Ice crystals

each coloured ice to melt on a metal and plastic surface. I also found links to curriculum followed by finding real-world applications which linked to our experiment. The research which I carried out for the science investigation focused on heat energy which related to conduction. The investigation consisted of finding out which coloured ice cube (yellow and blue) with 1, 2 and 3 drops of colour melted faster on metal and plastic. The energy source used to identify which coloured ice cube…

In 1851, England hosted the Great Exhibition to showcase the might and power of the British Empire. It was such a special occasion that the home of the exhibition, the Crystal Palace, was designed specifically for the event (Keach 602). The Great Exhibition considered the first World’s Fair, a large event presented to the public to show items and ideas from all over the globe (“World’s Fair”). Reading about this grand event makes me wonder about the public and how in awe they must have been from…

usually found in massive forms. Igneous ,sedimentary,metamorphic quartz is most known mineral on earth. Rose quartz is opaque to translucent macro crystalline. It normally occurs in the cores of large pegmatites as solid masses of rose colored quartz crystals have poorly formed boundaries. When Adonis was wounded in combat Aphrodite rushed to his side caught herself on a thorn and blood dripped on the quartz it is a symbolism of love. It is said that Isis searches for river tumbled rose…

Predecessor to the 80’s cult classic, The Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal was legendary puppeteer Jim Henson’s first attempt at creating a fantasy motion picture filmed entirely with intricate animatronics and puppets. The film is complete with heroes, villains and the other main elements of fantastical narratives as described by Russian scholar and folklorist Vladimir Propp in his breakthrough work, Morphology of the Folktale, which states that there is a sequence of 31 functions — certain actions…

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…

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,…
