    • When a race car goes around a turn it its velocity and magnitude is constant its direction is changing. If there was no acceleration on it, its magnitude and the direction of its velocity would be constant and the car would just keep going strait and run into a wall or barrier. [9/10]

    • 2nd video: http://www.khanacademy.org/partner-content/mit-k12/mit-k12-physics/v/the-forces-on-an-airplane [10/10]
    • Science is what really olds a plane up. Weight that is forced down on the plane is gravity. The formula is (W= M x G). The lift is the upward forces of gravity pushing up on the wings. The wings are parallel to the upward lift. The thrust is what pushes the airplane forward. If there was no thrust no engine powered vehicle would move at all. There are two types of thrust components that move an airplane one is a propeller and the other is a jet engine. Finally the last force on and airplane that opposes the thrust is the drag. The most common known drag is pressure drag. It’s when the air smacks into the airplane. That’s why airplanes are made arrow dynamic. [10/10]

    e)An interesting thing or things that I learned about the Rosetta stone is that it has three languages. Those languages are Greek, Hieroglyphics, and Demotic (language of the commoners). The last thing that I learned is that I thought that the stone would be in France because Napoleon Bonaparte discovered the stone in Egypt, but when he was beaten at the battle of Waterloo, the British took the stone back to England.

    First word search: Chemistry [10/10]
    Name of the first video topic: Ionic, Covalent and Metallic Bonds [10/10]
    Link to first video:
    http://www.khanacademy.org/science/chemistry/periodic-table-trends-bonding/v/ionic--covalent--and-metallic-bonds [10/10]
    Something interesting I learned: In a covalent bond the atoms don’t just share all of the electron they share only a certain number with each atom. They claim which electrons are theirs and which ones are shared. Another interesting thing that has to do with the electrons that are being shared is that they share the electrons farthest away from the nucleus before the close ones to try and fill the other atoms electron shells. [10/10]
    Name of the second video: Human Evolution Overview [10/10]
    Reason: I choose this video because for one I don’t really know much on the topic and thought it sounded very interesting. I don’t have much front knowledge on the human evolution and quite frankly it’s interesting to know how humans evolved and where we came from. I think by choosing a video that I really have no knowledge on is essential because I am challenging myself and introducing myself to new topics that I wouldn’t have learned about before. I really enjoyed learning the new things from these videos. [10/10]
    Link to the second video: http://www.khanacademy.org/science/cosmology-and-astronomy/life-earth-universe/humanity-on-earth-tutorial/v/human-evolution-overview [10/10]
    Interesting information from video two: One piece of interesting information is that when the meteor hit Earth and wiped out the dinosaurs I never thought about that there could be other species on the earth that we might not know about today because the meteor had destroyed them all. Another piece is that it is believed but not 100 percent proven that our ancient ancient ancient ancestors were some sort of a mole type animal because they were able to live underground and had food stored that they had collected over the course of their life.

    What Is Cryptography? [10/10]
    https://www.khanacademy.org/math/applied-math/cryptography/crypt/v/intro-to-cryptography
    [10/10]
    When two people are sending a secret message, encryption is something that both people know about the message. For example, if they are sending a message in a secret box, and the box has a lock on it, they both would know the combination for the lock. That would be the encryption for this example. [10/10]
    Public Key Cryptography: what is it? [10/10]
    It was related to the first video I chose, and since the first one was interesting, I decided to watch another video related to it. [10/10]

    • The forearm muscles support the hand, so that the force of the ball (by gravity) on the hand remains upright so that the shooting motion can be continued. Without these forearm muscles, the force of the ball towards the ground would result in a faulty shooting motion. [10/10]

    • URL- https://www.khanacademy.org/partner-content/lebron-asks/v/lebron-asks-about-free-throws-versus-three-pointers (10/10)
    • Something interesting that I learn was based on the stats of Lebron James who has an average 3pt percentage of 33% and a free throw percentage of 75% you have a greater chance of making three free throws in a row than making one three pointer. (10/10)
    • LeBron Asks: What are the chances of three free throws versus one three pointer?

    Something interesting that I learned was that temperature is actually the movement of molecules. The faster the molecules are moving the higher the temperature will be. [10/10]
    Name of your 2nd video- LeBron Asks: Why does humidity make it feel hotter?
    Reason you chose your video- I enjoyed the previous video with Lebron so I just clicked on the the next video with him and that’s how I chose it. [10/10]
    Link to the 2nd video you choose to watch- http://www.khanacademy.org/partner-content/lebron-asks/v/lebron-asks---why-does-humidity-make-it-feel-hotter [10/10]
    Something interesting I learned from the video was at higher humidity rates you do not tend to sweat more; it is just taking longer for the sweat to evaporate due to the high levels of water molecules already in the air. [10/10]

