Orion Sommer Mrs. Weatherington Sophomores--3 September, 2015 I-Search I-Search Plasma A couple of weeks ago, a YouTube channel called "TheGameTheorists" uploaded a video about how the people in Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z harness their Ki and shoot lasers with it. Ever since I watched that video I 've been interested in learning more about plasma. The video is mainly about how these people use plasma to their advantage.

‘Ender’s Game’, a 31-year old science fiction classic, written by Orson Scott Card. It even has a movie which was first released on October 25th, 2013 in the United Kingdoms. This book is recommended for people who love protagonists which are not just their average kid. The story centres on a young boy, Andrew Wiggin (also known as Ender Wiggin). He’s not just your typical 6-year old boy, he’s a genius. I highly recommend that you give it a shot because by the end, Card’s writing will make you…

1. How do humans owe their lives to the deaths of stars? • These stars created us occurring to science. 2. What's a nebula? • A cloud of dust, hydrogen, helium, and gas. 3. Explain the process by which a star is formed. • Gas and dust form in a size 10 times our solar system. 4. What creates a star’s heat/energy (use the words hydrogen and helium in your answer). • Burning hydrogen and converting it into helium. 5. What's the most common type of star? • Red Dwarfs. 6. Why do bigger stars…

There are many spectacular events that happen in the universe. Some events are as common and simple as a sunrise in the morning or the northern lights dancing across the night sky. Other events are less common and hold a beautiful mystic to them like a comet streaking across the sky. Of all the magnificence spectacles that occur in the universe, there are not many that equal the power or beauty of a supernova. Supernovas occur at the end of the star’s life cycle as the star depletes its fuel.…

“Why-? She Gulps. Why do you come, yellow bird?”(Miller 114). Abigail Williams has really outdone it with her lies and craving for vengeance. It all starts with her dancing in the forest, and turns into a huge tempest of pointing fingers and accusing innocent villagers for doing things irrelevant to witchcraft. Driven by vengeance, Abigail Williams, in Arthur Miller’s, The Crucible, Decieves and accuses; ultimately twenty people are hanged unjustly. This girl’s desire for retribution leads to…

to prove some of the Nebulae existed outside of the Milky-Way galaxy. On October 4th, 1923 Hubble discovered a Cepheid Variable star when comparing photos of the Andromeda nebula (later to be named the Andromeda galaxy) taken over previous nights. A Cepheid Variable star can help to determine the distance to the Andromeda nebula from the Milky Way. A Cepheid Variable star is essentially a star that varies in luminosity over a period of time. They pulsate in predictable ways and these pulsations…

more and more gas and dust to me. The inner layers of gas and dust start to warm from the pressure of the gas and dust above. Now the star's heat and light blows away the surrounding gas and dust, and then I could finally be seen in the nebula. What's the nebula? Well, it's kind of a cloud of gas and dust in outer space. When all you young stars get bigger, you will be just as big and bright as me! Moon: Okay, when you come to visit me, you will be quite surprised with all my wonderful…

in the east and Taurus in the west. Rigel is Orion’s brightest star. It is a B81 star with a magnitude of 0.11. It marks the left leg of Orion. At 815 lt-yr, it has a 7th magnitude friend 9” away.

increased to 150 kg and mass 2 stayed the same. The gravitational pull increased 125856 E-6 Newtons. This shows that when the mass increases, this directly affects the force of gravity and this applies to Newton’s Second Law, F=MA. Also, the Solar Nebula Theory lab showed how stars are made. Dust from nebula’s are pulled together from gravity and start fusing together,…
