...The Fruit Battery March 19, 2007 7th grade Abstract My objective was to determine which fruit would make the battery for a clock. Procedure 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Gather all things needed for experiment. Wash hands for safety. Take the clock module and place fruit in the two holders. Remove plastic coatings at the end of all wires with scissors. Take the black cable and tie one end to the Zinc metal contact. 6. Take the blue cable and tie one end to the Zinc metal contact and the other end of the Copper metal contact. 7. 8. 9. Take the red cable and tie one end to the Copper metal contact. Insert the metal contacts to the fruit. Attach the black and red cable to the spring contacts. 10. Watch fruit generate energy to power the clock. 11. Adjust the time on the clock. 12. Set the date. 13. Set the month. 14. Set the day of the week. 15. Set the stopwatch. Results According to my experiments, the tomato was the best battery for a clock. The tomato has been used for a week and is still going. The tomato has the most acid. The lemon did not work at all. The apple lasted 1 day. The orange lasted 3 days. Conclusion My hypothesis was that the lemon and the orange will produce electricity for the longest period of time. The tests went well. The only problem that was encountered was the lemons not working.

...Potato Powered Clock Theory: Potato as a Battery Hypothesis: Potatoes have starch in them which is a natural sugar that can be broken down naturally for a release of energy and generate enough power to run a digital clock. Problem Statement: Can ordinary potatoes power a digital clock for more than 24 hours? Variables: * Independent Variable – Potato * Dependent Variables – Clock, connection wires, copper and zinc plates Materials Needed: * Digital Clock with 2 Wires * 6.25” Connecting Wire * Transparent Tape * 2 4” Copper Strips * 2 4” Zinc Strips * 2 Potatoes (Oranges worked too) Background: How it works * A potato can be used as a battery by using strips of zinc and copper in the acidic juice of the potato to provide power to a digital clock. * With the zinc strip, the natural acid in the potato dissolves the zinc freeing electrons. * The copper wire uses the electrons that the zinc wire frees. * To obtain enough electrical current to power the clock, two potatoes must be used and they must be connected in a head-to-tail series. Steps: 1. Put potatoes into containers to stabilize them. 2. Insert Zinc strip from the clock into the left potato. 3. Insert Copper end of the loose strip into the same potato, 2 cm apart and parallel to the Zinc strip. 4. Insert Zinc end of the loose strip into the right potato. 5. Insert Copper strip from the clock into the same potato, 2 cm apart and parallel...

This idea turned out to be realty and became the main goal of our Investigatory Project. B. Problems Finding an item that is easy to obtain and at the same time affordable, simple and earth- friendly is not an easy task. After a lot of thought, our group decided to use one of the objects that is almost always present in our daily lives: fruits and vegetables. Will these everyday materials such as apples, bananas, oranges, lemons and potatoes conduct electricity? Well, let’s see about that. C. Hypothesis A circuit is made up of a path, a source and a load. We believe that we should connect them with a (+) and a (-) wire so that the flow will be even with no reverse polarity. The load we thought of using was a battery- operated clock, one of the most common materials found in almost everyone’s household. We believe that it would work because the organic materials we will use have electrolytes that flow freely on its own. Thus, it will flow into conductors to make a decent circuit. Our thoughts on which will be the best conductor were different. Some said that the lemon is the best conductor due to its acidity. Some say it’s the banana due to its efficiency. Yet some also say it’s the orange due to its fame as a fruit. D. Significance of the Study Our main reason for making this...

...The final seconds of the clock began to tick away. The Idaho Girls Basketball State Championship was disappearing faster than it came. A screeching buzz signaled the end of the game. of the final buzzer sounded. That was it. Borah and Boise had reached the pinnacle of high school basketball, but their seasons, contrary to a movie-like moment, now ended in a very dreary, anticlimactic fashion. The orange glowing lights on the display hanging in the center of the gym indicated the meager final score: seventeen to seven (Lycklama). After a full thirty-two minutes of play, the two teams from this factual recount managed only twenty-four combined points (Lycklama). This extreme instance in history reveals a prominent issue regarding the rules of Idaho high school basketball. The lack of a shot clock in high school causes problems that would otherwise be solved...

East is usually the direction associated with the “beginnings,” and birth, because the sunrises in the east; west (the direction of the sunset) is associated with the endings, and death. ( “Shmoop”). Each room was a different color. The first one was blue ending with the seventh room which was black. These colors symbolize the stages of life from birth to death. “The blue room, which is furthest to the east, represents birth. The Johnson 2 color suggests the "unknown" from which a human being comes into the world. The next room is purple, a combination of blue (birth) and red (associated with life, intensity) suggests the beginnings of growth. Green, the next color, suggests the "spring" of life (youth), orange the summer and...

