What Is Sickle Cell Anemia? Sickle cell anemia (uh-NEE-me-uh) is the most common form of sickle cell disease (SCD). SCD is a serious disorder in which the body makes sickle-shaped red blood cells. “Sickle-shaped” means that the red blood cells are shaped like a crescent.

changes in temperature expands the air inside of the basketball causing it to bounce higher. This experiment was decided by observations made while playing the sport basketball. It was observed that when a basketball is left in the sun and made warm‚ the ball bounces higher when dribbled than if left inside. Our assumed result was that an increase in temperature would cause an increase in air pressure causing the bounce of the basketball to increase. The independent variable was the temperature in which

Science Folio Chapter 5 B6D5E1 Title: Importance of maintaining the cleanliness of air Introduction The atmosphere of Earth is a layer of gases surrounding the planet Earth that is retained by Earth’s gravity. The atmosphere protects life on earth by absorbing ultraviolet solar radiation‚ warming the surface through heat retention (greenhouse effect)‚ and reducing temperature extremes between day and night. One of the most important factors drawing international attention which is

Examples of extreme environments on Earth are hot geysers and oceanic thermal vents‚ Antarctic sea ice‚ and oxygen-depleted rivers and lakes.

Little Worlds In today’s busy world‚ many people get so caught up in their own ambience that they overlook all the other things out there. Some people seem treat their surroundings as if it were their own “little world”‚ creating tunnel vision to the array of the actual real world and all the things that occur in it.
