There are 10 different types of clouds up in the sky. Next, for practice at recognizing different clouds I’ve also included a daily cloud journal. In this cloud journal, you should look up in the sky and draw 3 different clouds you see and then in your own words write down wha ..read more

Section 1: Introduction
A. I have always enjoyed relaxing in a hot tub with my favorite candles burning, soothing me in their various aroma therapy. As I would lay there watching my candles burn, it never crossed my mind that the shape of the candle may have something to do with how long it burned for. I always ended up blowing the wicks out of the ones I deemed to be the prettiest, as to save them for another day. Today, for this experiment I will be focusing on the time it takes candles of the same weight, mass, and material but different shapes to burn.

After a thirty-minute jog around your neighborhood, you’re thirsty, out of breath, and most of all, you’re tired. Your legs give way and all you want to do is lay on the ground and rest your tired muscles. But wait a minute, your heart has been pumping this whole time—and seemingly harder than you’ve worked your leg muscles. So why doesn’t your heart feel tired at all?
To answer this question, let’s first recognize that your heart is made up of muscle. But it’s a different type of muscle than the kind in your legs and arms, which are called skeletal muscles. The heart is an organ made of cardi ..read more

The Smithsonian Institution owns one of the largest and most expensive diamonds in the world. The Hope Diamond, which is approximately 45.552 carats weight and estimated to be worth around $400 million dollars. This was originally owned by Tavenier Louis XIV of France Henry Philip Hope. If you think this is a mind-blowing fact, can you imagine a planet full of diamonds?
Astronomers have discovered a planet that is orbiting a sun like star called 55 cancri (Also known as Rho Cancri). It is located just at the end of the Y-shaped constellation Cancer and is about 40 light-years away from Earth ..read more

Chocolate is derived from the seeds of the cacao tree, Theobroma cacao L., which literally translates to “food of the gods.”
Each flower requires pollination to successfully produce a nearly football-sized fruit - a pod containing 30-60 seeds, which can be processed to make chocolate.
Only around 10%-20% of the flowers produced by a cacao tree are successfully pollinated. The rest, up to 90%, never receive pollen - or do not receive enough pollen to create fruits ..read more
