzantine Greek, the word was spelled π ί τ α or pita, meaning pie. The Romans developed placenta, a sheet of flour topped with cheese and honey and flavored with bay leaves. Modern pizza originated in Italy as the Neapolitan pie with tomato. In 1889, cheese was added.
Authentic Neapolitan pizzas are typically made with tomatoes and Mozzarella cheese. They can be made with ingredients like San Marzano tomatoes, which grow on the volcanic plains to the south of Mount Vesuvius, and mozzarella di bufala Campana, made with the milk from water buffalo raised in the marshlands of Campania and Lazio in a semi-wild state (this mozzarella is protected with its own European protected designation of origin). According to the rules the genuine Neapolitan pizza dough consists of wheat flour, natural Neapolitan yeast or brewer's yeast, salt and water. For proper results, strong flour with high protein content be used. The dough must be kneaded by hand or with a low-speed mixer. After the rising process, the dough must be formed by hand without the help of a rolling pin or other machine, and may be no more than 3 mm (⅛ in) thick. The pizza must be baked for 60 – 90 seconds in a 485 °C stone oven with an oak-wood fire. When cooked, it should be crispy, tender and fragrant.
When you hear the word Google the first image that comes to mind has to be the famous internet search engine but does the word actually mean anything? Well the answer is a firm yes because it comes from the term “Googol” which represents a number (written as a 1 followed by 100 zeros) so large that it’s actually larger than the total number of atoms in the known universe.
