Dmitri Shostakovich

Dmitri Mendeleev said,“There is nothing in this world that I fear to say.” Dmitri Mendeleev was a very intelligent man who strives for the best. Dmitri is the first person who created the periodic table and published it. He created and discovered it in the most interesting way. Even though he struggled through his childhood, he managed to have a good life. He also achieved a lot of goals after the periodic table. Dmitri was born in Tobolsk, Siberia on February 7, 1834. He had 14 siblings, and…

Research Paper John Murray like most scientists was not really appreciated while he was an alive but his discoveries were a major help after he died. He lived in a time that scientific discoveries were plentiful so it was extremely east for something like the study of oceanography to be overlooked. His discoveries lead to him being called the father of Oceanography (Sir John Murray-Founder of Oceanography). He was born in Canada in 1841 to Scottish parents. He soon moved to Edinburgh,…

Our prior knowledge and mindset can define the way we approach new knowledge and experiences; we see what we believe, each letting our schemas have an affect on the conclusions that we draw from situations. Our perception of what occurs and the way we go about our motives are based off of a previous inclination or concept towards the situation we are preparing to encounter. This schema is useful in helping us organize and interpret information based off of our previous experiences or lessons,…

Demitri Mendeleeve was a Russian chemist who invented the first periodic table in 1869. The periodic table he made was very different from the modern day periodic table we know today. Henry Moseley updated Mendeleev's version of the periodic table in 1915. This is more like the periodic table that we know and use today. The only difference is that there has been many more elements added. Mendeleeve also had predicted a lot of the characteristics and properties of elements that would fill up…

The purpose of this lab is to understand how the elements in similar groups are together because of similar properties the elements share. Like Mendeleev, we had made connections toward the creation of the periodic table. When finding the unknown elements we used other known elements as guides and looked for similar properties. Like the Periodic Table today, it is organized through similar properties of each element and categorized in groups. Dimitri Mendeleev was a chemist from Russia who lived…

Chemistry Honors Mrs. Moreno Period 5 INTERPRETING THE PERIODIC TABLE Partner’s name: Faranak Hajikhan, Pablo Moncada, Albina Contreras and Karla Santos Title: Interpreting the Periodic Table Date: 12-18-14 Subject: Honors Chemistry / Period 5 Introduction: The periodic table is a table of the chemical elements in which the elements are arranged by order of a atomic number. The periodic table also has a special name for its vertical columns. Each…

Shinya Yamanaka is a very successful biologist that is an expert in STEM cell research. He has recently become a frontrunner with the discoveries he has made in the field. To understand Yamanaka’s life, it is important to look at his early life, his accomplishments, and the significance/implications of these discoveries for the future. Shinya Yamanaka was a very well educated man that worked hard to get the positions he desired despite several setbacks. Yamanaka was born on September 4, 1962 in…

grouped together), we will determine the name and location of each unknown element by clustering said elements with other known elements that they share the most characteristics with. In this lab we will momentarily fill the shoes of the Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev, who was the first to observe the patterns between elements arranged according to their properties. His periodic table left room for then undiscovered elements. Analysis: Through examining the physical properties of common…

Dalton Ellis Adv. Chemistry Mr. Lawson 6th 1/05/16 Reading Assignment I choose The Disappearing Spoon, by Sam Kean because I read short reviews on all the books on the reading list, and this one seemed the most interesting. After doing some research on the boom I found that it had great reviews online, and was one of the top ten most recommended books in the chemistry genre. This book caught my attention because it gave a brief history of many of the elements, and I was keen to learn how to…

saddening piece. The main character in my book is a famous Russian composer by the name of Dmitri Shostakovich who wrote emotional symphonies, operas, and ballets for the people around him. “May 12, 1926, was a date Shostakovich called his “second birth”. He celebrated it for the rest of his life. It was the day his First Symphony was performed by a full orchestra, the Leningrad Philharmonic”(Anderson 54). Dmitri was only nineteen years old when it was first performed. It was a youthful piece…
