Botany: Explain 3 things that you have learned about bacteria through this class.
Env Chem: How does your water footprint compare to others you know? Why? How could you modify your water footprint so that it has less of an impact on the environment?
Physics: Mr. Blair walks along and twirls his keys in a circle at the end of a KSU lanyard down the hallway. If the keys have a centripetal acceleration of 145m/s2 and the lanyard has a length of 35 cm, what is the tangential speed of the keys? If the keys have a mass of 200.0g, what is the force experienced by the keys?
