Buoyancy

There is large number of people all over the country who have difficulties with their, some doing it for rehab, others because they have disabilities. Adaptive aquatics is a program based upon the Red Cross’s Learn-to-Swim initiative and is meant to aid individuals that have special needs or disabilities. Swimming for People with Disabilities by Dimitrios Kokaridas provides information on the Hallwick Method, a method used by some instructors to teach students. Adaptive aquatics is beneficial…

For the past few decades, maybe centuries, many planes and ships have randomly disappeared, and all in the same area - the Bermuda Triangle. One of the biggest disappearances includes Flight MH370. Many have speculated about the cause, or causes. Some of the causes are supernatural, including aliens, Atlantis death rays, and large, giant sea monsters, like krakens. Other theories are completely natural, like methane crystals, large waves, and human stupidity. Most have settled for the theory of…

are made with fruit and granola. Another thing that is in cereal is syrup. Syrup is put into cereal to make the meal taste better. Sugar is also put into cereal. Sugar is supposed to make the meal more sweet and not plain. What makes cereal float? Buoyancy determines whether an object in a liquid or an object surrounded by air will sink, float, or stay put. If an object is less dense than the liquid that object is in or the air surrounding that objet than that thing will float. This is why…

Measuring The Rate Of Photosynthesis Using Spinach Leaf Disks Backround Photosynthesis is the critical link between the energy of the sun and the food, as well as the fuel we consume in our daily lives. Plants release oxygen into the atmosphere when they photosynthesize. You might be wondering where the oxygen comes from, well it comes from the water in the cells of the leaves. The oxygen from the leafs move into the atmosphere through small holes on the surface of the leaf, known as…

When I was in tenth grade, in my marine sciences class we had a group project, in which we had to build three boats. It was the first project of the year, and it was a big part all of our grades. The boats could only be twelve centimeters by twelve centimeters at the most and could only be comprised of the materials provided in the class, tinfoil, two popsicle sticks, straws, tape, paper, etc. Each boat had to serve a different purpose, sail straight, hold thirty dice, or survive waves, and the…

basic human nature. It began as a way to pass blame onto another person, then onto God or gods. This changed with the ideas of Archimedes of Syracuse. Archimedes was a mathematician, physicist, and inventor who was responsible for the discovery of buoyancy and the invention of both the siege engine and screw pump. After his discoveries, the popular view on explanation was modified. Instead of divine powers intervening in the world, people realized that natural objects and forces were the cause…

another 130 years and is currently over 7.4 billion (Worldometers). After the industrial revolution, as technologies, medical science, and the economy of the world improve and develop, the mortality rate decreases and the life expectancy and the buoyancy in the population increase through improvements of living standards. This accelerated the growth of the global population, hence the rate of the global population change is now increasing along an upward curve. Many experts and researchers…

Perhaps men are the better athletes. Perhaps men cannot be compared to women when it comes to athletics. Perhaps men will always be the dominant sex symbolized of power and strength. But no. Why are women always characterized as the weaker gender? Is it because of views based on physical appearance where women always seem scrawny and feeble? Whatever the reason is, female athletes deserve the respect that male athletes receive. This is because I will break the stereotype that only men can excel…

The way I would rewrite a technical paper is making it interesting, accessible and easy to understand for the average reader and give them a reason to read it. Also, I would maintain the paper's purpose of informing by maintaining the scientific aspect information also not overwhelm the audience with data. A technical piece is a bit dry for the average reader, some readers simply read the first paragraph and decide that it's not worth reading because it is uninteresting or they do not see the…
