The Truth About Wood Gasification
Wood gasification is the process of turning wood into carbon monoxide and hydrogen by reacting the raw material (wood) at high temperatures with a controlled amount of oxygen. Without oxygen, the wood can\'t burn so it transforms into gas. This gas can be used as fuel in an internal combustion engine. During World War II wood gas generators where used to fuel automobiles in Europe. If you/\'ve been thinking about building one and seeing if I for example you could run a small lawn mower engine off of wood gas. We would encourage you to give it a try. Gasification is here, now, and possible within the economic means of many Americans. Gasification scales up very easily and cost effectively. That old...

Mechanical Gears And The Science Behind Them
Mechanical gears are round shaped wheels that has teethes which mesh with other gear teeth.The main aspect is the transfer of power must be complete without slippage. Depending on the perfect design and architecture, they output different speeds or torques from the input power source. Gear not only meshes with another gear but also with any device that has compatible teeth. Mechanical advantage of a gear is derived by varying the combination of gears of unequal sizes. Gear Ratio is the term used to measure gears and it is derived from the arrangements of gears. The unit of gears are number of teethes or gear diameter. Mechanical advantage of a gear can be gained by doing intermeshing gears in motion...

No two days are ever the same for any event that takes place. This has a major impact on planning, holding events, sales and advertising, seminars, fundraising and other events where a large group of people get together. We've all had times where a party, fundraiser or other group event turned out poorly and yet we hold the party a different day, everything works out perfect. Science is now starting to prove that the general mood of the population is being governed by two major factors; the amount of geomagnetic activity taking place on the earth and the amount of activity coming from the sun. Not all active solar activity is negative, at the right times, this activity can be a major boost to...

Baby Galileo Thermometers—the Useful Items to...
Galileo thermometers are the unconventional temperature-measuring instruments. They are in great variance with the clinical thermometers. The ordinary thermometers are used to measure the body temperature of the patients whereas the Galileo thermometers read the temperature of the surrounding. This item has a long fascinating history to narrate. It was invented by the great scientist Galileo Galili on the basis of his own finding about the intimate relationship between the density of liquid and temperature of the surrounding. The close association between these two variables affects the buoyancy of an object. The application of this great discovery resulted in the Galileo thermometer. The modern...
Biotechnology - An Applied Sciences
The concept encompasses a wider range and history of procedures for modifying living organisms according to human purposes, going back to domestication of animals, cultivation of plants and "improvements" to these through breeding programs that employ artificial selection and hybridization. By comparison to biotechnology, bioengineering is generally thought of as a related field with its emphasis more on mechanical and higher systems approaches to interfacing with and exploiting living things. HISTORY Although not normally thought of as biotechnology, agriculture clearly fits the broad definition of "using a biological system to make products" such that the cultivation of plants may be viewed as...

The coal mining industry segment produces coal, a fossil fuel that is used primarily for electric power generation and in the production of steel. Like oil, coal is formed over millions of years from plant and animal matter, but unlike oil, coal is a solid, and therefore miners must go into the earth to recover it. Many coal seams are located close to the surface, however, which makes the extraction of this resource easier. Surface mining of coal typically uses the method known as strip mining, which is usually more cost-effective than underground mining and requires fewer workers to produce the same quantity of coal. In strip mining, workers use huge earthmoving equipment, such as power shovels or...

Do you want your kids to love science? If so, make sure they do science fair projects kids will find fun.

p>Homeschool speeches require lots of work from coming up with the debatable idea to organizing the thoughts to memorizing the entire piece to delivering it with style. In the ancient Greco-Roman world, classical rhetoric was comprised of five principles which provided a template for developing and critiquing speeches and written compositions. In principle one, invention, the speaker determined the debatable idea, discovered the logical arguments, and developed the thesis for his speech. Principle two, arrangement, divided the speech into an introduction, a statement of facts, an outline, the proof, the refutation, and the conclusion. Style, principle three, involved determining purpose...
Do you Know What a Moon Buggy Is?
The Lunar Rover (sometimes also called the "moon buggy", and officially named Lunar Roving Vehicle - LRV) was a surface exploration rover used on the Moon during the Apollo 15, 16 and 17 missions. The original vehicle was developed in only 17 months by Boeing (although there were cost overruns), it was mostly made of aluminium and had a top speed of about 8 mph (13 km/h) and a weight of 463 lb (210 kg). A total of four rovers had been built, but only three were used as Apollo 18 and further missions had been cancelled. The rover was first used on July 31, 1971 during the Apollo 15 mission and finally allowed the astronauts to expand the range of their lunar explorations - previous missions only...
The Colors in Bible and Quran
One of the expanded dogmas of mankind is that the Quran is quoted or borrowed from the Bible. This creed is established upon studies of many prejudiced intellectual scholars In this series of articles (1-14), it is obvious that the Quran is quite different from the Bible. It is also very clear that the Noble Quran preceded the sciences in many aspects. In the present topic of the Colors, the smart reader will answer easily the fake dogmatic question: Is the Quran quoted from the Bible? Before dealing with the topic of the Different Colors in Quran versus Bible versus sciences, it is essential to remember that the total words of the Bible are 788,280 while total words of the Quran are 77,473.

