Scientist, and doctors are working on a drug in progress, to stop chemotherapy nerve damage. They have figured out that chemotherapy can trigger stress alarms, in immune cells causing inflammation, and other side effects. Early blood test, are even starting to show, which certain people might have these symptoms, before it even occurs. This is a huge discovery for cancer, and chemo patients, during treatment, and the aftermath of the treatment.

One of the strangest mysteries about our Earth is the presence of two dense, giant blobs inexplicably clustered above the planet’s core. Now, new models might reveal where they have come from, and it’s neither of the expected origin stories. Rather, some material may have oozed from a leaking core when Earth was newly formed eons ago, and mixed with the mantle to create the so-called large low-shear-velocity provinces (LLSVPs) we see today.

Scientist have recently discovered that the amino acid arginine can help reduce/block alzheimers. While this will not get rid of the alzheimers fully, theres a chance to prevent them before getting diagnosed.

Scientists have found out that some amino acids can help diagnose Alzheimers. And that sometimes they can also help prevent it if diagnosed quickly enough. This will help with family’s who have been affected by the disease and may want to prevent it from others in the future.

Some okanagan engineers invented a new ventilation system. their test say that it could be better than any system that exists right now because it can detect germs. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/11/251121090726.htm
A breakthrough experiment in Germany brings a quantum internet a step closer, with physicists teleporting a quantum state between photons produced by separate light sources for the first time. The achievement allows engineers to bounce quantum information through repeating stations consisting of ‘quantum dots’ over long distances without loss or disruption.

R- This semester I rate myself a 3/5 stars, I stayed on top of most of my assignments but not all of them and I also did not study well to my full potential always. To fix this I will make sure to do all of my homework and study properly for my tests next semester.
This semester I rate myself a 4/5. I think I did well listening in class and being an active learner. I stayed on top of my assignments and studied well although I have volleyball. I will continue my habits and work hard for the upcoming exams.
This semester I rate myself a 3/5. I think I was good at interacting during lessons to learn better and applying my knowledge during homework assignments. I think I could have studied better and for longer amounts of time. Going forward, I am going to study more in advance and make sure I get multiple hours of studying in.
I rate myself a 4/5 for this semester. I did well with keeping up with my assignments and studying for tests and quizzes. I also read all directions carefully during labs and paid extra attention to the new instructions given. However, I could do better with interacting with lessons, and asking more questions about things I do not understand. I plan to ask interact more during class to learn and ask more questions if I am confused.
I rate myself a 4/5 on this semester of Chemistry. I did pretty well on doing my homework and studying as best as I could for tests. But, I think I could do better on really being prepared for tests and taking my time on tests and labs. I plan to slow down when answering questions and give myself ample time to know material for tests.
I rate myself 7/10 for this semester. Getting used to the website, and really stressful quizzes + tests was hard, but I feel like I’ve done reasonably well adjusting and I’ve learned a lot.
This semester i would rate myself 3.5 out of 5 stars. I would rate myself this because i do a good job of keeping up with all the homework, but I think there is improvement in my studying.
I would rate myself a 3/5 this semester. I did good keeping up with all my assignments; however, I need to focus on giving myself more time to study and know all the information for test and quizzes.
I would rate myself a 2/5 I need to study better information and more than a week out from the tests. I will fix this by re-watching Ms.Skinners lectures and applying things instead of just memorizing. I did feel like I did very well on the classwork assignments and Labs.
This semester I would rate myself a 2/5 stars. I had a rocky start and it remained like that for the entirety of the semester. To ensure this doesn’t happen again next semester, I will put in more effort outside of class and try my best to get better grades.
If i were to rate myself on this semester of Chemistry, I would rate it a 4/5. I feel like I definitely did well on assignments, labs, and tests and knowing when to study hard and get things done. I’ve learned from my mistakes and grown to love Chemistry. I still need improvement on test scores so to fix this, I will listen to Ms. Skinner lectures and study the book more.
I would rate this semester a 7/10. In the first nine weeks i definitely had some things that i needed to improve on but in the second nine weeks i feel like i definitely did.
I would rate this semester a 7/10. In the first nine weeks i definitely had some things that i needed to improve on but in the second nine weeks i feel like i definitely did that.
i would give myself a 3/5 stars throughout this semester. i think it has been a learning curve because i’ve been having to hold myself more accountable and be more independent on my homework, studying, and the labs. I am doing better with applying the stuff we learn, being independent, and doing the math that we have in chemistry.
4.5/5- I’ve done amazing this quarter and honestly the only weak point I’ve had in this class are the labs. I’ve begun learning how to effectively study and the results are very gratifying.
I would give myself a 2/5 stars throughout this semester. I think it has been a hard because I have been having to try hard in this class then any other class I have. I also, have to study harder in this class than any other. I am starting to do better with applying the stuff we learn and being independent with my work
I’d rate myself personally a 3 out of 5 for this semester overall. I remember times when I struggled due to not memorizing or just didn’t understand most of it. Since the beginning of the semester, I’ve noticed significant improvements for writing formulas, elements, etc., and I hope to continue on improving more next semester.
I rate myself a 3-5 for this semester because I feel like I did a god job on not procrastinating and got more comfortable participating in class which helped me learn better.
I would rate my semester a 3/5, I did well getting the chemical formulas, and learning the polyatomic ions. Also being more intuned to the lesson, trying to apply to classwork, or homework. Reflecting, I could have prepared better for application on the tests, and I expect to take action, to get on top of that semester.
I would rate my semester a 2/5, I need to take better notes next semester and study harder or in a different way. I did feel like a did a good job studying for the elements but I still needed to study more as I made some careless mistakes. And I feel like I need to do a better job participating in class.
I would rate my semester a 2/5 because I need to take better notes and change how I study to get better grades. I felt like I did a good job studying for the elements test but I need to get better at naming and being able to write formulas.
i will rate my semester a 3/5 because i need to memorize better and find better ways to study my formulas. I did good on most of my memorization but the common substances really messed with me.
I rate my semester a 3/5 because i need to memorize equation and little things better and do better when I’m trying to make time to study. I did good on daily work and remembering to do all the classwork and homework. I made good grades on the labs as-well. I need to work on the equation and remember more of the complex substances.
i rate this semester a 3/5 because i didn’t do very good on naming chemical formula or polyatomic ions but i did fairly well on everything else but i could also make sure i always do my homework.
I rate my semester a 3/5 because I didn’t study properly and did not stay on top of my homework. For next semester i’m going to stay on top of my studying and stay on top of my homework.
This semester I would rate myself a 6 out of 10. I did well getting good grades on homework and memorization quizzes but when it came to the application part I struggled a bit. Going forward I would study more days in advance and prepare and practice more.
I would rate my first semester a 3 out of 5. Because I ended up with a B but I think I could have done better studying.
This semester I would rate myself a 5.5/10. I did well on homework, quizzes, and learning in class, but I struggled on some labs and the tests. Going forward and into next semester I will start studying in advance and start applying what I learned in class to my study habits.
This semester i would give myself a 8 out of 10. I did really well in keeping up with assignments and finishing lab reports on time. Next semester I do need to work on not studying last minute for a test or quiz.
This semester I rate myself 3 stars, I struggled a lot and am still making up tests and quizzes from my surgery. Overall I managed to stay passing in every class, but my GPA definitely is no longer as good as it was.
