Now in my opinion I love history in any way shape or form. You all should read about this article because it is really interesting, although it is a 45 min article, but in my opinion probably some of the most fun you will have listening to any of the articles. My favorite part was in the beginning with Moe Berg. I won’t spoil it but in my opinion is a very fun character all around person and is now my favorite baseball player because of who he was. An interesting fact I learned was that he learned to be a spy, then an assassin, to try and assassinate the Most famous German Nazi scientists to ever live, Werner Hisenburg. So be sure to check it out. To find it go to history and arts page 2 if interested. Click here to go to Science Friday . (If you don’t know what the allies are here are the main ones, the French, Us, Australia, the British, Russia, and New Zealand. The Axis's were German Nazis, the Japanese, and the Italians.)
Thank You to all who read this Post.]]> 2019-08-24 21:48:46 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsDove/qvcg4foetvyo/wish/376856990 Are Electric Scooters Actually Good For The Environment? matthewm1877 https://padlet.com/MrsDove/qvcg4foetvyo/wish/376871332 The electric scooters? DEFINITELY. But the company who didn't think this through that the juicers, the people who charge the Birds, Limes, JUMPs, they thought that they would actually make an impact, but in this case, currently, no. Why? It's because the juicers use gas guzzling pickup trucks and cars. I mean, what's the point then? Just to get money? I mean, there isn't a great impact, but the people are doing a better impact than the company, because the people are getting the scooters in their electric cars (there's a bigger amount of regular people than juicers, and at least a small percent of the civilian juicers use electric cars. So, the civilians who charge the electric scooters in their homes get a good credit onto their electric bill, so hooray. A solution might be what I just suggested above, or that juicers (the guys who are paid for the job) get electric pickups or something, so we can get money and a less-dying Earth. Win-win.

The podcast is about what happened to all of the apple orchards in one of the best apple growing states. In the early 1800s, everyone loved apples and there were about 1,400 different varieties across the United States. Colorado was great for growing apples because of their high altitude which made them sweeter and their apples even won medals! But when settlers started moving, they wanted to plant apple trees wherever they were headed so they brought along apple seeds. However, one type of apple, the Red Delicious, was heavily marketed everywhere in the United States. But for some reason, it didn’t grow well in Colorado and when they were planted, they got hit by disease. Another declining event was that people were bringing apples for cider, not for eating them fresh. About 3/4 of the apple “population” were used for cider and 1/4 were used for actual eating. Lots of species are endangered and could go extinct. There are so many varieties of apples: skin like sandpaper, shiny, as large as a grape fruit, and so many more. An interesting fact I learned was that an apple called the Surprise, actually has a yellow exterior but a red flesh. And the flesh actually tastes similar to a Sour Patch Kid! As you can see from this post, you can learn so much about the history of one of the world’s most known fruit and even learn some things you never knew even existed!

Potters3110 https://padlet.com/MrsDove/qvcg4foetvyo/wish/377158276 This podcast is about electrical car charging and the price of the the charge. Before charging stations charged on time. They would charge based on how long the cars charge but different cars charge at different times. The podcast talks about what the people who run the chargers are doing to stop the complaining. The people who are running the chargers have charge the price of the car charge. Instead of charging by time they charge by the kilowatt hour(1,000 Watts an hour). The easier way of saying this is people who run the chargers are turning the charging stations into a gas station because gas stations charge by the gallon and the charging stations have a similar concept. the podcast also explains the business of the car charging company’s and how hotels are getting more visitors. The podcast explains that hotels with charging stations can get their guests to come. People who have electric cars want to stay in a hotel with a charging station instead of driving somewhere just so they change their car. ]]> 2019-08-26 15:57:50 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsDove/qvcg4foetvyo/wish/377158276 What is the best way to recover after a workout? amandad0042 https://padlet.com/MrsDove/qvcg4foetvyo/wish/377175472 https://www.sciencefriday.com/topics/health/page/2/

