   Should We Increase The Use Of Tidal Energy And Wave Energy 
By: Owen Sheils

                          We should increase the use of Tidal Energy and Wave Energy for cities that live near the coast because Tidal Energy is the most consistent and most powerful out of all renewable energy,  because it runs on rise and fall of tides by using turbines to capture the force of the waters current.  This is a reliable source of energy to power a city after a natural disaster because the more the wind picks up in a natural disaster meaning that when the tide rises then the water current picks up causing the turbine underwater to increase the power of energy being produced.  Showing the diffrence in all other forms of renewable energy, because if you use solar power there is a chance that a tree or projectile will destroy it and if you use a turbine then when the wind picks up there is a chance of one of the turbines blades may fly off in the high winds and dams may flood in heavy rain storms because it wouldn't be able to take on a lot of water.

                              This is about how we should change most of the energy citites near the coast are using because I have found a new source that we could use to power cities near the coast.  We should switch because lusing this energy gives you the same energy you have everyday unlike other forms of enrgy which gives you a little to a lot all the time but aren't getting the consistant high powered energy that you would be getting from Tidal Energy.  This makes a good form of consistant and high power energy can make natural didsasters easy to get through with it based on being under water. 

                               This form of energy is not good for people living in the middle of the country and next to a lake because in the middle of a country there is not really a place for Tidal Energy because the only form of water is a river but there would not be enough room for the turbines to be installed even though it would probably give you a lot of power for electricity it just wouldn't fit.  Another form of water that you would be wondering if you could use is a lake but a lake is a place where water usually stays still and does not move meaning that even though the turbines may fit it will give of none to a little form of power to make electricity because there isn't much of a current.

              This could power a lot of cities on the coast because it is consistent and with global warming there is more area to put this form of water and if the tides rise more than before there is more energy to be captured by the turbines underwater that collect the tides currrent even during a natural disaster meaning that it would produce more energy which makes it a good source of energy to switch too.

Mahar-ullah Shahminah- Molecular Gastronomy

Molecular Gastronomy   By: Shahminah Mahar-ullah Date:3/22/19 Molecular Gastronomy is both a fusion of science and cooking. The scientific discipline gives the chef complete control of what the texture, taste, and physical appearance of the dish. Molecular Gastronomy is a modern unique style of cooking that some would say it could be considered art. There are three aspects of Molecular Gastronomy, as i said before it is texture,taste,and physical appearance. Molecular Gastronomy can have a very simple and familiar taste or a new and unique taste. Taste is often a aspect that is forgotten about in Molecular Gastronomy. Mostly because people who don't know much about the style of cooking kinda forget that its actually cooking ,not just some form a science. Taste is the main focus with cooking in general and with molecular cooking taste can be brought to a whole new level since you have complete control over each part of the dish. Same goes for physical appearance and ...

Chemically termolecular reactions: The fourth class of chemical reactions

Chemically termolecular reactions: The fourth class of chemical reactions Maisy Chase Up until now only three classes of chemical reactions were known. Unimolecular reactions occur when one reactant undergoes bond breaking or forming to create different products. Bimolecular reactions are where two reactants collide and then undergo bond breaking or forming. Termolecular association reactions, where two reactants collide to form a whole with a new chemical bond between the two reactants. A third molecule, known as the bath gas, then removes some of the internal kinetic energy of that molecule to stabilize it. Researchers from Columbia University , led by Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering Michael P. Burke, have discovered a fourth class of chemical reaction known as “chemically termolecular reactions.” This involves the breaking and bonding of three molecules. The team showed that these chemically termolecular reactions not only are major chemical pathways but also ...

Force and Motion

Zach Fluck Science blog Force and Motion Blog Sir Isaac Newton was an English astronomer, physicist, and mathematician, born on December 25, 1642. He died on March 20, 1727, most likely from mercury poisoning or old age. However, during his life, he made several contributions to modern science and advanced our understanding of physics tremendously. Arguably his most famous discovery was gravity. However, he had to use his 3 laws of motion to make this accomplishment. Newton understood that an object at rest will stay at rest, unless acted on by unbalanced forces. Therefore, if an object such as an apple is in a resting position there must be a force to make the apple fall to the ground. He discovered this invisible force to be gravity. At a young age Newton was removed from school to be a farmhand. Despite returning to school the turning point in his live was he left his hometown to attend Cambridge University. After attending Cambridge he returned to his hometown where his observat...
