...of 8th graders to figure out what was in a mystery mixture that their teacher gave them. They looked at the physical properties, such as color, smell, size, and shape. They also looked at chemical properties such as fizz, bubbles, and the odor of different substances and the mixture to compare and contrast. The 8th graders combined different substances and added water. They took the temp, timed the reactions, and argued about their ideas until they came up with their claim. The claim they came up with is C6H8O7 (Citric Acid) and NaHCO3 (Baking Soda). According to the physical features, the group of 8th graders believe that Citric Acid and Baking Soda is in the mystery mixture because, Citric Acid has small, roundish chunks. When mixed with the powdery Baking Soda, the chunks become less clear, and more snow coloured. When mixed with Baking Soda, and 10 drops of water, the Citric Acid bubbled and fizzed just like 7up. The temp that they got for it was 16.4o C. They tried the different combinations several different times to see if the reactions changed any, it didn’t. The physical and chemical properties were just like the mystery mixture, which was, small roundish chunks mixed with a snowy powder. When 10...

...120 Date 2-24-14 Scientific Method Lab Objective – For this lab, our objective was to identify the five mystery powders given to us which we were similar in appearance and to check their solubility and reactivity with water, vinegar and iodine. The objective was also to record information as accurate as possible and also to make observations in the reactions of five mystery powders with water, vinegar and iodine. Hypothesis- if we are using all the household mystery powders them they should all dissolve in water because I think all the household powders are soluble in water. Background information- we were given five different mystery household powders. So, as being different powders their physical and chemical properties will also be different such as some of them will react to water, some will react to vinegar and some to iodine. 1. To ensure that the data is correct all of us the group members did our recordings whatever we saw or observe and then checked it with all of the group members. 2. We also did all the tests one by one first with water, second with vinegar and then with iodine. I thought that if sodium bicarbonate reacts with vinegar then it will also react with iodine which wasn’t true. It reacted only with vinegar. 3. From our observations we used solubility and litmus paper to distinguish one [powder from another. 4. For most of this lab we used qualitative observations because at first before even starting the lab we looked at the unknown powders, potato...

...accounts is said to be the complete opposite. My research sought out clues that might explain some of the personal views Edison had on life, politics, and religion; and how they may have influenced his life outside the laboratory. Thomas Alva Edison, nicknamed “Al” or “Little Al” was born on 1847 in the town of Milan, Ohio. He was the youngest of seven children; his father Samuel by tradition was a third generation farmer, and his mother Nancy a schoolteacher. At an early age Al was diagnosed with a hearing impairment, and because of this had very little formal education as teachers thought Al was mentally challenged. Being a schoolteacher, his mother Nancy decided to home school Al where he excelled in reading. Edison learned of the mystery of death early in his childhood. He and one of his friends went out wade in a swimming hole at a nearby creek. The two jumped into the water however only Edison surfaced. As the youngster called out for his friend, only bubbles rose to the surface leaving Edison to wonder where he had gone. Edison swam to the shore where he waited for hours for his friend, only to leave for home after he failed to return. It wasn’t until the police arrived at his home did Edison say to them, “He went down the deep hole in the creek and didn’t come back.” Edison gave details of the event and was stunned when told that his friend had died. Edison was a bright and inquisitive young man who liked to experiment in his parent’s basement. There is a story of one...

...“overwhelmingly and definitively support the role of MAP in at least 30%-50% of CD patients”, according to a 2014 article published in the World Journal of Gastroenterology. This theory is further supported by the mutation of the NOD2 gene in Crohn’s patients, which reduces the ability of the macrophages to kill the mycobacterium. When the macrophages are infected with the bacteria, an increased amount of the cytokine TNF-alpha is produced (Naser, 2014). Elevated levels of this molecule has been found in the gut mucosal cultures of several cases of Crohn’s in one study. Direct evidence of this mycobacterium being the cause of the disease has not been attained, however, and researchers claim this is due to the difficulty of growing MAP cultures in the lab (Clancy, 2006). This backs up the opinions of many gastroenterology researchers that Crohn’s is not an autoimmune disease, but an immunodeficiency state. Still, the connection between risk factors, genetics, and microbes in the pathology of Crohn’s is not understood absolutely. Though the cause of the disease may not be crystal clear, the symptoms are well documented. The main effect of the antagonization of the gastrointestinal tract is severe swelling. Crohn’s patients usually fall into one of three classifications based on the location of the area most affected. When the stomach and beginning of the small intestine are the most distressed, the disease is classified as gastroduodenal. Jejunoileitis causes the worst of the inflammation...

...FOR BLYTHE Acknowledgments My profound thanks to three dear friends with whom I have the great luxury of working: my editor, Jason Kaufman; my agent, Heide Lange; and my counselor, Michael Rudell. In addition, I would like to express my immense gratitude to Doubleday, to my publishers around the world, and, of course, to my readers. This novel could not have been written without the generous assistance of countless individuals who shared their knowledge and expertise. To all of you, I extend my deep appreciation. To live in the world without becoming aware of the meaning of the world is like wandering about in a great library without touching the books. The Secret Teachings of All Ages ———————————— FACT: In 1991, a document was locked in the safe of the director of the CIA. The document is still there today. Its cryptic text includes references to an ancient portal and an unknown location underground. The document also contains the phrase “It’s buried out there somewhere.” All organizations in this novel exist, including the Freemasons, the Invisible College, the Office of Security, the SMSC, and the Institute of Noetic Sciences. All rituals, science, artwork, and monuments in this novel are real. ———————————— Prologue House of the Temple 8:33 P.M. The secret is how to die.

