I'm just going to experament on them (believe me nothing like injecting them with helium or force feeding them crack or something) I just need to know how long it takes for a regular mouse to get into adult-hood.

For those of you who might freak out, seriously grow up. I'm just testing wether or not artificial growth hormones in dairy products affect us people physicaly and mentaly.

Same Q, different time: Binomials, trinomials? Differences of squares, differences of cubes? Are there certain steps for any of these? Any easy formulas that will make it so much easier? I freaking hate them!... Thanks for all the help, I appreciate it :)

(X^2-X^2)=(X^2-X^2)
(DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 2 SQUARES)(X-X)(X+X)=(TAKE A COMMON FACTOR)X(X-X)
DIVIDE BOTH SIDES BY (X-X)
(X+X)=X
2X=X...........DIVIDE BOTH SIDES BY X
2=1!!!!!!!!!!!!! IS THAT POSSIBLE ??IF NOT DO YOU KNOW WHATS WRONG WITH THE CALCULATIONS ?!BTW ALL THE MATH OPERATIONS ARE CORRECT!

Quick note, I DID NOT procrastinate, I just got it like... I think Wednesday, me and my parents have been discussing what to do my project on. I would like to do something out of the ordinary, nothing like "do this to this and record what happens," or something. I was thinking of seeing how dogs react to certain types of music, but what if my dog does nothing? That would be fun for just a casual experiment but I have to take into consideration that this will be going into a school project. I am interested in almost any type of science. Thanks for your help, it is greatly appreciated! The one that gets me an A+ gets the best answer :P Just kidding.

Starting with just raw materials such as Iron Ore, Water, Salt, sand, dirt, Seeds, trees, etc. what could make. As if you were put back in time before any current advancements. So all the raw materials are all there but that is all. You just use what you know in your head currently today. No books. Where would you start ?
