...A Glass of Cold Water Everybody calls me young, beautiful, wonderful. Am I? Look at my hair, my lips, my red rosy cheeks and a pair of blinkering eyes. I remember, somebody says that I look like my mother. But that when she was young. Now, I am much lovelier than she is. I'm a mortal Venus. Oops! What time is it? I must get ready for the party! Beep-beep…!A-huh! Here they are! Yes, I'm coming! "Child, are you still there?" "Hmp! That's my mama" "Child, are you still there? Will you please get me a glass of cold water?" "Mama, I'm in a hurry!" "Please child, try to get me a glass of cold water." "Mama, please, try to get it on your own." "Please child, try to get me a glass of cold water!" At the party, I danced and danced the whole night. You see, I can't leave the party at once. I have to danced with everybody who proposed to me. At last, the party is over. I'm very tired. Very, very tired. So, I went home to tell mama what happened. "Mama, I'm home! It's very quiet. "Mama, I'm home!" Nobody answers. Where is she? I look for her in the sala, but she's not there. Where is she? A-huh! In the kitchen! I saw my mama, lying down on the floor, dead. With a glass on her hand. I remember, she tried to get it. Oh, God, just for the glass of cold water! Mama! Mama! Oh,...

After choosing the flavor that best suits your taste buds, the second step is making sure that your kitchen houses some necessary equipment for making the Kool-Aid. Find a two-quart pitcher. Plastic is nice. Walmart usually sells them pretty cheap and, they come with a nice lid too. Even though, glass pitchers allow the liquid to shine through and add nice coloration to any refrigerator shelf. Next, find a long-handled wooden spoon. They also have black ones. Either one would work. A one-cup measuring cup, a water faucet that has drinking water. We wouldn't want anyone getting sick now with pesticides. Also have white sugar, even though some people use brown sugar since it's healthier. Then you also need an ice cube tray full of ice. Since its a huge pitcher maybe, two ice trays.

...For example for biological work I can use regular glass, nitrocellulose , Corex glass or polyallomer. But depending on the speed the material that I will use, my choices vary. For example if I use glass tubes for a speed above 3.000 RMP, the glass will break. Although there some kind of tubes that can withstand f much higher speeds, such as the Corex glass that is used for speeds up to 18000 RPM, or the preparative centrifuge tubes that are made of polypropylene and can withstand up to 20.000 RPM and the Nitrocellulose tubes that are suitable for speeds up to 10.0000 RPM. In addition we have the Polyallomer tubes that are chemically inert and are slippery and can be used for precipitation...

...The better the conductor the more rapidly heat will be transferred. Conduction takes place when heat is supplied to a substance, the particles in that substance gain more energy and vibrate more. These particles then bump into neighboring particles and some of their energy is transferred to them. This process continues and energy is eventually transferred from the hotter end to the colder end of the object. * Thermal convection is transferred from hot places to cold places by convection. Convection occurs when warmer areas of gas or liquid rises to cooler areas of that gas or liquid. The cooler gas or liquid replaces the warmer areas that have risen higher. This results in a continuous circulation pattern. For example Air above the respective land and water surfaces is warmed or cooled by conduction with those surfaces. During the day, the warmer land temperature results in a warmer and therefore, less dense and lighter air mass above the coast as compared with the adjacent air mass over the surface of water. As the warmer air...

...Drink water when you first get up. Imagine walking into a dark room and looking for something. Chances are you will stumble and maybe even fall unless you turn on the light. Or consider starting your car in sub-zero temperatures and putting it into gear without waiting for the engine to warm up. Either situation can lead to problems or even disasters. r When You Need It Most By Rose Alexander The same is true of the human body. Without water to “wake up and turn on” the body each day, you may be running on empty, especially if you skip breakfast altogether. Have a glass of cool water right after you wake up in the morning to tell your body it’s time to get started. Like a gently flowing stream that pushes along debris and rocks, your circulatory system needs fluid to get rid of stubborn free radicals and residue from burned calories that were used during the night’s metabolism. Refresh your system with a drink of water. 2. Drink water before each meal. Drinking water before a meal helps you feel fuller, so you may be less likely to attack your meal like a starving person. Water helps prepare the stomach for the food that will follow, waking up taste buds on the tongue and moisturizing the stomach lining so brittle or acidic foods won’t be uncomfortable. Having a glass of water clears your mouth of dryness or leftover tastes from earlier dining, drinking, or smoking in anticipation of the food that is coming. 3. Drink water with a snack. Between meals...

...Water is a compound made out of 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen. Temperature is the degree or intensity of heat in a substance or object. Water freezes at a temperature of 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 degrees Celsius. Water has 3 states of matter. Water in liquid form is water, water in solid form is ice, and water in gas form is water vapor. Most people would think that cooler water would freeze faster than warmer water because the cooler water is closer to the freezing point, but in the experiment that will be done, we will learn if this is true. The importance of this research is to learn if the Mpemba effect is a true/valid effect. The impact of this research would tell us if the Mpemba effect is a true/valid effect and that an experiment may have a much...

...out of bed, I slam the digital clock with such impeccable force that it completely becomes inaudible. Lazily, I explore for my soft, brown reindeer socks to accommodate my cold, little toes. Twisted, erect hair, as if a night-cow licked my head, takes control of my head from a distant, glass reflection. I finally make my way toward the cold, bare bathroom. Recovered, I find myself looking into the lifeless reflection to prepare for another unstable day. To start, I set my hands to find the light switch which seems to avoid me. Light glaring into my poor, unaware pupils, I set my hands in warm-filled water. I bring my face alongside the running, sincere water. After hydration, I attempt to clear out the cow-licked hair-do; I reach for my sturdy, black comb and combat the cow’s drool! With no avail, I soon give up. I place my index finger on the power button of the high-powered, blue electric-shaver and trim the fur that guards my face from fierce colds. Next, I prime my toothbrush with invigorating, peppermint toothpaste and smoothly graze each special tooth. I then enrich my essence with refined, colorful fragrances. Widely awake, I dash toward the fridge and explore its contents. A glass of cold milk and protein bars fill me. The cocoa aroma of the breakfast bars surrounds me. I adore the refreshingly, cold liquid and chocolaty sweetness of the bars. After finishing my feast, a text from a classmate notifies me to leave for school. Soon after leaving my house, I started my...

...‘Water is essential for life’. It keeps our body hydrated, it is healthy, and helps carry oxygen to our brain (blood cell). Without water, we would all shrivel up and die. After all, our body is made up of 70%water! But there’s more to water than you think. In the next few paragraphs, you will learn more about water than you would ever want to and find some amazing facts! You all know that humans are made up of 70% water, right? Our lungs, brain, and heart all are made up of mainly water. But what about a chicken’s lung? Or a worm’s brain? Or even an elephant’ heart? It might surprise you or it might not, but chickens, worms, and elephants are all made up of 72% water! Think of how big an elephant is. More than half of that is water. That’s a lot of water! Drinking a glass of cold, pure water? Well, next time you drink a glass of water, think about this. That glass of water has been around longer than you. Water is continuously recycled and never lost. The water you drink is the same kind of water that dinosaurs used to drink! Millions and millions of years old! Of course though, water can get contaminated and then we humans have to purify it to make it fit to drink. Did you know that all foods have at least a little bit of water in them? All food has some water in it, even carrots! ANYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF! Bread has water in it! Cheese has water in it! Even eggs have some water in them! So don’t think that meeting your daily requirement of 8-10 cups of water is that hard...
