triple loop, the feeling of the ghost cold air pushing against my face as I soar across the ice. The best of all though is the feeling of being on the open ice with no one else on it but you and the judges staring at you and an arena full of people chanting your name and screaming. That is what I thought my life was going to be like, but boy was I wrong, although that is exactly my life on the ice. My life on the ice is probably the only thing I really truly love with all my heart. That and my…

Observations In step one an ice bath was prepared. Then in step two, a pipette was used to measure 1 mL of concentrated nitric acid into a 10 mL graduated cylinder. The concentrated nitric acid was placed into a reaction tube and clamped in the water bath. In step four, 1 mL of concentrated sulfuric acid was added slowly to the traction tube with nitric acid. Then the mixture was left to sit in the ice water bath for at least five minutes. A small plastic bag was filled with ice and a towel was…

Dry Ice Properties Dry ice is a translucent white solid that is also odourless, non-toxic, non-flammable and slightly acidic substance (Department of Biology, 2013). Dry ice is the solid phase of carbon dioxide gas with the chemical formula of CO₂. It consists of two oxygen atoms bonding with one carbon atom. Dry ice has a low melting point of -79°C and it is also denser than air therefore when it sublimates to CO₂, it will replace O₂ in the environment and sink to low areas. Dry ice is a…

front of your eyes is a perfectly smooth sheet of ice with such a beautiful glossy finish to it. It's about game time. What does that mean? It means the calm before the storm hits. As the puck drops, the storm hits. Fans go crazy and…

Ice and how its seen Ice, frozen water that is very brittle. That is the definition of ice. While it may have one definition it can be interpreted in many different ways around the world. Depending on who you're speaking to they might interpret ice as cold and unforgiving. However, another person might say that ice is the breath of god. The symbolic meaning of ice can be seen in literature with Game of Thrones, Film with Futurama and Batman, art with ice sculptures, religion with…

“Apply all of your corrections, think about everything we have practiced, and have fun! Put your minds to what it is you want to accomplish.” These were the words of my synchronized skating coach before we took to the ice at Nationals. In February 2014, my team and I competed at the U.S. Synchronized Skating Championships in Colorado Springs, Colorado. We had a great season leading up to this point, medaling at all but one competition and only missing that one by about half a point. This was…

Personal Narrative When I was five years old, my family and I went on a road trip to California. this was when I lived in Kansas, so I was really excited to visit family I never met there. My uncle had a skateboard collection and my mom was riding around on a longboard. She asked me if I wanted to learn how to skate. I said yes. That was the best choice I ever made. Ever since then I have been fascinated with skating and learning new tricks. My brothers and I can all skate well, although my…

Skating is something I really hate doing. It is dumb, only thing that would make your butt hurt if you fall and bruise it. When I was a little girl, my dad use to always take my siblings and I skating every Friday. I had a blast. I could do everything, skate backwards, I could dance while skating. One day, it was so packed because of $2 Fridays. I was skating and these teenage girls pushed me on the ground, made me bend my wrist back. I had to to be rushed to the Emergency room, it was not so…

my friend Michael and I were going to the Ann Arbor Ice Rink. Michael had short brown hair combed to the left. Michael had been wanting to learn how to skate for a long time, so today was the day I was going to teach him. ¨Are you ready to learn how to skate¨ ¨I am worried that I will fall and break something¨. ¨Don´t worry you will be fine¨”. ¨Even if you do fall, you will not break anything, hopefully¨. ¨What¨! We got to the ice rink. Michael and I put on our skates and went into…
