Makayla is talking to Mia about the whether we ever landed on the Moon. Mia says,” I have a theory about that.” Using 3 – 4 complete sentences, what is wrong with Mia’s use of the term “theory” in this instance? Mia is wrong to use the word theory because the word implies that you have some scientific evidence to back up whatever your theory states. She is implying that she went through an experiment and gathered information about her theory. She should gather evidence to use the word…
As mentioned before, pitching requires several joints and muscles. Shoulder and elbow are two of the joints that are involved in the movement. Of the six phases of pitching, arm cocking, acceleration and deceleration are the three phases when elbow and shoulder joints experience high magnitudes of forces (Oyama 83). Windup is the phase that occurs when the pitcher places the non-throwing hand is in front of the target. In the beginning of the arm cocking phase, the non-throwing shoulder is…
Conclusion The hypothesis was that extreme temperatures would affect the bounce height of a basketball. This hypothesis was accepted. The average bounce height for the regular basketball was seventy three and 3 tenths repeating. Sixty two and six tenths repeating was the average for the frozen basketball. The average was eighty-three and three tenths repeated for the heated basketball. We believe that these results are present because air molecules will expand in warmer temperatures and they…
Dehumidification in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky –Tristate Area If your indoor air feels heavy and smells a bit musty, it could mean that your home is experiencing high levels of humidity. Although humidity is important, having too much can destroy the pleasant environment because it encourages allergens, like mold and mildew, to grow. Thankfully, you can reduce the amount of humidity in the air with a dedicated dehumidifier. This system is designed to pull excess moisture in the air…
The ectothermal approach to life enables animals to life in habitats that would be difficult or nearly impossible for an endotherm to live. The low energy requirement of ectotherms is the reason for this. They do not require energy to maintain the higher body temperatures that endotherms do. As a result of this, they have more tolerant tissues and can afford to eat less. Endotherms exhibit highly specialized tissues adapted to a certain…
hurricane. Glow sticks are powered by the process Chemiluminescence, which means that it is an emission of light that is not caused by heating. Chemiluminescence reactions emit occasionally a small amount of heat sometimes not even any heat, because the energy is unleashed as a light instead of heat. Many people use glow sticks for many differnet reasons such as emergency workers after an earthquake or natural disaster and they are even used for scuba diving at night , men and women in the…
This experiment monitored the synthesis of uridine from the deamination of cytidine through separating the contents of the reaction mixture using HPLC (High-performance liquid chromatography) at various time intervals since the start of the reaction. Cytidine and uridine standards are ran and the output of the HPLC will show two peaks based on the retention times of each compound. Identified the peak with the retention time of 2.422 minutes is cytidine and uridine has a retention time of 2.716…
this Rube Goldberg machine, an outside source of energy is transferred through the machine when someone adds force to part of the machine therefore starting the “simple” task. The initial energy is transferred from through each object therefore creating a chain reaction and then resulting in moving the final chess piece. There are two main types of energy as demonstrated in the Rube Goldberg machine; potential energy and kinetic energy. Potential energy can be seen when a rubber band is…
If you have a well on your property, make sure that you follow these three tips to ensure that your well pump system makes it through the winter without an incidents. #1 Protect Your Pump With A Pump House The most basic way you can protect your well pump system is by ensure that it is covered with a pump house.

What does an award mean to a person? An award could mean a person was successful; such as, moving to the next step in a career. A reward could also mean recognition for a simple action given; such as, showing up to class. These rewards for showing up to class, one may feel that these are participation trophies. While participation trophies may boost a child's self-esteem, children grow up believing goals in life are easy to come by and no matter how hard they try, they still receive credit;…
