local grist mill or to hand-grind these grains into flour or cornmeal. While the processing of grains may appear to be a simple task, the perishability of coarse flour and cornmeal made grinding grain a never-ending chore.

Fireworks How do fireworks produce their brilliant colors and loud bangs? To produce the noise and flashes, an oxidizer (an oxidizing agent) and a fuel (reducing agent) are used. The oxidizer oxidizes the fuel in a very exothermic reaction which produces a brilliant flash and a loud report from the rapidly expanding gases produced. For a color effect, an element with a colored emission spectrum is included. Electrons in atoms can be raised to higher-energy orbitals when the atoms absorb

I will like to take a deeper look into the food and culture in the southern part of Africa. I will be discussing things like the tradition and religion, slaves introducing America to soul foods, and the meals they consume during the day. I chose to take a deeper look into Africa because I have an African decent because I am African American. I wanted to see what has changed over the years and how the foods that they introduced to the United States during slavery has also changed. The southern part
how something smells, feels, sounds, or tastes. She describes how Ma makes their food and what they eat each day. "She set the iron bake-oven in the coals too. While it heated, she mixed cornmeal and salt with water and patted it into little cakes. She greased the bake-oven with a pork-rind, laid the cornmeal cakes in it, and put on its iron cover. Then Pa raked more coals over the cover, while Ma sliced fat salt pork. She fried the slices in the iron spider" (30). Laura also lets you know how

Even Africans living outside of Africa love to cook rather than dine out in most cases. This report was based on interviews from Africans who grew up in traditional African homes in Africa
Slavery and the Relationship between Outside Knowledge and Self-Knowledge The ability to generalize what one has learned beyond the original context can either compliment or cause a conflict to a person’s understanding of a topic. While many like to believe that the most important lessons are learned in school, others will argue reversely; suggesting that beneficial knowledge is gained outside of school. Therefore, the relationship between outside knowledge and self-knowledge is essential to understand
