Assembler

This year I have read these books:

In the beginning of the year, I rarely red books because I lost the habit or reading books. Every time I read a book, I get bored with it right away. But then, I got into a few books and just liked the author;s writing style, so I read more, and more until I started LOVING reading again.

Here it is ———-> Online Poetry Portfolio

Problem/Question:

How do(es)   different size of sediments (independent variable)

affect water drainage in ten minutes (dependent variable)?

Hypothesis:

If  we use bigger size of sediments  (planned change in independent variable),

then water will drain faster through the sediments (predicted change in dependent variable).

I think  bigger size of sediments will drain faster (restate relationship above),

because with bigger sediments  they won’t fill in the small spaces so there will be spaces that aren’t occupied for water to pass through.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       (include background knowledge AND provide references to support your prediction).

Variables:

Materials List:

Include a detailed list of materials (including quantities) needed to carry out the experiment.

| 7. Funnel                                      3                    9. Filter                                          3          

| 8. Graduated Cylinder                  3             

Procedure:

1. Get three graduated cylinders, three filters, and three funnels.

2. Put one funnel on the top of each graduated cylinder.

3. Fold the funnel into 1/4. Then place it on to the funnel.

4. Put 50G of each sediments on the filter.

5. Our in the 50mL of water and start timing with the stop watch.

6. Stop the stop watch at the 10 minute mark and see how much water drained through each experiment.

7. Collect data.

Include an easy-to-follow, step-by-step, set of instructions repeating the experiment.

Data:

Graph

Conclusion:

Our experiment support my hypothesis. It concluded that bigger sediments allow water to drain through easier and faster than smaller sediments. In 10 minutes, 39mL of water passed through the gravel. 21.5mL of water drained from a smaller sediment, sand. and the smallest sediment humus, only had 10mL of water drained through it. From the data you see here, the bigger the sediment, the more the water could be drained through it.

Connect to the Hypothesis – Was it supported or rejected?

Make a concluding statement related to the Problem – Use data to support the statement.

Explain the Data – Provide reasons why the data is what it is and how it connects.

Evaluation:

Our group might have had problems with the timings. We can’t prove ourselves totally on time with the 10 minute mark or that we had the same amount of water and the same amount of sediments. I think we also had problems when pouring the water. I noticed that some water got soaked into the filter, that could’ve affected the outcome.

Once upon a time, a wizard who was called Fred. He is fourteen years old. He was adopted a long time ago  He was determined to destroy all evil in the land because he heard an evil dark magic user has killed his parents. He studied hard in Whisper Hollows and tried to be the best of the best in order to face the dark side. Fred had heard about rumors about the Book of Necronomicon. The book of Necronomicon is said to contain spirits of the most evil wizards of all times. When Fred had heard about the news, he was absolutely determined to get his hands on the book and destroy it once and for all.

In a mansion, not just any mansion, this mansion was filled with experiments and chemicals, there lived a man called Dalthoy. Dalthoy is a scientist, he is forty-five years old, some people say he is mad, but he is still a genius who always inventing and creating.

One day, as Dalthoy was working on inventing a new element, he looked outside the window, and saw a U.F.O sort of thing.

“A U.F.O?”

He rushed into the garage and jumped into his car. He chased the UFO into the forest of Gamlism. It flew really fast and at that moment, Dalthoy took his chance and push the “FLY” button, the car turned into a jet. He continued catching up with the U.F.O. He was holding his camcorder recording everything when suddenly, his camcorder exploded and burst into flames. Dalthoy was shocked, he looked up at the U.F.O and saw what happened, It uses a shock wave to disable the camcorder in order to keep it’s existence secret. The UFO finally landed in the forest, the door opened, smoke came out, a shadow, casted on the ground. A figure, stepped out and revealed it’s form. It was a human, but not just any human, he wore a long black robed on him.

He said, “ Hi lad, good day to you!”

“Hey, who in the world are you, kid?”

“My name is Fred, I am a wizard from a school called Whisper Hollows.”

“Wow, do you know spells?”

“Yeah.”

“Why are you here?”

“You must help me to get the Book of Necronomicon”

“What’s in it for me?”

“A bottle of the water from the fountain of youth, if you drink it, no one will live as long you. ”

After a long flight in their hovercraft, they went to a place that is overrun by monsters of the night, with skulls lying everywhere.

“The Mist of Xlynthian,” Fred announced.

They slowly trudged to an enormous cave, it’s walls, stained with blood, with the smell of rotten flesh, had skulls lying around. After they walked for quite a while, the cave came to an end.

“What?! I thought there was more?!”

“There is, only wizards can see it, there is a lever right there, on the right side. You’ll have to stay here and guard this place until I tell you to come with me.