    •Something Interesting I learn was the four forces on airplanes and how they fly. The four forces on airplanes are Thrust, Drag, Lift, and Weight. Plus it showed me the formulas for these forces and line graphs. I also learned about how the plane needs good aerodynamics to reduce the drag in the back of the airplane. [10/10]

    • https://www.khanacademy.org/partner-content/lebron-asks/v/lebron-asks-about-the-chances-of-making-10-free-throws (10/10)
    • This video taught me how to find out the probability of something over several trials. In the video, LeBron James is a 75 percent free throw shooter and the chances of him making 10 in a row drops all the way down to 6 percent! Now there is a way to just figure this out by continuing to multiply 75 percent by 75 percent 10 times. There is a much easier way on a calculator though which was covered in the video. (10/10)
    • “LeBron Asks: If Earth’s history was a basketball game, when did humans appear?”(10/10)

    • Something that was very interesting to me in the second video was that there are 2880 seconds in an NBA basketball game. If the game was world history, humans would only appear for the last 0.13 seconds. That is crazy and it just goes to show humans really have not been on earth that long compared to the history of earth. (10/10)

    Something interesting you learned, perhaps a surprise: There is no true meaning behind the letters (variables) used in algebra. Any kind of symbol could have been used such as a question mark, a star, or even just a blank, but when a letter such as ‘x’ or ‘y’ is used, it can be easily understood and read by everyone. [10/10]

    -https://www.khanacademy.org/partner-content/lebron-asks/v/lebron-asks-about-free-throws-versus-three-pointers (10/10)

    -I learned how to use the percentages from the free throw line and the percentages from the 3 point line to see the probability of them. Also, Lebron James is more likely to make 3 free throws in a row rather than making one 3 point shot. This can vary through other players that may have a higher percentages in either 3 point or free throws. (8/10)

    -LeBron Asks: How does shooting a basketball illustrate Newton's 3rd Law? (10/10)

    -http://www.khanacademy.org/partner-content/lebron-asks/v/lebron-asks-about-newton-s-3rd-law (10/10)

    -Shooting the ball does illustrate Newton's 3rd law because our hand is putting force on the ball and the opposing force is the ball on the hand. That might sound weird but our forearm muscles keep from our hand flopping when the ball is putting force on our hand. (8/10)

    • I learned a lot from this video. I learned about bower birds and how they collect a lot of garbage such as, little caps and little pieces that are the same color. Female bower birds will find a male bird with the best habitat. The males build up a hut out of straw and decorate with the garbage to attract the girls. I also learned that male hamsters can smell females from miles away and will travel all those miles just to mate. [10/10]

    • I learned a lot from this video also. The guy explains how simple some animals really are. A sponge and jelly fish are only made up of a few things. Sponges are invertebrates and don’t even have a nervous system. The octopus has the most complicated brain of all invertebrates and has a super good memory and the ability to learn well. The octopus’s eye doesn’t have a blind spot at all. The world’s largest invertebrate is the giant squid. [10/10]

    https://www.khanacademy.org/economics-finance-domain/core-finance/stock-and-bonds/company-statements-capital-struc/v/market-capitalization (10/10)
    Something interesting that I learned was how the different markets of different companies value what is being sold. By multiplying the market price per share by the number of shares, a market value is calculated which is known as a market cap. I feel like this touches slightly on the accounting cycle because of the assets, liabilities and overall equity of a business. Basically it was figuring out how much the company can potentially be worth. (10/10)
    11 major muscle groups (10/10)

    https://www.khanacademy.org/science/healthcare-and-medicine/healthy-lifestyle/v/11-major-muscle-groups (10/10)
    Something interesting I learned from this video is that there is mainly 3 muscle groups in the leg; the quadricep, hamstring and calf. I found this interesting because the legs are such a big portion of the body. The most easily injured of the three is the hamstring because it does a lot of work and is rarely stretched properly.

    THe Beauty of Algebra
    I chose this because the topic went along with the topic of math and it was also featured.

    The narrator gave examples that we can use in the real world, not just examples give in a math class. Algebra is a written equation that can be used to plug in anything and get an answer. THe example he used was a 30% discount in a store and you can find the discount of every item in the store (Discount=p*x).

    The United States officially joined World War I when the Germans sunk the Lusitania in early 1917. One of the main reasons as why the US joined the war after staying neutral was because of financial ties with Britain. President Wilson asked Congress to declare war because it up unconstitutional for the president to declare war. [10/10]

    The Bay of Pigs invasion was a failure. Cuba was communist at this point (1959). After the failure of the Bay of Pigs, JFK didn’t look like he was organized to other countries. The Cuban Missile Crisis could have led to destruction of the East Coast and Mid-West of the United States. The options the US had been to invade Cuba, blockade Cuba (act of war) or air attacks on the sites where the missiles were found. [10/10]
