Curious George Research Paper

Improved Essays
Growing up watching Curious George, it was no astonishment that I was indeed just as curious as George himself. Since the age of five, I’ve been amazed by chemistry (and I didn’t even know what it was). This included everything from why oil and water never mixed together to where my water disappeared to after being unattended. While the interactions of polar and nonpolar molecules drew my attention, I wanted to learn more about how molecules interact with each other, so I joined the AP Chemistry class offered at my high school.

On the first day, I was overwhelmed. I didn’t know what stoichiometry meant, how many atoms were in a mole, or what cations and anions meant. Overwhelmed was certainly an understatement at the time. As days passed

    The Cinderella Man Before the Great Depression had started, and when Twenties were still roaring on, James J. Braddock a.k.a. Cinderella Man , a pro-boxer and the father of three children, was winning fights and earning money.

    Throughout history, society and culture has consistently evolved and transformed ushering in better opportunities for people willing to work hard. During the 19th century, the United States began expanding westward exploring and settling its new territories all the way to the Pacific ocean. With this great expansion came the need to connect the nation from coast to coast, resulting in the development of a transcontinental railroad that could transport an individual across the expanse of the country in a single week. Portrayed as a land of limitless opportunity, many settlers moved West in search of a better, brighter future for themselves and their offspring.

    Chemical reactions keep the world alive, and after this research, I realized just how many chemical reactions, especially precipitation reactions, ruled the world. It is such an integral part of daily life, yet we are not even remotely close to realizing it is happening. It was interesting to see that the reaction was able to produce two kinds of films – one photographic, while the other pertains to a biological structure. Another interesting thing was the juxtaposition of the two application examples, and how it taught me that chemistry overlaps with multiple subjects such as physics and biology and even anatomy and much more. This gave me a wider perspective of chemistry’s application.…
