In this study I observed two bananas over a 4 day period making observations each day at 3:00 pm. My first observation I used as a baseline to guide my observations. I put one banana in the fridge and the other on my desk. The temperature of each area remained constant over this period of time. I measured the color, the firmness, and the amount of brown spots on each banana. To describe firmness, I used a chart that I created that measures firm to mushy. The scale went from one to five where one…

Bluestone, however, is a vague term that has different meanings in different places. In the United States, the terms bluestone and bluestone slate typically refer to two different types of stone. One, known as Pennsylvania bluestone, is a type of sandstone taken from quarries in New York and Pennsylvania. The other, known as Shenandoah bluestone, is a limestone found in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. In Australia and other countries, bluestone refers to a type of Basalt or slate. Fortunately,…

Fracking is a big controversial topic that has been argued for years because of the effects it can have on the environment. Fracking has been used since the 1940s to get natural gas from rocks such as limestone and sandstone. At first, the workers started to use small explosions to get the natural gas from the dead organisms in the stone. The oil and gas companies later changed by using water pressure which is known as hydraulic fracking. This sounds good but fracking can have…

Native Americans also tell a different version of their own story of how the Dells formed. Long ago their fathers lived far away and were starving. They prayed for guidance in the grotto of the Green Dragon and sent the dragon on a journey to find a solution. The Green Dragon arrived in the Land of Ice and Snow where he could find no food. His heart was so heavy he stopped to rest, and the beating of his heart was so loud that it carved grooves in the earth where he lay. The Green Dragon crept…

Bonampak is an archeological site measuring 2.4 square kilometers and located in the eastern lowlands of Chiapas, Mexico. It is near the Usumacinta River and about 30 kilometers north from the larger site of Yaxchilan, under which Bonampak may have been a dependency. The site dates to about AD 790 and is home to one of the few extant and complete murals of the Maya Classic Period. Bonampak’s architecture, art, iconography, and epigraphy are an important resource for understanding Maya society in…

The following is a research proposal to explore the possibilities that the Tyrannosaurus rex was a migratory animal. Similar to how trees form annual growth rings- bones also have yearly indicators of growth. By comparing the oxygen isotope levels of each year indicator of the bone with isotopes of the surrounding areas we can see where the Tyrannosaurus rex may have traveled to throughout its life cycle. Assuming the oxygen isotope levels can be calculated for the areas of Interest, the bulk of…

The second most abundant element in the Earth’s crust other than oxygen is silicon which if by mass is around 25.7g or 23%. However in nature, silicon never exist as a free or pure element but instead it mostly combines with the most abundant element in the Earth’s crust, oxygen, hence producing silica (SiO₂) or silicate minerals. The most prominent charge of Si in the crust is +4 rather than +2 which involve a silicon atom to bond in a tetrahedral manner with 4 other oxygen atoms giving rise to…

from around 2000 BCE, we see a picture of the family of four in a celebration where the father and son are in a moment of intimacy embracing each other. As I examine Funerary Stele of Amenemhat, I see the story of family bonding. The painting on sandstone depicts the father and son, Antef, sitting on a bed embracing each other. Behind the son is the wife seated on the same bed with her hands on her son. Next to the bed is a table covered with food offerings.…
