to represent the distances of each planet from the Sun. We physically counted out each piece or sheet of toilet paper to reach the destination of which the next or neighboring planet was from its neighboring planet. We started with the Sun, then Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, until we finally reached our final planet, Neptune. We drew dots to represent each planet. In our lab activity, we created and demonstrated a relative scale model to show how the planets are aligned and

for over a hundred years to fill in cavities where there has been tooth decay. The question many have is “what is dental amalgam?” Dental amalgam is a mixture of materials containing powdered alloy, metals and mercury. There have been some concerns, however about the safety of this mercury containing filling material. “Amalgam is in the same safety class as gold and composite fillings” (FDA) and does not pose the safety concerns as once thought. Compared to other dental materials, such as composite

Colonization is when a settlement is set up away from one's place of origin. Humanity may be considering colonization for many reasons. The most obvious reason is: we need to colonize new places for the survival of our species. As we expand the colonies, it allows us to have grow bigger populations and more people the planet. Another reason humanity is considering colonization of different planets is because of the growth of humans throughout the solar system. People want to expand their knowledge

robotic mission that I chose was Mariner 10. Mariner 10 was launched on November 3, 1973 intended as a flyby of planet Venus and Mercury. It passed by the Venus in February 1974 and used the gravitational pull of Venus to reach Mercury. Mariner 10 was the first man made object to reach Mercury on March 29th 1974. The technological advancements achieved during the Mercury Mission accelerated the space technology. What was NASA’s Mariner program? Besides sharing a name with a great sports franchise

Parents often try to protect their children from all dangers as much as possible, especially at a young age. However, it is easy to overlook the fact that a child’s surroundings alone could lead to significant health issues. Even factors that might not seem threatening at first thought, such as food and water, can prove to be incredibly harmful due to the chemicals they contain. For Jamie and Sam Kelly, residents of Williamtown, Australia, the possibility of unknowingly harming their child became

Considering my science lesson is part of a new unit, the preceding lesson is unrelated due to the subject involving heredity. The new unit focuses on Earth’s place in the universe while the first segment teaches students about the different components of the universe. Students should have some prior knowledge on Earth’s environment and weather from previous years, which would allow them to identify Earth from other planets. However, if a student lacks knowledge in that area, my science lesson will

In the story, “All Summer in a Day,” Ray Bradbury draws us in, as readers, with a story that takes place on the planet Venus. The environment of Venus is as described in this quote, “It had been raining for seven years; thousands upon thousands of days compounded and filled from one end to the other with rain, with the gush and gush of water...fall of showers and the concussion of storms so heavy they were tidal waves come over the islands…”(Bradbury, 1954) With an environment like this, what type

Asaf Shchory 6/7 Jackson Mrs.Mattier Literary Essay “‘Ready?’ ‘Ready’ ‘Now?’ ‘Soon’ ‘Will it happen today, will it?’”. In the story, “All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury the kids on underground planet Venus only see the sun once every seven years for about 1 to 2 hours. These are the happiest moments of these children’s lives. Margot is a normal child born on earth who was traveled to Venus at the age of nine. Unlike all the other kids on this planet Margot has a memory of the sun. This makes

silver fillings. Dental amalgam is a mixture of mercury, silver, tin and copper. Mercury, which makes up about 50 percent of the compound, is used to bind the metals together and to provide a strong, hard, durable filling. After years of research, mercury has been found to be the only element that will bind these metals together in such a way that can be easily manipulated into a tooth cavity. Is mercury in dental amalgam safe? The amount of mercury released in the mouth under the pressure of chewing
