What is the future of Antarctica? The fifth biggest continent in the world and 10% of its total land area is being destroyed simply because of humans. Antarctica‚ one of the last truly untouched wildernesses is slowly becoming just like the rest of the world‚ should we let it happen or should we do something about it? 17 species of penguins currently inhabit Antarctica with over 50 million of the different species. Many countries take interest in Antarctica for different reasons whether it is

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.

Why Polly is the MVP of Surviving Antarctica Where would we be without Strong Leaders ? We may be just fine‚ or we may be drifting through life‚ without proper direction‚ purpose‚ and an understanding of life‚ we might make poor decisions simply because we don’t have an example to follow. Another name for them could be an MVP‚ or Most Valuable Player‚ they put their singular needs aside‚ and focus on others as if they were their own‚ they rally people together for a common cause‚ this

Melting Point Determination Identity and Purity of Solid Organic Compounds Objectives • To introduce the technique of melting point determination. • To use the concept of melting points for identification and characterization of organic compounds. • Properly fill and use a capillary melting point tube. • Determine accurate melting point ranges for a wide variety of organic substances. Introduction The melting point of a solid can easily and accurately be determined

Introduction The purpose of the experiment was to determine the melting points of compounds using a Mel-Temp device. The melting point of naphthalene‚ urea‚ and sulfanilamide are found. This is then followed by the measuring of an unknown compound‚ and an impure sample (a small amount of naphthalene mixed with the unknown). Experiment In the lab‚ the height of the chemical in the capillary was set to 2-3 mm thickness. The voltage at the Mel-Temp started at a low setting of 1.5-2. The heat was

In Antarctica there are massive amounts of frozen water that are locked up in ice. Some of Antarctica’s ice sheets are more than 2 miles thick‚ and if the ice starts to melt then sea levels will rise dramatically. Sadly the ice has started melting already. There are radars that are measuring the amount of water that there is now‚ but scientists are trying to figure out how much water will be if all the ice will melt. Antarctica contains more than 90% of the worlds ice‚ together with Greenland‚ it’s

The Melting Pot Is The United States of America the “melting pot” of the world? A melting pot is “a place where races‚ theories‚ etc.‚ are mixed.” (The Oxford Dictionary) Many immigrants come to the United States for the same basic reason: A better way of life. These same immigrants envision their dreams of success‚ freedom and happiness coming true. Without different cultures coming together learning from one another‚ many of today’s modern marvels would not exist. A good example of this is

The Melting Pot Cultural assimilation is the blending or fusing of minority groups into the dominant society. There are many metaphors related to the concept of cultural assimilation in the United States‚ one being the melting pot. It suggests that all of the cultures that have been brought into America melt together and become the base material of the pot. This metaphor is considered somewhat accurate‚ but some people disagree with what it implies. There are some metaphors that better represent