If you are someone who enjoys working out outside or at the gym, you have to get used to the aches and pains that follow. Even though many of us have experienced soreness and tight muscles, we always have something to go to to relieve that pain. Maybe you use foam rollers or massage to help your tight muscles or maybe you ice. However, recent studies have shown that these things don’t actually help the recovery process at all! Although you may feel better for a short time after these things, it is your brain subconsciously telling you that it worked. Science writer Christie Aschwanden explains that most of things we do after the workout slows down the process of healing. For example, icing doesn’t help, all it does is help numb the inflammation, but inflammation is an important part of the healing process. Also, however I disagree, she says that stretching doesn’t help! I personally can feel the difference if I stretched one day and not the other, but she says that you can see or feel a-difference if stretch. So the next time you workout, you may want to rethink what you’ll do after you get home.

It was about fireflies. I recommend this article for many different reasons, one of which being because the two guests that he had on were very good at explaining and answering questions. They understood that there are young viewers listening so they made sure to be extra clear. They said that the fireflies light up when they're feeling unsafe, and there are two chemicals that spread throughout the body which makes the firefly light up, which is also meant to tell other insects and animals to not eat it because it is toxic.

I was so fascinated by this podcast, it felt like I was watching a movie like this couldn't possibly be real life. It was a fantastical plethora of information. Hearing these intellectual people talk about the Ebola research lab in San Antonio was amazing. Dr. Ricardo Carrion talked about the process of becoming a scientist that can even step foot in the lab. The FBI conducted back-round checks on all the Chemists making sure they wouldn't sabotage the experiment. He also spoke about the suits that they must wear to make sure that they are never infected or exposed to the deadly viruses, enough to kill one million people. The suits have on outlet and one outlet only, the oxygen hose, it;s a long tube that provides oxygen to the important scientists while they work for hours on end. The last really important thing that I learned was that the San Antonio lab has been conduction Ebola vaccine labs for the past ten years, and although they are not FDA approved, there are some doctors using them as clinical trials in Africa and seeing some amazing results.

In the article they talk about the scooters compared to cars and they say state that electric scooters are in fact better for the environment than cars but cars are still being used to love scooters from place to place. After the sun sets people called "chargers" are taking the scooters home to charge them. Although that is a great idea, it defeats the purpose of using cars less.

This podcast is about how to make the perfect ice cream with no crystallization. To know how to prevent crystallization in your ice cream you first have to understand what make crystallization happen. Crystallization (in ice cream) forms because water molecules are moving in the ice cream. This causes crystallization because in ice cream there is always a little crystallization but when the water molecules are moving they stick onto the small bit of crystallization witch makes crystal ice covering on top ice cream. If your like me you don't like that you'd prefer rich and creamy ice cream. if you want to prevent crystallization when making homemade ice cream make sure that after you've mixed the ingredients in to a soft serve texture freeze the ice cream asap for around 24 hours (depending on the amount of ice cream and the container size). This prevents crystallization from occurring because it freezes the water molecules in place. The only other thing to be careful of is to not let your ice cream melt because if the ice cream melts and you refreeze it there will be some crystallization.]]> 2019-08-28 16:51:52 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsDove/qvcg4foetvyo/wish/377970505 One Million Animals and Plant Species are at Risk for Extinction isabellas2678 https://padlet.com/MrsDove/qvcg4foetvyo/wish/378082311 I was interested in this podcast because it is about world problems and how they effect species around the world. One million or more species are endangered because of deforestation, poaching and hunting, climate change, changes in use of land and sea, pollution, and a number of human activities. Of this million 40% are amphibians, 33% are carls and 10% are insects.
I love learning about the earth and how i can change my lifestyle to help animals or the environment. One thing that i thought was very interesting is that is that scientists are afraid that some species and going to go extinct before they discover it. There are a lot of controversy between the subject if there are 8 million species in the world. Some people think that, that number is exact but some people think there are many more species out there. Personally based on a ton of studies I believe that there are many more species that are undiscovered. ]]> 2019-08-28 21:59:20 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsDove/qvcg4foetvyo/wish/378082311 Trying To Find Life On Mars?

