...Frugal homeschoolers adhere to the “waste not, want not” philosophy. With that in mind, consider physics teacher Bobby Mercer's new 212 page paper-back book, Junk Drawer Engineering: 25 Construction Challenges That Don't Cost a Thing. Junk Drawer Engineering continues the popular Junk Drawer Science series, which also includes Junk Drawer Physics: 50 Awesome Experiments That Don't Cost a Thing and Junk Drawer Chemistry: 50 Awesome Experiments That Don't Cost a Thing, also available in print or Kindle electronic formats. Junk Drawer Engineering details how to construct 25 challenges including a pasta bridge, marble roller coaster, marshmallow tower, milk carton sound wave amplifier, or egg catch device, from items you would ordinarily throw away. The book begins with a brief “Introduction: What is Engineering,” stating that “A basic approach will be shown to give you the ability to do each project, but engineering is about thinking outside the box and devising new ways to do things. You are encouraged to try new methods—you never know what new and creative ways you will think of.” Mercer divides projects into three categories: Energy,...

...Materials scientist, Joseph Davidovits, that holds the spotlight of many historians and scientists, he is an International renown French Scientist, born in 1935, working in France, Europe, USA, Australia and China. Most Egyptologists reject the idea, put forth in the mid-1980s by French chemist Joseph Davidovits, that the pyramids contain concrete. Barsoum’s team took a fresh look at 15 samples using scanning- and transmission-electron microscopes. The samples contain ratios of elements, such as calcium and magnesium, which do not exist in nearby limestone. These observations suggest that other substances were added to make a concrete mix. I choose theory number two as the best one to explain the mystery, the pyramid is such an awesome piece of history and just unimaginable to the human mind for such an structure to stand for many years and the fact that...

...TIPS ON HOW TO BE AWESOME 1 Make friends with people around you. Practice starting good conversation. Humor makes people comfortable, and will help you form bonds with others. To form closer bonds, you can hold a sleepover or have a party with people you'd like to get to know better. Parental consent comes first, though. 2 Don’t worry about what others think of you. Everyone's different and everyone is unique. Also, don't change in order to fit in. If the popular girls are wearing something amazing, that does not mean you have to have the exact same thing to be awesome. 3 Be active. Don't just sit there and be lazy, stand around with a racket occasionally.Have fun while you're being active or playing sports. Getting active will help keep you healthy. Regular exercise can improve your mood and relieve stress, ultimately making you a happier person. 4 Try to do well in school. Ask for help if you need it. It's okay to get a bad grade once in a while, as long as you tried your best. It is awesome to get good grades, so pay attention in class and put in the effort, especially math! Math and science aren't just subjects for boys. 5 Develop your skills and talents. Skills take time to develop and effort to master. Different skills and talents are good conversation starters. People will soon be asking you to teach them new skills and vice versa. This can be in any field: gymnastics or sports in general, art, music, trivia, computer programming—you name it. Make sure...

...What is the differnce between earth science and biology? earth science is rocks minerals and the study of the earthen sphere and all that make it. biology is about organic compounds and anything living (bio) that has home on it. Why is it important to study Earth Science? Because we find out about the earth and its environment from the books. How the environment affected the people on earth and what precautions should we adopt so we can get along with it. It also is important because you get to know more about your earth. The simple answer is, because it's awesome. Otherwise, Earth Science is very important in understanding how our world works. It has many different applications, from oil and mining, to waterways and seas, to understanding Earth History, and to engineering and building, as well as many others. Because you want to know about the Earth? Or because you think that the qualification will help you to get the type of job that you want. SO we can make good predictions an be prepared what can happen in the future. One example of a bad prediction is 2012. 1st. the myians never predicted that. 2nd. My dad talked to a scientist about it and he said everyone that's saying different ways that other people said the world is going to end is fake. so we will know that earth science is literacy of critical importance to our nature.

