Observation – Magnifying glasses are normally made of convex lenses. A convex lens is thin on the outer edges and are thicker in the center. They bend light inwards towards a focal point. They can be used to make objects appear larger than they actually are. This is accomplished by placing the lens close to the object or item. In this way, the light rays are bent towards the center of the lens creating a focal point. When the bent rays hit the retina, it will make the object appear larger than it
Ever since the magnifying glass was invented in 1250, we have developed ways to help us see better. The Magnifying glass The magnifying glass is one of the earliest devices known that is for optical uses. Ancient Egyptians used shards of crystal or diamond to view abject better. During the reign of Emperor Nero, (37 A.D - 68 A.D) was known to look through an emerald at actors that were on stage, this was so that he could get a better view of them. The first known magnifying glass to be developed
In today’s world technology has become a necessity. Technology is like a coin it has two sides. One is good and other is bad. There are people who believe that growth in technology will sever the connection between one human to another or completely take over humans. However, technology has been very helpful humans. Technology has made people lives much easier. Now days if a person wants to contact his or her friend he can call through a cell phone even if his friend is million miles away. Sure advancement

The telescope has changed the world greatly by being able to make distant objects appear closer and more distinct. It helped scientists to discover things that could not be seen by the naked eye. For example, a lot of things in space would have not been discovered if it were not for the telescope. Also, it helped the world of eyesight. It would not only let you see objects from far away, it would also help you see if you had a problem with it. It could also be used for other things: hunting, war
Inroduction When a patient orders a pair of glasses they first choose a set of frames that suits them. The patient must have a prescription must be written by an optometrist which states the needed lens power and pupil distance (PD). Lenses in the needed power are either ordered or taken from stock. These lenses come from the factory as uncut round blanks approximately four inches across. Edging is the process of cutting these optical lens blanks to fit frames, producing a pair of glasses.
The Wonders Of the Sky Ajanayah Tabb Henning School, Henning MN, United States Teacher: Mr. Hart My purpose in doing this project was so I can inform people about Sundogs. Surely someone has wondered how Sundogs are made, how they are there and why they are there. When I go outside and it’s absolutely frigid, I’m too cold to notice. Even when I’m inside I rarely have time. So I want to tell people like me “The Wonders Of the Sky”. The first thing I had to do was ask myself a question. But there
traditionally been the low suburban density of Melbourne. It is the second tallest building in Australia and the tallest building in Melbourne. One of its main features to the building is its sky deck which can give a 360 degree view of the city. The glass cube also known as the edge extends itself out from the building and is able to hang over the edge of the tower which is also great for viewing. I was lucky enough to visit this beautiful structure last year when I visited Australia. When I travelled
public became aware of the energy crisis, following in the wake of the oil crisis in the 1970s, thus there was a brief setback to the use of glass. Which introduced the use of glass architecture, where architects and engineers, were experimenting on making glass adaptable and releasing its full potential in structures. The use of glass was to capture solar energy, and hence the use of natural sources of energy, in an environmentally compatible way. In addition to these
Science. I like the topic quite a lot, but it’s far too broad for a two page essay – I can and have gone on far longer than that about a single research topic. Now, an essay about the intersection of me and science… Though it’s still an extensive topic, it can be reasonably compressed to a few pages if I skip all the boring details. But all the fun is in the details and I want this to be a fun essay, both for me to write and for you to read. So we’ll have to narrow it down a little further, to
There are so many benefits of water that sometimes we do not even look at the cost of it. Some of the benefits of water can be the taste, health, and convenience. When drinking this water we never look at the effects of it. We do not always benefit from the plastic water bottle. We should consider the environment, and how it may be harming it. What is it that actually makes the water so good and worth buying? How much we can save from no longer using these bottles. An example of this can be seen
probably see several pieces of glass: a window, reading glasses, mirror, computer screen, a lightbulb, maybe even a vase. Glass, with its design, is a vast and innovative material that has countless applications. It is an necessary component of numerous products that we use every day, most often without noticing. Few mass-produced substances add as much to modern living as glass does. It is clear that modern life would not be made possible without the manufacturing of glass. The curious physical, optical
Imagine being in a hall filled with empty bottles scrattered along the floor. Kids shuffle past them with out picking any up. Bottles at strewn about the community, and people are constantly dropping more. I believe bottled water should be banned in schools. Here are my reasons to explain. My first reason bottled water should be banned from schools is because of litter and trash. When I am at school I notice that there are empty and half full bottles in the hall. People drop them or just leave then
Don’t Drink the Water by Woody Allen should be implemented in either history, english or both of them at the highschool level. There are many reason as to why Don’t Drink the Water should be in the classroom at an earlier stage than collage. First of that being the author of the piece itself. Woody Allen is considered one of the finest playwrights of his era. That era being as close as it is today speaks volumes. Another reason being the play is very easy to understand and appealing to high schoolers

When you hear the word 10 million what do you think? It’s a pretty big number, Right? Well, that’s the estimated amount of active landmines left in Afghanistan after wars. Hello classmates and Mr. Pollard. Today I will argue about the production and use of landmines in war. Landmines were invented by the Chinese in 1277. Since their creation there have been countless deaths and injuries caused by these weapons. From 1999 to 2008 there have been a total of 73576 casualties, that’s the same amount
Plastic is used in everything from food containers, to shoe soles, plastic bottles, baby bottles, sippy cups, medical devices, dental sealants, water bottles, specific hard plastics, and reusable water bottles. Additionally, inside these packaged items is a synthetic compound lining that has been used to reinforce these plastics and cans for more than 40 years (Shaw). The packaged plastic that contains newly manufactured items and goods are expected to be safe, sterilized, and reliable enough to

One of the many things I enjoy doing is cleaning my car. Others see this as a grueling and endless task with no benefits. I clean my car as a way to de-stress and I like the satisfaction of having a clean car. It helps me de-stress because I clean my car early in the morning around 9 or 10 o'clock when there is no one on the street. I project myself as a neat and organized person and my car, or rather my parent’s car, reflects that. Would you sit in a car with empty bottles lying around,
darkness. It was late and I was desperately searching for a late night snack to sustain me until the morning. The house was abnormally quiet that night. I could usually hear the gentle whir of the freezer, But not that night. I heard a tap on the glass window, followed by another. Rain began to dance on the gravel outside, and the trees seemed to whisper as a breeze blew through their branches. I remember smiling to myself; I have always loved a summer rainstorm. Food in hand, still half blind
