Supersolids

"ScienceDaily (June 25, 2010) — New experiments are casting doubt on previously reported observations of supersolid helium. In a paper appearing in the current issue of Physical Review Letters (PRL), John Reppy (Cornell University) presents research suggesting that prior experiments that seemed to show signs of supersolidity were in fact the result of the plastic deformation of normal helium.

THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS.

Blackberry Curve, Mumford and Sons, Modest Mouse, a Kangaroo hat (for Chaz), moccasins and of course my Longchamp bag. :)

Elephant Toothpaste AKA catlysts

Our experiment with catalysts was elephant toothpaste. We put dish soap, hydrogen peroxide, iodine, and water together to create a big fluffy mixture called elephant toothpaste (Well it was supposed to be big and fluffy, but too much dish soap ruins it) Anyways when these items were combined it made a chemical reaction that would create the big fluff. That was elephant toothpaste.

ELIZABETH EXTON is awesome and this was a fun experiment. LEAVING class NOW

bye kids

omg. lets learn this.

this is awesome. :D

WATCH ME

this is the best video. i love it.

The atom life so far....

The atom life begins when Democritus, an ancient philosopher, started the atom life. He discovered atoms and found out that atoms are always moving, are indestructible, and what lies between atoms is empty space. Well a long long time after Democritus, Dalton rolled around. Dalton discovered that one atom can combine with another, all atoms of a given element are identical, and that atoms cannot be created, destroyed, or separated into pieces. He was also the creator of the "beach ball" model.  Years after Dalton died.....J.J Thomson was created! Eventually Thomson became a scientist, and he discovered the electron. He explored the cathader rays, and found out that rays could be deflected in a magnetic field. He thought these things were waves, but actually they were what he called "corpuscles", things composed of light negatively charged particles. This later became the ELECTRON. He was also the creator of the "berry muffin" model. After Thomson died, Ernest Rutherford comes along. He was one of Thomson's students, and he proved his teacher WRONG! He did the gold foil experiment, and ended up finding the proton, a positively charged particle, opposite of the electron. He also found out that the majority of the atom's mass is found in the nucleus. Thus, he created the peach pit model. Sadly...people get old, so Rutherford died. :( Luckily, Niels Bohr comes along, and reverses the atom model, which now shows the "orbiting" electrons. This is also known as the "onion" model. After Bohr does what he can, Chadwick steps in. Chadwick discovers the neutron, the negatively charged part of the atom. Because of this discovery, he won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1935. He also created the most modern-looking model with a proton, a neutron, and the cloud of electrons. After Chadwick left the earth, Shroedinger comes in. He decided to focus more on how to find the electrons and where they would be. Also while doing that, he made the foundations for the "quantam mechanics", or the most recent atom model.
