Title: Phases and Eclipses of the Moon
Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to demonstrate the different phases of the moon during its revolution around the earth and also to display solar and lunar eclipses.
Hypothesis: I think that by following the procedure, I will successfully complete this lab in showing the phases of the moon throughout its revolution and the solar and lunar eclipses because I am moving the moon correctly.
Independent variable: Movement of the moon
Dependent variable: Phases of the moon and the lunar and solar eclipses
Materials:
1. Tape
2. Scissors
3. Model Earth
4. Ruler
5. Pen/marker
6. Piece of string cut to 80 in. long and marked every 10 inches
7. Light equip with working bulb (acts as the Sun)
8. Model of the Moon
9. 3 people all together to demonstrate moon phases and eclipses
Procedure (Phases of the Moon):
1. Gather materials.
2. Take the string and fold it in half so that it equals 160 inches.
3. Mark the string every 20 inches (this should equal to 8 marks around the strings).
4. Place the string on the floor with tape making a circle.
5. Choose 3 people to represent the Earth, Sun and Moon.
6. Place the person representing the Earth on the outside of the circle, the person holding the Moon on the circle (making sure they are holding the moon in their arm, away from their body), and the person representing the Sun on the other side (approximately 3 feet) of the string. When finished the persons should be in the following order: 1.
Sun 2. Moon 3. Earth.
7. Turn the light on making sure it is facing the Moon and the Earth.
8. The person holding the Moon should begin at the first point marked on the circle and continue to, (with their arm), move the Moon around the Earth completely around the circle.
9. Observe the phases of the Moon.
Procedure (Solar Eclipse):
1.The 3rd person is now needed to hold up the Moon in between the Earth and the sun (making sure they, as a body, are not blocking the "sun's" light).

"Its hazards are hostile to us all. Its conquest deserves the best of all mankind, and its opportunity for peaceful cooperation may never come again. But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas? We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy...
What is the difference between a'smart' and a'smart'? 2). Cholly was four days old when his Mother planted him on top of a junk heap. His great Aunt Jimmy plucked him out and took him home to rear. She loved him and he had a sense of belonging to a family, but he asked her, "Who was my father? " "Where does he live?" He had a name and place now, and who knew, maybe he could find his Dad. That became his dream.
Homeschooling offers students a more time efficient education that allows the student to focus on education in which is the sole purpose for school. Homeschooling also gives the teacher a thorough evaluation of a student’s strengths and weaknesses by visually seeing what subjects they excel in and what subjects they are weak in. At this point students can increase their individual progression in each subject. Homeschooling permits control of the environment a student learns in to retain the focus of the student. This will reduce the chances of drug usage, bullying, and violence. Samuel Blumenfeld said this on the importance of homeschooling “The home is a safe haven for the children in a world awash with drugs, sexually transmitted diseases, violence, and moral corruption” (Cindy Mur et al.76). When parents come to realize that the home is the safest place for their children, then will they act as Blumenfeld concludes “I look forward to the day when the public schools will be virtually empty not because we have abolished public education but because the parents will have abandoned it” (Cindy Mur et al.
On May 25, 1961, Congress met in a joint session to hear the American president, John F. Kennedy, address them in a speech he referred to as a second State of the Union. In his speech, the young president geared America for a race that would send men to the moon. Kennedy challenged America to “take longer strides” and to take a “leading role in space achievement, which, in many ways, may hold the key to our future on earth” (Burrows 330-331). America rose to the challenge, and within a decade, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were walking on the moon, becoming the first of the human race to walk on a world besides our own. The giant strides of which Kennedy challenged us soon slowed to a crawl, however, and after a few more missions, America would not go back again, possibly for good. America would soon turn its attention to other earthly issues, and its moon program would become nothing more than a memory. This gives rise to an inevitable question: should humans return to the moon? This question has haunted us for years, continuously rising and then fading away again. In recent months, new discoveries have brought it to the forefront, and with these new discoveries, the answer becomes obvious: humans should once again set their sights for the heavens, and putting a civilian lunar base and colony on the moon should be our next step.

In order to answer this question, one needs to understand that every person comes from a different background and that everyone has a different way to perceive the world. Thus, the starting point for understanding what it means to be a human would be choosing a specific worldview approach. According to Paul Hiebert (an American missiologist) worldview is defined as “the fundamental cognitive, affective, and evaluative presuppositions a group of people make about the nature of things, and which they use to order their lives”. (quote here) In other words, the way one comprehends life and the world at large. This explanation is generally accepted by society. However, there is not a single definition completely agreed upon all. The main worldview approaches discussed in class are: naturalistic, postmodern, and theistic. I will base my answer on the theistic approach, for it has provided solid
I have never pondered on such a question of what it means to be a human being. What it means to be a human being is not just having a face, eyes, heart, or being able to drive a car, or to own a house. Being a human being is much more than that, deeper and more passionate. Being a human being is to have the ability to having rational thought and to think deeply. Being a human is finding a meaning or a purpose.
China has approximately 20% of the world’s population, which is around 1.3 billion people (Morris, 2009, p. 111). Also, China has become one of the worlds biggest manufacturing countries within 30 years (Fawssett, 2009, p. 27). However, such rapid development has come at a cost, which has created various environmental problems. Coincidentally, China has 16 cities on a list of the 20 worst polluted cities in the world (Fawssett, 2009, p. 15). Therefore, this essay will explain the reasons for China’s environmental problems, then evaluate the claim that the Chinese government and people, are tackling these environmental problems. First, crop farming techniques over the last hundred years, and their consequences will be explained. Followed by, how peoples choice in food has changed over the last hundred years, and how this indirectly affects the environment. Then, how a capitalist economy is linked to agriculture, and finally what the Chinese government and people are doing to tackle these problems.

Homeschooling greatly diminishes the peer pressure a student receives from peers at a traditional school. This enables students to focus on studies rather than trying to fit in or impress others. Kids are able to learn material and pass material at their own pace when being homeschooled. Students do not have to spend a week of class time to learn a particular lesson like in a traditional classroom setting. The student would be able to learn the lesson in a few hours. Homeschool students are more likely to advance at a faster pace, therefore, learning more in a homeschool setting. Parents and students of homeschooling also do not have to work their schedules around the schools schedule. The student has more independence to wake up at a more appropriate time and perform better in their studies. The amount of sleep preteens and teens get, and the time classes begin, are critical to how they perform in those classes. Also, no time is wasted in homeschooling. Many times in a traditional school students are assigned homework that is meaningless, or “busy work”. Homeschoolers do not receive busy work, and can make better time of their learning by doing the necessary work that they personally need. Homeschooling does provide positive results. A nationwide peer-reviewed research project shows that on standardized tests homeschool students perform in average of the 60th to the 88th national percentile. Whereas, traditional school students only perform at an average of the 50th percentile on standardized
“That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind,” I say as I step out from Eagle, our lunar module, and place my foot on the powdery and silver moon. It’s 10:56 p.m. and the whole world is watching me. I’ve never thought this moment in my life would be so important to the world.

The definition of humanity is the human race, or human beings collectively. Another definition says that it’s the quality or state of being human. So, what exactly is this? Some people say that it’s a virtue, meaning to befriend and tend to others. Nelson Mandela once said “To deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity.” This means that denying people their rights takes away a sense of humanity. What is the true meaning of humanity?