The National Institute for Space Research in Brazil has been using satellite images of tree cover to monitor the Amazon’s deforestation. In the last seven months, the deforestation increased by 50% since last year. The spike in tree loss coincided with the election of the new Brazilian president, Jair Bolsanaro. When he got into office he slashed environmental protection. The most interesting fact that I learned was that without the amazon is that climate scientists warn deforestation is pushing the Amazon rainforest to a tipping point that would disrupt both its ecosystem and the global climate.

Scientists Aren’t Sure katerynab0049 https://padlet.com/MrsDove/qvcg4foetvyo/wish/378159193 This podcast was really interesting to mr when I first saw it because I use a lot of sunscreen in a day because I am always outside, so I have to. One thing that learned to day about sunscreens is that Chemical sunscreens include chemical molecules that absorb UV A, UV B, or both. So UV A and UV B include oxybenzon, avonbenzon, actocrylene, and ecamsule- the four sunscreen ingredients studied in the JAMA research study (and are common in most sunscreens). Because these sunscreens often only cover small areas of the UV spectrum, manufacturers use a combination of different chemicals to provide a wide range of UV coatings to protect the skin.]]> 2019-08-29 05:05:14 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsDove/qvcg4foetvyo/wish/378159193 How much worse can the measles outbreak get? scoutr0059 https://padlet.com/MrsDove/qvcg4foetvyo/wish/378360942 You've probably heard in the news or through an adult that measles is back in the Unites States. In April, there were a reported 600 cases in 22 states, and now multiple here in California. This podcast was very interesting to me because the scientists really got into the facts and broke down what is going on. One thing that was very interesting to me was that when thinking about the measles outbreak, many people don't take into consideration all the little babies that are too young to get vaccinated could get the disease. In 2014 the level of vaccinated vs unvaccinated was dangerous, so it is believed that helped contribute to this outbreak. In most places where there are outbreaks, there are either very large numbers or very small. Since this disease is so contagious, it is better where there are small outbreaks. It amazes me that this is still happening when there is a solution to the pain and suffering you are essentially putting your kids through because you believed a tabloid. In 2000, there were enough vaccinations to eliminate measles in the US, but now that's gone. Because of this, multiple states have started making laws to make vaccines a requirement. https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/how-much-worse-can-the-measles-outbreak-get/]]> 2019-08-29 16:21:56 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsDove/qvcg4foetvyo/wish/378360942 What's the charge for an electric car charge? JelloForever https://padlet.com/MrsDove/qvcg4foetvyo/wish/378406837 North Carolina and many other states are beginning to charge electric car owners for charging their cars, understandably. They have to pay for the land that the charging stations are on and the electric bill for the stations. The electric cars will be charged by the kilowatt hour, not unlike gas cars are charged for the gallon. These kilowatt hour prices will go up and down, just like gas prices for cars. These changes, although sensible, may dissuade people from buying electric cars.]]> 2019-08-29 17:57:17 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsDove/qvcg4foetvyo/wish/378406837 Trying to Find Life on Mars?

But what is it looking for? Ancient Aliens, obviously. No, NASA hasn't gone insane. Stromatalites, one of the earliest lifeforms on Earth, was abundant 3.5 billion years ago. Stromatolite fossils are only found in a few areas of the world today, such as the western Australian Outback. In order for a stromatalite to grow on Mars, the conditions would have to be similar to Earth. This includes water. The rover would land on a crater in Mars called Jezero Crater. The crater was thought to have been flooded a long time ago, meaning that Stromatolites could have formed. NASA plans to bring back samples of it if they find any, meaning that the Mars 2020 missions would be the first mission to bring back samples from another planet.]]> 2019-08-29 18:30:02 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsDove/qvcg4foetvyo/wish/378424153 The Amazon Is Burning https://padlet.com/MrsDove/qvcg4foetvyo/wish/378811291 I was interested in this podcast because it explained that businesses and loss of trees in the Amazon can have a huge impact on our environment and if we lose lose the Amazon we will be losing a vital piece of the fight against climate change. The Amazon is responsible for taking bad carbon out of the atmosphere also, giving back oxygen into the atmosphere. One interesting fact that I learned is that the record number of fires since last year -2018- has increased by 83%. An estimated 9,500 fires has covered over cities such as São Paulo due to the tragic amount of trees lost since last week. The main cause of this would be because of cattle ranchers and loggers looking to clear the land for their own use. Researchers suspect that it is all human caused and that President Jair Bolsonaro has something to do with it because of his campaign promise to explore the Amazons economic potential.

