The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has decided that candidates in the 2014 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations, UTME, would compulsorily register only one university, one polytechnic, one college of education and one innovative enterprise institute. It is considered a solution to challenges with admissions to higher institutions. Candidates formerly had a second preferred institution. […]

(By Jennifer Carey) When adopting technology in the classroom, one of the key concerns for teachers and administrators is classroom management. I am often asked if there is a way to “lock down an iPad screen” or “ensure students cannot go to inappropriate websites” (e.g. Social Media). In other words, how do we keep students

  Topic: Position; Distance, Displacement, Speed, Velocity and Distance-Time graph The position of a point in space is determined by its distance and direction from other points. The statement of position is accomplished by means of a frame of reference or point of reference, which we shall call the origin. Distance is the movement coverage

  Topic: Periodic Table Introduction The most important classification in chemistry is the arrangement of the elements in the periodic table. In 1869, Mendeleev, a Russian scientist, was the first to construct a periodic table. He arranged the elements in order of increasing relative atomic mass. He pointed out that elements with similar properties kept

  Topic: Time; Concepts of Time, Ways of Measuring Time, i.e. Both Old and Modern Methods Both Galileo and Newton and most people up until the 20th century thought that time was the same for everyone everywhere. This is the basis for timelines, where time is a parameter. Our modern conception of time is based

  Failure is a positive act of creativity. Scientists, artists, engineers, and even entrepreneurs know this as adults. But in schools, the notion of failure is complicated. Any practice – athletic, artistic, even social – involves repeatedly failing till one gets the experience or activity right. We need to “keep the challenge constant so players

  Topic: Freehand Sketching When we see a photograph of an object, we understand immediately its message. If we are tghinking of an imaginary object, we cannot take its photograph immediately as we can only imagine it. What can be done is to sketch the imaginary picture of the object. So freehand sketching is of

    Topic: Derivation of Equation of Linear Motion Equations of Motion The variable quantities in a uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion are time, speed, distance covered and acceleration. Simple relations exist between these quantities. These relations are expressed in terms of equations called equations of motion. There are three equations of motion.  1) v =

  Topics: Preparation and Acceptance of Bill and Invoice Once an order is received, it immediately goes to the sales office personnel who records the details, fills in missing details and completes calculations. When all vitals are assembled, a customers’ bill or invoice is made out. There are various mechanised procedures used in spreading up
