Hi Im going to take a test in science and its open notes so i need a little help on some things on rivers just general like defenitions and i was also wondering what happens to the land when a cave in happens to a cave? Thank you so much!!

Hi im in the sixth grade and i am comfused with a project where were suppost to make a topographic map and model and model and i was wondering if anyone had anyone had any links to a page where it shows you how? Thanks so much!!!

I have a nicely built shed (Amish style) 24X10, inside that shed I built a room that is 10 feet wide by 8 feet deep. Inside the room I insulated the walls and sheet rocked them as well. I have a small vent (side vent that was already installed that actually is part of the wall and a cut a small hole in the other wall of the sheet rock to allow air to pass. I had a small garden that grew in early spring of 06 into the fall of 06 with no problems. The light inside was about 1000 watts and all in all the tempature in the room was 70 degrees inside while a bit warmer outside. As the seasons began to get cooler outside the shed 50 and 40 degrees the tempature remained 70 …

This stemmed from the fuel taxes thread in the politics forum, and a front page I was reading while waiting for a work colleague. Basically this is a think tank for waste reduction, I'll give you a couple of examples and the more bright ideas the better... In Italy, rather than chucking their wine bottles away it's possible to get refills at the off-license. In Greece, rather than buying olive oil in small expensive bottles, they take aluminum containers to the source (olive orchards.) Rather than throwing my plastic bags away (after shopping) I use them to wrap my sandwiches for work. There's plenty more I could think of, but you get the idea. So if you h…

I would appreciate any help I could get with this. Keep in mind that this is a simple layout, some things may be finished in the list but most are not. Essentially I am asking of fun activities you have done pertaining to science around k5-5th grade.* Below (in [ code ] tag) is what I have so far and if you have any ideas it would be so helpful. The Grades obviously represent what grade level the activity is from. //++ //Kindergarten //++ http://classroom.jc-schools.net/sci-units/cells.htm (Science Online Cells) [Cell Structure and Function] Need: Students Needed: Guide: 1) Self (No sources) [Examining Ants]…

Not sure if this is in the right forum, but thought I would ask. I believe in natural medicine and I also believe that there is a time and place for pharmaceutical drugs. I've been seeing a chiropractor and we discussed Adrenal Stress Disorder. He recommended a supplement called ADB5-plus (made by Biotics Research Corporation) for adrenal support since my adrenal gland is not producing enough cortisol. Here are the ingredients.....and there are vitamins and minerals in there too.....but I was just curious to know about the Parotid Tissue (bovine) and the Lamb Pituitary/Hypothalmus Complex (ovine). Anyone know what this is and is it harmful??? Also....I noticed that …

I wanted to let everyone know about a website that I've built. It is http://www.science-facts.com. It's a pretty simple website that i hope can teach you some very neat facts. thanks

Some of you may have heard the old rhyme that goes "Red sky at night, sailors delight. Red sky in the morning, sailors warning". It basically means that if the sky is red when the sun sets, then the next day should be a clear and sunny day. And if the sky is red while the sun rises, then the weather will be miserable. I live in the southern hemisphere where the sunrises in the east and sets in the west, and I have found this saying to be usually correct. Can anyone please explain to me why this is? Has it something to do with air pressure? I don't think its pollution because there is little to none where I live.

Time and time again, people on here seem to completely ill define science, especially recently, and it's getting really boring and a waste of time for others trying to explain it. Is there any chance of a sticky or something that defines science precisely, no blurring with philisophical or religious arguments, no discrediting of science because a theory is incomplete (groan...I hate that one) just a concise, and solid definition, so for anybody that can't seem to understand what science actually is, can be given a link, and hopefully it will stop people rubbishing science because they can't define it correctly. If there already is one, apologies, I couldn't find…

well if you have AIM please IM me Live On a Stage if you can help me with the planets i just need to know like size, atmosphere, weather, surface, number of moons, and relative position to the sun but its certain planets. and i really dont feel like going to to google. no one has what i need. PLEASE HELPME!