This indicates that it can be extremely hard to make ice cream, especially the freezing process.
The freezing process is probably the most difficult part of the whole process because depending on the amount of egg whites you use in your ice cream (or gelatin for vegans) it has to freeze for a certain amount of time.
An interesting fact that I learned from this podcast was that the reason ice cream crystalizes is because of water. Depending on how frozen your ice cream is, water can cause it to crystalize due to the water molecules in the ice cream.

My article is about our ancient obsession with the moon. Since the beginning of time with wondering about the mystery of space but we’ve also wondering about one specific thing, the moon. The moon enforces gravity and pushes and pulls the tides. It’s one of the many wonders of the world that we’ve seeked answers about since ancient times.
One of the very first movies was about the moon, it was extremely inaccurate, but about the moon none the less. Galileo and 1609 made his own conception of what the moon was like after looking through a telescope. Since then people at the side of the moon as a perfect, unblemished orb. Until scientist proved them wrong of course. The moon helped understand when to harvest, plant crops, etc… it’s stirred fascination. This article was interesting to me because the moon influence the imagination of humans and I wanted to know why. ]]> 2019-09-04 23:51:27 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsDove/qvcg4foetvyo/wish/380183023 The Amazon Is Burning scoutr0059 https://padlet.com/MrsDove/qvcg4foetvyo/wish/380189232 I chose this podcast because I have heard about the Amazon being on fire for the past couple weeks, and I wanted to learn more about it. Something that was pretty fascinating to me was how there are currently over 70,000 fires happening in the Amazon. The even more bizarre part is that they are suspected to be on purpose. Normally, one would think that it would be crazy to set the worlds biggest forest on fire, right? Apparently not. Cattle ranchers and loggers have been encouraged by Brazilian President, Jair Bolsonaro. President Bolsonaro built his campaign on how he would better Brazil's economy and explore the Amazon's economic potential. The amazon is responsible for taking in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, but also returning that with oxygen being put out into the atmosphere. With the forest being on fire, it is constantly sucking away this oxygen, making the fire bigger, but giving back carbon dioxide in return. These fires are reversing what this forest has done for so many years. ]]> 2019-09-05 00:22:29 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsDove/qvcg4foetvyo/wish/380189232 Hurricane Watch and Ocean Arrival isabellas2678 https://padlet.com/MrsDove/qvcg4foetvyo/wish/380682322 I chose this podcast because I have been really interested in hurricane Dorian. One fascinating thing that I found is that the category of a hurricane (1,2,3,4,5) doesn't determine how deadly it can be. One reason I have been interested in Dorian is because this hurricane is so unpredictable. Meteorologists say Dorian has literally been all over the map. At the start they thought it was a tropical storm, but they also thought it was going to hit Puerto Rico. Thankfully, it didn't hit Puerto Rico because they are still recovering from Hurricane Maria from 2017, making it a deadlier hit for them. As the tracking went on they upgraded it from a tropical storm to a category 1 hurricane. At this time the east coast is expecting a category 4 hurricane to hit. So as you can see this hurricane is messing with everybody's head. They also explain that Dorian is moving a mile per hour, humans on average walk 3 miles per hour. So Dorian is moving very slowly also making it unpredictable. Dorian last hit is still unknown. ]]> 2019-09-05 22:47:03 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsDove/qvcg4foetvyo/wish/380682322 A Dimming Plan For Lighting Efficiency JelloForever https://padlet.com/MrsDove/qvcg4foetvyo/wish/381121418 The Trump Administration has announced that they would be rolling back energy efficiency requirements for light bulbs that would be taking effect in 2020.