...yellow, green, and blue striped upper case S lying flat on under the P. Sony’s brand name logo is very recognizable because it is their name, however, I feel that it lacks a certain quality that would promote the brand; there is nothing special about their logo. I think that Sony’s logo for their PlayStations does a superior job promoting the brand because whenever someone sees PlayStations PS logo they immediately recognize it as PlayStation; it is far more eye catching than just the word Sony. The second reason I like Sony is because of VR. There’s something so fantastically science-fiction about the concept of virtual reality. It’s the closest thing we have to jetpacks and hover-boards, those futuristic technologies we watched on TV as kids, and read about in books. And with virtual reality, we’ll be able to finally drive in flying cars and take trips to the moon. Because VR is so steeped in science-fiction, I can’t help but also recall the dire warnings: People lost in alternate worlds, virtual reality junkies, incapable or unwilling to unplug. Perhaps anti-social isn’t even the right word—unsocial, detached, and isolated. When we play games on the TV or our PC or phone, we’re often playing in proximity to others, and for better or worse the experience is often shared. VR encourages a new kind of selfishness. One really cool, really crucial feature of Sony’s Project Morpheus is the ability to mirror the VR screen onto your TV, allowing other people to play alongside you without...

...California Science Center Ecosystems When I entered the extreme zone I thought it was incredible I started with the ice room as soon I entered it felt as if I was inside my fridge at home I thought the ice wall was incredible it was interesting to leave my hand print there. Also to be able to see the clothes they wear out there and what it is made of was interesting. Its hard to imagine how animals can adapt to this kind of weather it seems like we are still finding it hard to live out there especially with our technological advances. The climate puzzle was a little hard but plan to go back to take a closer look at some of these things. The desert was well put I think they captured exactly what they were going for and that was to make it seem like a real desert. I was really amazed when I noticed that there were bats in this exhibit and to think that there are bats in the desert I guess it was something that I never thought of I was use to the thought of bats being in caves in the forest something like the movie “Ace Ventura”, so it was something that most definitely broadened that part of my knowledge. Also the rainstorms that happen so rarely in the desert but when it does it goes big. For animals to adapt to this kind of weather is incredible with nowhere to go it really is the survival of the fittest with no water in sight with that kind of heat. The deep sea exhibit was quick for me but I had the chance to play with the roving robot and it’s interesting because...

At catalina we did alot of things that we can’t do where we live i wish I can go to catalina again. At catalina we did alot of activities one of them was the squid lab. This was the nastiest stuff thing we did at catalina. We had to dissect a Squid we saw all the organs. We didn’t have gloves we used are bare hands. even though it was gross I would like to do it again. At catalina we got to kayak this was one of the most fun things. The water was cold as ice. I grabbed the wrong paddle and I was slow. We got to see garibaldi fish if we looked down. This was probably my favorite thing to do at science camp. Snorkeling was really cool.We saw many fish. Most of the fish we saw were garibaldi fish. There was .kelp and big rocks with coral. The coolest part of snorkeling was seeing at the fish in there natural habitat....

...Enter an era in Hollywood’s most imaginative and speculative science, both classic and modern periods known as the science fiction genre that cinematically altered the conventional based narratives of filmmaking and character definition with elements of fantasy and horror. When French filmmaker Georges Méliès made Le voyage dans la lune (A Trip To The Moon) in 1902 it was considered to be the first science fiction film ever created. The next tremendously influential and landmark film came from Fritz Lang’s Metropolis in 1927, an impressive and visually stunning motion picture full of German Expressionism. Born from the pages of novels and pulp magazines, intrepid filmmakers and screenwriters of the 1930s and 1940s would venture into the...

...Destination Imagination is a creative problem solving program where students compete in different challenges using science, theater, and technical skills to solve a problem. During my last year as a Destination Imagination member our state competition got postponed a week due to flooding. Due to prior commitments over half of our team would not be able to make the competition. Instead of giving up the last two members of our team and I decided we would still compete and perform what was meant to be a seven-person skit with only three people. Within a week we were able to rewrite our script and design a costume that allowed one person to play two different characters. As a leader of this team I was so thankful to be a part of such an awesome team that could come together and through teamwork and creativity come up with a solution to overcome one of the greatest obstacles we...
