If you have a profound love for snowboarding or skiing, or if you have been interested in either of those activities for some time, there's no reason why you shouldn't make heli-skiing your new year's resolution. Unlike tradional snowbaording or skiing, heli-skiing contains no lift lines, or lifts at all. As such, by partaking in heliskiing, you would essentially elimnate the need to sit on frigid cold chairlift rides, as a helicoptort takes you from ground to the top in a matter of minutes, all

Skills Developed: In this lab, I have better understanding of how to use excel and find magnitudes. I learned how to use and download data from GISS website, which is Goddard Institute for Space Studies, one the databases of National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study on going global warming problem. Also, I learned to create “Global map” to show the regional surface temperature distribution of the years I chosen. I learned how to make comparison by observing maps and line plot

do not know it was going to snow. On campus, the roads are fully covered with the snow, and the snow is left on the road being packed down as some may walk or drive over the snow. For example, the article No-stick surface says, “the bond between the ice and the pavement is strong, removal by plowing alone may not be effective” (Tuan, Yahia 26). If the roads and

people are killed and more than 116,800 people are injured in vehicle crashes on icy roads covered in snow,sleet,or hail every year.7 To alleviate the risk factors, City officials use Sodium chloride,rock salt, to assist in the melting process of ice to reassure safe environmental driving conditions. Is Sodium Chloride(NaCl) the best? Recent studies have suggested that Sodium Chloride, while it is currently in use, is not the best solution in regards to environmental safety or effectiveness due

chose was “How can you make an ice cube melt faster than it does in air?” My findings were the following; putting the ice in hot water melted faster than any of the other procedures at 30 seconds. Apart from having the ice cube melting by air, the other procedure that took the longest was putting it on the floor. This took 2 hours and 8 minutes. What I liked about this experiment was that I could see myself implementing this into my classroom. When I looked at ice, I didn’t really think about it

expect, but I will say it was great experience to attend. I would have to say that one of my favorite parts of the day was ice fishing with the students in my group. It was great to see how the students were so excited about ice fishing, since not many of the have ever been on the ice let alone ice fishing. In the group there was one student who really stood out me during ice fishing because she caught two fish during the activity. She seemed to have a negative attitude about being here and during

Olaf Olafsson, you would probably be illustrating a frozen ice pond, with you walking on the slippery surface. Suddenly you notice that the surface is cracking with every single step you take. Step after step the cracks become more and more pronounced, and you can only think of two things. First thing being reaching safety, while the second is wondering what made the ice start cracking? Splash! Suddenly, you fall through the thick layer of ice covering the beautiful blue water underneath. Though the

I’m sitting in an ice cave shivering, wondering how best to explain the awkward situation I’m in. I tried to explain earlier this morning while the demons wracked my camp that I was not in fact a relative of the Marquise of the Crystal Crown. She had recently inherited her late father’s title (a none too suspicious death, if you ask me). Those who were her potential successors began to disappear. Perhaps she thought that her relatives with a better moral compass would try to usurp her throne, ending
