Reflection is a systematic reviewing process for all teachers which allows you to make links from one experience to the next, making sure your students make maximum progress. […]
What increases gene flow?
What increases gene flow? Migrants change the distribution of genetic diversity among populations, by modifying allele frequencies (the proportion of members carrying a particular variant of a gene). When gene flow is impeded, there can be an increase in inbreeding, measured by the inbreeding coefficient (F) within a population. How do mutations affect an organism? […]

What is SFX and VFX?
What is SFX and VFX? Special Effects (often abbreviated to SFX) refers to on-set visual effects techniques; you could also call them ‘practical effects’. VFX is an abbreviation of Video Effects. Video Effects enabled filmmakers to achieve the same effects as on-set SFX during post-production. What movie has the best special effects? Special effects in […]
Can scanning electron microscopes see DNA?
Can scanning electron microscopes see DNA? Now an electron microscope has captured the famous Watson-Crick double helix in all its glory, by imaging threads of DNA resting on a silicon bed of nails. The technique will let researchers see how proteins, RNA and other biomolecules interact with DNA. Can cilia be seen with a light […]

We don’t currently have recommendations for specific surge protectors, but you can find plenty of options for as little as $20 or less at Amazon. How long do surge protectors last? three to […]
Are action and reaction forces equal?
Are action and reaction forces equal? Formally stated, Newton’s third law is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the […]
