civilization. Eventually, pyramids, mummies, Cleopatra, and the Sphinx of Giza became touchstones of this flourishing culture. The Nile River was Ancient Egypt's highway. There were no semi-trucks, no Amazon Prime 1-day shipping offers. There was only water. There was also no bridges. Around 4,000 B.C., the Ancient Egyptians first lashed bundles of papyrus stalks together to make rafts. Later, craftsmen learned to build ships using local acacia wood. Some of these boats could carry cargo up to…
change in the water leads to finding the calories in food. Cheetos had about 3x the amount of calories at 1.66 calories per gram compared to marshmallows 0.57 calories per gram. With this information we know that fat gives of the more energy compared to sugar. Calories are the measure of how much energy is given off by food. A calorimeter is the device used to measure calories in food. An oatmeal can calorimeter was used for the experiment. The way it works is really simple; a glass of water…
The boardwalk in the the middle of the map is called the marsh boardwalk. In the summer the water is suitable for fishing and birdwatching, while in the winter, people love to skate on the ice and go cross-country skiing. In the summer marsh, painted turtles and bullfrogs are very common so don’t be surprised if you see several. It's hard to miss…
the heat waves, droughts, strong winds and heavy rains affecting the crop growth varies by region. Droughts in the Great Plains will stress the agriculture by the increase in temperature, less groundwater and flooding. In the Southwest the drought, water shortages, fire and floods will affect the soil decreasing the crops production. Heat waves increase and flooding will become more frequent in the Midwest reducing crops growth. In the Southeast, the heat and…
Pike fishing is a very popular form of fishing throughout not only North America, but most of the Northern Hemisphere. Pike fishing is regarded as a popular form of freshwater sport-fishing or game-fishing Familiar to both freshwater and brackish waters (saltier or more saline than freshwater, but less saline than saltwater) of the Midwestern and Great Lakes areas of the United States as well as parts of Canada and Europe, Northern Pike is an especially popular game-fish. So popular in fact,…
the world around us. Fracking and mountaintop removal has become a potentially fatal topic in multiple states. Hydraulic fracturing or Fracking is the process of drilling down into the earth before a high-pressure water mixture is directed at the rock to release the gas inside. Water, sand and 596 chemicals are injected into the rock at high pressure which allows the gas to flow out to the head of the well. Mountaintop removal mining (MTR), also known as mountaintop mining (MTM), is a form of…
fastest way to cool a soda? There are multiple factors that could effect in this equation. Would it be faster to put it in the refrigerator where the cold air would achieve the soda’s desired temperature, would ice cool it faster, or maybe an ice and water bath would do the trick? There are multiple ways to test this experiment, but only one way to find out. There are a couple different ways how cold temperatures can remove the warm air from the lukewarm soda. The first of these is conduction.…
Mouse, and watch the fireworks at the end of the night. I love Disney, so this would probably be my favorite thing to do in Los Angeles. I would also go to the beach because I love the beach. I could play in the sand and dig a big hole, play in the water, or just relax. They even have a yoga beach where all the people there are doing yoga. Lastly, I would take a hike up to the Hollywood sign so I could enjoy nature and the…
The resistance that is encountered is dependent on the body tissue that is traversed by the electrical current. Generally, tissues with high fluid electrolyte concentrations will conduct electricity the best. Bone is the most resistant tissue to electrical flow. Skin impedes electrical current, but resistance is dependent on the skin's thickness and moisture. Wet skin can reduce the contact resistance of the body. The degree of electricity-induced injury is also determined by which tissues are…
A marine biologist studies organisms found in the ocean. As a marine biologist, you conduct research on the organisms found in their home, the ocean. For example,a marine biologist may study how different species in the ocean interact with one another. A person with this career may additionally study how these marine animals have evolved over time or even conduct research on a newly found species. A marine biologist collects samples of marine animals to conduct tests to find out how these…
