Friona has many unique events that distinguish us from the many other bijou towns all around it. There’s the cheeseburger festival, which, being the “cheeseburger capital of the Texas”, is a must. They have Maize Days to celebrate their community’s people and businesses. And then there’s Friona High School’s own Chieftain Challenge that, like its name states, challenges its students. The Chieftain Challenge began with a couple of students trying to come up with a good idea for their Family,…

Have you ever eaten a pickle?� Did you know you were actually eating a cucumber?� Pickles are cucumbers that have endured a lengthy pickling process.� Although some pickling requires several weeks of soaking, it's a fairly simple process you can do at home.� Let's learn how to create your own pickles. To make quick, sweet pickles, gather all of the necessary ingredients.� First, you'll need eight pounds of three- to four-inch pickling cucumbers.� Next, measure out 1/3 cup of canning or pickling…

Method: In this experiment each group received 2 chicken eggs whose shells have been dissolved off. This gave us a differentially permeable membrane so that we can observe osmosis and what happens when the membrane is presented with different solutions. Since we did not know the concentration of the egg, we had to assume that it equaled the concentration of the membrane. We then had the ability to determine the concentration based off the assumption and the rate of osmosis. We used 5…

There are cultures all over the world that while they have contrasting beliefs, they have a similar story of a god in an egg which creates the world and universe within. These beliefs have been transferred through generations of hymns, chants, and written records. Similar cosmogonic traditions are almost parallel in China, Tahiti, India, Africa, Finland, Greece,. According to Sir Isaac Newton, “God is able to create Particles of Matter of several Sizes and Figures, and in several Proportions to…

(or gods) to reach a heavenly state while others believe in logic. While some creation myths are very similar, others are very different. For example, one Chinese creation myth tells of their creator, Pangu, being born of a cosmic egg. Pangu stood up and split the egg in half. This created Heaven and Earth. The Iroquois’ “The World on the Turtle’s Back” and N. Scott Momaday’s…

Everyone has living codes that one prefers to live by which is unique from one person to another. These are specific values which represent an individual and potentially determine what an individual can accomplish in life. While a universal set of living codes does not exist for all individuals, it is very common to see individuals living by the same standards which each support and stand by. The unique values of an individual are the ones that make up and shape the different personalities of a…

“ that the first place winner for the 2016 Awestruck Pageant goes to Miss Ostrich!” Her eyes welled with tears as she received the mystery grand prize, a hard boiled egg. “Thank you.” Miss Ostrich cried, “Thank you all so much. It has been such a great honor to be here.” With that final statement she left, holding the hard boiled egg delicately in her…

The purpose of this experiment is to learn how to prepare albumin from egg white and to understand the basics of protein fractionation using ammonium sulfate. Ovalbumin is the major protein of egg white and is fractionated by means of ammonium sulfate precipitation. The properties of the solvent system will dissolve the protein and greatly impact solubility. In total, there are four major factors that affect protein solubility: ionic strength, pH, temperature, and dielectric constant of solvents…

Osmosis and Diffusion Egg Lab In this lab, an egg is used as a representation of an actual cell, the shell being the cell wall, and the yolk being the nucleus, which like an actual cell also expands when placed in a substance like water, and shrinks when placed in a thick substance like corn syrup. I hypothesize that water will make the egg hypotonic, which means that the cell is swollen due to an excess of water in its environment and corn syrup will make the egg hypertonic, which is the…

This past semester, I worked with Big Brothers/Big Sisters of South Niagara over the Easter weekend for their annual Easter Egg Hunt. This is a charitable event that raises funds for the organization with the help of the City of Welland as well as the Welland firefighters, both volunteer and paid. Also, with the aid of many, many volunteers, the event almost always runs as planned. I have helped at this event for the past two years with friends. Both years, my friends and I have painted faces…
