My project is how fast does heat attract to different materials? The purpose
of this project is to inspect which type of material conducts more heat. Four different
materials will be put to the test: metal(aluminum), wood, glass, and plastic. For this experiment the metal, wood, glass, and plastic should be cut to the same size. Second, the four materials must go in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Third, take the materials out of the refrigerator and place them under a 60 watt lamp. Fourth, record the temperature right away. To do this, place a thermometer under the material and record its temperature and do the same on the other materials. This should continue for 10, 20,….60 minutes. To conclude, take the data and of the experiment and put together a graph. The results of the experiment state that glass heated up faster than metal, wood, and plastic. All the materials started just about the same temperature. After 10 minutes
every one of the four materials was at the same temperature. After 20 minutes glass
started to increase in temperature while metal, wood, and plastic stayed at the same
temperature. After 40 minutes glass increased in temperature of 31 degrees Celsius. In
60 minutes glass had the highest temperature of 33 degrees Celsius, and metal (aluminum)
had the lowest temperature of 27 degrees Celsius. My hypothesis was wrong metal (aluminum) did not get the highest temperature, but glass did. Glass had a temperature of 33 degrees Celsius and metal (aluminum) had a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and that was the lowest temperature out of all the
materials. Since I was using aluminum which is another type of metal, but with air particles
inside it conducted less heat. Glass, plastic, and wood were all supposed to have the lowest temperature, but it turned out to have the highest temperature. Several questions from me occurred during my project. Since aluminum is a metal why didn’t it conduct heat the fastest? My experiment was done inside what would happen if I did my experiment outside? Would the temperatures stay the same or alter?

In the Spring of '04 I receiced a Pell Grant and started school. I chose to work instead of going to school, which was a stupid mistake on my behalf. I didn't drop my classes and I just quit going to school so I lost my Pell Grant and the next semester that I went to school, which was Fall '05 I had to pay for it. So is there any way I can earn my Pell Grant back? And am I still eligible to get a scholarship if I raise my GPA enough?

...to another English Teacher.
I had done individual teaching for 4 years, last September I began eaching group - quite all right, scary at times, but then I haven't much experience yet. Though, I do have some experience by now.
Anyway, my question is: there is this group in the mornings, quite hard to get them talking, they are not really friends with each other, just polite, different ages, and most problematic - different levels. We study by Elementary Headway, for some of them it is too easy.

I try different things to get them talking in pairs - topical questions, dialogues basing on what grammar we are on now, also group work, - still I hear simple "Yes/No" answers too much.

Any great Speaking Activities from your activities' bank?
Please, share, give some links, or write a short mesage, I will reply and happily share what I have got.

Thanks everyone!

Why are some teachers so young (in their mid to late 20s) and so damn gorgeous?? I find myself feeling very uncomftorable being taught by someone the same age as my boyfriend..however it's fun to look at them and then fantasize ;) why do you all think? And to the young teachers..would you ever consider having some fun with an attractive student who was over the age of 18 and never told a single soul about your fun together? Fun can mean just a date somewhere or something sexual as well..I'm just curious to know so don't instantly judge my curiousity as sick or gross ( I am over 18 and the teachers I have interest in are in their 20s)

I graduated high school in 2003 and have been at university ever since, graduating with a BA in Sept. 2007. I'm finishing off my classes at uni on May 1st and want to go on to take a Masters in Education Admin some day. In order to get in though you need a few years of work in an educational setting so I figured I would apply to my old high school since I've worked there for 5 years as a summer student - doing secretarial, translation, marketing and camp counsellor work. I was young in my grad class and so I started working for the school in grade 11, at 15 years old.

I'm now almost 21 and have all of the credentials they want, plus a university degree, but when I inquired after the job this morning the director of the school (he's a new guy since it was recently bought by an American firm - it's in Switzerland) said I needen't even apply since he wanted someone older.

I want to change his mind, but how should I go about it? I'll send you my resume by email if needed... Thanks!!

I'm about to transfer to a college in Northern California and before I transfer I want to get a laptop. I am majoring in digital media arts and I heard that apple is still the better brand for the arts. I received a California Governor's scholarship for a significant amount and would like to apply it towards a laptop. The scholarship's website say that it does allow one to buy equipment, like computers. The main issue is that I live in Southern California and am unsure how to purchase. The bookstore website links to the apple educational store. Who do I make it out to? Should I try a local CSU and see if I can buy it there?
