"Extreme Ice" In this documentary film‚ “Extreme Ice‚” produced by PBS TV‚ 2009‚ James and scientists shows how glacier ice is melting. James Balog‚ a photographer‚ wanted to document and help scientists to understand mountain monumental changes. So he surveyed the ice and went to the places such as Alaska‚ Green land‚ etc. The project team which called “Extreme ice” discovered that there were very serious problems. The sun was the most reason of ice melting. But now‚ such as Industrial

“Teaching ICT in secondary School Introduction ICT an acronym for information and communications technology. ICT was introduced in the national curricula of England and Wales in 1999 to define a set of tools used to process and communicate information. The processing and communicating of information has become ubiquitous at the heart of teaching and learning and as such ICT is central to effective secondary school education. This feature gives ICT a unique status in the secondary school curriculum

exceptions can kill you and climate change is one of those exceptions.” Al Gore According to the National Snow and Ice Data (NSIDC)‚ since 1979 the arctic sea ice minimum extent has shrunk by more than 50% and even greater amounts of ice have been lost in the corresponding thinning of the ice. Many scientists are now agreeing that the Arctic may be completely ice-free during the summers as soon as the end of this decade. This will undoubtedly cause the type of environmental blow-back that

Have you ever seen dry ice‚ well let me show you. To measure the evaporation rate it is important to know that a half pound of dry ice will be placed outside and timed. The same thing will happen but in a cool room. If the dry ice is -109.3°F then it will evaporate in any condition warmer. The hypotheses is that the dry ice in the outside will evaporation faster. It is important to understand this because if you are trying to store dry ice and you put it in a freezer it will still evaporate. So in

Ailine Veiga Question: what is the heat of fusion of ice? Hypothesis: To get the heat of fusion of ice we need to determine the Energy it takes to melt the ice and also the mass of the ice and determine the heat of fusion. To determine the mass of the ice melted (m) we start by determine the volume of the water generated when the ice melted. This is the difference between the final volume (v2) and the initial volume (v1). Using the density of water (1.0g/mL)‚ this volume can be converted into mass

realize it is happening? That’s what I believe Robert Frost’s poem Fire and Ice is meant to express. Although the poem is short‚ it holds a very interesting question to think about. The question is which way would you rather the world come to an end. There are two choices. The first two lines in Fire and Ice express the choices‚ “Some say the world will end in fire‚ / Some say in ice.” I feel that he uses the term fire not to hold the direct meaning of a burning flame
