Journal Don’t ever lose hope finding someone you love. In the book Maximum Ride: The Angle Experiment, Max, Nudge, Fang, Iggy, and Gasman had someone taken away from them. These people known as erasers or “white coats” had taken away eleven year old Angel to the “school” as they call it, but ill talk about that later. Max, or her full name Maximum is one of the older Characters next to Fang (boy) at around the age 18. Both Nudge (girl) and Gasman (boy) are at around 10 to 13, and Angel is 11.…
The Kindertransport was a rescue effort to bring Jewish youth to safety during World War II. This effort took place in the years from 1938 to 1940, which ultimately saved 10,000 adolescents under the age of seventeen. British authorities had set up the Kindertransport in hope to rescue as many Jewish children as possible. “Kindertransport was the informal name of the rescue operation, a movement in which many organizations and individuals participated. ”(Kindertransport History)…
The NASA Antares Rocket exploded out of the air, after it was clearly safe to launch. 5,000 pounds of supplies and more than 200 million dollars were wasted. Heading to the space station on the rocket were several experiments given by the Chinese, Russians, Americans, and Australians. They were supposed to be tested in space to examine their effects in space however, after the explosion, the experiments need to be returned back to each country accordingly. The Chinese will get LB (mineral oil), MD (aluminum), WC (oak), and PA (corn starch); the Russian people shall receive LC ( isopropyl alcohol), MC (brass), WA (poplar), and PC (salt); the people of the U.S. will receive LE (corn syrup), MF (lead), WB (balsa), and PF (sucrose); the Australian…
Move Over NASCAR - Drone Racing Is Here You may have seen them in the sky over your house, or most likely heard about them on the news; now, drones are coming to a sports channel near you. ESPN has just released a statement announcing the first televised National Drone Racing Championship will take place on Governors Island in New York City, from August 5 - 7. This will be the first event in the newly signed contract with ESPN and the International Drone Racing Association (IDRA).…
This science project was a lot of fun and has taught a lot about how cars use aerodynamics, wind speed, and drag to help them go…
Boys and toys are inseparable. Most of us grew up with Hot Wheels, assembling the track that came with loops, 360 spins and a jumping bridge. Hot Wheels was the ultimate toy (not forgetting the ultimate pain in the foot if we stepped on a rogue car in the night). The great thing about Hot Wheels is not just the car; it is also about the tracks, building them and redesigning based on our imagination, thus making the toy more exciting to play. hot weels…
It’s a blast! We have recently just opened up a new ride in Hersheypark entitled “The Star Wars Coaster”. It’s an ongoing water slide that has many unique properties. Such as increased momentum from time to time which increases your acceleration throughout the ride. Imagine going through the galaxy and experiencing spacecraft, while in orbit you there are multiple space spots which gives your space pod a surge in speed.…
Activity 3: Bullroarers Lesson Objective: Students will simulate the function a propeller by creating an ancient signaling device known as a bullroarer. Set-Up: Each student will need one craft stick, one index card, one rubber band and 2 paper clips. Groups of students can share measuring tape, string, markers and masking tape.…
The Kindertransport was a rescue industry, which brought thousands of Jewish refugee children to Great Britain during the Holocaust between 1938 and 1940. This is one of the most well-known rescue movements of children. It was called “The Movement for the Care of Children from Germany”, later known as the Refugee Children’s Movement. Children with Jewish background suffered discrimination and persecution during the national socialist regime in Germany from 1933 onwards (Hammel, 2016, p. 239). They sent representatives to Germany and Austria to inaugurated the systems for choosing, organizing, and transporting the children.…

I’m in an engineering class and I think it’s a good thing to dragster because you can learn the different aspects of engineering. This class teaches me the different steps of engineering. Dragster teaches kids and maybe adults to have fun and get crafty with designing different things. One thing that is important to remember is. CO2 dragster cars are a small wooden hand-made car but has incredible speed.…
In science class, my group and I were asked to build a propeller car. The challenge was to build the fastest propeller car ever. We came up with 3 prototypes and prototype number two was the best overall. We came up with our prototypes by knowing that the less mass and object has, the faster the object will accelerate. We also knew that the more friction an object has the less I’ll accelerate.…
Propulsion is a force that pushes forward or drives and object forward. This concept can be seen in action with the use of a balloon powered car; this car demonstrates a type of propulsion system in which it produces thrust and potential energy and uses the kinetic energy that it will gain from the movement to push the car forward. The thrust is obtained from the balloon which applies Newton’s third of motion that states, “for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” Specifically, the balloon car’s action of the air escaping from the straw causes the reaction being the movement of the car. In my car, the design was formulated to best execute those actions with the fairly light materials allowing the car to have the maximum potential…
The materials used in both the Airbus A380 and the Boeing 787 Dreamliner must be strong enough and maintained as efficiently as possible to overcome various stresses it will face during take-off, flight and landing. These five stresses…