...Individual Essay Bill Gates has been the richest man on the planet for the majority of two decades, and he’s getting wealthier constantly. He was born on October 28, 1995 in Seattle, Washington. He was a very ingenious student. Bill Gates started to demonstrate an enthusiasm for Computer programming at just 13 years old. He persuades his passion towards computer programming with the help from his close friend and business partner Paul Allen. Through attractive innovation, sharp business strategy and aggressive business tactics, he created the biggest software company, Microsoft which worth up to $340.8 billion. He was been criticized for his aggressive business tactics and which have been considered anti-competitive, a supposition which has sometimes been controlled through various court rulings. In the later phases of his career Gates has sought after various humanitarian tries, giving a lot of cash to various charitable organizations and scientific research programs through his foundation, established in 2000. In his early career, he got selected into Harvard University in 1973 to persuade his career as lawyer. Gates didn’t forget to contact with his colleague Paul Allen, who was moved to Boston, Massachusetts, to work for Honeywell and Gates joined Allen at Honeywell. Amid this time, Gates and Allen were fascinated by the article on a popular magazine about their Altair 8800 Mini PC pack. Best friends, were enchanted with the potential results that this PC could make a...

...PSYCHOLOGY 110– LAB EXPERIENCE PAPER MEMORY in HUMAN BEINGS SECTION I: OVERVIEW Memory, is an abstract term with no real concrete definition or absolute understanding thus making the word intriguing enough to draw attention to the greater subject of what it is, how it works and why it goes wrong. It is an essential concept in our daily life yet is the most elusive and misunderstood human attribute. Its constant presence in our everyday and its intricately complex mysteries is what ignites my interest in the research conducted in this field of Psychology. As a college student memory plays a great role in our academic performance, from weather we can recall mathematical formulas to recalling something a professor said in class to remembering certain solutions, key words and definitions we read in course material. Therefore from a personal standpoint the topic of memory interests me, as by understanding this complex concept and going into the depths of it’s functioning, I might be able to improve my own. Memory is formed from childhood and I am interested to see if memory is an natural capacity, and if so what factors lead to a better memory and if not can memory be affected by daily everyday factors. From a Psychological perspective memory excites me because the way we remember things and how can help us understand behavior and reactions to various situations. Memory hence affects decision-making and all other spheres of human life. The recollection of memory,...

...Does the use of multi-sensory devices in the arts create a better experience for the viewer? Sarah Rachel Kemp Manchester Metropolitan University, Fine Art - Printmaking “Synaesthetes may be more likely to participate in creative activities (Rich, Bradshaw & Mattingley 2005), and some studies have suggested a correlation between synaesthesia and creativity (Domino 1989; Dailey, Martindale & Borkum 1997).”[i] After reading an extract on sense experience from the text Phenomenology of Perception by Maurice Merleau Ponty, I decided to find out more about the condition of synaesthesia. I discovered the quote above and became intrigued by the idea that creativity could be linked to a specific genetically predisposed condition in the brain, as I had always believed that while some people are just naturally gifted when it comes to creativity, that to think in a creative way could be learned and developed through practice. If the experience of perceiving more than one sense at the same time is simply a natural part of the way we experience the world, then maybe multi-sensory art can be better appreciated by more people than an art piece that involves the use of only one of our senses to experience it? I decided to research further into the condition of synaesthesia in order to help me determine if the use of multi-sensory techniques and devices in the arts creates a better experience for the viewer. What is Synaesthesia? Synaesthesia is probably best described...

...Chapter One Brennan had been having an average day at the lab. She had no open FBI cases and finished up with the paperwork from her last few modular skeletal storage, or Limbo as most in the lab referred to them, remains. Glancing at the clock she saw that it was only seven P.M. and she decided rather than starting on a new set of remains, that would end up keeping her in the lab well past midnight, she would settle for writing on her book. She was idly opening the file on her computer when it happened. The ringing of her office phone. Of course she didn’t think anything of it at the moment, why would she? She often received calls to her direct line at the lab. She never even thought twice answering it. This phone call however turned her world upside down in mere seconds. “Brennan,” She spoke in her usual dismissive manner into the phone. Her demeanor didn’t change when the voice first spoke; she simply held the phone to her ear slightly irritated at the interruption. As the voice continued to speak however her spine stiffened and her heart raced as her eyes grew wide in disbelief. She felt as though she was going to actually have a heart attack as panic began to set in. This can’t be happening. Trying to calm herself enough to speak she began taking deep breaths as the voice continued relaying information. “Where did you say?” Her voice was shaking as she spoke and she mentally chided herself. Her hand was also shaking as she reached out for a pen to write the information...
