Introduction In this lab I observed the burning of a candle very closely. I found out that the candle needs oxygen to burn‚ that it produces carbon dioxide similar to the way that my body produces carbon dioxide‚ and that a candle produces water as a second waste product. I learned that if I hold an object in the flame it becomes covered with soot which is unburned carbon fuel. Finally‚ I learned that neither the solid wax‚ nor the melted wax‚ nor the wick burns when a candle is lit. In fact‚ the

The invention of the seed drill was really one of the most useful inventions in that time because it helped make the farmers work easier. The seed drill was created by Jethro Tull to make the lives of the laborers easier and not waste the seeds of what could’ve been a surplus of food. The seed drill was a mechanical machine that would plant the seeds in rows rather than the method used prior where farmers would

Drill Team Captain Becoming Drill Team Captain was such a great experience. I feel as if becoming captain helped me with my leadership skills.

One of Milton’s strengths used in his epic Paradise Lost is his vivid imagery. He uses imagery not only for visual impact but also for reinforcing themes and characterization.
