His father then sends Joseph to check on his brothers, who were tending…

experiment. 2. Fill the jug with 150ml of water 3. place the water in a bowl and make sure you submerge your chosen brand of towel 4. start the watch as soon as the towel is fully submerged and time for 20 seconds 5. take the paper towel out of the bow after times’ up and hold it for 10 seconds above the bowl so any excess will drip back into the bowl 6. place the soggy towel onto a plate or inside a container 7. Take the bowl with the remaining water and tip it into the scale. Record the…

chains, into polymers, through a process called polymerization. Kevlar has various properties that allow it to be applicable in an array of fields requiring hard, resistant, durable materials, be it canoe racing or aerospace. Amides are chemical compounds in which part of an organic acid replaces one of the hydrogen atoms in ammonia. Polyamides are made by taking an ammonia-like chemical and reacting it with an organic acid. Polyamides like Kevlar, are polymers. Polymers are huge molecules made…

1995, 342 dead snow geese are found in the Berkeley Pit. The Berkeley Pit was an operating open pit copper mine in Butte, Montana from 1955 to 1982. The mine was opened and run by the Anaconda Mining Co. When the mine was closed in 1982 it was 1 mile long by ½ mile wide and 1,780 feet deep. Pumps were run to keep the water down while mining operations were running. When the mine was closed the pumps were shut off and the water level in the pit quickly started rising at a rate of .7 feet per…

The advancement of Aztecan society is known as one of the most magnificent developments in history. In the words of the column, “Aztec Culture and Society,” this group’s rise to power is one of the most remarkable. Originating from a land classified as Aztlan— or better translated as the White Land (History.com Staff, 2009)— the Aztecs began as a simple system of peoples.

Some artists have traditionally been restricted in fully expressing creative ideas in their art because of commissioners demanding certain works, social pressures, and conflicting cultural ideas restraining inventiveness. Popular medieval paintings and prints were produced in a time period when religion was incredibly prominent, therefore, artists often created images of an idealized heaven, but also had opportunities to dabble with more rewarding, expressive subjects, such as hell and the devil…

organisms are made of cells and their products. • New cells are created by old cells dividing into two. • Cells are the basic building units of life. The development of the microscope was vital for all 3 points. Without the invention and founding of compound microscopes and electron microscopes as well as new stains and techniques to look at specimens discoveries such as ʻnew cells are created by old cells dividing into twoʼ would not have…
