The sun is there, pink and round, still with the beauty just like the first time I ever saw it. Everything around me seems to not exist. The bigger and higher the fireball is, the more red and dazzling it is. The moment the sun changes its color from pink, red, into white happens in just a few seconds, and I never doubt that it is worth every milliseconds. I regret

star and those contained in the big and little dipper. One thing that I find to be quite fascinating is that the earth actually wobbles like a top, although it is unrecognizable to us because it occurs very slowly. I was surprised to learn that the sun was once part of the constellation cancer a few thousand years ago, but now it has become part of the Gemini constellation. Gravity itself is an amazing magnetic pull. Every year we also regularly experience seasons as the earth rotates, but one thing

the temperature, dissolved oxygen level, and pH level in wetland water and stream water. It was predicted that the dissolved oxygen would be higher in the stream because of its moving water. The temperature in the wetland will be higher because the sun is directly on it. Testing six tubes from both the wetland and the stream, findings show the temperature did indeed prove to be higher in the wetland. However, the dissolved oxygen level was higher in the wetland as opposed to the stream. INTRODUCTION:

According to Griffiths (1998, p97), there is no hope of doing perfect research. In order to agree or disagree with this statement, a person needs to get a true understanding of the word research. Research, as defined by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, means “studious inquiry or examination; especially: investigation or experimentation aimed at the discovery and interpretation of facts or revision of accepted theories.” It also means careful study for the purpose of discovering and explaining newly

Science of Sunlight and Stars SCI/151 May 16, 2011 Troy Mazely Science of Sunlight and Stars Light is used in many ways, and is a form of energy that can be created, travel through space, and be absorbed. Light can react as a particle, because it sends all its energy to one place. A particle of light is called a photon. Photons can be absorbed into objects, bounce off objects, or fly through space. Over the course of a million years, clumps of particles will grow into what is called

Global warming is a major issue discussed over Medias and governments all over the world. It is a problem that threatens the whole world because of the destructive impacts it can have on us humans, the animals, plants and the environment. Global warming is one of the biggest threats to human kind. It is caused by the raising of earth’s temperature in the lower atmosphere. Since the industrial revolution the temperature has gone up by 1 degree Fahrenheit of what it has averaged to be for centuries
