The Ko’olau Range is a landform that originally formed as a single mountain called the Ko’oalu Volcano. What remains now is the western half of Ko’oalu; the original mountain has been destroyed over time. The eastern portion slid suddenly into the Pacific Ocean and now its remains lie over nearly 100 miles of sea to the northeast of the island of O’ahu. I predict that, with time, this landform will begin to be heavily eroded, as most mountains do.

In my own honest opinion, the Big Bang Theory makes the most sense to me out of all of the theories I have considered. Religion and other factors aside, I believe that there is too much evidence that has been found supporting the idea of a “big bang” for me to not believe in it. I know there are plenty of people that disagree, and I am fine with this. I stand firmly in my opinion that 15 or so billion years ago, there was a tremendous explosion that thus started the expansion of the universe that we live on today. With this explosion, came our home. This home is constantly expanding, the galaxies are constantly moving farther away from each other in what we call a red shift. There is proof of this that I believe is leading in the right direction.

Bonds between different atoms are broken and/or created when a chemical reaction takes place. You start with one compound, and by the end of the chemical reaction,  you have a totally different one. A reaction could include ions, molecules, or pure atoms. For example, putting pure hydrogen gas and oxygen gas together would slowly create water.

Working in a science lab can be dangerous, no matter if you’re in middle school or college or even beyond college. For example, when you’re working with chemicals you need to always wear goggles and gloves. If some chemicals get in or near your eyes, they can be extremely harmful. Also, a handful of chemicals can be just as harmful if they touch your skin. There’s also the times when a Bunsen burner and other tools similar to it are used, and you risk the hazard of a fire starting. A fire starting on a school campus is extremely dangerous and is risking the lives of a lot of children. For this reason, when working with tools like a Bunsen burner you should always be careful. Another thing that’s important to do is always listen to your teacher’s instructions; they know more than you, let’s face it, and they are giving you these instructions for a reason. Lab safety should always be the first thing on your mind when working on a science experiment; if it isn’t, there might be dire consequences.
