Caesar’s murder‚ Calpurnia insists that Caesar heed to the Soothsayer’s prophecy to beware the ides of March. Calpurnia emphasized the grimness of the omens by using alliteration‚ parallelism‚ logical appeals‚ and a terrified tone.

Antarctica can be seen as the world’s largest laboratory. Science is one of the most important reasons as to why we venture into this barren desert‚ and we have made and continue to make important scientific discoveries in the Antarctic. We have made discoveries like: How the atmosphere and the oceans ‘work’ and how they are linked‚ how much Antarctica has moved etc. Old explorers like made the first journeys across the vast continent and became ingrained into history books for doing so.

galaxies absorb light and are plotted in the absorption spectra. (Col‚ 2010) Emission spectrum gives off light at different wavelengths. The atoms and molecules in the hot gases create extra light and produce bright lines on a black background. Comets‚ nebula and certain types of stars fall in these spectra. (Col‚ 2010). Objects whose light gives off a rainbow of colors without interruption fall within the continuous spectrum. We measure a star’s apparent brightness based on its luminosity and

Chemistry • Element – pure substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances. Made up of particles/atom of only one kind. Simplest pure substances. • Compounds – pure substances which contain two or more different elements. • Atom – smallest particle of an element. The smallest unit of an element that maintains the properties of that element. • Chemical Group – the set of elements in the same column of the periodic table. These elements have similar physical and chemical properties
