The 1920s were an odd decade in Canada’s history. From an economic slump to an economic boom to the Great Depression, this decade toyed with people’s emotions almost more than any other. Now ‘roaring’ is an interesting way to describe this time period. “Roaring” has several definitions, but the one that pertains to the 20s is ‘prosperity especially of a temporary nature’ (merriam-webster.com). Now this name focuses on the positive events that occurred, and let’s be honest, this was not only a…

On March 11, 2011 after a 9.0 magnitude earthquake, a 15-metre tsunami disabled the power supply and cooling of three Fukushima Daiichi reactors and within the first three days all three cores largely melted (World Nuclear Association 2016). The tsunami flooded the Daiichi plant which disabled 12 out of the 13…

1. Introduction 1.1 Background Global warming is the term used to describe an increase in the temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and its oceans. Global warming is caused by either an external factor or our (humans) own action. Examples of external factors are volcanic eruptions and the variation of orbiting the Sun. The burning of fossil fuels, smoking and so on are factors done by humans which could lead towards air pollution. The particles will basically make the ozone layer (the layer…

Purpose: To use Parallax and triangulation to measure the indirect distance between two points. Hypothesis: If a long distance is measured using triangulation then it will produce an accurate measurement. Materials: 1. Protractor 2. Ruler 3. Tape measure 4. Table or desk 5. Paper 6. Pencil 7. Masking tape Procedure: 1. Gather all of your materials 2. Clear off your table or desk 3. Place an object at one end of the desk (image A). Using masking tape, label this point C. 4. From the end…

Cigarettes started to appear in America around 1865, but they didn’t become a big thing until 1885 when the first machine was made to mass produce cigarettes. (Meyer) Around WWI, production became a bigger demand in America. (Meyer) People didn’t see cigarette smoking as a bad thing. They actually thought it was beneficial until men who had smoked for a long time would start developing lung cancer. (Meyer) When people decided to quit smoking they would use nicotine patches or nicotine gum, these…

Stage One Chemistry A Issues Investigation – Water Dihydrogen monoxide, referred to as DHMO, is chemically represented as H2O, universally recognized as water. The consumption of dihydrogen monoxide, intentional or accidental, attributes to potential hazards: dependent on the extent of ingestion. Extreme ingestion provokes potential death upon inhalation of its liquid state, whilst moderate consumption contributes to excess urination, nausea and electrolyte imbalance. Dihydrogen monoxide…

creating mountains. The creation of Uluru began over 500 million years ago. Uluru is made from Arkose which is a coarse grained sandstone rich in the mineral feldspar. Arkose was eroded from high mountains combined mainly of granite. Uluru rises 348 metres above the desert plain but it…

Speed of Sound Aim The aim of this practical is to measure the speed of sound using the resonance method. Variables Independent: Frequency Dependent: Length of Tube Constants: Temperature Diameter of Tube Theory The general equation used for finding the speed of a wave is v=fλ, as v∝f and v∝λ. The goal of this experiment will be to find v, the speed of sound. The only given is f, the frequency emitted by the tuning fork, however the wavelength, λ is not given. This value is derived from the…

The peer involved in the 6-week health program is Ashlee Sargent, aged twenty. An interview was conducted to identify the health behaviour that she wishes to change in the program. From the interview, relevant information was collected. The client is currently working as a receptionist in a physiotherapy clinic. She works on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays. She has a gym membership and currently exercises for three times a week. She exercises for an hour and mostly runs on a treadmill. The speed…

events and only one running event. The first running event, won by a cook named Corebus, was a 192 meter sprint (“Olympic Games”). The current Olympics include 24 track and field events for the men and 23 for the women. Some of these events include the 100 meter sprint, 200 meter sprint , 400 meter sprint and 1500 meter run (“Athletics”). In the ancient Olympics one of the biggest attractions was…
