Passion 4 Studying

 

  Perhaps one holds a piece of paper - a dull, blank piece of paper. Then, they might wonder, "Where did this paper come from? How was it even made!?" Suddenly, a swarm of questions float around their head, and they apply the inquiry question to each of their questions to feed their curiosity. And maybe, just maybe, their questions eventually lead them to... How Paper is Made!!! We might be familiar with the paper pulp and tree cutting steps, but what is the whole process? Logs are accumulated.  In this step, trees are cut down so that logs can be acquired for the next step. Debarking & chipping.  The bark cannot be used. Alas, it is stripped from the logs. Pulping . Machines break down the lignin the logs, creating pulp! Papermaking.  The paper is inserted into a papermaking machine and squirted through a horizontal slit so that any excess water from the logs can be squeezed out. Sheet.  The fibres in the pulp begin to spread, taking a sheet form. Water squeezing.  50% o

Introduction The Canadian Confederation took place in 1867. Before the confederation, there were six main factors that gradually resulted in confederation. In this presentation, we will be talking about the railway issue, changes in British attitudes, American invasion, political deadlock, and   cancellation of the Reciprocity Treaty. We hope you enjoy it! Railway Issue Two people involved with this factor include George-Etienne Cartier from Canada East and Alexander Galt. They had ties with railway companies but were disappointed to see that the Grand Trunk Railway (which linked Toronto and Montréal) was not doing well financially, due to the lack of passengers and freight traffic within the Canadas. Additionally, the Baring Brothers thought of the idea that Confederation would solve the issue and food producers (in the Maritimes) and manufacturers (in the Canadas) believed that the trade that the railways would bring would benefit them.  Before Confederation, the main sources of tran

BIOGRPAHY Aretha Louise Franklin was a singer, pianist, songwriter, and civil rights activist. Aretha Franklin was born on March 25, 1942, and died on August 16, 2018. At the time of her death, she was 76 years old. She was known as the legendary “Queen of Soul”, who won 18 Grammy awards and was the first woman to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Aretha Franklin was also a supporter of civil and women’s rights throughout her life. Aretha Franklin has influenced numerous soul, R&B, and pop artists all over the world. Her influences can still be seen in musicians like Beyoncé, Jennifer Hudson, and Adele.  Aretha was born in Memphis, Tennessee, United States, on March 25, 1942. She was the fourth child of five children. Her father, Clarence LaVaughn Franklin, was a Baptist and preacher, while her mother, Barbara Siggers Franklin, was a piano player and vocalist. Aretha had a very tough childhood. By the time Aretha was six, her family separated and four years later, Ar

Why Does Ice Float on Water? Have you ever wondered why ice is always floating on top of the water? You would think, water is a liquid and ice is a solid, since solids contract while cooling, their volumes increase, and the density would decrease. Thus, denser objects like ice would sink in water. But it doesn’t! When the water is 35 degrees celsius, the water molecules are moving freely and running past each other. When the temperature drops to 4 degrees celsius, as mentioned in the particle theory, temperature affects the speed of the particles. The water molecules will move and run less. At this point, they are taking less space. If the temperature continues to drop, you might think that molecules will be closely packed together, which means decreasing volume and increasing density. But it is NOT what happens. Water behaves abnormally when it is cooled due to its unique molecular structure. Water has a special interaction between molecules, which is called a hydrogen bond. As we all

The Functions of Ophiocordyceps unilateralis: a Scientific Article *do not copy or it will count as plagiarism* Ophiocordyceps unilateralis is just as complicated as it sounds! It's an insect-pathogenic fungal parasite that infects and manipulates ants, and it's also known as zombie ant fungus. Ophiocordyceps unilateralis is found in tropical forests and in many moist places where it can thrive safely. It is one of the many species of Cordyceps, which is a genus full of manipulating fungi, which each infects a different insect. In this case, ants are the victim.  To summarize the process, active Ophiocordyceps unilateralis spores infect ants and force the ants to climb onto the stem of a leaf and bite it with an extreme force so that it wouldn't fall off. Then, the ant dies and a stroma - the main fungus stem - erupts from the back of the ant's head and releases more spores. Although not confirmed, many researchers (like Charissa de Bekker) say that the mind control is

 LCM Passion4studying.blogspot.com In this article, we will be discussing what LCMs are and what the ladder method is. LCM In order to know how to add and subtract fractions, we need to know what LCM means. LCM stands for "least common multiple", and it's the smallest multiple two numbers share. For example, the LCM of 12 and 24 is 24, since 24 is a multiple of both numbers, and it's the smallest out of all the common multiples both numbers share, such as 48 and 72. Now, let's discuss the ladder method, which is used to find LCM The ladder To use the ladder method, we must first make an L shape and put our numbers in the L (make sure there's space between them), like this: Then, we must put a factor of both of these numbers on the left of the L, as shown below: Next, we will divide our numbers by the factor they both share, and put the result below the L., like so: And then we continue on and on until we can't divide any further, like above. When we can