...in the way one observes the work. Second Time Painting is a work of art that invites a constant change of focus and an examination of detail. Created in 1961, Second Time Painting is a combine painting created with paper, fabric and oil paints on a canvas that is approximately 65.75 x 42 inches large. Rauschenberg uses his bricolage style of working where he takes objects from his daily environment, that have non-art identities and uses a collage technique to bring them together in a work of art, erasing the disparity between art and life. Rauschenberg's collages made plenty of surrealist disassociate juxtapositions. He tops Second Time Painting with a classic surrealist symbol - a disabled clock, which is positioned upside down over a slashed open pair of shorts, a sweatshirt, and a brash array of paint strokes. This painting is part of a series in which the notion of time, found in the title, is the origin of its conception. The first of the three artworks of the series, First Time painting, Second Time painting and Third Time painting, was created during the performance “Homage to David Tudor” that took place at the American Embassy theatre in Paris in 1961.[1] The painting was set up with its back to the audience so no one could see it being created. Viewers were deprived of observation; however, a microphone was attached to the painting so they could hear the amplified sounds of the artist’s brushstrokes and hammer blows. An alarm clock, which was stuck to the painting...

...regardless of status, wealth or power can stay the passing of time and the inevitable conclusion of life itself, death. Like many of Poe’s works, the number of characters in “Masque of the Red Death” is limited; however they all work to reveal the theme. Only three characters, Prince Prospero, the Thousand Friends and the Masked Figure are mentioned. The central figure of the story is Prince Prospero. The author describes him as “happy and dauntless and sagacious” (Poe, 386). His name is used to infer royalty, wealth and happiness, and suggests that the prince is untroubled by the plague and is confident of his survival and the survival of his one thousand friends. Prospero has been described by scholars as a “feelingless ruling prince” (Wheat, 51). This is due to his apparent lack of concern for the people of his land: “The external world could take care of itself” (Poe, 386). Prospero is a flat character as he remains confident in his survival up to the end. The Thousand Friends are not well developed and can be considered stock characters. The reader is led to believe that they are simply followers of the prince, although “there are some who would have thought him mad” (Poe, 388). It has also been suggested that they are simply figments of an insane man’s imagination (Wheat, 54). When they pause with dread every time the clock strikes a...

...Many of Picasso’s works were influenced by his father who was also a painter. His works were also influenced. By the death of his close friend, Carlos Casagenmas, and also for the Spanish Civil War. He was influenced by his father because his father was the one who taught him to draw and paint. Also, his close friend, Carlos Casagenmas, influenced his works because after he died Picasso felt depressed and lonely, so he painted scenes of poverty, isolation and anguish. He also painted poor people, beggars, prostitutes, drunks and gaunt people. Therefore, Picasso was influenced by many people and...

...Company (YRC), for over 17 years. YRC Freight is a subsidiary of YRC Worldwide Inc., a Fortune 500 company and one of the internationally. With headquarters in Overland Park, Kan., YRC Worldwide employs 55,000 people. I have witnessed many company changes. Yellow Freight was established in 1924. One of the most remarkable displays of our company is our 18 wheelers that are painted in a bright orange color. In the beginning CEO Harrell hired a chemist to find out what was the safest color on the highways of America. The results of the research led to swamp holly orange; was not only the safest, but the most visible from the greatest distance. On Feb. 1, 2012 YRC took another significant successful step, becoming one of the largest operating freight companies. Much more than a new name and logo, this rebranding signals our intent to focus on our core business, helping less-than-truckload shippers throughout North America increase the dependability and reliability of their supply chains. Today, we remain true to our founders' early dedication to safety and service. Their hard work and determination was the foundation for our success and has contributed to the success of thousands of customers. YRC has continue to prosper from the start. There is no surprise, given the founders' approach. For example, the founder recognized that providers who kept their commitments could also keep their customers and get new ones. If no trucks were available for a rush pickup, he'd rent a...

...characters that represent emotions, living in the Headquarters, the control center in Riley’s mind. Inside Headquarters, Riley’s brain has 5 tiny characters in her mind: sadness, joy, fear, anger, and disgust; Joy is being the leading one or the boss (Inside Out, DVD). All 5 characters represent Riley’s emotions that take an important role in her life. “Inside Out is about how five emotions — personified as the characters Anger, Disgust, Fear, Sadness and Joy — grapple for control of the mind of an 11-year-old girl named Riley during the tumult of a move from Minnesota to San Francisco.”(Keltner and Ekman, Web), Inside Out exposes how children and adults' minds function efficiently throughout life. Basically, this film is teaching us how our mind works whenever a critical obstacle in our lives comes out to the light. Darkness and the lack of color represent fear and emotional decays during Riley’s life. For example, The first day at school was not as expected and she felt miserable introducing herself (Inside Out, DVD). She felt she was in a black corner with no end. The color black represents “fear, evil, unhappiness, depth, death, detachment” (Rohrer, Web). She remembered how perfect her life back in Minnesota and felt heartbroken. Inside Riley’s mind, Joy and Sadness go onto a journey trying to get back to the headquarters due to the fact they were sucked up by a tube that will conduct the memories to 5 islands which are Riley’s personalities. Each personality is disappearing one by...

...It's a goliath of a test and is usually taken in a room packed to the brim with a bunch of students. Some kids look relaxed and focused, while others are steadily looking at the clock and guessing on all the answers. Regardless of who takes this test, it is an inaccurate measurement of how much a student knows. It does not take into consideration an abstract field, like art, that someone could be really good at. Also, some students have test anxiety, and this four hour test only adds to that. It could also hinder them from unlocking their full potential. That and other factors like not having enough money to pay for ACT practice and help can further frustrate students on their scores. These reasons only prove that this standardized test should be abolished to make it a more equal and reliable source to determine a student's...
