Gold Crown Ring Essay

Improved Essays
The purpose of this paper is to find out what material is the gold crown ring made out of. What is interesting about this topic is that there is a lot of ways to study the gold crown ring. For example, you can test the mass, volume, and density of the ring. In the periodic table Au is the symbol for Gold, it’s atomic number is 79. The Properties of Matter are Mass, Weight, Volume, and Length. Each property has its own way of working with different types of things. It is believed that the material of the crown in this study is fake gold because gold has the imprint of the karats and the crown ring didn’t have it.

I took a gold ring that I knew right away it was gold, and compared it to the crown ring.

To measure the mass of the ring we got a scale and placed the ring on the scale. Measuring volume was by filling up a graduate cylinder to a certain

Doing each measurement on the crown ring was important because we developed what we’ve learned so far in class and show off our skills in how we get the mass, volume, and density for a specific object. What I learned from each test was knowing how to measure the crown ring in certain ways to not get the correct, exact number but at least be close to the number that it

    As you read, it seems like every line is saying "Nothing Gold Can Stay"—just in a different way in each line, and that notion is quite radical. The title doesn't just say that most gold things don't last. It tells us that nothing and absolutely nothing, gold does. You might look at some gold jewelry and think to yourself, "I paid a lot of money for this jewelry, this will never fade" and you would probably be right. But this is not the kind of “gold” Robert Frost is talking about in the poem.…

Frost demonstrates this ideology in his poem through- essentially- the nature of nature and the manner in which it behaves. On the other hand, S.E. Hinton illustrates this concept in the novel through the actions and characteristics of the protagonists.…
