Cleisthenes, who was the Athenian leader, set forth a system of rules and reforms which he called demokratia, or “rule by the people.” This new ruling system had three separate institutions. The first institution, The Ekklesia, was responsible for writing the laws and dictating foreign policy. The Boule, which was the second institution, was a council of representatives from all ten Athenian tribes. Lastly, The Dikasteria was the court system

In this project, we had to make a car that had at least three wheels and could only be powered by a balloon. The first step was to create a design, I had started by creating a design but, rethought the design throughout the days we were allowed to work on the car in the class. My final car was inspired by other students but, I changed the car to have three wheels instead of four. I then used CD’s as the wheels and taped the balloon to multiple straws to keep it in place. Then, two sticks taped together

Bungees-R-us is asking us to throw ken off a 417 high balcony they asked to prove how many rubber bands will ken need without his head hitting the floor and to prove with evidence and we will need to use diagrams , formulas , graphs , and ect . I believe that the important information that they gave us is how many rubber bands there is in the x axis and also the the jump distance which is the y axis . Some other important information was how high was the balcony which was 417 inches . Well my plan

Part one: The Lab 1.You will be helping Galileo perform the experiment to determine if objects with different mass fall at the same, or different, rates in the air and in a vacuum. Before you conduct your experiment, you need to form a hypothesis. A hypothesis is a prediction of what you think will happen in the experiment. The hypothesis is a statement that describes “if” a certain set of circumstances are present “then” there will be a specific result that will occur. Record your hypothesis here:

In his article, Daniel Levitin not only explain why we like music, but also goes to explain how we develop these interests from a scientific angle. The article begins with Levitin discussing the “Mozart Effect.” He disagrees with the experiment due to the fact that, while the intentions of the experiment were for better, the way the experiment was conducted caused the results to be considered uncreditable. “The study was claiming some the right things but for the wrong reasons” (Levitin). He then

Social psychologist define aggression as any behavior intended to inflict either psychological or physical harm on another organism or object. In order for aggression to be consider as aggressive behavior is for the person must have intended to act of harming another person that does not want to be harmed.

Trebuchet Intro 1st Draft A trebuchet was the first war engine to use the laws of gravity and physics to hurl a projectile across a vast amount of space. "The Medieval Trebuchet was capable of hurling stones weighing 200 pounds with a range of up to about 300 yards," (Medieval Weapons - Trebuchet 1). Physics is a key part in contributing to the effectiveness of a trebuchet. "It relies on the principle that stored potential energy of the counterweight can be converted into kinetic energy of the payload

Isaac Newton was born on January 4, 1643, Woolsthorpe, England. He was an English Mathematician, Physician, and Scientist that lead to the most influential scientist of all time. Newton is an influential person for physics because he gave ideas of motion that later on become the famous Newton's 3 Law of Motion, that we know today. The first newton law of motion, also known as the law of inertia, states that if an object is at rest then it will remain at rest unless is acted on by an unbalanced force
