The Greenhouse Effect

I put a thermometer in a glass jar and turned on a lamp. This will heat up the thermometers creating the temperature to rise. About every twenty to thirty seconds, the temperature would rise about two degrees. In around five minutes, the temperature raised to about ninety five degrees. The way this happened is that the glass would absorb the heat and keep some while the other heat goes into the thermometer just like our greenhouse effect.

T.V. Relates to Science

I recently watch Spongebob Squarepants, and I saw science in it. Sqiudward got locked in a freezer and went to the future. There, he knew he had to get back. So the Spongebobs of the future gave him a time mahine to use. Then Squidward went to the past by accident he there invented things. This connects to science by the time machine. The time machine was invented and made of electrical items and power. Squidward also invented some things in the past that was used in the present day. That relates because it was invented lke all great scientists do. This shows that television can relate to science even if it's a cartoon like Spongebob.

Snowacane

This snowstorm that we have had recently, is related to a hurricane. A hurricane forms by having warm water and air. When the warm air from the water rises, making low pressure and cold air below it. The snowstorm we just had is just the same exept as the process was happening, snow fell because of the high level of cold air. The wind was shy of the power of hurricane wind. The waind was knocking over trees and powerlines all day. We had about one to two feet of snow during this storm. This effected the community because no one was permitted to drive on the roads and some trees were knocked down and power was out for hours.

How Toothpick Bridges Have To Do With Math

In our math class, we have been building toothpick bridges. How does this relate to math you might ask? Well there can be many inequalities in building anything. Foe example, if the maximum height of the bridge is 44 centimeters, then an inequality would be x<44 cm. Another mathematical way of thinking in the way of building is when you have to make sure you know how high you want it to be or how long. An example of this is that you can make a one to one inch scale on a graph paper if building a toothpick bridge. But if you were building a real bridge it could be a one to one hundredth scale on graph paper. One last way that building a toothpick bridge could relate to math is because the whole system of solving a math problem is the same. When building a bridge, you need a reason why to build which relates to a problem in a math problem. Next, you need the work on the bridge, which relates to the work on solving a problem. Finally, you will have an answer on weather or not your bridge can hold enough weight or not, which relates to having an answer to a problem. Then you get an A+ on both if math is done correctly. These are some of the many reasons why building a toothpick bridge can be important to a math students curriculum.

First Complete Robot

Hanson Robotics introduced the world's first complete robot on September 13, 2007. According to their website, their robot has a fantastic combination of an expressive face, a walking body, vision, speech and hearing. As much fun as the robot appears to be, I was impressed by the Albert Einstein creation on their website. The video demos the walking robot and clearly shows the life-like facial movements it looks like a real guy.This robot costs tens of thousands of dollars and rising probably. Currently, this robot is 17 inches tall and 6 pounds, it is the only robot listed. However, several HumanKind models exist, including:

1. Joey Chaos: the Humanoid Rock Star.
2. A collaboration of East and West: The Albert.
3. A robotic humanoid sculpture named Vera.
4. Jules, our androgynous conversationalist.
5. The best of all worlds: Eva.
6. One of the first: Yargh-bot.
7. A robotic portrait of Philip K. Dick who is not for sale.
Some of the features are followed:
- Make over 62 facial and neck muscles.
- Embedded micro-cameras providing vision.
- Has the latest in A.I. software technology for face and speech understanding.
- Portable and can run on up to 1/20 the power required for other products.
- Connects with standard computers.
- Can function in many research environments, including computer vision.