Home Schooling - What to Do When it Gets Boring
You started the year off great. Both you and your child were excited about another year of home schooling, then BAM!, you find yourselves doing multiplication tables and spelling words over and over again. Boring! One of the biggest reasons children in schools don't learn is because they are b-o-r-e-d! Perhaps older teachers have lost their enthusiasm for teaching and are just going through the motions. Perhaps, a class is covering a topic that the child has no interest in. This is not to say that it is your job as a home school parent to keep your child on the edge of his or her seat every minute of every day you teach. Sometimes they are just going to HAVE to practice their multiplication tables...
How Many Hours a Day Should You Home School
One of the most confusing parts of home schooling is how many hours should you home school your children. Should you have your classes everyday, can you miss a day or two? These are very important questions that you will have to answer when you have a home school. The great thing about having a home school is that you can be flexible with the hours. You don't have to have classes starting at 8 am every morning. Maybe your child learns better starting at 10am or even in the evening. You can teach them anytime that is best for you. How do you figure out how many hours you need to teach your children every week? A lot of parents will have the schedules made by how well the students cover the subjects...
Telling Our Story to Colleges
Through the years as I have worked with students, I never fail to be amazed at what wonderful people they are. They are each so unique and have done interesting things. Yet, as I look over the list of activities they initially send to me or read their first essay, nothing appears to be distinctive about them. I see little to separate them from the other thousands of young people with good grades and big dreams. It is not a problem with the kids, it is a problem with the way they have presented their information to me. The activities are just a jumble of information that is not very clear and the essay is a shallow attempt to be clever that tells me nothing about the student at all. The problem is...
A Failing Grade - What Purpose Does it Serve?
We have to ask ourselves what we are assessing when we give a child a failing grade. This is a hot topic amongst homeschoolers who tend to take a critical view of the school system. Schools are reluctant to assign a failing grade to young children and I have heard many parents bemoan the fact that kids are getting away with something by not failing. They see it as missing a natural consequence for their behavior. But is it the school's job to assess behavior? Let's say the subject is LA and the project is to write a paragraph. If the child doesn't do it, we might give her an F grade. Are we saying that she cannot write a paragraph or that she is lazy? Are we giving her an F in skill or in effort...

Tap after me - Use any small object that makes noise and tap a rhythm on a table or drum. Then have your child repeat this rhythm. 3. What rhymes with this? Think of a word and have your child think of a word that rhymes with that word. Read them nursery rhymes and show them how each line rhymes. 4. Grab bag - place several object in a bag and have your child put his hand in the bag and identify the object without looking at it. 5. Take...
Key to Homeschool Success - Organizing the...
There are many different ways in which a parent can organize the environment in their home in order to make it more conducive to learning and teaching. Regardless of the technique or approach, there is no arguing with the importance of organization as it pertains to success in a homeschooling environment. Besides making it easier for students to learn and the teacher to teach, an organized homeschooling environment reduces stress and confusion, and promotes an increased focus on the classroom's academic goals and objectives. An organized classroom environment, especially a homeschool environment, is extremely important for academic success. It may after all, not be a classroom in the traditional...
So you think you can't do math in your head, huh? Well, it all depends on how you do such math. After all, if given the right tools to do a job, then the job comes out right often enough. So why fret over the small stuff? Too often mathematics is made out to be some mysterious subject, only to be mastered by an esoteric group of like-minded nerds who co-habitate in some forsaken land. Well, that's not the case and one of the things I'm fond of doing is debunking this oft-held yet misguided notion. Number theory is a branch of mathematics which treats of numbers and the various properties that come out of working with these most interesting mathematical entities. All mathematics has its roots in...
The Benefits of Homeschool Cooking

