Snow globes are made of clear glass, a transparent sphere with a scenic view and a plastic toy inside the globe. The sphere likewise encases the water in the globe; the water fills in as the medium through, where the snow falls. The globe must be shaken to actuate the snow so the white particles can fall gradually to reach the base. When the snowflakes/object falls, it experiences two external forces which are; the gravitational force and the aerodynamic (air resistance) drag of the object,…

It's hard to learn and physically exerting, not to mention the thousands of bruises that come with the learning process. Ice is unforgiving. But after many hours and a pair of brand name snow pants ripped to pieces, I could slide down the bunny slope with ease. "Am I doing this right?" I asked, comparing my wide carving tracks to the straight speed of pros flying out…

My body heat was melting the ice below me. I continued to listen to the conversation around me which had changed subjects. I was not able to make out what it was they were talking about. I was more focused on the fact that I was slowly descending into the ground. I was terrified of…

The wind is frigid. Campus bustles with life—faintly stiffened by the cold bite. It is just another wintery day at the University of Michigan: salted sidewalks, slush-covered surfaces, in all, a snowy scene. While the squirrels hibernate cozily in their dens, the geese gaggle about campus—Canadian geese, specifically. What started out as a coat made for arctic expeditions, Himalayan quests, and Yukon excursions, has now blossomed into one of winter’s biggest fashion trends. Because, oui,…

Geography and L. M. Sommers, author of “Michigan: A Geography”, “Of all the glacial landforms, moraines best tell the tale of the retreat of the ice from the surface of Michigan. They mark the lines of halt and with their accompanying till plains, the lines of retreat. They reveal the halting retreats and slight readvances of the glacier; they show us where the ice held its position for thousands of years. Each glacial lobe built up its own set of moraines which can be mapped and more or less…

Snowboarding Imagine walking outside in the winter time feeling a cold breeze come across your face when you come in contact with the crisp fresh air. As I step out of the ski lodge into the cold air, I get a spectacular view of the snow capped mountain. The snow sinks in as I step, it’s almost like walking on a cloud. I begin to get anxious as I walk down the icy slope to begin my first ever snowboarding lesson. When I get to the lesson area all the anxiousness and fear leaves my body and it…

is Produced when Dry Ice is placed in Water The main goal of the article written is to try to figure out where the dry ice-in-water-fog (DIWF) was coming from, for there has been discussion if the fog is coming from the water or if it is coming from the dry ice being sublimed. In their terms, they hope “to describe on molecular terms what may be happening in this demonstration” (644). Researchers also desired to mathematically make sense of the reaction that occurs when dry ice is placed into…

It’s a snow day!! You gaze into the bright sky, and see the tiny little snowflakes falling. You try to catch them in your mouth. Wait, how do snowflakes form, why do they look the way they do, and how are they all different? Lets learn about snowflakes! To start off, snowflakes are fascinating and all, but how do they form? According to the article, Snow Day!, it can begin snowing at 32 degrees Fahrenheit. It being 32 degrees Fahrenheit the wonderful snowflakes will be enormous and stick to…

The top 1/3 of a particular mountain in Yellowstone contains a large population of white bark pine trees and about twenty grizzly bears. Over about twenty years, average temperatures get significantly warmer due to pollution and climate change. As modeled by the diagram, warmer temperatures lead to an increase in the population of white bark pine infesting beetles. An increase in the beetles overwhelms the defense systems of the white bark pine trees, and they are completely wiped out from the…
