Balance beam Essays

“Oh my god.” We gaped at Claire, dumbfounded. “Hey, I wanna try now,” Mini interjected. Bailey, Rhea, and I piped in too. We each took our turn on the beam, suppressing our fears and ignoring our sweaty palms. Never did I envision discarding our friendship. In gymnastics, I soared through the air, but my friends kept me grounded. As the levels progressed, Claire, Rhea, Mini, and Bailey remained. Gymnastics

“Say cheese!” said Dr. Prescott. Sierra smiled as the camera flashed. “Good!” Dr. Prescott added, “let’s get you set up in a chair, and the orthodontist will take a look at your teeth, in a few minutes.” When Dr. Prescott left, Sierra explored the tiny room she was in. “Hi, Sierra!” announced Dr. Dragon as he walked in the room, “how is sixth grade?” Sierra couldn’t talk over the tools that were in her mouth. As they finished, Sierra zoomed to her mom. “I still don’t see why I need braces, mom

Balance Beams The United States in the 1950’s was a combination between prosperity and social conflicts. Taking place in the same time period is the play “A Raisin in the Sun” by Lorraine Vivian Hansberry. The Younger family are apart of the main story line, a typical low income African American family in Chicago’s south side. Due to a misfortunate however, Mama’s husband had recently passed, and the family is due to a $10,000 life insurance check. In the beginning the entire family has different

INTRODUCTION Cognitive Development is the study of how the thought develop in children and young people, and how they become more efficient and effective in their understanding of the world and their mental process (Oakley 2004). Children’s thinking is different from adults thinking. As a child develops, it’s thinking changes and develops. Cognitive Development is a major area study within Developmental Psychology. Many researchers ( Beilin & Pufall 1992; Gruber & Voneche 1977, Holford 1989; Mogdil

The AYSO soccer has grown very quickly since it first began. But do you know why so many children join AYSO each year? The answer to the question is simple. The reason is because of the many benefits. These benefits include gaining physical strength, knowing how to follow rules, communicating with others, and becoming strong leaders. These benefits can help any boy or girl with any everyday task or most jobs. Being in AYSO soccer can positively affect a child’s physical body. Playing a sport can

Beam bridges can be defined as the bridge spans with the simplest structural or anatomical forms. They are supported by a pier or a dock at each of the ends. The support is further enhanced using props or simply beams. They are meant to increase the support. The beams are said to be simply supporting the structural forms since there is no conveyance of moments all through the support. Bridges can be made in a simple manner depending on what they are used for and the place where they will be used

I. Introduction The purpose of this lab was to observe and record the bending stress and elastic properties multiple materials. A three-point bend is when a force is applied to the center of an object while it is supported on each side. This experiment was performed to record each material's flexural behavior so applications can be made with appropriate materials. The objective was to calculate the elastic modulus for each material tested. II. Methodology To start the lab, one measures and

Bridges have been in existence since the dawn of mankind. The most primitive type of suspension bridge is simple suspension bridge. Vine ropes were used to link two sides of the chasm by tying it to strong trees that act as the anchor and wooden planks were placed at the base as platform for people to walk on. Sir Ken Robinson once said ‘Creativity is putting your imagination to work, and it’s produced the most extraordinary results in human culture.’(TED 2009) Creative engineers in the 19th century

Truss engineering is the design and creation of trusses that are made of one or more potential materials. Trusses are crafted from a straight and slender pieces of material manufactured then connected at various joints to form a triangular shape. The common purpose of truss is to construct a large structure with the shape and design of truss adding strength and weather resistance to the overall structure(Šimi & Ilijaš, 2012). Truss can be designed as planar trusses, which are a two dimensional shape

From the first truss bridge, engineers experimented with different forms of truss bridges trying to find better shape and the one that will suit them for the particular problems. Because of that we have today many forms of truss bridges. Truss bridge can have deck (roadbed) on top (deck truss), in the middle (through truss), or at the bottom of the truss. If the sides of the truss extend above the roadbed but are not connected, it is called a pony truss or half-through truss. The common concept

The column dimensions were 10 in. in the north-south direction (denoted as y-direction on the confined concrete column cross-section) and 15 in. in the east-west direction (denoted as x-direction on the confined concrete column cross-section). A concrete cover of 0.75 in. was used on all sides of the confined concrete column. Eight ASTM A706 Grade 60 #7 deformed steel bars were used for the longitudinal mild steel reinforcement bars inside the confined concrete of the column. The selection of ASTM

Even though Industrialization was bad for people but it really helped the immigrants in different ways. Some people it was hard to adapt to the new economy and on the other hand, some people adapt to the new economy really fast. Change of the economy changed the look of the countries. Industrialization was very helpful for the industry owner and very rough for workers in the industries. Industrialization brought advantages which also include disadvantages. Industrialization was mostly dependent on

Princess Sparkle Heart gets a Makeover by Josh Schneider, is a book that reflects both traditional and nontraditional norms because it’s about a girl, Amelia, and her doll that becomes damaged and then replaced with different body parts that don’t fit cultural expectations that normally portray a girl doll and Amelia still views her as beautiful. From looking at the book cover, you would expect this book to only reflect traditional norms. The title is pink, sparkly, and the font is flowy but at

Many girls dream of their knight in shining armor, a perfect wedding, and a happily ever after ending. Disney princesses give them hope to find love and happiness along with emphasizing their want for the beauty and grace princesses illustrate. Authors of “Cinderella and Princess Culture” and “The Princess Paradox,” Peggy Orenstein and James Poniewozik respectively, agree that most girls like princesses. However, these articles convey differing parental opinions on lessons girls learn from princesses

For as long as Odysseus and his men could see in the distance, was miles upon miles of the vast ocean. The ocean was exceedingly immense and at the moment, at peace and mysterious. The waves were docile and relieving , and as the sun set the men were starting to be positive they would arrive to Ithaca in the near future considering the pace they were keeping now. Although the darkness of dusk was approaching at a rapid speed, and Odysseus kept silent as usual, but had a awful

James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl is about a lonely nine-year-old orphan who lives with his two greedy aunts. Their names were Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker. What happened in the book is that an old man gave James a bag full of one thousand long slimy crocodile tongues that were boiled up in the skull of a dead witch for twenty days and nights with the eyeball of a lizard. When the tongues were released, they went in the ground and then into a peach tree. There was a peach that started growing

Gender Stereotypes is one of the most important topic we should be able to recognize and disengage ourselves from the cynical roles. We are constantly being told that who we are and our appearances isn’t just good enough, rather it’s the healthy body image that’s all important. This case study would help us in understanding how gender stereotyping works in a better context. We all grew up watching Disney films, the story lines and characters are quite fresh in our heads throughout these years. Girls

As a young girl, I always and still do admire Belle for her intelligence, love for books and bravery in speaking her mind and most importantly, the decision of not changing herself for the world because world often changes. Unlike some of other Disney heroines, Belle’s defining characteristics made the Disney animated movie Beauty and the Beast as a tale old as time. This also leads to many studies on Disney Beauty and the Beast. In this section, I would be providing critical critiques on some of

In the following paper, I will be discussing the similarities and differences between two paintings. These two paintings are Jean-Léon Gérôme’s Bashi-Bazouk and Lucas Cranach’s Saint Maurice. The Gerome dates to 1868-1869 and was created with oil paints on canvas. The Cranach dates 1520-1525 and was created with oil paints on linen. The Gerome is 31 ¾ inches long and 26 inches wide, while the Cranach is 54 inches long and 15 ½ inches wide. The height of the Cranach makes the painting more lifelike
