You feel the cold from the faded brass handrail and walk up the stairs to the buzzer with a list of all the…

According to the data table, the resilience of observation #2 is greater than observation #1 because the more borax solution in the slime, the more viscosity it has. By Newton’s discovery, the greater the viscosity, the harder and solidified the slime will be which all the bonds between the white glue and borate ions are tightly hold together. Base on the data provided above, the slime in observation#1 can be stretched longer than the slime in observation #2 because the #1 slime has less borax…

When engaging in a dialogue about bottled water, it is vital to recognize both sides of the argument to generate progress and make concessions that identify its positive and negative effects. However, it is unquestionable that the negative effects of bottled water exceed its positive effects, because its negative effects on human health and the environment supersedes all the positive effects it has such as its convenience for consumers.

Then imagine the same body of land with plastic everywhere blocking the rolling hills, blocking the blazing grass, and blocking the beautiful sun. This era of today is affecting our world, tearing our world apart. I take the position that plastic water bottles should be banned from the pollution on the floor, killing our animals, and having us end in the hospital. My first reason why plastic should be banned is…