As students, we become comfortable with what we learn first. Of the four arithmetic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, we learn to add first and for this reason are most comfortable with addition. If we apply the principle of thinking in terms of what we are most comfortable with, then subtraction need not be a difficult operation to master. Consequently, by applying addition principles to subtraction, we find our shortcut to mastery of this operation. Addition is the first pillar of arithmetic magic. Once this operation is mastered, all others can be conquered. The reason for this is inherent in the nature and interrelationship of the four arithmetic operations...
Simple yet Effective Ways to Sharpen Memory in...
p>Did you know that there are three distinct memory stores in the child's brain? They are the sensory register, short-term memory store, and long-term memory store. This is where experiences are retained, stored, and recalled. Memory as you know plays a crucial part in learning and intelligence. And in order to enhance memory, you would need to promote aspects like focused attention, associated ideas, and repetition in your kids. It is Really up to You Many of us grew up thinking that thinking power and memory were inherited - that is why some people are average while others are geniuses. This is a myth, research proves that you the parent can raise your child's intelligence and improve memory...
Designing a Home School Project - Raising Rabbits
The first project on my daughter's list is raising rabbits. She has been waiting some years for this chance to leverage into reality her desire to have some rabbits. "It's school, Dad!" So how can I make raising rabbits into an educational project that is fun, successful, and a learning experience? First, she must learn a fair bit about caring for rabbits, and we must fully prepare the rabbit's home, before we buy them. So, I type "raising rabbits" into Google. All kinds of good stuff appears. She will study these and take notes in her "Rabbit Project" journal. I will get a book or two for her. I type "raising rabbits" into Amazon and see several good ones. I will show her where we will build the...
How to Teach Preschoolers to Memorize the Ten...
Children need to learn the Ten Commandments. It says in Deuteronomy 6:7 "And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children and shalt talk of them." Preschoolers are very visual. They learn better by seeing things as well as being told. If you want them to memorize the Ten Commandments just saying them over and over is not going to do it effectively. You will need to create visual representations for them to remember them easier. Flash Cards Help Teach the Ten Commandments Create some flash cards for your preschoolers. On one side put one of the Ten Commandments. On the other side put a picture representation. Teach the preschoolers the picture representation and say the commandment that goes...

"Kaylee, stop playing in the water! Turn the sink off. Dry your hands. And stay out of the bathroom!" "Yes, Kaylee, I will get you some milk as soon as I am done with your sister's lesson." "No, I don't want to dance right now. It's school time." My toddler, not quite ready for school herself, makes it hard for us to get through the day's lessons. If I let her run about, she gets into everything. If I keep her close, she demands my attention. Home school parents realize that busy toddlers can ruin the best laid plans. This gift list focuses on a toddler's educational needs and a home schooler's desire for toddler entertainment. Reading: For her birthday, little Kaylee got a LeapFrog Little Touch...

Making the decision to home school is, on the face of it, not an easy one. There are many questions that need to be asked, and answered, before you can take this very significant step in your child's education. What can influence the decision is an idea of some of the benefit of home schooling. So here are some things to think of. 1. Your child will get one to one attention with you. The issues associated with large class sizes will be gone forever. 2. Noone knows your child better than you, so you can tailor the lessons to suit your child. That will be something that could never happen in a conventional class room. 3. If your child is someone who is particularly susceptible to peer pressure, then...
One of the challenges of elementary school math, usually around third grade, is learning multiplication tables. For numbers 5 and smaller, it's relatively easy for most children to just add to the last result as they learn their multiplication tables. The adding trick in reciting multiplication tables gets a bit more challenging when the child reaches the multiplication tables for 6, 7, 8 and 9. Then, even when he or she can recite the multiplication tables in order, can the child really answer the question, "what's seven times eight?" quickly. Success in being able to multiply quickly becomes critical in the later grades when the child is multiplying three and four digit numbers, and then...
Preschool Math - What Your Preschooler Should Know
Are you wondering how to teach preschool math? In order to be ready for kindergarten, your child needs to know how to recognize colors and shapes, count to 10, identify numbers 0 through 10, complete simple patterns, group objects by shape and color, and use mathematical language like short/long, big/little and heavy/light. Here are three ways you can teach your children everything they need to know to get ready for kindergarten: 1. Let your child help you with everyday chores and errands. Have your child match socks from the clean clothes basket, place a certain number of items in the grocery cart, set the table and pass our cookies.

Elementary Home Schooling - Can This Be the Way...
There's an interesting movement taking place across America these days. While all over the world tensions are heating up over wars and saber rattling, while the collective economies worldwide are in shambles and while most of the rest of the world, it would seem, are on their Internet blogs, a small, but growing number of parents are beginning to home school their children. A survey released in December of 2008 done by the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics reported that in the Spring of 2007, over 1.5 million children were being home schooled. And that was up over 400,000 kids from just four years earlier. And almost double the figure from 1999. What's going...
Homeschooled Children and Socialization...
Socialization is one of the most common fears for any family contemplating homeschooling their child. Homeschooling can seem like isolating your child, but it really doesn't have to end up like that. Children can still develop their socialization skills in many other ways if they don't go to public or private schools. Kids tend to learn their best socialization skills from activities they do with their own families, not from following the in-crowd at school. A good place to start is to plan a lot of activities that the whole family can do together. Field trips to sightseeing areas or just spending time at the local parks can allow them to interact with other kids for brief periods of time while you...
