By: Ryan Addison Did you know that more than 400‚000 people die each year because of tobacco? That is why the 6th graders have DARE. DARE stands for Drug Abuse Resistance Education. DARE is a program that teaches the 6th graders about drugs and violence and how to stop it. The three things that stood out to me in DARE were Tobacco‚ Bullying‚ and Peer Pressure. Tobacco is bad because it has nicotine that makes you addicted to it. It hurts you by giving you lung cancer and other cancers

Theory behind my experiment Thickness (cross sectional area of the wire)‚ length‚ and temperature all have some effect on the amount of resistance created in a wire. Another factor is the conductivity of the material we are using. Some metals are just more electrically conductive than others. As long as I use the same type of metal for each wire‚ my experiment will remain fair. Cross Sectional Area The thicker the wire‚ the less resistant it is. This is because there are more electrons

The 1993 documentary “Kanehsatake: 270 Years of Resistance” captures the 1990 standoff between the Mohawk (Kanien’kehá:ka) people and the Quebec police‚ and later the Canadian army‚ known as The Siege of Kanehsatake.

Sampling of Gram-Positive Bacteria and Antibiotic Resistance Resting We thought it would be interesting to find out the different bacteria that grow on things we use on a daily basis and the level of antibiotic resistance that those bacteria have. We chose to swab the toilet seat in the MATC women’s bathroom and the ATM machine in the commons area on campus. We were certain the ATM would be dirtier than the toilet seat since the bathrooms get cleaned every day. The first step we took in testing

the power supply carefully. * I am going to only use a maximum voltage of 2 volts. * I will be careful when handling the mains equipment. * I will make sure I have a clear space to work in and nothing on the floor around me. In this investigation‚ I will set up a simple circuit to be able to read the voltage and current when the length of wire changes‚ so I then can work out the resistance. I will be using constantan wire starting of with 1m length and then decreasing it by 0.10m intervals down

Organizational Change: “No man ever steps in the same river twice‚ for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man."‚ -Heraclitus. Change is the one thing that we must all face.
