Number One By: Jill Nelson I like this story by Jill Nelson. Jill Nelson and her family were living well for a black family back in the 1960s. Jill’s father would have the family sit at the table for Sunday breakfast and preach his own version of the sermon. Jill’s favorite Sunday breakfast sermon was the "Rockefeller wouldn’t let his dog shit in our dining room" sermon. Her father was smart because he made Jill try to be number one all the time. For 15 years straight Jill’s dad

Growing up I read almost everyday. Reading took me to places I never thought I would go. I’ve been an alien fighting against others to save earth‚ a lost bird looking for my mother‚ a highschool kid going through what every other high school kid goes through. Of course that was before technology took over my life but I still manage to pick up a book every now and then. I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore‚ one of the most interesting books I’ve ever read‚ is the first book in the Lorien Legacies series

Introduction: What does Avogadro’s number mean? It is the theory that’s given by the Italian chemist Amedeo Avogadro which states that “equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules regardless of their chemical nature and physical properties”. And the number of molecules or atoms in exactly 1 mole of a substance is 6.022 X1023. [1] What is Density and how does it help us? Density is defined as the ratio of mass to the volume of a substance:

been one to be fond of numbers. In fact‚ I am scared of them. Numbers especially with letters intimidate me. I normally tend to take for granted lessons that have passed. I study it‚ learn it‚ memorize it and that’s it. Ten points for me if I could actually remember and actually use those complicated equations in my day-to-day life. Though this may be the case‚ I find myself a bit more motivated when these mathematical figures be actually applied in real life. I think I learn more when I see Math’s importance

By The Numbers Dan Ackman‚ 06.23.04‚ 9:40 AM ET NEW YORK - A federal judge in San Francisco yesterday granted class-action status to a sex-discrimination lawsuit against Wal-Mart Stores‚ the nation’s largest employer. The case‚ which now covers as many as 1.6 million current and former female Wal-Mart employees‚ can be decided en masse because it is based on a statistical analysis that shows Wal-Mart paid female workers less and gave them fewer promotions than men.

Lies‚ truth‚ and a long walk on the journey to the destination of womanhood was all interpreted in Number The Stars by Louis Lowry. Though lying isn’t good‚ and no one enjoys being lied to‚ it was for Annemarie’s protection. Because of these lies‚ her relationships with the adults in her life affected her in different ways‚ such as she lost some of the trust she had in her mama and uncle‚ bravery wasn’t up for discussion‚ and lastly‚ she was forced to grow up quicker that she ever imagined.

How was Avogadro’s number determined? Jessica Kim 12D Starting from 200 years ago‚ scientists tried to figure out the basic ideas of chemistry. One of them they put lots of effort in was to find out the mass of the smallest particle‚ mole. Measuring the mass was a primary difficulty at that time since one mole of a substance was unable to weigh without using developed technology. Even though‚ it was clear that everything was made out of a small unit‚ there was no evidence that could determine

the chunking section on pg. 209. I am currently reading a book called "A Mind for Numbers" by Barbara Oakley; it is a book primarily about how to study math and science‚ however‚ I am see that the techniques could be applied to the arts or just about any other subject. Chapters 4 and 7 primarily focus on how to chunk. The main concepts of the book are primarily about how memory works and how to make it work for you. It explains the concepts of spaced repetition‚ focused and diffused attention‚ and