The ranks of the unvaccinated have grown and are still growing at a fast rate. First off, I learned that there were up to 4 million cases before and during 1963. That was something that shocked me too see that we have advanced in many ways since the 1900’s. Another thing that I learned was that it took 4 decades, but then by 2000 enough people have become vaccinated that the measles virus was eliminated in the U.S. but soon brought back this year. One in every thousand cases will develop a fatal complication of encephalitis or swelling of the brain. Medical Professionals predict that sooner or later, in the next 20 years someone in the U.S. will die from this disease. I really enjoyed and thought this podcast was interesting by the way it is broken down while being listened to and was being explained.

The Brazilian forest is receiving a record number of fires this year. There has been an 83% increase of fires over 2018. A lot of the fires have created so much smoke that it created dark clouds over cities and completely blocked out the sun! The fires unfortunately started because people wanted to clear the land to grow their crops. The president of Brazil, Bolsonaro, is encouraging businesses to come in and set the forrest on fire to create more space to use. This is really bad because we need the Amazon Rainforest. It is the “lungs of the earth”. Without them, it wouldn’t be good and it definitely would make climate change a lot worse. These fires have gone up 82% than last year. It’s really sad. We must protect the Amazon.

This podcast shared a lot about how vaping is affecting our body’s. Over 10 million Americans vape or smoke electronic cigarettes. E-cigarettes are the most popular among teenagers. One patient in Illinois has died from this mysterious illness. There are 193 recorded cases of this illness as of August 30. Symptoms may include difficulty breathing, chest pain, fatigue, vomiting, and some may suffer permanent lung damage. First cases have been reported as of late June. As of treatment steroids may be given to patients with this illness. Using tobacco and vaping together is known to be worse than just vaping. I sure hope people will hear about this illness and stop vaping not only for them self but for others too.

This podcast shared a lot about social play. For example, how social play is when an animal plays with another animal, when you see these things you get closer to understanding social interactions between people, and how the brain controls social interactions. Another example for how I learned more about social play by listening to this, is based on how the animals, Rats specifically not only cared about the social reward at the end, but would sometimes try to ignore the social reward so that they could continue playing. I learned a whole lot more on Social Play from this podcast, and mainly from these two examples.]]> 2019-09-16 00:06:16 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsDove/qvcg4foetvyo/wish/384402375 Rethinking Recycling In Philadelphia Suburbs https://padlet.com/MrsDove/qvcg4foetvyo/wish/385658340 This podcast that I’ll be talking about will be about China taking 40% of the US taking are Recycables but stopping because of the type of material and saying it needs to be nothing less than 99.5% pure. They’ve been more restrictive for a few months, and then turned it around and started relaxing the standards again. China has been stating that it will be tougher to accept America’s trash. Recycling programs are now having a challenge about finding a way to undo habits. https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/rethinking-recycling-in-philadelphia-suburbs/]]> 2019-09-18 00:36:49 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsDove/qvcg4foetvyo/wish/385658340 A Clamp Down On Hurricane Dorian Data https://padlet.com/MrsDove/qvcg4foetvyo/wish/387422078 Trump draws on a board with a sharpie to indicate where the hurricane is going. He shows that the hurricane is heading towards Alabama. The National Weather Service Office in Birmingham, Alabama tweeted that Alabama is NOT at risk for hurricane Dorian. They are completely safe. Trump did not like that. They got in trouble for making that tweet. Sounds kind of crazy to me. When Trump makes false claims about the weather, that’s really bad. We need people to trust the weather reports for their safety. If people can’t trust the weather reporters, them their lives could possibly be at risk. We need to know accurate weather reports so that we can prepare ourselves for what is to come. In conclusion, Trump cried wolf. If he tells the truth next time and nobody believes him, then lives are at risk. -Julia Kelley]]> 2019-09-20 20:06:27 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsDove/qvcg4foetvyo/wish/387422078
