Kepler’s Laws of Planetary Motion Johannes Kepler was a German mathematician and astronomer. Best known for his laws of planetary motion, Kepler was a key figure in the scientific revolution in the 17th century. His laws illustrate the fundamental properties of the orbits of the planets and were also a precursor to the formulation of Newton’s law of gravitation. Biography: Kepler was introduced to astronomy in his early years and developed a passion for it, which would span his entire life. At

MARKETING STRATEGY Without emphasize the price and product strategies previously discussed, a brief analysis of the marketing mix underlines some other specific traits of the company. An interesting aspect is represented by promotion. In the solar Industry a great part of the promotion effort lies in the downstream, and this is where SolarCity put a greater effort: on the 2,510 employees (2012), 661 work in sales and marketing and 248 work in customer care (SolarCity, “SolarCity annual report 2013”

Kostelecky, before starting this paper I didn’t have the slightest idea what an amalgam was or why it causes so much controversy in the realm of dentistry. The controversy originates from the material that primarily makes up amalgams; that material is mercury. Now that this debate has commenced, dentists, scientists, and corporate organizations everywhere are arguing whether the use of amalgams should be banned or should remain a growing practice. Because I plan to study dentistry in the future I figured

Classical landscape by Charles Sheeler is an exterior oil on canvas of the Estate of Mrs. Edsel B. Ford, Grosse Pointe Farms (figure 1) filled with deep, hidden irony. It was painted in 1931, and is based on a watercolor study. It’s a calm, clean, and serene painting that takes your breath away. It’s depicting a place someone would want to be in, a place where things get done, and a place where one can go to achieve this idea of the American dream. Charles Sheeler used American industry as a major

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

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
