In the Gull Lake Middle School, 6th graders read and watched “The Westing Game”. The story is about people who are put into pairs to find out killed Sam Westing. In the end Sam was Sandy, Barney, Julian R., and originally Windy. There are many similarities and differences.
The purpose of this project was to understand the forces, momentum, and energy a contraption would experience during an impact from a pendulum at 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25mph. The project was required to hold and protect 2 raw large Grade A eggs from each pendulum impact respectively.
As the reader follows the novel and reads deeper into the book, they find that the conflict is person vs. person, or the game itself, with the heirs trying to win the game. In the beginning, the heirs of Sam Westing started playing the Westing Game, and all the players, or heirs, got paired up with their partners that they would have for the rest of the game (38). With Turtle as the protagonist, she has the same predicament as all
In the article, As toid by the egg by the author Susan Gaidos, the general subject matter/theme of the article is how reproduction occurs with an egg and a sperm to create new individuals. The main ideas which will be addressed in the article are how the egg and sperm reproduce, the challenges the sperm faces to get to the egg, how the egg and the sperm have evolved over time since originally the cells looked the same, proteins are involved in the reproduction, and a discussion on reproductive failure. In Biology class we are learning about protein synthesis and this article discusses protein that help with sperm and egg reproduction.
Nick Lane aims to inform his readers about mitochondria by providing several examples of the uses of them. He gives several intriguing examples such as the origins of mitochondria, the possible use of mitochondria in fertility treatments, and how they could potentially be used to identify corpses. Lane provides a detailed background on mitochondria: how they formed a successful symbiotic relationship with eukaryotic cells and how mitochondria and their use for cell-independent energy generation was arguably one of the biggest developments in the evolution of simple eukaryotic cells into complex eukaryotic cells. Lane devotes a large part of the start of Power, Sex, Suicide on what he calls “The Quest for a Progenitor” (what Lane calls an ancestor to the eukaryotic cell). He presents many different theories to how the first eukaryotic cell came to being, to which he then explains his agreement or disagreement in great detail. One particular theory he discusses is the Cavalier-Smith theory of ‘primitive amitochondriates’ which in other words focuses on some very old eukaryotes that according to Lane preceded the eukaryotic merger that resulted in the possible production of mitochondria as well as the origin of complex eukaryotes. The conclusion of part
For my egg drop project I used 4 cardboard cut outs, half of a bottle, yarn, popsicle sticks, 2 balloons, and a garbage bag. I used the popsicle sticks & the cardboard cut outs to build a box to surround the egg. Then, I glued some yarn to the bottom of the box for cushion. After the glue was dried, I put the egg on top of the yarn and glued the half of bottle around it. I attached the 2 balloons on the opposite side of the box. After doing all of that there was only one thing left to do, which was make the parachute. When I made the parachute, I cut a garbage bag in half and folded it into a square. Then, I cut four pieces of yarn (same length) and tied it to the box from each side of the parachute.
My topic is Egg Protection. I will be dropping an egg and trying to find the correct material that will best protect an egg. At least one of these questions will be answered:
The Pecking Order takes a bold look into the factors that separate family members within the social strata. The author Dan Walton, New York University (NYU) professor of sociology and public policy, asserts that the comfy safe haven that families are thought to be, aren’t as great as some may assume. Within these households lives a plethora of factors that alter the destinies of each child. These factors range from birth order, change in family finances, Divorce, Death, to even the “luck” of outside influences. What begins as slight nuances between each child goes on to be pivotal factors in the children’s lives as they mature.
The honey bee! The producer of liquid gold! A honey bee is any bee that is a member of the genus Apis, known for their production and storage of honey and the construction of perennial, colonial nests from wax. Honey Bees live in a nest, called a "hive." A single hive can have up to 80,000 bees, mostly workers. It is usually located in a hollow tree. The hive is ruled over by a queen bee.
Have you ever wondered what crickets taste like? Would you ever eat one? What if I told you, you already do? The information used in this essay is cited from various articles and videos that are cited in the bibliography. Some people believe that insects are disgusting or harmful to our bodies, but in reality the benefits of entomophagy outweigh the drawbacks. I believe, schools should add insects to their menu because insects have nutritional value and having insects in diets can be a step to ending poverty.
Most have heard the classical paradox of the chicken and the egg. Which came first, the chicken or the egg? The same question can apply to the individual and society. Which comes first? To answer the question, a concept of the individual must be established and the origins of society must be explored. Only then can one compare and contrast their roles in relation to the other. Two revolutionary thinkers, Soren Kierkegaard and Bertolt Brecht, will give their arguments of opposition to try to determine whether the power between society and the individual is pulled in one particular direction than the other. In conclusion, an answer will be produced to the question: the chicken, society, or the egg, the individual? The concept of the individual is difficult to define in a way that is universally accepted, due to its historical and cultural variability. Th individual is a historical being in that he developes a personality as he grows and circulates within his or her family, peer group, neighborhood and eventually within the society as a whole. He developes in the process patterns of feeling, thinking, and habits. An individual is also a cultural being. Culture includes religion, philosophy, science, technology, art, education, politics, etc within a given society. The concept of the individual emerged, across western society at the end of the middle ages (1200-1400), with the rise and expansion of a new social class: the bourgeoise. During the historical emergence of a new social class, the bourgeoisie, co-developing was a new form of society. The feudal society, which had come to an end, saw the emergence of the hierarchy of social groups, making people dependent on others. On the shoulders of the common man grew an enormous parasit...
Since the fateful day in September 1835, when Darwin first reached the Galapagos Islands, and thereafter began theorizing natural selection, evolution has been a hot topic of debate. Most novices to evolutionary biology believe natural selection, logically, is the driving force of evolution, but what many people forget is the complementary force sexual selection. Sexual selection, as opposed to natural selection, is the passing on of traits that help an organism mate rather than just survive, avoiding environmental dangers and finding food and shelter. Some of the most iconic sexual displays in the animal kingdom include the beautiful feathers of the peahen, the massive claw of the male fiddler crab, or simply becoming the alpha male or female
If there is something interesting – and indeed surprising - about Africa, it is a continent where smart fastidious individuals can capitalize on the gullibility of others and make millions within the twinkling of an eye. It is a place where even monkey’s red ass, sweetly coated with a little lie and persuasion, can be marketed as omnipotent product and sold for millions of dollars for simple minded individuals.
The birth rate for the United States dropped 2 percent in 2008. This puts the US birth rate slightly the replacement level of fertility, 2.1 births per women. While some people express concern about the possibility of a decreasing population, others celebrate the large decrease in teen pregnancy. Preliminary analysis points to the slow economy as the reason behind the falling birthrate. While there seems to be a correlation between recession and lower birthrates this does not prove a causal link. To prove causation a theory must be proposed.
Which came first the chicken or the egg? The chicken and the egg is one of life's oldest questions. The days of fighting on the playgrounds of which one really came first are over, but the question remains the same. Which came first the chicken or the egg? Just look at the question, it is a very tough one. How can a chicken arrive without an egg? How can an egg arrive without a chicken? Many people have varied opinions on this, my opinion is that the chicken came first due to many logical findings. Although there are many variables out there for any one person to make a definite decision on which came first. Maybe this question just isn't made to be solved. It could be just one of life's questions, around for the sole purpose to bring meaning to other unanswerable questions. I will show why I believe that the chicken came first and why some people do see that the egg came first.
