Every year, America celebrates many holidays with fireworks. One of the most popular selections is a Roman Candle. If you want to try to make this at home, common pyrotechnics stores have all the supplies you would need. Just think of the “oohhs” and “ahhhhs” when you light off your homemade fireworks at home.
First of all, you need a sturdy, good tube. The tube should be cylindrical and should be at least 3/32 of an inch thick. The opening at the top of your tube should have a 5/8 inch opening. Then take a 1/16 inch fuse, make sure it covers the whole tube and sticks out a little bit, just like any other firework and keep the tube in place by using tape. Next, 1.25 grams of 3F BP should be poured into the tube.
Then, gently put a one-half inch star down the tube. This is what will go up into the air and is responsible for the shots. Then, put some sawdust through the tube. Make sure the sawdust is evenly spread and turn the tube over. All contents should not fall out if this is done correctly. Make sure you use some sort of mechanism to push down upon the sawdust. Keep repeating these instructions. The tube should consist of bp, star, sawdust, bp, star, and sawdust for as many shots as you want. Good Luck with your newly made Roman Candle and have a safe experience.
Next, we will examine how to make a salute go up in the air. Salutes are generally products that make a Kaboom sound when launched.
The lifting cup is made when you glue kraft paper that overhangs the salute. Next, you add some lift usually gunpowder to propel it. The inner paper should be glued with a small device or a glue gun. Meanwhile, while the glue is wet fold the paper into quarters. Place a cut in the newly formed pouch and add a piece of quick match.
Now, we will learn how to make salute inserts. First off, buy some top- notch 3 inch tubes. Take all of your tubes and set them on a piece of tin foil. Secondly, you need to fill a tube to the top with hot glue and as the glue is about to dry put it into the freezer for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes is up pull the tin foil off of the tubes and put toilet paper down the open end of the tube.
Form a small hole in the middle of the ball and place the filling you chose inside. Then, you close the ball back up
8. Put the closed flask into a water bath at room temperature in a 1 L beaker. Ensure that the entire flask is covered. If the flask begins to float, clamp it down. Put the temperature probe in the water bath. Using a pipet, add some boiling water from the hot plate to the water bath until the temperature of the water bath increases by 3 °C. Use the temperature probe to stir the water bath. Once pressure and temperature measurements stop changing, keep the data. Record the air pressure and vapor pressure for this temperature.
4. Pour about 300mL of tap water into the beaker. Set up a hot-water bath using a hot plate, retort stand, and thermometer clamp. Alternatively, use a Bunsen burner, retort stand, ring clamp, thermometer clamp, and wire gauze.
Second, a small sample of solutions must be collected and transferred to the beakers by pouring or pipetting from the 500 mL Erlenmeyer flasks containing the solution. Third, a clean wooden stick must be dipped into the solution, soaked for three to five seconds, and put to the flame created by the bunsen burner. It is very important to make sure that that the wooden stick should not catch fire and this may have to be done this several times in order to get a good color. Next, the color of the flame must be recorded in detail and the wooden stick must be ran under some running water to cool it off. Finally, the stick must be discarded into the trash and a new wooden stick must be obtained. Dipping the wooden stick into the solution and put toward the flame must be repeated for the remaining solutions and when you are all done all of the solutions , these solutions should be poured down the drain with a lot of water and rinsed with soap and water. Finally, the labels should be cleaned off, and the beakers should be left upside down to
During the Earth’s known existence, many raise questions to a substance that is a vital necessity to our life here. Some even may claim that the start of our lives may have occurred and begun in a single drop of this universal solvent. This mysterious compound, which may have led to our development and the survival of our existence what, is it? This is H2O, or as we call it, Water. This vital life form covers over 70 percent of the Earth, and makes up about 70 percent of our body as well. We know all of this though, so what is the history behind the thing that keeps me functioning? I will need to look at: who discovered water, how it received its identity, the discovery of its chemical make-up, and its vitality to us. There is so much left uncovered about this major part of our lives. Many know of water but people don’t know what it is.
In each test tube, place 5ml of pure hydrogen peroxide into each test-tube using the syringe.
When composing a team, your ideal team will consist of individuals who have the skills and experience to accomplish the task, as well as, the motivation needed to be successful. (Dyer, 37) Team composition is the configuration of a team, normally based on attributes of the team and the task given.

As I develop my team I am looking for the challenges and norms that the forming, storming and norming stages of team development will possibly experience. The focus of this theory is to become a more effective team. Following through with these stages we can become an effective team, however the challenges and norms we will face normally most teams go through. Starting out with forming my team we will face a few challenges as we begin orienting ourselves and becoming familiar with each other. With different personalities coming together there may be some biased perceptions that may cloud the members ' judgement of one another. A challenge that we face has to do with different aspects of each member 's personality, skills and setting the terms as to what needs to happen when making decisions as a team. This first stage is crucial because of the manner of getting to know who you will be working with and recognizing everyone 's goals to see if you all fit together; it is like building a puzzle. However excruciating this may sound, creative minds can sometimes make great decisions and other times can bump heads and unfortunately waste time when trying to make decisions to accomplish the work. The storming stage is where some conflict begins to arise in the team as we look for solutions. There will be confrontation as the team members will look at themselves as individuals versus
Hellriegel, Slocum, & Woodman (1986) state that team building is used to improve the effectiveness of work groups by focusing on any of the following four purposes: setting goals and priorities, deciding on means an methods, examining the way in which the group works, and exploring the quality of working relationships. A cycle then develops; it begins with the awareness or perception of a problem and is followed sequentially by data collection, data sharing diagnosis, action planning, action implementation, and behavioral evaluation. This style is repeated as new problems are identified.

The traditional Filipino is a close-knit family that is extended in nature and family relations are traced bilaterally through the lines of both the mother and the father. For this reason, relationships within Filipino families tend to be more egalitarian in nature compared to most other cultures and societies. This may have been due to the fact that before the Philippines was colonized by Spain (1565 to 1898) and the United States (1898 to 1946), the Filipino society was matrilineal in nature. More than anything else, Filipinos highly value the presence of their families and the family remains the basic unit of their society regardless
