Image:  YouTube Summary: Chronic stress, or long-lasting stress, can make you feel isolated, overwhelmed and make you have sudden changes in mood. An example of chronic stress is getting overworked on a regular basis. When you are overworked and you are stressed about what you have to complete the size, function, and structure of your brain are affected. After a natural disaster, people are overcome with feeling shock, but that eventually morphs into guilt, depression, and anxiety. People who are suffering from the loss of a loved one, can feel helpless and powerless. The traumatic effects of natural disasters, no matter the natural disaster, show that victims suffer from PTSD and guilt of surviving. This is because, although not all disasters are the same, the survivors all endured a catastrophic, life-changing event, in which they experienced loss. However, the traumatic effects of a natural disaster are different on the brain, depending on the disaster, because...

Question 7:  The Earth is tilted __ degrees. Right Answer:  23.5 Explanation: 23.5 is the correct answer because the Earth's axis is tilted at 23.5 degrees. Question 15:  What type of tide would this arrangement of earth-moon-sun create? Right Answer: Spring tide Explanation: The correct answer is spring tide because when the Moon, Sun, and Earth are in line the Sun and Moons gravitational pulls work together to create spring tides. (Spring tides have really high high tides and really low low tides). Question 17:  Why do we experience the changing of the season on the earth? Right Answer:  the tilt of the Earth's axis Explanation: The correct answer is the tilt of the Earth's axis because as the Earth revolves around the Sun, the tilt of the axis affects the position of the Earth in relation to the Sun which causes a change in seasons throughout the year.  Question 21:  Which solar system event can only occur duri...

Image: Summary: Pitch is the highness or lowness of the sound created whereas volume is how loud or quiet a sound is. Frequency is how many 'cycles' of a wave occur in one second, the amplitude is how large a wave is from the middle to the crest and the wavelength is the measure from crest to crest. You can tell that the frequency of a wave is higher or lower based on how close together every single wave is. Pitch is related to frequency because the higher the frequency the higher the pitch is, and vice versa. With the different volumes, you can tell that the height of the waves differs, as well. The louder note has a higher amplitude, whereas the softer note has a lower amplitude. Backward-Looking: What problems did you encounter while you were working on this piece? How did you solve them? The major problem we encountered while working on this project would be tuning the instrument. Since my group and I used various materials as our bars, some thicker than others...

Image:  PxHere Summary: Music fills our life more than we know it, and music is created by instruments A musical instrument can be virtually anything that makes noise, but the most common are guitars, drums, and flutes and each falls into its own family. The instrument families include string, woodwind, and percussion, etc. An instrument is placed in a family, based on the noise it makes, how you play it, and what it's made up of. Guitars are a string instrument because it makes a noise through the vibrations of the strings. As for flutes they fall under the woodwind family because the noise it creates is made with the help of air, whereas drums are part of the percussion family whose instruments create sound through contact. In other words, percussion instruments make noises when they are hit. S&EP-Using Models:  I created a model, in the form on an instrument, that can play 8 notes. The model created was based on the design my team and I c...

Image: Klipsch Summary: Waves are known to carry energy, but they can carry messages, as well. Signals are made by a transmitter. From there, the signals are sent to a receiver. The receiver then converts these signals into a message. Signals can be either digital or analog and the difference is that digital signals are like small pulses (like made with the slinky) whereas analog signals are ongoing waves (like from the activity). An example of analog vs digital in this instance could be represented by a clock. An analog clocks ticks which is an ongoing movement, while a digital clock changes time every so often. Fun Fact: More complex messages can be sent through a digital format by sending more pulses, but in order for this to happen, it takes time. This is why when you are streaming in a higher resolution or downloading an image in a high resolution it takes more time than something of lower resolution. S&EP- Using Models:  A model is an example, most typi...

     The music industry, a popular and ever-growing business, has and will continue to push an ultimatum upon all who wish to enter it. Digital or Analog? Although both forms have benefits and consequences, using analog technology for an "original" sound is too much to pay for the drawbacks that follow. "Analog recordings can be more...natural sounding," says Charmain2010 in Analogue Vs Digital: Advantages Vs Disadvantages paragraph 2. However, according to Dave Mustaine in the video Analog or Digital? (1993) created by PastVid, "The reason people who use analog, try digital and say digital is no good...it's because they can't play." (2:29) . As a recording artist, hoping to pursue a career in which my music can flourish, I would like to record my music in a digital format.      Editing music in an analog format is a tedious task, both time consuming and frustrating. Digital editing techniques make it so "it is far easier to edit, you can...
