On August 11 the world lost Howard Brody, a physics professor who worked at the University of Pennsylvania. He died at the age of 83 and left behind a series of findings that made him known as “the world’s foremost physicist of tennis,” as said by Margalit Fox in her NY Times article. Howard focused his professional work on particle physics until the size of a tennis racket caused him to investigate the sport even further. He was specifically curious about how the tennis ball would hit the racket’s percussion center, which would create “a torque-free still point” (Fox). After recently learning the meaning of torque in physics class I was able to understand that this meant if the ball hit at a specific spot there would be a very small amount…

In this essay it will explain about the similarities and differences between two units of Algebra 1, Unit 2 and Unit 4.

It’s exactly what it sounds like, the whole school sings for a few hours. There’s not even cake, it wasn’t much of a celebration by my standards. Anyway, I was fortunate enough to be chosen to lead the school in this. It was fantastic I got to stand up in front of my entire school and their parents and sing songs I absolutely and whole heartedly…

times fewer women, especially minorities, have been involved in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). This information serves as a chilling contradiction to the late 1960s when technological jobs such as computer programming was deemed as something a savvy young woman could do even comparing computer planning to “planning a dinner”. This paper will analyze why there has been a decrease in the amount of women in the fields of STEM, ways to increase the percentage…

Walking out onto the green grass of the Braden River Soccer Fields, I have butterflies in my stomach. It was a hot, beautiful day with the sun beating down and not a cloud in the sky. I look at the small, red clubhouse building and see four of my teammates sitting down against the wall of it. I hardly knew anyone on my team, except a boy named Noah with blond, curly hair and pale skin. As my team showed up one by one, nobody said anything to each other. Before the game started, our coach, Coach…
