Does Soil Function as an Electrical System?
Hypothesis If soil functions as an electrical system, then gardening soil would be the best option.
Purpose The purpose of the experiment was to test if soil can function as an electrical system. I wanted to do this experiment because I always wondered why lightning hits the ground many times, why not other things. This information can be used to see if soil can really flow electrical currents through it or attract it.
Conclusion My hypothesis was proven right that, if soil functions as an electrical system, then gardening soil would be the best option. I believe gardening soil did the best out of the other soils because it had the most moisture plus it was softer and electricity is attracted to water. Adding water to the soil enhanced the
Supreme Court ordered desegregation of schools. The decision struck a Chicago newspaper as a "second emancipation proclamation." The Supreme Court’s implementation order of 1955, designed to hasten compliance, ordered desegregation of schools "with all deliberate speed," but compliance was slow. When the governor of Arkansas, Orval Faubus, tried to block the enrollment of nine black students into Little Rock High School in 1957, television showed the entire nation the confrontation between National…
Its amazing how much he had to go through in order to learn and write while we have it simple and don't want to. Look at all the things that he had to do, while we have more than enough things, in order to learn to read and write. Exposition and astonishment are found in "Learning to Read and Write." Douglass has some expositional areas in his essay that if you pay attention to all the things that he has gone through, you would be able to put it together. Throughout the essay, Douglass explains how…
what people see me as. I am often labelled as a textbook "popular kid". I don’t particularly appreciate this categorization, because along with this title comes prejudice adjectives such as "jerk", or "idiot", and that is the appropriate side of things. This brings me to describe the real story behind who I truly am beyond the surface. I was born in Slemani, Iraq, where my parents developed a vision. This vision consisted of a better life, not only for themselves but especially for me. Although the…
my name defines me perfectly because I am very compassionate, but I have a problem with telling people no, so many individuals tend to take advantage of my kindness which results to me giving more and receiving less which than leads to me being without certain essentials because I was putting someone before myself. Furthermore, I have a magnetic personality, but one of my flaws is sensitivity which always escalates into me getting frustrated about minor things or either leads to me taking things personally…
procrastination and teachers always appreciate students who turn their work in on time. Students should not procrastinate because it is hard to make up multiple assignments when you have other homework to worry about. Usually students will end up turning it in late or not turning it in at all and that could hurt your grade point average. Another piece of advice for freshman is to join clubs or any organizations that you can. I am not involved in many clubs and colleges love people who are in clubs…

All About Me Brooke Mullins Psychology 1301-A, Spring 2013 Rachael McCormick February 3, 2013 All About Me There have been many people who have passed through my life that molded me into the person I am. My parents played a significant role in making me, me. Family can either help you get up on your feet or knock you down. My family is the reason that I am where I am today.

looks at me different now. Most of my family is very disappointed in me and expect better and always try to talk to me about it. My family feels that i am ruining my life by using marijuana and want me to stop because they are scared and think i might end up dropping out of high-school, or that i might decide not to go to college or university. The impact my use has had on my friends is not as big as my family but it has still had an impact. Some of my friends have stopped talking to me cause of…
and rainy day and all I wanted to do was sleep before the night’s festivities. I was pretty excited for the day ahead of me because it was the fourth and I love going to watch firework with all my friends and family. I just knew it was going to be a good day.

I thought she was just calling to see what I was getting into that night, but I was wrong. She called me to tell me that one of my close…
