The Naked Sun

Carlissa Jones Mrs. Moscona Science Fair Abstract 2 February 2018 Particles in the Mist In this project, there was a cloud chamber built to see radioactive decay particles with a radioactive source. In this project an ionizing smoke detector is being used as the radioactive source. The difference between an ionizing smoke detector and one that is not is that they tend to respond 30-90secs faster to fast flame fires than photoelectric fire alarms. . A cloud chamber is a sealed environment…

The Secrets The sun hung low in the sky as night began to dawn on the small village. A girl named Alice was finishing her assigned chores after the rest of the staff had gone to bed. Alice had recently been promoted to head maid in the manor where she had worked for her entire life. Long shadows were cast in the laundry as Alice began to finally make her way down to her quarters as per her usual mundane routine. As always the moment she fell upon her bed after the long day, her eyelids went…

The Daybreak was equal parts bar and diner, although the only patrons drinking at three in the afternoon were those left over from the night before. The building was probably a good size back in its day, but, after years passed and the townspeople moved away, the eatery felt emptier than a ghost town. Midday sunlight poured past the pine trees and warmed the bar stools through the windows, however, that was no excuse for the oscillating fan to be parked beside me on a late February day. I…

and quickly put the hiking bad onto my bag so the current wouldn’t make it drift away, but since I used all my energy on getting the bag, I didn't have any to get out of the stream. My head started to slowly sink into the waters, and the rays of the sun seemed dim from beneath the briny cold water that suppressed me. My head began to throb and my lungs started to scream for a small breath of the luscious air as I struggled to bring my head above the surface. Despite the many attempts to get a…

October 18, 2014. The morning light trickled down through the dense canopy of trees that encircled the cemetery as I walked through the grassfield in front of the entrance. Only a few clouds blotched the otherwise flawless sky-blue. Passing the entrance that read “Los Angeles National Cemetery”, two signs stood in front of me: one with a list of floral regulations, the other welcoming visitors, while warning them of prohibited activities. Behind it, a black signpost read: “Blue Star Memorial, A…

Stellar Nucleosynthesis - The Relationship Between Chemistry & Astronomy The elements that make up Earth originated in the stars through a process called stellar nucleosynthesis. This paper will focus on how the elements impact the Earth, it will provide an in-depth look into how the Earth would be different without certain elements, their chemical makeup, and their location on the periodic table. This paper will focus on the two elements carbon and hydrogen specifically. Earth contains…

be chosen first at the next strawberry picking and going on to greater and grander things. I've seen strawberries thrive under the sun creating large and curvy strawberries, those are the ones usually picked first. I’ve also seen strawberries that have been deprived of sunlight, shriveling up, drying out, becoming half the size of the other strawberries. As the sun rises each morning there is a small rustling sound, that only the sharpest of ears can decipher, as the strawberries adjust their…

The Sun is a massive, white ball of gas that fuels the solar system. Without it, life wouldn’t be able to survive on earth. It has lived for billions of years, providing energy and light. Nothing can live without it. The Sun, which is also called Sol, is estimated to be 4.6 billion years old with up to five billion years left in its life. It is currently in its yellow dwarf phase of life. It is located in the Milky Way galaxy in a spiral arm known as the Orion Arm. The Sun orbits the center of…

The universe is extremely vast and only four percent of all of space has been explored, so why not keep funding space programs. Space programs have been around for fifty years and there is no need to stop. The exploration of space so far has made incredible breakthroughs in science and technology. Also, even the thought of being in space amazes millions. The increase of government spending on space programs will help discover the unknown, expand technology, and provide a better future for…
