For the lesson observed the objectives was to explain the trends of the periodic table based on the elements’ valence electrons and atomic numbers. Additionally, students were responsible for applying their previous knowledge in calculating subatomic particles to review the Bohr Models and discus the relationship among families in the periodic table. Students will use the information from today’s lesson to make future judgments on reactivity and bonding created during chemical reactions in the next unit. Lastly, students were to connect the information on elemental properties to previous experiences with their health, commercial products, and everyday life.

Throughout his boyhood, he is constantly learning and studying everything dealing with chemistry including the important men and women (heroes) that contributed to this field. As he matures, his interests jump from metals to light bulbs, chemical reactions, Humphry Davy, photography, the elements and their discoveries, Dalton, Mendeleev, and other chemists, electricity, fluorescence, and radioactivity. Oliver Sacks also writes of some difficult times in his boyhood, including his exile to Braefield, a boarding school, during the WWII, beginning in 1939. Sacks’s house was near London, which was expected to be bombed, so he left along with his brother Michael. During this time in his life, he felt abandoned by his family, tortured by his all-powerful headmaster, and bullied by his classmates. It was at this time in his life that he discovered that chemistry would always be something he could hold on to, and it remained his life force until he turned 14.

Growing up in suburban Detroit, David Hahn was fascinated by science. He often conducted experiments in his basement and enjoyed making things such as homemade fireworks, brewing moonshine, and even making his own self-tanning lotion. Hahn especially loved chemistry and spent much of his time doing amateur chemistry experiments. The chemical reactions in these experiments sometimes went wrong and resulted in small explosions. We learned about chemical reactions in class this semester. He loved to read “The Golden Book of Chemistry Experiments” that his father had given him and tried to collect samples of every element in the periodic table, including the radioactive ones. We learned in class about the elements in the periodic table and how they are identified.

On the Thursday, ______, 2017 at ____ hours, I Officer Chengpor Yang from the Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Education Center (LECJEC) 9110 Brooklyn Boulevard, Brooklyn Park, MN, 55445, read the miranda to James Anderson, who goes by Jimmy and interview him.

The element of air gives humans life. Air represents new life and new possibilities. Life is what allows humans to think, feel, see and have emotions. In The Wars by Timothy Findley the element of air pushes humans to reach their full potential. Robert Ross illustrates this with his desire to live, desire to leave a mark and his desire to overcome hardships. Soldiers did not want to just live; but to live for something and leave a legacy in history.

we have. We are always looking out for the next big advancement. With each new advancement comes new problems that can only be solved with further technological advancements. Ultimately, this creates a never-ending cycle of creation and problems, beyond this, however, it creates a culture of the never satisfied. More than a problem of progress, this is another issue that seems to have its roots in the materialistic nature of human beings. The drive that many have to always be the first to have the latest cell phone, car, or television. In a subtle way, this could be another attempt by Wright to create division between the classes. I, for example, am nowhere near an income that allows for anything that has just come out, instead, I buy what I can afford, not what is equipped with the latest technology.

Skyler, now knowing where his mother was, felt comfortable walking around, though he didn’t plan on finding a book. As he walked around, he scanned the sides facing him of the books on the shelves for interesting titles. He passed many, uninterested and unsatisfied before coming across a book titled “Chemistry for Beginners”.

Matt and I were put into a vault with lots of people who also lived in Boston with us. Matt and I got chosen as runners. The runner's job was to find caps, clothing, food and purified water. We got missions and other jobs from the overseer and other people who needed help. When we were looking for supplies and doing missions we came across two dogs, one that was named Dogmeat and another dog that we named Sparky. Matt and I walk through two big hills and saw lots of big things that we called deathclaws. Deathclaws are really big ugly things that have really big claws. It took a long time to kill these guys because they are really strong and powerful. Good thing we had a mini nuke and a really nice rocket launcher called a fatman.

“I hate hearing my voice, but I love watching it…Do you know what I want to see? intensity vs. Frequency that would be cool, but right now I just see intensity vs. time.” This summarizes the daily life of Dr. Glen R. Kowach in one thought. Dr. Kowach is a professor and the vice chair in the chemistry department of The City College of New York. He is also the most approachable and famous person in the chemistry department. He was born and raised in in Milwaukee, WI in 1970. By the age of 7, after receiving a chemistry and geology set for his birthday he dreamed to be a scientist. Initially, he was fascinated by the shapes and colors of the rocks and the color changes and odor of the chemistry. However, he had the desire to expand beyond the

During the book, Yoshino talks about how different religions have to cover. He elaborated on the fact that Muslims, after 9/11 were faced with this challenge. What took me by surprise, was the encounter of the mother going to change her son’s surname from Mohammed to Smith. I have never thought of this issue. I never knew there were Muslims who actually changed their name! I could never imagine changing my name in order to fit in with society and/or not be look upon in such a harsh way and religiously profiled.

The leader of the Grand Armé went to pinocchio prison to recruit the criminals to help them. All the criminals agreed, but one man who wears a mask, told the leader he could help him instead of fight with him. The fairy god mother has fallen ill and Alex is the next in line to replace her. She was put in charge of figuring out how to stop the Grand Armé and win the war. Conner is trying to find a way to get Bree and Emmerich back home.

This influential couple aimed to “re-socialize racially, ethnically, and economically marginalized youth…through remedial education, medical care, and emotional and family support” (p. 213). Rather than treating the youths as social pariah, the goal was to place them back into society and give them the tools to live a successful life. Their model of a neighborhood-based child and family service group helped spawn a national movement toward community-based prevention and intervention for juveniles. The Clarks went on to become driving forces in the field of child-welfare and social reform in New York through their dual-organization and direct-service-focused center.

From his experiments Thomson established that all electrons are identical and that elements aren’t different because of their electrons but because of how many electrons are present and their formation. (Lucas & Wright, 2001)

The book “The Periodic Table” by Primo Levi is undoubtedly a masterpiece. It showcases the enthusiasm, the level of dedication, and passion successful chemists such as Primo Levi himself had for the field of their expertise. The way Primo Levi has related the troublesome times and events he had to face in prospect with the elements of the periodic table is laudable. Primo Levi is surely an inspiration and a perfect example of prodigy and passion. Despite the challenges and the hardships inflicted on him by the bigoted group of Germens, he still managed to emerge as an exceptional chemist and an author who made great contributions to the modern chemistry as we now know it.

This annotated bibliography explores sources on the Tunguska event that happened in 1908 Russia. Lacking an impact crater and many years passing before eyewitness accounts were documented in the face of such widespread devastation, numerous theories emerged as to the source of this event. While this happened more than 100 years ago, it continues to generate interest in finding out the exact source of the explosion. Most of the more far-fetched theories have been abandoned in the past few years, and the current thinking is that it was a comet fragment or meteor that exploded in the air due to the extreme forces exerted by the atmosphere on entry by either of these cosmic bodies.
