13, 2015 Moths are attracted to man-made lights. It is a fact, but many scientists are not sure why. One theory is the “the lights throw off their internal navigation systems” (Walchover Natalie). Moths always fly at a constant angle relevant to a light source from a distance, for example the moon. The moon is so large and so far away, it looks like it is in one spot, and no matter where you go, it looks like you are always following it. But man-made lights, on the other hand, such as lamps and…
to the dimly lit parking garage. With minimal light and dozens of parked cars I continue to the second level to find a space. Loud music, chirp chirp from alarms and slamming doors have become a part of my morning routine. I cut the engine off and gather my belongings for the day all while making the same chirpings noises I heard a few minutes prior. Pulling out what looks like a credit card from my pockets, I tap the black box and the green light appears. I open the metal door and walk…
Twas a regular, and unexciting day of school. When Miss Pierre walked into the classroom, she arrived with a seemingly mystical, yet intriguing surprise. Of course, it was a pop quiz for our short story we were reading in class called Roots. But, when everyone was done, she had a much more exciting surprise that no one expected. This surprise was a visit to the world renowned and unbelievably interesting GMML. Otherwise known as the Genetic Munchkin Mutation Laboratory. This laboratory not only…

My mind raced as I lay flat on the hot sandstone so that I could safely survey the valley below. I tried to convince myself that it wasn’t very far to the bottom, but my eyes suggested otherwise. I quickly crawled back from the edge of the cliff I was perched upon and stood to collect my thoughts. For a moment I was taken aback by the sheer beauty of my surroundings. The sky was a vibrant blue, unblemished by clouds, and uninterrupted until it rested upon the deep green tree line. The grandness…
Shadow (Rough Draft) Behind me, in front of me, besides me, and even under me. My dog Tucker is my very own shadow. From when I get home to when I go to bed he is my little brown and black shadow. Even when the sun isn’t shining, he sticks to my side like glue. My shadow follows me to the couch, the kitchen, and also my bed. I have to tell me shadow “NO” when he tries to follow me into the bathroom. Even tho having a real life shadow can get annoying, I wouldn’t trade his warming eyes and soft…
It all started on the morning of September 2nd. The thick, foggy air gave off a somewhat mystifying feel to it. Not in a bad way, but in an adventurous, thrill-seeking way. As I was on top of my neighborhood hill in Oklahoma, I watched the sun gracefully rise as the golden rays cut through the immense blue sky. The spectacular view instantly made me smile. As school was coming around the corner, I knew I had to do one last stunt. Sitting next to me was a brand new solar-powered jet pack that I…
boat is not centered and there are more people on one side of the painting than the other which also makes it asymmetric. There are more cool colors used in this painting then there is warm. I see a couple things that are red and a few that are a light yellow color, but besides that, there are all cool colors being used. The red is in two scarfs and the yellow is in the man’s scarf and the boats in the background. In this painting, they use several different textures and cool colors. The water…
In order to find the answer to this question, it must be broken down. What are photons? How does gravity affect light? What is a black hole? A photon is typically seen as a particle or wave representing a quantum of light or other electromagnetic radiation. A photon carries energy proportional to the radiation frequency but has zero rest mass. Photons are currently best explained by quantum mechanics. However, it is important to know that photons have both the qualities of waves and particles…
Flamestreak padded on the bank looking out over the water pondering life, she stopped and sat down hearing the crunch of the rocks and sand against her paws. It was a warm day and the sand felt warm against her freezing toes, it was a harsh leaf-bare and everyone was glad that new Leaf came at last. There was more prey and the flowers started to bloom, even the cat mint field was fresh and new; the kittens would play with their mothers in the field as the fathers would look on smiling and gladly…
