Solar Cooker Project
My Solar Cooker
My Hypothesis is that the lever will increase the temperature.
2. Built my solar cooker.
3. Took outside and put in the shade for ten minutes.
4. Checked it's temperature, which was at seventy degrees F.
5. Took it out of the shade and placed it within a good angle to get sunlight.
6. I put it in the sun for ten minutes checking it's temperature every two minutes.
7. Made my adjustments and took the lever off.
8. Put it in the shade for ten minutes, outside.
9. Took it out of the shade and put it in sunlight.
10. Let it be in the sun for ten minutes, after two minutes checking its temperature each time.
I think Mr. Tubbs had us test our projects twice to confirm our information. It's always good to check things twice because everyone makes mistakes. Also, we need to compare with other students but either one of us could have different answers.
One of my observations was very intresting. Without out the lever the temperature only increased 2 or 3 degrees when it enter the 90's. However, with the lever it would increase at 20 plus degrees at a time.
My infrence is that the lever increased the temperature because it was another thing that can be used to reflect the sunlight off of.
I had a very good time doing this project and learned a lot from my research
Celluar Respiration
Cellular Respiration
This is how you do Cellular Respiration, First of all the process is called glycolysis is to split up glucose (a type of sugar) 6 carbons to be exact, and then split it in half and that leaves you with 3 carbon molecules called pyruvic acid which is a 3 carbon molecule which results of splitting of glucose to glycolysis. Other sugars, such as fructose, is also being harvested during this porcess. Cellular Respiration is also known as the process wich happens withen the mitochondria in which cells use oxyen to burn sugar for fuel.
Here's a little song to help explain Cellular Respiration to you step by step.
This is a little clip to show what happens. (If you read the song first it might make more sense)
Botswana beyond dimonds
Botswana Beyond Diamonds
The topic I am going to explain is diamonds in Botswana. Botswana is in southern Africa.For this assignment I will be interviewing Jeffrey I. Herbst (Provost of Miami University) on how he is helping the government of Botswana become less dependent on diamonds.
Q: Why is Botswana so dependent on diamonds?
A: I believe that Botswana is so dependent on diamonds because it found dimonds soon after independence and never found any other economic activites.
Q: Why is it important that Botswana develope other products?
A: I think that in about 25 years the diamonds are going to run out.
Q: What specific advice have you given them?
A: My friend, Greg Mills, and I have told them how other countries have developoed other industries.
Q: What do you think will happen in the future in Botswana?
A: Gradually they will develope other industries including mining other minerals, and replace diamonds in 25 years.
Q: Do you think this will help Botswana become richer in the future?
A: Yes, I do believe this will help them because if you have different products you're in better shape. For instince, if Botswana becomes less dependent on dimonds they won't have to worry about the dimonds going down.
What is my country?
1. It is located south of the equator.
2. It is located west of the Pime Meridian.
3. It is located south of Igussu Falls
4. It is located North of Drake Passage.
5. It is located southwest of Brazil.
6. It is located 58º south and 35º west.
