All people get taller as they get older even the shortest man in the world who is only a mere 21 inches tall, that's not bigger than my dog (miniature schnauzer) or two of my shoes together. But, even he grew maybe not a lot, but he grew. We human grow some faster and some slower than each other, and I am a very tall kid for my age. For this reason, I want to know how I achieved my height. Since I was a newborn, I was a big baby, and my baby stats are 8.1 pounds, length 21.5 inches, head…

Chlopolean At my physical this year my doctor confirmed what I already knew deep, deep down in my heart of hearts: I’m done growing. I’ve seen pictures from when I was born, and even then I was tiny. Still, I’d never really thought about my size much until I was about eleven and I realized that I was the only one in my class still wearing clothes from The Children’s Place. I had always just assumed I’d catch up to my peers. My mother and father are 5’8 and 6’3 respectively, and they too had…

Larisa Snitko Mr. Scinta Animal Research May 19, 2015 Snowy Owl Hi, I’m strigiform! Actually, that’s my scientific name for snowy owl, so I’m actually Larisa the Owl!

My parents could be 25-27 inches tall. The older I get my fur will get whiter and I will have some black dots on me but it all will disappear…

Ansuya walked briskly, head down, following the cracks in the pavement closely with her feet. Her dark brown hair fell in soft waves over her shoulders and obscured her face slightly. She was too distracted by her concentration to brush it away from her tired brown eyes. The rubber souls of her sandals had to fall just so, parallel to each new crease in the ground. This was often a difficult task, as the brick streets of Mumbai’s suburbs were full of cracks and damage caused by the decades of…

Manchester, England -- In an effort to scratch his never-ending itch, Sol N. Foote has surgically had one of his hands attached to his left ankle. Since birth Mr. Foote has suffered from Pruritus, the medical term for itching. Pruritus can occur anywhere on your skin, however, the feet are particularly susceptible, as people place them in hot and sweaty conditions by wearing overly tight footwear. Allowing exposure to water and other irritants when barefoot can also cause infectious bacteria and…

one hundred ninety-six countries (One-hundred ninety-five, if people don’t include Taiwan) in the world and they all use the metric system, except Burma, Liberia, and the United States. Gabriel Mouton is the “father” of the International System of Units because he proposed the idea of the decimal system of measurement in 1670. The decimal system was an easy concept to comprehend, and throughout many years scientists would revise his work and make it better. During the French Revolution in 1790,…

nation. Consequently, why should America compromise their success by sticking with an unconventional system of measurement? It is for this and many other reasons why the U.S.A should convert to the metric system. The metric system is a multinational unit of measurement in both the real world and the science field. It is not only renowned but also easier to use overall. Ultimately, the time for the metric system has finally come for the good of America. The metric system is the standard in 95%…

of this project I am starting to gain more knowledge in implementing project based learning. Among the things I learned is that the project is implemented in the beginning of the unit and should dictate the flow of lesson and activities. It provides context or theme to deliver the different concepts essential for the unit. On the other hand, technology is used to reinforce the context in the form of simulation and modeling as the concepts are introduced and applied in the form of spreadsheet,…
