My first chemistry experiment was in 5th grade when my older brother recruited me as his “little helper” for his science project. I was in charge of heating film canisters pre-filled with an alcohol and water mixture to allow vapor to build inside. I also measured how long the canister stayed in the air after the vapor detonated from a spark. The longer air time translated into a more powerful explosion. I was surprised that the data showed that putting more alcohol into the mixture did not make a more powerful explosion. I want to know why. I want to create a battery that is charged by movements. Imagine that you never need to connect your phone to a charger. Walking, running, swimming, or merely waving your hand will bring juice into the
I could learn how to identity Hydrogen, Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, and hydrogen and oxygen mixture when they are present through this experiment. Before conducting this experiment, I should know the combustion chemical reaction first to predict right results. The most interesting thing was the experiment for gases of hydrogen and oxygen mixture. Through the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, H2O is produced. H2O is water as we know. So I just expected that flame would blow out due to the water vapor. But it was wrong. The flame grew bigger with a pop and a flash.
I have always been interested in science, but the hands on experiments have helped me understand and grasp concepts much easier. I recall my first experiment in first grade when the class was given the lima bean sprout experiment, which required students to plant a bean in a paper cup. The purpose of this experiment was to teach us about photosynthesis and practice our observation skills. I recall how others were fascinated about why their sprout grew. I, on the other hand, was more captivated by why the other sprouts did not grow and the factors, which contributed to that outcome. This basic experiment taught me to look at things through different lenses and not always to the most obvious path.
I really enjoyed making a hypothesis about what was going to happen when the mixture of milk and vinegar was heated in the microwave. I also enjoyed being able to test my hypothesis to see my accuracy. Being able to see the progress within the matter of minutes was incredible to me, i couldn't seem to wrap my head around that. overall my science experiment was
In 2025, I will be twenty-nine years old and hopefully married. I will be married to my significant other of ten years Earnest Palmer III, who is a dentist. I would have been recently graduating with a bachelor’s in Culinary Arts and trying to plan to open my own restaurant, BubbaD’s Eateries. Knowing my big headed husband of mine, I probably had a baby then and trying to have another baby. Hopefully, by then Earnest will get rid of the idea naming our son, King. We will be living in the suburbs near New York City but working in the city. Being a woman with great memory, I probably wrote a memoir about my crazy life and trying to sell it to a publisher. If none of the publishers wants to publish my memoir, I will probably sell it the Lifetime
Orendorf Elementary School, a place of many memories and much learning. What was the most treasured part of each day? Recess after lunch, of course! This was the time to play silly games, like hop-scotch and jump rope, and hang out with friends to discuss the latest in “who likes who” and “which boy has cooties”. This was also the longest recess of the day. My friends and I tried to finish eating our lunch as quickly as possible because the sooner you got finished eating, the sooner you could go outside to play. After eating, Denise, Julie, and I quickly cleaned off our table, packed up our lunchboxes, and then raised our hands to be dismissed from the lunchroom. As soon as Mr. Little told us we could go, we quickly made our way from the cafeteria
Our last, and sixth, experiment was the magnesium ribbon. Our teacher proceeded to take a magnesium ribbon and light it using a lighter. Within seconds the magnesium ribbon started sparking and burning down the ribbon. I put this as a physical change because it
life is stupidly hard sometimes, and only made harder when we pass 18 and have to make our own significant choices. It used to be that society and our parents shaped our futures and even pushed us in the direction they wanted us to succeed in, however hard I tried though I always fell short of my parents expectations. I didnt believe people could change and that neither of my parents would change their way of thinking and that I would never be able to change what I was, but people can change and I know that now.They wanted me to go to college and develop myself in a successful career insted I ran from what my parents wanted, got emancipated and married at 16 and then divorced at 21.
I remember being awaken by the loud commotion going on from the living room, so I decided to go check. I went out calling for my parents, but to my surprise, I only saw my mom on the phone crying from the reflection of a mirror. I wondered where my dad was. I got closer towards the living room and stood by the wall. I witnessed my dad sitting down on the floor having trouble to breath complaining about chest pain while my mom stood next to him. I closed my eyes in fear. I then heard something calling me to open my eyes. It was a siren that got louder and louder each second. I stood up and saw red lights shining through the window. There was a knock at the door and my mom went to open the door. Two men and a woman came through the door in navy
Hi, I am Molly the water molecule. I am going to explain the journey I go through none stop. It changed every time by a little bit, but I am share to you my latest one.
Two weeks ago I was shot by the villain named, Injector. he injects any serum through a bullet that gives you any sickness or powers. So he shot me with a power bullet, which was for his brother, that gave me super speed. Super speed has come in very handy, like getting to work on time and getting ready in the morning. But when I was shot i got sent to the hospital for care. a scientist, named Barry Allen, he took me to his lab which is named, S.T.A.R. laboratories. He had two other scientists, named Cisco and Katelyn, Both love science.
My interest in public health emerged when I recognized how much the health and well-being of an individual affects a community. From a young age, both my parents have struggled with their health; my mother having diabetes and my father having hypertension. I have seen how their health has affected them on the day to day basis and how it has affected those around them at a community level. As I continue to learn more about public health I am beginning to understand that many of the health problems, like the ones my parents face, can be prevented through lifestyle adjustments. Also, I have learned the most effective way to prevent diseases in a community is through advocating healthy habits to avoid health problems from emerging in the first place.
The night I got locked in the LA Science Center was frightening. It all started on a busy and Important evening. I was walking around the Science Center with my class when I stopped to look at the ecosystem walking tunnel. I got focused on the sharks when I looked around my classmates and chaperone was gone! I looked around and ran to the endeavor. My heart started to pound when I realized no one else was there I said to myself “I'm all alone.”
Throughout my educational experience I noticed the discrepancies with regard to the advantages my peers possessed. In high school as I began exploring what career I wished to pursue, I experienced inferiority as my classmates who’ve taken the ACT three times, visited college campuses, and have had resumes ready since the 6th grade unintentionally mocked my lack of college-readiness. However, my ignorance wasn’t intentional, my parents never reached a high school education in Mexico, they couldn’t pass down SAT tips or acquire internship opportunities for me. I realized it's vital to pick up the pace to avoid being left in the dust akin to countless others in my situation. Henceforth, this statement resonates with my experience, I interpreted
During Spring 2013, I received a C- in Organic Chemistry 2. During that semester, I took an 18 credit course load, began a 20 hour per week research position, and spent 6-8 hours per week as the Conference Chair of the Asian American Student Union. In addition, I had two separate oral surgeries within a three-month period. I had truly lost a healthy balance between school, extracurricular, and my personal life. Although receiving the C- did not significantly impact my GPA, it did significantly impact my self-confidence and I began to doubt my own abilities as a student. This was the first time in my life that I had “failed” at school. This experience taught me two important lessons. First, I learned how to forgive myself for my failings. I
At the end of the last academic year, while writing in my year book, you told me how I improved tremendously throughout the year and how I worked extremely hard to cover up the work that I didn't cover in my previous school. That conversion embodied our professional relationship, as you had always tried to push me beyond my boundaries and allowed me to excel in the subject that is very close to me. My grandfather is a professor of Organic chemistry and has been teaching this subject for 50 years. Since a child, I was fascinated by the physical world and the chemistry behind it. Chemistry was my favorite subject and I thought I knew quite a lot about it. When I first joined your class, however, I thought that maybe chemistry was not for me,
