How Global Warming is Affected by Physical and Chemical Change

    Global warming is one of earth's largest natural crisis today. If you don’t know what that is, global warming is the heating of the earth. Over many years humans have used many different resources, natural and unnatural, to create all types of power. The greenhouse effect is now causing an extreme increase in carbon dioxide. One of our biggest questions about global warming is, does matter have anything to do with this? Is global warming a physical, or chemical change?
    A chemical change is a process where one or more substances are mixed into another substance. For example, burning wood, or salt dissolving in a glass of water are both examples of chemical change. What that means is that a physical change is a process in which the substance experiencing change in its physical properties such as how it looks, it’s shape, it’s size, and it’s color. Knowing these things, I began to wonder if global warming had to do with chemical or physical change.
    After looking at articles about physical and chemical change, I realized that global warming is both of them. Chemical change because we burn many different oils, woods, and more and by burning non reusable resources we are creating more carbon dioxide. Global warming is connected to physical change because since the earth's temperature is increasing, Causing ice to melt quicker in colder places around the world. This is leading up water worldwide is rising. Eventually this will get too severe and humans and animals living along the coast lines will have to move further inland.
    My overall question was that I was wondering if chemical or physical change effects global warming. I learned that depending on what step of global warming you are talking about. Having it include both was more challenging to research but was much more interesting to learn about. Now knowing how chemical and physical changes affect global warming, I definitely think that we should do more to save our planet.

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 ...

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 ...

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...
