of the wavelength. As it was impossible to measure the true standard curve, the data points and subsequent graphs demonstrated the qualitative information collected and the trend of these values. The calibration curve closely resembled a straight line, with only minimal deviations in either direction. This indicated that the solutions examined and the data attained had a low percentage of error and high accuracy. As the concentration of the cobalt (II) solution decreased, the absorbance also…

poem about being ungrateful for things done everyday. Composed of three main sections, not by stanzas but by line breaks. In the first section, the speaker describes how his father rose early during his childhood, even on Sundays, to do chores. In the second section, the speaker describes how he got up later after his father was already done with all the work. In the final two lines, the speaker explains his regret for failing to understand his father’s selfless efforts. Through the use of…

According to the first line in stanza three, “She strikes and strikes the shrilly circling boy till the stick breaks in her hand.” The woman must be very angry if she beats the boy so hard that the stick she uses breaks. The speaker uses a metaphor to describe this image by saying…

Edgar Hoover didn’t like…

look up to the sky and see millions of stars, and I wonder to myself. What makes them light up so bright, and what makes them a star? What does it take to create a star; they just don’t pop out and shine bright. I want to know the process, and how long it takes for a star to be born. I am also curious to know if the star can die. I plan on finding the answer. I believe that they are created by gases and that they die when they use up all of their gases. Stars have had an impact in our society…

There are many theories for how life started on earth. After reading many theories, I found the Lighting and Panspermia theory the most interesting. These two theories made the most sense to me even though they don’t have much in common. The Lighting theory is the idea of chemicals from earth’s early atmosphere working together with chemicals and lighting from erupting volcanoes in order to create the first life on earth. The second theory is the Panspermia theory, the idea that earth’s first…

Astronomy in Yosemite The Sun The sun is a star located at the center of the universe, and without it, there would be no life on Earth. It is the most important source of energy for humans as it provides us light, heat, and more. It can reach surface temperatures of about 5,276 degrees Celsius, and 10,340 degrees Fahrenheit. The composition of the Sun changes slowly as hydrogen is converted into helium in its core; however, it is currently made up of around 70% hydrogen, 28% helium, and less…

Nuclear Fusion and the Remains of a Dead Star Throughout the history of Earth, multicellular organisms rely on one thing, the sun. And throughout the observable universe, there are million of stars out there just like our sun. These stars could be different however, with either more mass, volume, heat, etc. In our high school career, we learn a lot about astronomy, such as the order of the planets in our solar system. We also learn about gravity, rotation of planets, and how long it takes…

beings can feel true joy without first experiencing sadness with his use of stars throughout his poetry to signify a light in the dark. Neruda uses a star motif to indicate a positive feeling or outlook surrounded by the harsh darkness of negativity. Neruda suggests that there can only be light if there is also darkness and the emotional highs and lows in life must ultimately balance out. In his poems, Neruda uses the motif of stars to portray positive emotions in contrast to the negative…

land on the moon. This shows that if we had not done those Apollo missions, we might of still have not landed on the moon and still be trying to explore space from Earth. Another example is, the hubble space telescope takes pictures every day of, stars, planets, and even, black holes. This shows that eventually we will get a picture of a planet that we can colonize on. My third example is, satellites have helped us find new discoveries of Earth and they are also used for electronic maps. This…
