| Melting Away | By: Deondre Floyd-Bamberg | | I found this project a little exciting due to the models I had been able to build. The purpose of this project is to test what household objects combined can insulate the cold air from an ice cube and prevents it from melting and sustain the freezing point of the ice. I used aluminum foil, paper, and cardboard for the materials materials for the ice boxes. I also added two substances which were salt, and sugar. The salt in this experiment forces its way into the ice cube, therefore bonding with small particles of the ice molecules to raise the freezing point.
Rising to your feet, standing on your board, carving into the side of the mountain, a refreshing breeze hits you as you make your way down the mountain. B. General Purpose: Today I’m going to show you the basics of snowboarding. C. Specific Purpose: I am going to demonstrate the proper gear to wear and the basics in falling and balancing as you’re going down the mountain. D. Thesis Statement: After this demonstration you will have the confidence to try snowboarding at least once!
Every element of snowboarding has a mathematical concept hidden behind it. Starting with the size of a board, to the parabola that is created when a rider goes off a jump, or the angle that the board makes during certain tricks. Snowboards come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and the length is usually measured in centimeters. Also, boards range from flexible to stiff. Sizes are based on height and weight a board should come between a person’s chin and nose.
The important factors of snowboarding such as angle, balance, and speed, all relate to Physics and Math. The idea of Math and Science has guided me into snowboarding, from the basic green levels to black
In line 29, she left out the consonant “p” at the end of the word “lump”. Jia Hui was able to retell the story relatively well by looking at the pages and mostly through memory. On several occasions, she remembered the exact words used in the book. Examples of this would be “crunch, crunch, crunch” (line 12) and “dragged his feet” (line 22). She paid very careful attention to the illustrations as demonstrated in line 47; when she pointed out how the snow had melted, she said, “Can you see the shadow of the snowball here”.
It is a special type of polyethylene plastic that allows the board to have a minimal friction coefficient when sliding down snow-covered ground, creating a "slippery" feeling. This plastic was designed to absorb wax for conditioning and extended life. A steel ring (7) serves two purposes: it protects the sides of the snowboard and puts maximum force into the snow for optimum maneuverability. The graphic layer (2) is a printed layer of fiberglass giving the snowboard an appealing design. There are literally millions of different snowboards with a unique graphic on them, but snowboard consumers may have a custom
Snowboarding When you look at a snowboard it seems relatively simple. Actually, a lot of thinking and technology has gone into making it. Snowboarding started with surfing. Over time and a bunch of different people, snowboarding evolved from the Snurfer (1965-a child’s toy with a shape of two small skis attached together) to the snowboard we have today. Although wood is not the only material in a snowboard, the wood itself is the most important part as it is what actually makes up the main body of the board.
Both methods have been advanced in ways that makes it hard to distinguish between an earth made diamond and a lab created one. Liquids: How a Zamboni operates. The zamboni has been around since the early 1950s and since its introduction to ice rinks has been employed in nearly all of them to clean and resurface rough and cut ice after a game of hockey or ice skating. The zamboni works by a series of functions that fall into place together. Once the zamboni is deployed, it moves around the rink at a steady pace dragging a large blade along the ice part of the conditioner that shaves the top layer.
An artwork called “Summer Snowballs” (2002) captures the significance of the audience’s reaction as well as the transience of the natural materials used to create the work (e.g. - wool, wheat, cow hair, pine cones and berries). These encased materials convey the nature and extent Goldsworthy went to. As it is an environmental piece, it symbolises Goldsworthy’s culture and passion for art. It also is a representation of the human interaction with the environment along with the nature of life.
“Alpha,” “Beta,” and “Gamma” exercises. First, to build a solid figure skating foundation, one needs to master the I.S.I.A. “Alpha” exercises. They are forward stroking, forward crossover, and one-foot snowplow stop. According to An Introduction to Ice Skating, Einar Jonland (1973, 31), forward stroking can be done easily by opening one’s feet and pushing it to either side, stretching the other foot behind.
