How does the American school year work? Do half terms exist over there?
This video got me wondering (Listen to it and read the comments) http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=DNApmyTv1Z8 . In the UK, primary school is for 5-11 year olds, and 11-16 (sometimes 11-18 if there's a sixth form) go to secondary/high school. There are three terms in the year consisting of 10-14 weeks, with a two week holiday (half-term) in the middle of each term.

Draw yourself a picture, on the left a shape say a stick man, centre a pinhole, right a screen. Draw straight lines from points on the shape through the pinhole, see where they hit the screen Simpler? OK , you will need paper, ruler, pen or pencil Draw yourself a picture, on the left a shape say a lollypop. in the centre a point representing the pinhole. On the right a vertical line representing a screen. Draw straight lines from points on the lollypop through the centre point, see where they hit the screen.

That is true for any lensed camera besides pinhole cameras. It is a property of optics that light rays travel in a straight line seeking the shortest route. In the absence of a lens, said light will pass an aperture from, say, the upper part of the subject to the lower part of the image.

How does an American student apply to university in the UK
How does an American student apply to university in the UK?
I'm an IB student from Oregon and I am interested in attending the University of East Anglia in Norfolk for a degree in medical history. What is the average tuition fee for an American going to the UK for school and is this a realistic goal?

ucas is what we use to apply to uni here..hope this page is of some help.. http://www.ucas.ac.uk/students/wheretostart/nonukstudents/studyingintheuk

Attending a university in the UK as an American student will cost you about as much as attending an expensive US private college in an expensive city (think Boston, NYC, LA) in the states....but unlike private universities/colleges in the US, UK universities do not offer any financial aid. This will mean you and your family will need to pay one average $35,000 a year for you to attend university in the UK. You also need to take into account exchange rates. The dollar is weaker than the pound but it can fluctuate, meaning one month groceries can cost X amount and the next month they can cost several dollars more. Same goes for rent, plane tickets, clothes, etc. Unless your family is very affluent and has more money then they know what to do with, I would look at universities in the US and consider graduate school in the UK, which would only be for a year (for a master's).
