Letter to King Arthur 9/6/17


      Dear King Arthur,                                                                                         9/6/17

        I have done some research and I believe I have found your crown. Your pure gold crown was the crown delivered by Gawain. I found this through finding the mass and volume of each crown. We know that golds density is 19.3 g/cm3. We also know that in order to find density we must do mass divided by volume. Density is how much stuff we have in a given space and how close somethings atoms are together. So I have done mass divided by volume for each crown. The crown with the same density as gold (19.3 g/cm3 ) is your crown. I know this because your crown is made of pure gold and that would mean that your crown has the same density as gold.

      The crown delivered by Lancelot has a mass of 1890 grams and a volume of 180 cm3 and 1890 divided by 180 is 10.8 g/cm3. Which means it is not the correct crown because it doesn't have the same density as gold the material it actually is made of is silver. The crown Percival delivered has a mass of 486 grams and a volume of 180 cm3 and 486 divided by 180 is 2.7 g/cm3. It doesn't have the same density as gold so it isn't the correct crown the material it actually is made of aluminum. The crown delivered by Bedivere has a mass of 1404 grams and a volume of 180 and 1404 dived by 180 is 7.8 g/cm3. That is not the same density as gold so it isn't your crown the material that crown is made of is steel. The crown delivered by Galahad has a mass of 2430 grams and a volume of 180 and 2430 divided by 180 is 13.5 which is the exact density of led. Therefore that is not the correct crown. The crown delivered by Gawain has a mass of 3474 grams and a volume of 180 cm3 and 3474 divided by 180 is 19.3 g/cm3 which is the same density as gold. Therefore making it the King Arthur's crown.

     I know what each substance each crown was made of by looking at the "density of common substances chart." It has 6 substances on the chart, wood (oak), aluminum, silver, steel, led, and gold. It also listed each substance's density. If a crown had the same density as one of the substances then I automatically knew what substance that crown was made of. For example, the crown that Bedivere delivered has a mass of 7.8 g/cm3 and on the chart it says that steel has a mass of 7.8 g/cm3. So I knew that the crown Bedivere delivered was steel. This research was done with the best of my ability, and with that research the correct crown given to you was from Gawain.

                               Sincerely, Nicolas Reed

The Sulfur Cycle 1/20/18

Image
Summary:        This week in science we learned about biogeochemical cycles, more specifically, I learned about the biogeochemical cycle known as the Sulfur Cycle. What I now know about the Sulfur Cycle because of what I learned this week through research is each part in the sulfur cycle. I also now know that their are a lot of different parts in the sulfur, but my focus was trying to make this complicated cycle very simple and easy to understand. The first part in the Sulfur Cycle is  Hydrogen Sulfide Gas is released into the atmosphere by the eruptions of volcanoes, hot springs (“ spring produced by the emergence of geothermally heated groundwater that rises from the Earth's crust. ”) , and the decay of living biological sulfur-containing materials in swamps, bogs, and tidal flats. Sulfur is also released from the ocean in sulfur-containing compounds in sea spray, and as the gas hydrogen sulfide. I also know that most of the sulfur released from the world's oceans does so

Plate Tectonics 3/10/18

Summary:        This week in science we learned about Plate Tectonics. Plates have been on Earth for thousands of years and are consistently moving (very slowly). Through this the Earth can recycle our land, by destroying the old land, and creating new land. These plates are made of rock and are in the lithosphere layer of the Earth. Another thing I know is that there are 3 different type of plate boundaries. Those three types of plate boundaries are convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, and transform boundaries. Convergent boundaries are when two plates collide and their are two different types of convergent boundaries. The two types of convergent boundaries are collisional boundaries and subduction zones. A collisional boundary is when two plates with the same density collide. Because they are the same density the plates buckle and warp. The land then pushes up into jagged peaks forming a mountain. Subduction zones are when one dense ocean plate converges with a lighter con

Analog Vs. Digital debate - WAC 3 Argument | Nicolas Reed-8th Grade Science

nreed1005 Ms. Garcia Science 8 4/5/19 Digital is Better than Analog        “There's an ongoing flood of new LP releases (Amazon currently lists 938,000 LP titles ). Kings of Leon, Taylor Swift, Nine Inch Nails, and Kanye West all have their latest releases available on LP.” according to the article titled, “Why does analog sound better than digital,” by Steve Guttenberg. Digital is better than analog. Digital allows you to have a clearer sound that is controllable and can last forever. Most importantly, it is cheaper, which means that it can used by almost anyone. Analog is the past, we must invest in the future and use digital.        Using digital means having high quality sound that can be manipulated. “Digital has certain perfect things about it [, it] immediately solved all the problems of analog background noise, hiss, where pitch control all of those things.” according to the video titled, “Analog or Digital? (1993),” from PastVid. Digital allows you to have “go
