Is the light the beam hit the surface at an angle and spread over bright? Can you see its outline clearly? a larger area. Keeping the flashlight at the same height and over Conclusions the equator, have them tilt the flashlight so that it The earth's tilt affects the strength of the sun's rays shines on the Tropic of Cancer, north of the equator. at different points on the earth's surface. Does the area of light look like the one which was created when they shone the flashlight directly on the equator? Does the light cover a larger area? What does the shape of the light look like? Are some parts of the area lit by the flashlight brighter than others? Adapted from Brenda Wyman, Weather. Investigations in Science Series. (Cypress Calf. Creative Teaching Press Inc., 1995) P.15. Activities / 8-1 Activity number 2 - an experiment Purpose - To show that air has weight Materials - two balloons - tape - ruler or yardstick - string - pin Method Have your students inflate the balloons until they are the same size; then tie them shut. Have them put a piece of tape on one of the balloons near the opening, and use 2 pieces of string to tie one balloon to each end of the ruler or yard stick. Have them tie another piece of string around the centre of the ruler and hang it up so that the two balloons are balanced and they do not rub against a wall. Take the pin and make a small hole in the tape on the one balloon. When you step away, make sure the two balloons are still balanced. Observations The balance changes as the air in the one balloon leaked out and the balloon became lighter. Conclusions - Air has weight.

Glue the straw in place. Draw reference marks on one of the long edges of the card at roughly half-centimetre intervals. Tape the opposite (unmarked) side of the card to the jar, with the narrow end of the rectangular card extending above the jar top and the marked edge just behind the straw. The marked edge should stick out so that the sharpened end of the straw points to the reference marks. Activities / 8-3 Activity number 4 - an experiment Purpose - To show that air exerts pressure Materials Method - Part two - A thin rectangular board, for example a strip of thin Ask your students what will happen if you slowly push plywood or paneling which is about a half metre long down on the protruding board.

If the protractor is held level, where there is no wind, then the ball will hold the thread over the 90O mark. Take the protractor outside. Hold it level and parallel to the wind. The wind will blow the ball and when it does, note the position of the thread on the protractor. Record the angle that the ball has been blown and use the chart to convert the angle to a wind speed.

  • Sometimes Shocking but Always Hilarious
    The Sound of Hammers Must Never Cease: The Collected Short Stories of Tim Fulmer Party Crasher Press ©2009, 2010, 2014, Tim Fulmer. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, recording or otherwise, without the prior written permission of Tim Fulmer. This book is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to actual events or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental and perhaps the result of a psychotic breakdown on the reader’s part. This definitive collection of Tim Fulmer’s highly entertaining short work includes an introduction by the author and sixty-one stories that chronicle the restless lives of what have been called Gen X and Gen Y. From the psychotic disillusionment of inner city life in “Chicago, Sir" and “Mogz & Peeting” to the shocking and disturbing discoveries of suburban dysfunction in “It’s Pleonexia” and “Yankee Sierra,” Tim Fulmer tells us everything we need to know about growing up and living in North America after 1967. His characters are very scary people -- people with too much education, too much time on their hands, and too much insight ever to hold down a real job long enough to buy a house and support a family -- in short, people just like how you and I ought to be all the time. These are stories of concealed poets, enemies of the people, awful bony hands, pink pills, sharp inner pains, Jersey barriers, and exquisite corpses. The language throughout is unadorned, accurate, highly crafted, ecstatic, even grammatically desperate.

  • An Environmental and Cost Comparison Between Polypropylene Plastic Drinking Straws and a “Greener” Alternative an Oberlin Case Study
    An environmental and cost comparison between polypropylene plastic drinking straws and a “greener” alternative An Oberlin case study Madeline Moran May 9, 2018 Abstract Plastic straws are one of the most abundant items found in oceans and coastal cleanups around the United States and internationally. Plastic does not decompose over time, so all the plastic we have ever made is still around, affecting every ecosystem on the planet. Drinking straws are made of 100% recyclable material, but because of their small size most recycling plants are not able to process them so they are sent to landfills. Petroleum-based plastic production is also a large source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, making up 1- 3% of the United States’ carbon emissions alone. By considering green alternatives to PP drinking straws, we can see if there actually are affordable alternatives that can help reduce plastic waste and carbon emissions. This case study focuses on the Feve, a restaurant in the City of Oberlin, and aims to understand the cultural significance of drinking straws in town, and uses that information to suggest ways of changing straw distribution behavior and minimize plastic waste. This study also compares the environmental and financial costs of the Feve using petroleum-based polypropylene (PP) drinking straws versus “greener” alternatives by constructing a modified life cycle analysis to determine if switching to biodegradable polylactic acid (PLA) plastic drinking straws decreases the Feve’s carbon and plastic waste footprint. By tracing GHG emissions created in the production of plastic resins, transportation of materials and products, and disposal of plastic straws, I compare the carbon footprint of three products to see if one is better for the environment than the others.

    Positive Values The Aims of the Boys Scouts of America are to develop character, citizenship, and personal fitness (including mental, spiritual, and physical fitness) in today’s youth. All activities – including den, pack, troop or crew meeting programs, adult training events or committee meetings, camp programs and campfire programs contribute to the aims of Scouting. Every Scouting activity should be a positive experience in which youth and leaders feel emotionally secure and find support from their peers and leaders. Everything we do with our Scouts - including songs, skits, and ceremonies - should be positive, meaningful, and should not contradict the philosophy expressed in the the Cub Scout Promise and the Law of the Pack.
