conversely with high school and middle school aged children. Another limitation we faced was the ability to control for the face-to-face conversation. Subjects were given the listed topics to guide discussion but it is difficult to control for subject matter and keeping the confederates character or aura the same throughout each discussion. There certainly could have been some self-reporting bias involved as well with each questionnaire. Finally, the subjects own thoughts on social media…

Rebecca McKenney Frontiers of Astronomy Mrs. Alburg 26 April 2017 Our Galactic Universe 1. Galaxies can be as large as a few thousand to several hundreds of thousands of light years across. 2. Astronomers, at the time this was released, believe that there are over a hundred billion galaxies in the universe. 3. It is estimated that a light year is 5.88 trillion miles. 4. Galaxies come in three different main type shapes. There are spiral, elliptical, and irregular. 5. Spiral galaxies…

The soil erodibility factor (K), a measure of the susceptibility of soil to erosion under standard conditions, is a function of the percentage of silt and coarse sand, the soil structure, the permeability of the soil, and the percentage of organic matter. Wischmeier et al. (1971) defined the soil erodibility factor mathematically and Foster et al. (1996) converted the equation into the following SI unit equation: The soil erodibility factor (K) is determined for each soil sample based on…

used a method different than most star gazers of the time. He mapped out the stars in relation to each other, instead of the traditional grid method used at the time (Smith 2013). He started out by studying the Society papers on natural history and matter theory, after he joined the Bath Philosophical Society in 1780. He also reached out to the experts of the time Joseph Priestley and John Mitchell on proper construction of astronomical telescopes. After he did his research, he started his…

I leave this quarter more aware of my weaknesses than I started. However, I believe that I am also more prepared to address them on a personal level than I was three months ago. I continue to lack follow-through. My desk is littered with sticky notes and unfinished drafts. I believe that the solution to this is to carve a space in my day, every day, for writing creative work. I have made plans to adjust my schedule to address this, and while it will not go into effect until fall quarter, I am…

Each individual, whether they know about it or not, has this slot in the back of their conscience filled with this dark matter that, at any given moment, can be triggered and take over the more sensible parts of the brain. It is not a matter of possession. This darkness is inside of us all from the day we are born, and it only grows stronger the older we are. It is only a matter of whether a person is pushed far enough for it to be seen. People may go their whole life without this side of them…

Energy is a mysterious and everlasting component which exists within the universe; it is the existential source of power which human beings have harnessed through technology in order to progress and evolve. It is fair to note that energy is quintessential to every action and reaction occurring in the universe at all times. Furthermore, the law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed but can be transferred between different forms and states and even between…

There are two theories about what happened next. The first theory is that small particles slowly team up and gradually form stars, star clusters, and eventually galaxies. The second theory states that the universe first organize as immense clumps of matter that later subdivided into galaxies. Milky Way The most known galaxy is the Milky Way which is our home galaxy. The name “Milky Way” comes from the strip of light that is seen on very dark nights. It is part of a group of about 50 galaxies…

an experience’ (Dewey, 1980, 290) and therefore the student’s learning is likely to stay more prominently in their minds. The artistic choices of a Theatre in Education project are also extremely important. The way the company presents the subject matter can influence how engaged the audience are. The type of actors they employ, their personalities, the geographical location of the performance, the décor within the performance environment, etcetera, all impact upon the student’s experience and…

accurate description to how the universe originated without adding assumptions or as Turok likes to say, “ingredients”. The main component that has had countless scientists stumped is how to make a theory that explains singularity, a point in which all matter and energy in the universe was compressed…
