Both I would always participate in I would help set the haunted house up and decorate, I would hide to scare the kids in the haunted house, but also help with the many activities that went on. During Easter, I would make hundreds of boiled eggs along with other volunteers we would decorate and hide them. I would sometimes dress up as the…
ever thought about making a contraption that protects eggs when dropped from ten feet? This machine can consist of popsicles, a maximum of ten balloons, a raw and hard boiled egg, as well as dixie cups, a small plastic bag, and glue. As a machine can protect an egg breaking on the ground, so can machines protect rovers when landed on a planet. Through viewing this, you can find out what type of machine my partner and I will use for our very own egg drop, and where you would see it contrasted in…
Friona has many unique events that distinguish us from the many other bijou towns all around it. There’s the cheeseburger festival, which, being the “cheeseburger capital of the Texas”, is a must. They have Maize Days to celebrate their community’s people and businesses. And then there’s Friona High School’s own Chieftain Challenge that, like its name states, challenges its students. The Chieftain Challenge began with a couple of students trying to come up with a good idea for their Family,…
It all started when my dad told the family that he had been let go from his job at the Big Lake school district as a technician because the school did not have enough money to keep all of the techs there. It was an upsetting moment for everyone, but we had to move on and find a new job. After a few weeks, we did. My dad was accepted by a job in New Hampshire, a state that was far from our wonderful Minnesota home. I was super excited about this New Hampshire Job because it was in a new unseen…
Virginia Woolf once said, "As long as she thinks of a man, nobody objects to a woman thinking." What she meant by this is that women are far too often put down for thinking of anyone but the “man” in her life. Before modern civilization, women were told that they couldn’t think for themselves or get an education, that they needed to stay in the shadows while men take all the glory. Though the standards of women have greatly changed, especially for women who live in the United States, women are…
The egg is composed of 5 parts. The outermost layer is the egg shell. It is made up of calcium. The next layer is the albumen, which is a thick white substance that holds the yolk, which is the yellow genetic material in the center of the egg. The air pocket on the wider end of the egg is known as the air cell and serves as the root to holding the yolk in place without spinning around. The final and most important part of the egg is the germinated spot that the chick…

Method: In this experiment each group received 2 chicken eggs whose shells have been dissolved off. This gave us a differentially permeable membrane so that we can observe osmosis and what happens when the membrane is presented with different solutions. Since we did not know the concentration of the egg, we had to assume that it equaled the concentration of the membrane. We then had the ability to determine the concentration based off the assumption and the rate of osmosis. We used 5…
I am my 4-H club’s president. My club has 52 people in it with most of them being under the age of ten. Sometimes I regret running for president, but then at other times I feel it is a great leadership experience. The duties of a president are not only running the meetings and showing animals. It is about helping out the community, helping the younger members with their projects and teaching them how to be a better person and also teach them responsibility with taking care of their animals.…
