The Iceman, also known as Ötzi, is a 5,300 year old body found mummified in the ice of the Alps. Ötzi’s prehistoric body was found just near the border of Italy and Austria by two hikers who went off the hiking course. It is a complete mystery how Ötzi had died and based on facts, scientist have came up with many theories. Ötzi’s body was found with a tip of an arrow in his back. Based on this crucial piece of evidence, the most logical theory is that he was assassinated because of the damage to his head and the arrow found in his shoulder.…
"One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of his great surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn't do,"this quote by Henry Ford reconnects when it comes to facing something you're afraid of; our fears. When we get over fears, we realize only then that we had the courage before to do that something we were afraid of doing. One time I was afraid was when I started ice skating. I was at a party for my younger sister's friend at an ice ring.…
Journal 2 So far, the assigned reading and assignment has been informative and useful. When I finished reading chapter 2, I started to gain a better idea of the problem solving involved in programming. This week’s assignment, although not overly challenging, was beneficial to my learning. Right away, when I was writing the formula for the triangle, I arranged the formula as follows: 1//2 * base * height I got 0 as an answer instead of zero, which puzzled me for a while.…
Otzi The Iceman is one of the oldest known natural European mummy’s that is extremely well preserved. He was found on September 19th, 1991 by two German hikers in the Otzal Alps. He was named after the place where he was found. When he was first found, people thought he was only 500 years old until scientists found out that he was from 3300BCE, more than 5000 years old.…
The creation of ice skates Ice skates as we know them have changed in many ways since they were first invented thousands of years ago. Ice skates are used for activities such as sports, recreation, and even transportation. The creation of ice skates and all the changes through states have helped athletes like skaters, speed skaters and performance of hockey players and recreational skating did more feasible. Earliest known pair Ice skates were invented in Northern Europe in Scandinavia, Germany and the Netherlands.…
Who was Otzi? Why was he murdered? How was he murdered? What happened? Those are all questions trying to be answered.…
This activity helped the girls trust one-another on the high ropes course because they were belaying each other, Egyptian belay style (a ratio of 4 girls belaying to one girl climbing). Every single one of the girls was able to be part of a belay team, and almost all of the girls attempted an…
When dry ice is put into water they start to reacting and boiling. That reaction is called sublimation. Sublimation is when something solid goes straight to gas skipping the liquid phase. So because the water is warm it heats up the dry ice which causes it to form a gas. The gas is carbon dioxide.…
Sungwoong Lee My brother and I watched the film Chasing Ice together on Wednesday. I watched all of the trailers that were on the list. However, among those 5 films of the list, I decided to watch the Chasing Ice because the scenery of Arctic was magnificent and I’m also interested in topic of global warming and wanted to know more about how the global warming affects to the glaciers in Artic.…
The triangle: The triangle is a plane figure which is formed by three lines and therefore it has three sides. This shape can be found in many contemporary and historical contexts as can be seen below. 1) The pink triangle is usually associated with the gay community and the gay rights movement as a symbol of empowerment, however, the pink triangle started during around world war two.…

Does the type of liquid affect how fast an ice cube melts? Does the type of liquid affect how fast an ice cube melts? In an experiment (not ours) involving three liquids, pop melted the ice within it the fastest out of the three. Molecules cause ice to melt in a pretty simple way. When salt is thrown on snow or ice, it prevents the ice or snow from freezing over once again.…
HYPOTHESIS: As the ice cubes melt in the warm water, the melted water from the ice should flow towards the bottom of the cup because the melted colder water is denser than the surrounding water. PURPOSE: The purpose of this experiment is to improve my ability to observe an experiment. In addition, it will help aid me in making proper observations while also drawing conclusions. RAW MATERIALS:…
“According to the EPA in the last hundred years the sea level has about risen six to eight inches” (Hohensee). The ice caps are melting at an increasing rate, this is due to the increase in the global temperature. The melting ice is causing ocean and rivers to have a rise in water. The increase in oceans is causing beaches to erode faster. Due to this many coastal cities and factories have faced issue with increased storms and flooding.…
Introduction: During my time at James A. Whitaker Elementary School in Buena Park Unified School District, I was able to observe Mrs. Solomon’s fourth grade class. Mrs. Solomon makes sure that her class is a very welcoming place. She does so by standing at the door in the morning and personally greeting each and every one of her students. Once each of the students have entered the class, Mrs. Solomon opens the class session by enthusiastically saying, “Welcome back!”…
