A landfill is a designated disposal area carefully managed and engineered for the municipal population’s trash. landfills are not “dumps’'. A "dump" is when trash and waste are thrown illegally onto ground or waterway without following proper disposal or recycling regulations and procedures. These kind of "dumps" are completely illegal in the provence of Ontario.(1) What exactly is a landfill? A landfill isn’t Simply a mountain of trash buried in the ground. Landfills have to be carefully…
with the examining the composition of the universe. The early Greek philosopher, Thales, argued that the world was made up of one universal thing; water. It wasn’t until Democritus and the Atomist until philosophers began to rationalize about small particles called atoms as the things that make up the universe. As time approached the 18th century, advances in the scientific method gave rise to developing processes to examine the composition of gas molecules and the molecular weights of the atoms…
Albert Einstein is universally looked to as one of the most influential physicists of the 20th century, with his studies making a extensive impact on the understanding of the universe. He was born with a curious mind and strived to understand everything going on in the world around him as well as the world outside his perception. This drive lead him to develop theories that would enhanced the way scientists analyze the universe today, opening new avenues of discovery. Albert Einstein was born…
A. i) The rate of a reaction is the change of a substance’s concentration per units of time. The reaction rate of an experiment is dependent on many things including concentration, presence of a catalyst, and, most importantly, temperature. Temperature and reaction rate are directly correlated, which means that as one increases, so does the other. It is a general approximation that the rate of a reaction will increase by a factor of two for every 10°C jump in temperature. Increased temperature…
In his novel, Brave New World, English writer Aldous Leonard Huxley (26 July 1894 – 22 November 1963) tells us about his version of future. Set in London of 632 A.F. (“After Ford” in the book, which becomes equivalent to AD 2540 in the Gregorian Calendar) (Wikipedia.) the story follows the “misfit” Bernard Marx, whose name is originated from the historical figures George Bernard Shaw (or possibly Bernard of Clairvaux or possibly Claude Bernard) and Karl Marx. By using his position in society…
Classroom’s Atmosphere The Classroom’s Atmosphere is vital to a Student’s success and impacts students in many ways. Classroom’s Atmosphere talks about the ventilation inside the classroom, the mood inside the classroom, and the overall color and brightness of the classroom. Ms. Firestone states that a negative learning environment or setting that adversely affects student learning, can affect the students in many ways such as low student achievement, poor behavior, student anxiety, or…
The Semmelweis Reflex In 2017, it is common knowledge that bacteria live inside of corpses, and that bacteria can cause diseases. Almost every elementary schooler is fully aware of this fact. Nevertheless, at one point this was a groundbreaking discovery, one that was met with great skepticism and mockery. The German-Hungarian physician Ignaz Semmelweis (July 1, 1818 – August 13, 1865) is credited with the discovery of what is now common sense: one should wash their hands between handling dead…
John and his sister Amanda lived in a town called Greensburg. John had a friendly personality and his sister had a very curious personality. They both lived in a normal brown house near the beach. When they weren’t doing homework, or when they weren’t at school, they played together at the beach. Greensburg was known as a creepy town after being founded in 1856 by an Infamous criminal, known as Tom Perry strange stuff started to happen people would report to see Mermaids,Ghosts and flashing red…
Our universe was created 13.7 billion years ago. The Big Bang theory proposes that this creation resulted from the rapid expansion of matter with infinitely large density and high temperature, which marked the true origin of the universe. Physicists decided to introduce a new phenomenon called time, and agreed that “time” was born once the Big Bang banged. Simply defined, time is the measure of durations of events and the intervals between them. In non-relativistic physics, physicists consider…
and the model of the atom has undergone many revisions. One of Dalton's postulates discusses the indivisibility of atoms, but we know today that atoms are made up of neutrons, protons, and electrons, which in turn are made up of even smaller elementary particles like quarks and leptons. Similarly, the atomic model has changed multiple times; electrons were thought to be free floating until Bohr proposed his orbital model. In this case, not all previous knowledge was discarded. Electrons are…
