Am i allowed to use a microscope in my project? What should I do? I have a pond in the back so I could collect pond water for something, I just don’t know what to do with it?!

Cells, microorganisms

Aim:
The purpose of this project is to investigate the relation between social influences, personality, and language. Though speech will also be monitored, the focus of the experiment will be on gestures, physical language, and how they differ from speaker to speaker. A questionnare, was formulated to first, determine the subject’s general personality traits (intravert/extravert), and secondly to evoke explanations where gestures would likely compliment spoken answers. The questionnare is divided into two different parts according to their purpose. The overall response time for the second section will be recorded and common gestures will be recorded as they occur during the interview. By observing the degree of correlation between personality, length of answers (measured by a timer), and number of various hand gestures used, the results may show if there is any relation between these areas in the given subjects. The experiment will show that those who are given to long explanations will use a larger variety of hand gestures, and also that degree of comfort in a situation has an effect on physical expression of feelings and past events.

I love science its so interesting but i just want to know if a person like me will be able to achieve in college.

With hard work, you will succeed in college. If not, you can always switch subjects to something like Business Management (that’s a very good/ big field). If you become a teacher, I am sure teaching it to five or six classrooms a day year in and year out, will help you become quite the expert. Still, there will be a couple little whipper-snappers here and there who will totally show you up. Good luck. I hope you achieve your goal and become a teacher.

You could study if white or wheat bread grows mold fastest. Or maybe the classic baking soda volcano! Or you can do a test on people, their sleep patterns, and their ability to think depending on their amount of sleep.

I know to include the essentials, like microscopes and scales and such, but I need help with the gritty details. For example, what chemicals should I have in stock? What other chemistry items should I buy? I would appreciate any help from a fellow science teacher or someone of that caliber. ANY help would be appreciated.

It’s been a few years since I taught science, but the teacher’s guide usually had a list of all the supplies I would need for a particular unit. That should be your first place to look. Also, middle school students love animals… try two bearded dragons and watch the kids be amazed when they challenge each other. (Note: I guarantee they won’t fight.)

1. In your own words explain how the planets were formed? (assumption)

2. Why is it that Pluto is no longer a planet?

3. Explain how Tuberculosis and Dysentery affect a human’s body.

4. What is AIDS, how is i transmitted and why can’t humans find a cure?

5. How can global warming affect the world.

That’s dependent to a large extent on the state you’re in. I will warn you that a community college might not be able to get you all the way through, what you’re looking for will require at least a bachelor’s degree and if you’ve got any sense you’ll work right away toward a Master’s degree. You’ll need it anyway and it’s more money with a Master’s. I highly recommend you put in a call to the college and start asking questions. They are best equipped to get you on the right path, and it’s their job to know the specific questions relevant to the state you live in. I’m a science teacher, by the way. If you need more advice, feel free to write me at fortitudinousskeptic@yahoo.com
I’ll do whatever I can to help you get started.
Anyway, to start off the community college may work but you may end up transferring later on. Best of luck to you!

how are we ever going to get away from this stuff?

Hi there !

God is truth …God is not a religion.

Why are there still segregated schools ….

Why are there still segregated grave yards…..

Why …as the Bible has always pointed out that man will always dominate man to his own injury?

Why do we bury Nuclear waste and make it another generations problem?

Why did the bible always say men were ruining the earth?

I agree that was one among many stupid things man has done .
