good form of measure. There are things that are left out of the gross domestic product measure, such as free time, or leisure time. If we give into the pressure to only work four days a week, that extra day off will have a negative effect on the gross domestic product number. This is because the gross domestic product is the total of output. So if there is a country with overworked and sick people but has a high gross domestic product it would mean that it is a poor well-being measure.…

I believe that every individual has their own staircase to literacy; my first step was learning how to talk, and my last step is still to be determined. You see, so far I have climbed nearly 16 years up this staircase and have encountered multiple variations of ideas and suggestions about literacy. Luckily, my mentors have never failed me and have always done whatever it takes to get me to the next step. My most recent mentor was my twelfth grade English teacher. In the beginning of the year she…

A biologists is a scientist who studies living organisms. A historian of science is the study of the development of science and scientific knowledge. Gould…

Booker T. Washington once conveyed, “I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has had to overcome while trying to succeed” (BrainyQuote, 2001). There are various ways and numerous extents to which success can be determined. This difference of opinion could be due perhaps to the diversities of cultures and ethnicities or a simple matter of personal perspective. Many Americans today judge their success…

He spent 2 weeks in the NICU, where he was diagnosed with several heart defects and a broken femur that happened during his delivery – C.A.F. I was at work on break when C called me with the news.

To What Extent do IQ Tests Effectively Measure Intelligence? Introduction Albert Einstein, a famous theoretical physicist, once said that “the true sign of intelligence is not knowledge, but imagination.” While scholastic aptitude can play a large role in determining one’s intelligence, creativity is also a major factor. IQ tests, or intelligence quotient tests, are supposed to measure intelligence, but due to their ability to measure creativity, their accuracy is highly debated. According to…

While the water is boiling, measure the mass of your metal object, marking off your answer to one more decimal place than what the scale marks off. Once the water is boiling, drop the metal into the water, leaving it in for about five minutes to allow it to reach the temperature of the water (100.0 °C) Place one Styrofoam cup into the other. This will be your calorimeter. Measure the mass of the calorimeter. Fill about ¾ full with room temperature water, then measure the mass again,…
