Question: Do Snow Green pea plants grow faster in a mixture of 25% potting soil and 75% compost, in 50% potting soil and 50% compost, or in 75% potting soil and 25% compost? Hypothesis: If Snow Green pea plants are grown, starting from seeds in three different ratios of soil to compost (25% potting soil and 75% compost, in 50% potting soil and 50% compost, and in 75% potting soil and 25% compost) then the peas that were in the 75% potting soil and 25% compost soil will grow the fastest.…

Holding the rusty handle, I opened the shrieking gate gazing at a forgotten land of dreams and hopes. A land filled with old memories of her soft smile and pure heart. My feet lead me one after the other across shattered stones to a broken and disregarded bench. A broken bench that use to hold the strain of her cancer filled body as she would sit under the aging willow and listen to the whispers of its branches. Ambition and optimism once grew into the soul roots of the tree and sprouted with…

meander my way past the screechy screen door, letting it creak back into position. Immediately, I am assaulted by the smell of Cheerios, cashews, coffee grinds, and cookies from the Dollar Bin at Price Chopper. Thanks to the ever-present orchids sprouting throughout the house, the discounted snacks’ scent soon fades into oblivion. The gurgle of the Poland Springs bubbler echos in the background as I fumble for the hanging light pull. As I let it ricochet towards the ceiling, I jump at the sound…

The Paracas and Nazca cultures thrived in what is now Peru from around 600 - 175 BC and 1 - 700 AD, respectively. The depiction of ritual sacrifice plays a significant role in the art of both the Paracas and the Nazca cultures. We see examples of this ritual sacrifice in the intricately decorated Paracas textiles and beautifully painted Nazca ceramic pottery. One example of ritual sacrifice that we see in both the Paracas and Nazca cultures is that of trophy heads. A trophy head was…

that most babies get their first tooth at around 6 months after birth, but they may start gnawing as early as 3 months or as late as 14, and may vary from child to child. This depends on many factors, one of them being as when the parents started sprouting teeth and whether or not your baby was a preemie. In case of premature and low birth weight babies there may be a delay in their first tooth eruption. Children should have a full set of primary teeth by the time they are almost three. Babies…

Honesty is the best policy. We hear this phrase throughout our lives. Parents, teachers, mentors, and others tell us that when we or others around us get caught in a lie. We are taught that we shouldn’t lie. Lying to get out of trouble will just get you into more trouble down the line, meaning if we lie, no matter how good we think we are at lying, we will eventually get caught somehow. The Crucible is a play written about the Salem Witch Trials, a time full of lies upon lies upon lies. This…

Maternal-fetal conflict can include a pregnant woman's refusal of recommended induction of labor or cesarean section, a pregnant woman's use of illicit substances or non-prescribed medications, or other risky behaviors, as well as a pregnant woman's non-adherence to…

During the 1960s, Civil Rights Movements were sprouting across the country and led to having President Johnson concerned about his country. Lyndon B.

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was introduced to eliminate voting discrimination throughout the country. In the act, section 4 contains formulas for those states or regions…
