The Black Ice Disaster “137 and back-up unit to central,” called the dispatcher. “Go ahead central,” I reluctantly relied. Oh no, this cannot be good I thought to myself. Not at this time of the morning. “137 and back-up unit respond to a 10-82 in progress at 1234 River Road.” “10-4 central, I am en route from Bellefield Road.” I had just pulled into my driveway from working and long and cold night shift. I was extremely tired and I just wanted to go to bed. I was planning to sit there in my…
Work Sampler # 4 – Icebreaker/Energizer For the icebreaker the facilitators will be playing Jeopardy; each topic has five questions with five different point levels ranging from 100 to 500. For each topic, there will be a change of text to different questions and an increase of difficulty. The final question will be the will be the most difficult question to challenge the group players. The facilitators have created a power point file with the appropriate questions for the Educational group; all…
Geoscientist have recently brought an end to a once mind boggling mystery of how large lakes that sit above the Greenland ice sheet drain billions of gallons of water in hours! The Greenland ice sheet extends about 656,000 miles covering most of the island. As ice melts it creates huge lake but these massive lakes are soon empty of water; where does it go? “In 2006, Greenland's North Lake, a 2.2 square-mile (5.6 square kilometers) supraglacial meltwater lake, drained almost 12 billion gallons…
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…
constant and maintaining her balance when completing drills and in game situations. She does an adequate job of using her skates to dig into the ice to create friction to better…
The best day that happened in school was when the whole 8th grade went ice skating. This was the first trip that we were going to have for the 8th grade year. On this day, I was really excited to go ice skating but i was worried at the same time. We were waiting for the bus to come and then when it did come my friends and I sat in the back and we told jokes, some of us were on social media and the rest of us listened to music. When we arrived to the place, they took us upstairs so we…
to physics is Ice Hockey. I have been playing ice hockey since I was 11 years old, it's a fun sport to play. The article that explains how physics play a role in hockey. In this paper, I will be talking about skating, hockey stick, slapshot, and hockey puck. While a hockey player skate pushes off with his rear leg, a perpendicular energy is exerted on the skate by the ice. The factor of the force that point onward is what thrusts the player forward. At the same time, his other skate is either…
activity for the entire family. Ice skating is a terrific way to get much-needed exercise in the winter when it's too cold to play outside. Whether you're an adult skating after a long absense or lacing up skates on your children for the first time, there are ways you can avoid injury on the ice. When it's your first time skating, you should choose figure skates over hockey skates. The blades on figure skates are longer and provide more stability. Hockey skates have a shorter blade that's…
P.M., unless there is rain or weather below 20 ° F, for less than $10, guests are allowed to have two-hour sessions to skate at the rink. The skating rink is located on the National Mall at 7th St. and Constitution Ave. NW. The National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden Ice Rink also offers lessons that are taught by Emme Porter and Bruce Porter, who have taught choreography, ice dancing, figure skating, and hockey for more than 25 years. There are 5 different classes available. Snowplow Sam is…
Life My first pair of skates were pieces of plastic with straps that went over the feet. They were called bobsled skates. They also had two pieces of steel on each side of the skate, like on the bottom of a normal skates. I remember the look on my dad’s face when he put my skates on me for the first time; he was smiling. As I walked out to the ice rink, I spotted a chair. It was supposed to help you learn how to skate, and that’s exactly what I thought. I went onto the ice and crawled to the…
