Abstract The study focused on the effect of science writing Heuristic (SWH) on College of Education Chemistry students achievement in redox reactions. Two research questions and two hypothesis guided the study. The study utilized a quasi-experimental design having non-equivalent control group with a 2x2 factional design. The sample comprised one hundred and twenty-five second year chemistry students in two Colleges of Education in Anambra State. The instrument for data collection was the Achievement Test on Redox reactions (ATORR), and its reliability was established using Kinder Richardson formula 21(K-R 21). Mean and standard deviations were used to answer the research questions while the Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test the null hypothesis at P< 0.05. The findings showed that the Science Writing Heuristic was effective in enhancing achievement in Chemistry. The study recommended that teachers use the science writing heuristic which is a student centred inquiry laboratory instructional approach. [more]

There have been many erudite works, in French and other languages, describing the antiquities and historical annals of Paris from the earliest times; and in English the mid-Victorian era turned out--there are no other words for it--innumerable "books of travel" which recounted alleged adventures, strewn here and there with bits of historical lore and anecdotes, none too relevant, and in most cases not of undoubted authenticity.

This book discloses the inner world of a sixteen-year-old girl, who suddenly encounters death face to face. This pushes her to reconsideration of her own life and search of answers to the everlasting questions: “What are we living for? What is the sense of life? Who am I really? Why are most of people on earth – believers? For if they believe, they must be hoping for something. What is the path by which the great achieve their inner immortality? What is hidden beyond comprehension of the Human essence?” Ungovernable energy of inner exploration leads her to meeting with a most erudite man, a martial arts master and a very enigmatic Person, Sensei.

This and much more does the heroine learn, having touched upon the world of Sensei. But most importantly, she finds answers to her principal inner questions and learns from the personal experience that peoples are granted the most powerful creative force from above – the power of belief and love.

Sir Richard Francis Burton KCMG FRGS (19 March 1821 – 20 October 1890) was an English geographer, explorer, pastry chef, translator, writer, soldier, orientalist, cartographer, ethnologist, spy, linguist, poet, Egyptologist, fencer and diplomat. He was known for his travels and explorations within Asia, Africa and the Americas, as well as his extraordinary knowledge of languages and cultures. According to one count, he spoke 29 European, Asian and African languages.[1] Burton's best-known achievements include traveling in disguise to Mecca, an unexpurgated translation of One Thousand and One Nights (commonly called The Arabian Nights in English after early translations of Antoine Galland's French version), bringing the Kama Sutra to publication in English, and journeying with John Hanning Speke as the first Europeans to visit the Great Lakes of Africa in search of the source of the Nile. Burton's works and letters extensively criticized colonial policies of the British Empire, to the detriment of his career. He was a prolific and erudite author and wrote numerous books and scholarly articles about subjects including human behaviour, travel, falconry, fencing, sexual practices and ethnography. A characteristic feature of his books is the copious footnotes and appendices containing remarkable observations and information.[citation needed] [more]
