Pollution in L.A.

Give a history of pollution and where it comes from. How it can harm the planet and humans. Give history of when pollution started heavy in Los Angeles and how it progress from factories and cars to all kinds of other carbon in the air and where it comes from. A detailed history of the problem of pollution in Los Angeles.

about gravity, electricity, and magnetism as major forces acting in nature.

S8P5. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about gravity, electricity, and magnetism as major forces acting in nature.

a. Construct an argument using evidence to support the claim that fields (i.e., magnetic fields, gravitational fields, and electric fields) exist between objects exerting forces on each other even when the objects are not in contact.

b. Plan and carry out investigations to demonstrate the distribution of charge in conductors and insulators. (Clarification statement: Include conduction, induction, and friction.)

c. Plan and carry out investigations to identify the factors (e.g., distance between objects, magnetic force produced by an electromagnet with varying number of wire turns, varying number or size of dry cells, and varying size of iron core) that affect the strength of electric and magnetic forces. (Clarification statement: Including, but not limited to, generators or motors.)

White Bread Kitchen Chemistry Project

Participants in this project will research the chemical reactions involved in the baking or cooking of a specific food. In a nutshell, you will find the recipe of food you would like to bake or cook and explain the chemical reactions occurring every 2 steps of the recipe.
Only the RESEARCH, MATERIALS, and PROCEDURE sections are required.
The document gives examples to you.

Boundary Dispute

Professors Instructions:
“…if one state wants to limit immigration, while the other does not, a dispute may arise.” There are countless examples of this around the world today, not least of which is what is happening just south of Tucson. Briefly describe one situation that falls under this heading in the world today (or choose another type of dispute if you want), making sure you articulate the position of each state. How are these states navigating the border conflict you have selected? What internal or exterior forces are there to help mediate or reduce these conflicts?

Analyzing culture

Professors Instructions:
Consider the Geography of Language or Religion in the context of a Walking Tour Map of Downtown Tucson:

(https://tucsonpresidio.com/content/turquoise-trail-map)

Consider four specific place names or religious locations found in this map (at least one of each) and describe the geographic connections between this place and the culture of Tucson and your perspective about who or what these place names represent.

If you had to rename one place in town, what would the new name be and explain your choice.

Take a few moments and review the naming system introduced in Chapter 3 for inorganic and molecular compounds. Next use the Internet and do a little research into the taxonomic system used in zoology. When answering the question for the discussion, think about the basic purpose of naming something, which is to provide a name which tells the reader exactly what it is. For example, Felis domesticus is a common domesticated household cat, compared to Panthera tigris which is a tiger. The genus (Felis and Panthera) and species (domesticus and tigris) tell us exactly what the organism is. Names for compounds and elements have the same type of specificity.
‘After reviewing the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC ) naming system and zoological taxonomic naming system, write a thoughtful and complete answer to the question:

1. How are the IUPAC molecular naming system and the zoological taxonomic naming system similar and how are they different?

The concept of the mole is, for some, very difficult to grasp, but its really quite simple. Much like a dozen, its a fixed number, which is Avogadros number. This makes it very useful to count large numbers of very small things like atoms and molecules and electrons.

After reviewing the concept of a mole, write a thoughtful, complete, but concise essay explaining how the concept of a mole was arrived at and where Avogadros number comes from

Newton’s 2nd Law

There is no necessary format. This was an experimental lab for my physics class. I completed the lab and collected all the data and results, the report is the only thing that i need done. I am not sure how many pages it will take but i’ve done another report myself and it took no more than 3 pages as far as the writing part of the report (no data table or graph included). I included the data and graph to reference and help with the report because you would need to know these numbers. When it comes to the data & analysis, don’t worry about the data table and graph, just the analysis part. Please read very carefully for my professor is extremely precise with his instructions, i am also attaching a document for the guidelines of the error analysis, for he only accepts certain sources of error. Thank you so much, i really wanted to do it myself but i don’t have the time at this point, so your work is very much appreciated.

It would be a paper based on the attached draft.

Instructions for the draft to develop into the final paper:
there are some problems to be addressed as you proceed:
1) You will need more sources
2) You need an outline or at least a general idea of the topics you want to cover.  Why not start with the assumption that your final paper will have 6 paragraphs (2 per page times 6 pages)?
3) sketch out the content of those paragraphs.  For example, one could (should) be and explanation of what amber in general is, how it forms, why it is of geologic interest (it preserves fossils), and perhaps brief mention of its use in jewelry.  Another paragraph could talk about Burmese amber in particular, how much of it there is, what kind of fossils are found in it, any other physical peculiarities (color perhaps?).  You’ve begun to talk about the regional geology of the Hukawng Valley, and that’s a paragraph.  It would include brief description of the major rock types and most prominent structures (folds, faults, whatever is there).  Ages of the rocks could come in this spot.  And it looks like you will want to tackle the tectonics of the region, another paragraph.  What has caused the deformation? 
See the Google doc for comments on what you have written.
The attached article looks like it could be helpful, but don’t ignore easier sources like Brittanica, Wikipedia (sometimes), https://geology.com/usgs/amber/, straight-ahead Google searches (sometimes worthwhile), etc.

General instructions for the paper:
Each student will prepare a 750 word research paper describing the geology of a locality with which they are most familiar, (e.g. their home town or region) or about which they have particular interest (e.g. Mt. Vesuvius).  Papers must provide sources (citations) for all facts provided and a bibliography.  The bibliography must include a minimum of one peer-reviewed scientific article.  Papers must include at least one geologic map of the locality or region discussed. The map, any other figures and the bibliography do not count in the 750 words required.  The paper should discuss the following topics: What types of bedrock are in the region?  How old are the rocks?  By what methods were rock ages determined? How were the rocks formed? For each type of rock, what was the tectonic environment during during formation? Is the region tectonically active today? What natural hazards and natural resources are associated with the region? Is the region expected to experience any effects of climate change?
