Introductory physics

When I was a child my parents would always take me to the Science Museum near my home once a week. Going to the science museum and always seeing the different exhibits such as the planetarium and the environmental park peaked my interest in science as a kid. I also remember early in elementary school making a whirlpool by taking two 2 liter bottles and filling one of them with food colored water and then taping them together to show the whirlpool. That childish fascination has not left me but…

Dark matter and dark energy are perhaps the biggest mysteries in the universe. Dark matter makes up 26% of the universe, dark energy makes up 69% of the universe, and ‘normal’ matter- everything visually observed in the universe- makes up only 5% of the universe. Dark matter and energy are thought to be explanations for various phenomena that have been observed in deep space. Dark matter is matter that cannot be detected by its absorption or emission of electromagnetic radiation. Scientists…

In order to be a successful welder I will need a variety of training and education. After I graduate high school I want to go to WATC for the welding program so I can start my career as a welder. Math is a big part of welding you have to be good at math to be able to read blue prints. There is a lot of math in welding such as measurement and temperature and if you mess it up you are going to lose money. Also you have to be good with your hand to be a welder. For example, Career Cruising Data…

I greatly enjoy science, particularly biology and environmental science since I was little. I remembered when I did my first science experiment in elementary school. The data collection of the different environment that the monarch butterfly evolution pace was the most exciting moment of my life. I got to see a type of species go from a little caterpillar to a full grown butterfly, which drew me into science. After that experience, I started to questions why, why does this butterfly change into…

I became involved with the math club at Spaulding after a friend in my home room suggested I come to a meeting after school. After attending, I realized math club might have been a somewhat misleading name. While we certainly did some math, it wasn’t at all like the math I would do in class. Math club was more focused on the competitive aspect of math. We would do problems to prepare for various competitions in the state. Joining the club certainly improved my mathematical abilities. In large…

In the insignificant existence of humanity, those who possess the scientific brilliance to discover new data as well as the brave audacity to challenge previous theories bring us closer to a true contemplation of the universe. Similarly, throughout the work of scientists, noticeably Nicholas Copernicus and Galilei Galileo, the human understanding of the universe grew from an arrogant system that revolves around Earth into the eloquent heliocentric system we now know to be true today. The…

gravity where the myth is an apple hit him on the head making him wonder about gravity. He also made many new laws of motion that we still use today. And finally, he made the book Principia It was said to be the “the single most influential book on physics and possibly all of science.” So Sir Isaac Newton was very important to the scientific revolution of the 17th century, and these are the reasons why he changed the world. Between 1665 - 1667 Newton came home from college because it was closed…

First of all, let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am a science enthusiast. I love doing all the cool experiments and learning about the planets and Earth. I have been homeschooling this year and it is not very fun. I usually can’t do any of the science experiments because we don’t have all the right materials, which is very disappointing since my science lesson is my favorite part of the day. I’ve loved reading since I was a little girl and I would always choose books that would teach…

From an early age, I was good at solving puzzles and finding patterns. My interest in this program makes sense, since figuring out how things work are a huge part of the curriculum. I also like knowing how things are made and I like knowing how things work. I have always liked technology, and have always wanted to be a part of making and developing it. Since I like doing these things, the Science and Engineering Learning Center is where I would like to spend the next four years of my life. For…

The song Hot N Cold is about the uncertainty of how to stay in a stable relationship. Many people do not know what they want in life especially in a romantic relationship. There are two major types of people when it comes to a romantic relationship: a person who knows exactly what they want and will out every effort to make things work. Then we have those who do not know what they want but they stay because they don't want to feel alone. When you have both personalities come together you have a…
