Galileo Galilei "founder Of Modern Experimental Science"
422 Words - 2 Pages.... medicine and the
different theories of the scientist Aristotle. He was not interested in
medicine, but soon he became interested in math. In 1585, he convinced his
father to let him leave the school without a degree.
Galileo was a math tutor for the next four years in Florence. He spent
a lot of the four years studying the scientific thoughts and philosophies of
Aristotle. He also invented an instrument that could find the gravity of
objects. This instrument, called a hydrostatic balance, was used by weighing
the objects in water.
Galileo returned to Pisa in 1589 and became a professor in math. He
taught courses in astronomy at the University of Pisa, based on Pto ....

Creatine In Sports
1601 Words - 6 Pages.... for using them. They have many long terms and short term side effects. Many supplements are as simple as packaged energy and others require a strict exercise and eating regimen. I will explore sports supplements focusing on creatine and it's effect on the sport world.
The first and most basic sports supplements are protein weight gainers. This normally comes in the form of powder and works best when mixed with milk. The main reason for taking extra protein is to gain weight and muscle mass. In today's athletics, whether it is high school, college, or professional, the athletes are getting bigger and stronger. Protein works the best when the athlete is on a strict ....

Supernovas

are massive exploding giant stars. When the explosion occurs, the resulting illumination can be as bright as an entire galaxy. One of the most energetic explosive happenings known is a supernova. occur at the end of a stars lifetime, when its nuclear fuel is exhausted an it is no longer supported by the release of nuclear energy. If the star is particularly massive, then its core will collapse and in so doing will release a huge amount of energy. This will cause a blast waver that ejects the stars envelope into interstellar space. The result o ....

The Forever Moving Land
2829 Words - 11 Pages.... been stable. Solidified
magma containing magnetic imprints reveal periods of time when the Earth's
magnetic fields have actually been reversed.
Approximately 4.55 billion years ago, the Earth was just a ball of
molten material. Since then, parts of the Earth have cooled forming the solid
crust-mantle. This process has been occurring for roughly about 3.8 billion
years. The mantle is about 2900 km. thick, which lies above a layer of molten
magma that still exists today. The immense heat from the magma (approximately
2700(C) causes convection in the mantle (Figure 1). Convection is caused by
non-uniform temperature in a fluid and density differences. This continuous ....

Cloning
967 Words - 4 Pages.... and morally.
In an article in Newsweek called A Cloned Chop, Anyone? They take a somewhat
neutral, but also somewhat negative viewpoint of cloning in an agricultural and
medicinal sense. They admit some good aspects of this genetic engineering, but
they still seem pessimistic of the future of cloning in animals excluding humans.
The first thing the article states is the Wall Street opportunities for
the biotech field. Instead of phone calls from eager investors only phone calls
from reporters were coming in asking about this market. I feel that now would
be a great time to invest in biotechnical companies specializing in agricultural
and medicinal cloning. This art ....

Nuclear Energy
1496 Words - 6 Pages.... war, the scientists who created the atomic bomb, turned this destructive power into huge plants generating "clean and cheap "electricity for the country. But this new resource brought sickness, mutations, cancer and eventually death to those exposed to high levels of radiation. Even the government declared that nuclear powers were safe and efficient. The truth is that accidents do happen at nuclear power plants and at other facilities all the time. An accident at a nuclear power plant has the potential to be much more harmful than an accident at a coal or gas plant because of the radiation that could be released. An example of this is Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania w ....

CODEINE (C18 H2, NO3 H3PO4 1/2 H2O)
617 Words - 3 Pages.... to one-tenth as
strong. Codeine occurs as a colorless or white crystals or as a white,
crystalline powder and is slightly soluble in water and freely soluble in
alcohol. The phosphate and sulfate salts of codeine occur as white, needle-
shaped crystals or white, crystalline powders. Why is it used? Codeine is most
useful in the relief of mild to moderate pain. It is also used as a cough remedy
because it suppresses the part of the brain that triggers coughing, and as an
anti-diarrheal drug, because it slows down muscle contractions in the intestinal
wall. There are possible adverse effects. The most frequently observed adverse
reactions include lightheadedness, dizzines ....

Types Of Land Features
2108 Words - 8 Pages.... trees shed their leaves and the temperature begins to cool.
The deciduous forest consists of the most variety of plant species than any other biome. The forests are layered by the canopy, understory, shrub layer, and herbal layer. Trees can grow up to 3-5 feet in diameter and 80-100 feet tall.
Animal life is abundant. There are fewer large animals but an absorbent amount of smaller animals. Animals such as raccoons, skunks, foxes, voles, and mice are very common in the deciduous forests. Amphibians are just as common such as frogs, toads, and salamanders.
Threats to this biome are happening more frequently. Acid rain and air pollution is threatening ....
