Pros and Cons of Nanotechnology

This is a helpful website because it provides information about nanotechnology and it provides both sides of the story (pros and cons). Some pros are that nanotechnology can make more efficient energy sources and they can be smaller so that is good to conserve space. Also, medicine is better with nanotechnology because they can reduce side effects. Some cons of nanotechnology are other trade markets will fall because nanotechnology will be more efficient. Weapons can now be more powerful with Nanotechnology. It is expensive to develop.

Physics.org

This website reports the latest discoveries in physics. There are tons of information about different subjects in physics. In the explore tag there is a search bar where they provide a lot of different websites on the topics you search up. The websites are rated so you know if they are useful. There are a lot of intriguing topics, such as things that we wonder about everyday. There are many articles, videos and experiments. It covers a huge amount of information needed for my project.

Mathematics and chemistry

This brief page explains how mathematics is essential in chemistry. In chemistry mathematics is necessary to calculate concepts. This page provides a lot of links on exactly what mathematics skill you need to know for chemistry. The links show that scientific equations are used in chemistry. The website is from a university, so the information is reliable.

Module One Post Six (10 cool chemistry experiments)

The rainbow of colored fire was made using common household chemicals to color the flames.

Cool Chemistry Experiments

This site lists 10 cool experiments using different substances mixed together. There is step by step instruction on how to do most these experiments. These experiments all involve chemistry. This demonstrates that there is infinite possibilities that can happen after certain substances are mixed together. This is an example that shows me that there are no end to possibilities in chemistry. It will also be good for ideas.

Module One Post Five (Bridge types and forces)

This youtube video explains clearly the different types of bridges and forces. There are two forces, tension and compression. Different types of materials are best for withstanding each forces. There are a variety of different types of bridges, and each one corresponds to the forces differently. Depending on the shape of the bridge, certain materials are the best. It also displayed a diagram for where tension and compression are on a truss bridge. From this video I learned the physics in bridge building. I think this will be a good foundation for building my own bridge.

                                    Calculating average velocity or speed

This video on khan academy show how to calculate two dimensional velocity or speed. It is basically calculating the average speed over a time period. For velocity, you just have to add the direction the object is moving. It might help me in calculating velocity for my project because I’d like to further explore physics – the study of matter in and its motion and behavior through time and space.

                                   Energy transformation on a roller coaster

This website shows the physics in of work and energy in roller coasters. It is helpful because it helps me understand how a roller coaster works. Roller coasters don’t have any engine in them, and they usually only depend on the first propeller in the track. There is usually a motor or a lifting chain at the the beginning of the track. When the roller coaster gains height, it gains potential energy, which is the amount of energy stored in an object due to position. For example, a heavy ball at the top of hill has potential energy because if it falls, their will be a lot of energy in the fall. When the roller coaster falls down the hill, it will lose potential energy and gain kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. When the roller coaster goes up a hill, it will lose kinetic energy and gain potential energy. Mathematical equation can be used to calculate how much kinetic energy there are. This process is shown on the diagram below.

For my fifth post, i decided not to use a website. I used my Uncle and his knowledge. As you may know, my uncle is an engineer and he absolutely loves architecture! Something that inspired me to research this specific topic was my uncle and all the engineering and building shows. I have always been interested in building and making new things. When i was younger, i always had a strong passion for Lego. I had a huge bucket filled with several Lego pieces and i use to build a variety of different things using these Lego pieces. Now when I became a lot older i realised that building and creativity all relate to each other in some way. Without creativity and being unique the world would be so boring and you would not be looking forward to doing and trying new things. I really hope i can one day study one of these jobs because they are very mind blowing topics to study and learn about! My sister wants to become and engineer since shes graduating this year so who knows? maybe one day i will follow my sister and uncles footsteps!

You can find many places filled with architecture around the world! However i wanted to research some places in Vancouver where you can find some fascinating buildings. I came across this website that had the 10 ten places in Vancouver to find architecture. Some places that they listed on this website were: Crown life building, Evergreen building, Marine building, Waterfall building, Pharmaceutical sciences building. A few of these buildings surprised me because i have actually been to a few of them before. Crown life building is a 20 story glass office. Its wedge shaped floor plates make it a graceful on the Georgia stretch. Evergreen building sits along the blue glass towers of Coal Harbour.The building has actually managed to resist hard pressures to convert the structure. When you get to actually stand next to these buildings or look at them it makes the experience ten times cooler because its incredible to see what architecture has done to our planet in such an amazing and wonderful way!
