Scientifically brightening your day

Roughly 80% of your height is determined by genetics. A quick calculation: 1) Add the height of the biological parents 2) Add 5 inches for a boy or subtract 5 inches for a girl 3) Divide by 2...Remember height only matters when you fall short on confidence

Hope to see you guys at lab this week.

Drinking stomach acid? Probably a bad move. With a PH of 1.5-3.5 it's strong enough to dissolve metal. The acid is so strong your stomach lining is replaced every 4 days. #mondaythoughts #bodiesarescary

Don't forget to stay positively charged on this beautiful Tuesday. This CATion is trying to stay positive even with his flip-flop troubles. #happytuesday

Even though not made of cheese the moon is high in calcium. @Nasa will confirm 2024 #Artemis

Currently sharing the planet with the largest species of animal to ever exist. They are larger than any dinosaur or reptile. The blue whale can reach a maximum size of around 170 tons.

Inertia: Objects in motion will stay in motion until an outside force acts upon it. Like a luggage cart. #newton #FridayThe13th #elfonashelf

Those G3's! Mr. Waddell with a nice set of antlers. Or are those horns? This buck is a member of the family Cervidae. Cervidae shed their racks every winter making them technically antlers. Bovids such as bison or antelope keep their horns differentiating the two. @BoogerBottom

Warm air can hold more water, but warm water holds less air. Warm water molecules move more. This excess movement allows dissolved oxygen to escape. Fish need an O2 concentration of 5mg/L. Warm temperatures and algal decomposition can create hypoxic waters that suffocate fish.

Too cold to snow? With a drop in temperature colder air has less kinetic energy. This lowers the amount of water it can hold. A ground air temperature below 0 usually creates air to dry for a heavy snow. More accurately: Too cold for ample moisture to generate a heavy snow

The Eiffel Tower is listed as 1,063 feet, but due to thermal expansion this can fluctuate up to 15 cm(6") depending on temperature. The increase in volume can be credited to an increase in kinetic energy. Hot matter moves faster and expands. #kinetictheoryofmatter