As the scientist was sitting by the wall, waiting for Fred to come back, he smelled a decent smell, it was the smell of a homemade chocolate cake. He slowly rose up and slowly followed the smell towards a smaller cave that no one would notice if they were actually trying to find it.

When Fred was near the location on his map, he got a big surprise, it was a long hallway, filled with torches. When he walked to the end of the hallway, there was a huge door. When he pushed it open, there was a wizard.

“No one shall pass.” said the wizard.

He was holding a necklace, but there was something unordinary about that necklace. That moment, he knew, he knew exactly what it was. That necklace was only held by a necromancer, anyone who held it immediately turn into one of their undead. With that necklace, the necromancer could summon any undead and they would only listen to the one who hold the necklace. It was a Remondo, Fred knew, he can’t beat him with strength, he must outwit him. Fred bent down, grabbed a handful of sand and asked the wizard,

“Do you know where the exit is?”

“No”

Fred threw the handful of sand onto the wizard’s eye. as the wizard was howling, Fred threw himself at the door and the next thing he knew, he was inside a room with wizards all around the room, at the center of the room, it was the book, necronomicon. He suspected there would be chaos but everything seemed unnaturally quiet. He took one step forward and all the wizards as if summoned, started to chase after Fred.
When Dalthoy walked into the cave, he turned out to be in a room, that had people all around it. He thought, ok, this is awkward. Just as he was about to find an exit, he saw a figure that tumbled out of the wall. He thought is it someone who was dangerous so he backed down to hide. Just as he was looking for a place to hide, he noticed that the other guy took one step and the pants told Dalthoy everything.
As Fred was looking frantically for a solution he saw a person running to him. He squinted and saw that it was Dalthoy. As Dalthoy neared, the wizards moved back.
“Get the book Fred!”
“No, I can’t, only a scientist could touch it, anyone else would be one of those wizards around you. They backed up because you are a scientist. Why do you think I brought you for no reason.”
“Alright, I got it, let’s go!”
“We can’t, we have fight off the people around you, the necromancers. Or else, you will be cursed under a spell.”
“Ok, how are we gonna fight off a bunch of these guys huh?”
“I don’t know? You’re the scientist!”
“If I make the book touch their skin will they die?”
“Seriously,  that’s your plan? We could give it a go, they’re all scared of the book, so yeah, go ahead, I’ll be behind you.”
Dalthoy threw the book on one of the necromancers, as a result, the necromancer burned. Fred looked blankly at Dalthoy and gasped, that was awesome! The young wizard used a spell to make the burning necromancer move any direction Fred wants it to.
When the last necromancer was burned, suddenly the door opened, they walked out and that was when he realized. That his flyer is gone.

“How are we supposed to get home now, we are in another world, your flyer is the only thing in the universe that could travel through the cloth of time.”

“I don’t know, you have any ideas Fred?”

“I can summon my broomstick,  that ‘might’ could carry us through the cloth of time.”

“And if we can’t?”

“Our skin would peel off by the speed.”

“What?! You’re crazy, kid!”

“Either way, we’re going to die here. Would you rather try, or die?”

“Okay. Fine!”

“Accio!”
Suddenly, a flying broom came over and stop on the ground.
“Up” Fred said.
And the broomstick landed softly on his hand.
“What are you waiting for?” He smirked, “This is the Fire Thunder, it is very fast, probably 7th fastest in the world.”
Fred and Dalthoy both climb on the the Fire Thunder. It began to move, Fred realized that Dalthoy was holding tightly his on the Fire Thunder.
“Here goes nothing!” Fred cried.
They started to accelerate, faster and faster, Fred could feel his face burning and freezing by the speed, surely he has never ride it that fast before, Fred was brave, he always trust his experiment, whether it blows up or get destroyed, he would make it again, but not these kind of things, if he would die, he would have died in honor, dying in this place is worthless and may brought shame to him. No one would bury him in the ground, his skeleton would stay there for long period of time. He was scared of heights too, he had a lot memories where he saw right in front of his eyes, his sister fell down from a tree and died. Unfortunately, this is not the case, it is do or die. He closed his eyes tightly and prepare to speak his last words.
Fred tried to fight against the pain, this was more pain than he ever felt before, he tried to bare the pain and went on going in one direction.

About five minutes later, a purple whirlwind caught them inside. They closed their eyes and held tightly on Fred’s broomstick. As soon as it closed, they disappeared. They opened their eyes and saw that they were at the mansion. It was dark, Dalthoy was really excited, Fred was trying to land his broomstick but he was dizzy. He landed roughly but he was happy. He was proud of himself. Dalthoy was on his knees, he bent down.

“It was everything to me!”

“It’s ok,” said Fred with a smile.
