The history of how this all came to be. The uniqueness of this place. The many things you can do here. Cannon Beach, being

liquid form in water. The crystal structure that water forms is stabilized by hydrogen bonds. These bonds are an attraction that arises as a result of interactions between the partial negative charge of an Oxygen atom on one water molecule, and the partial positive charge of a Hydrogen atom on an adjacent molecule. Partial charges on water molecules arise as a result of Oxygen’s high electronegativity, or affinity for electrons, leading to a negative charge on the Oxygen of water and a positive charge

flowers in It is also a climbing plant. Scientists brought beach vitex from Korea to the United States in the mid-1980s. They thought it would keep the beach sand from blowing away, since it has wide branching roots. It also grows well with salty water in its environment, and it can be completely dried out and still survive. It seemed to be the perfect plant for the Carolinas. People were buying it from greenhouses and planting it themselves.

Ice Fishing Tips Mapping your catch February and March offer productive ice fishing days. Because of fluctuating conditions, check the ice for safety. Large, shallower bodies of water are favorable for sunfish, northern pike, and yellow perch. Northern pike, walleye, and lake trout dwell in deepwater lakes. Brown trout, rainbow trout, and landlocked salmon migrate to deep lakes with cool summertime temperatures. Tackling the ice Avoid the ice until it's three or four inches thick. Ice can measure

Kendall Montgomery AP Biology Period 1 The Effect of Varying Light Intensities on the Location Preference of Brine Shrimp Hypothesis: If brine shrimp are placed in a chamber with varying light intensities, then they will prefer a chamber with significant light intensity because they need light in order to hatch and develop. Null Hypothesis: If brine shrimp are placed in a chamber with varying light intensities, then they will not have a preference. Procedure: The brine shrimp were placed in

disc out of the frigid Atlantic water. It was the fourth day of a marine biology program at the Shoals Marine Laboratory off the coast of Maine. There, along with twelve other high school students, we learned about a plethora of topics, ranging from the mechanics of oceanic tides to the anatomical differences between a shark and a mackerel. Almost part every day of the first week was spent on a small boat, performing a variety of tasks in the field. We took water samples from various depths using

Some do not know this, but Maine's central trade is not lobsters, for that precise reason, Maine is known as "vacationland" and lobsters accumulate travelers. So in the late spring of 2003, Gourmet Magazine sent the essayist David Foster Wallace to examine the ground zero of lobsters, the Maine Lobster Festival, MLF, in the heart of the mid coast area (wallace). One would envision the article would be a paean to lobsters and the exquisiteness of the Maine coast. Truth be told, Gourmet was a dream