I need help with hw .. heres the question please correct me if i am rong Ice is put in a cooler in order to cool the contents. To speed up the cooling process, the ice can be A. Wrapped in newspaper B. Kept out of contact with the food C. crushed. D. Drained of Ie water periodicly. ANSWER: C. crushed. <-- pretty sure Crushed will have a larger surface area, therefore a larger area that can be cooled at once A volume of air has a temperature of 0degrees Celsius. An equal volume of air that is twice as hot has a temperature of A. 100degree Celsius B. 0degree Celsius C. 2degree Celsius * i think its this one not sure* D. 273degree Celsius ANSWER: B. 0…

In 1873, James Clerk Maxwell stated: ["Maxwell quote"]"The most universal standard of length which we could assume would be the wavelength of a particular kind of light... Such a standard would be independent of any changes in the dimensions of the earth, and should be adopted by those who expect their writings to be more permanent than that body." This statement was made during the debate on whether the British should adopt the metric system. Maxwell thought that a "natural" length should be selected as a standard of length. The total metric package was intended to make commercial transactions easier, and the scientific community was encouraged to go along with th…

Hi, Is there anyone who accepts that there are two moons and suns for our earth? Thanks..

Hi bloggers! I am researching for my honours dissertation the financial impact of climate change in sustainable buildings [i.e. build costs in cheap(er) housing due to global warming]. Do you think that global warming is a bad thing? I expect taxes to increase in the constrution industry as they are seen as major contributors to the problem by producing large amounts of waste, CO2 emissions, management inefficiency. Is this a bad thing...? ps- I am a 'Green' enthusiast

What's the biggest molecule you can think of that forms a gas at standard temperature and pressure? Or, what's the densest possible gas at STP?

I was doing some research on NOAA about weather conditions and come across super typhoons can someone explain to me what makes a super typhoon

What is the equation for caluculating dewpoint temperature? I thought it incorporated SFC temperatures, and relative humidity...but I don't know the equation. Can anyone please help me out. Thanks.

some light fixtures in my mothers house have stopped working properly, i took a look at one of them today. the junction box is covered in something black. it almost looks like rust, but its the wrong color. the wires inside look damaged, two of them are exposed at certain points. i cant find information on problems that sound like this on google. my first thought was that wires over heated or some other fire/spark related problem. but the wires themselves dont look like theyve been burned. im starting to think this might be more of a job for an electrician. any thoughts to help me out here?

hello how are you doing please help me with this question If you were ocean-sailing at night between islands in the trade wind belt, how could you use the waves to help you maintain your course? thank you.

I did a search for this question so apologies if this has already been asked, but this has been bugging me recently. As many people know, as you get older, time appears to speed up. When you're young, your summer holidays appear to go on forever, but 6 weeks at my age seems no time at all. Now I know this has something to do with your biological clock slowing down, but why does the effect of that make you percieve time as speeding up ? I'm probably missing something obvious here, but can anyone explain this.

Why is 1159 am immediately followed by 1200 pm & 1159 pm followed by 1200am ? Should not 1200 noon be 12 am ( & 1201 be pm as it is ) & 1200 midnight be 1200am ? To add European & UK timetables use the 24 hour clock which seems to me to make more sense than US timetables where pm's are listed in heavy print & on a 12 hour clock cycle .

Moving a copper wire (or other conductor) through a magnetic field causes electric current to flow in the wire (as in generators). On an atomic level, what is it about the magnetic field that generates the electric current in the wire?

I apologise in advance if this is a dumb or inapropriate question. I must admit that I haven't read anything on this forum site and do not know the scope of what topics are covered here. I only wish to know about something that has been bugging me this past week. I was finished with work for the day, and was waiting for an ok from the boss to leave. He had the engine running in his truck, and I noticed that I could see the swirling shadows of the exhaust from his tailpipe, but could not see the exhaust gasses themselves. So, I am wondering what it was in the exhaust that caused the shadows, and why I haven't noticed other non-visible objects or particles causing s…
