Try "adding" another child (say a two-year-old) to a family with a newborn, a one-year-old and a three-year-old who already have staked out their places in the family dynamics. The tension and desire for attention from the parents creates turmoil. You are making an assumption that a stable solar...
Is your furnace/boiler close to the hot water heater? If they are both in the same room, the heat from the furnace/boiler may be also heating the hot water tank or the pipe to the shower may run next to the furnace/boiler and would get extra heating.
In String Theory studies, I would say get your undergraduate degree and your job first then take the graduate courses for your advanced degrees. While you are working, accept the night shift so you have time to read and study while you await the next customer for burgers and fries.
Before we could observe the whole world from outer space, mankind believed themselves to be on a finite continent or island in the universe. Once we realized the shape and size of our planet we could understand that we were not the center of everything. Similarly we can place our world into the...
Who is doing the observing? If the universe is infinite, we observe equally far in all directions from our fixed point, therefore we are at the center of our observations. But if we are at the edge of a curved space-time continuum, we may not be centered upon the universe that exists. Even an...
Relative humidity is the amount of moisture in the air relative to the amount of moisture the air can hold at a given temperature. Hot air can hold more moisture, cold air less. Relative humility is how humble you are at a given temp and humidity level. Some people sweat more and lose their...
Boiling is a phase change, not temperture dependent. The water temperature does not need to change for the water to boil. We live above 9,000 feet and water boils at about 190 degrees F making it difficult to cook vegetables since the water will not increase beyond the boiling point. But if we...
The more you understand the science behind a question, the more difficult it is to answer it . At the high school level this is really a philosophical question asking you to choose whichever answer allows for the most latitude in the definitions of the words in the question.
The last time I remember having a serious student/teacher conference it involved the parents, the dean, a guidance counsellor, a teacher rep from the NEA, and an administrator while I was almost lost in the crowd. The students have social media sites where they can vent against or rate...
Do the kids a big favor and get to the metrics ASAP. Have them use meter sticks and metric tape so they naturally think in meters, liters, and grams. All the units are interchangeable and multiples are x 0, x 100, and x 1000. Paper clips and small metal nuts or nails will approximate the units...
