Measuring Jug For Next Week

Please ask your parents if they have a measuring jug, preferably plastic, for us to borrow next week. I would prefer to do the experiment outside so we will have to wait for a day when it doesn't rain. For this reason, the jug might need to be left in the room for a few days or you would need to bring it in and take it home every day until we do the experiment until we are able to do the experiment.

Size: It is best if the jug is big enough to fit your fist in. I can't explain more than that because the purpose of the activity requires you working something out with your team.

Stopwatch: We will also need to time the activity, so please be sure to bring a stopwatch or your watch (if it has a stopwatch on it) if you have one.

Hero 1: Nina Simone

At her first recital, 12-year-old Nina Simone refused to start singing after her parents were moved from the front row to make room for whites

Nina Simone was not only an exceptional musical legend but also a civil rights activist who whole-heartedly engaged in eradicating the racial differences in the United States. The artist that recorded more than forty albums in the period between 1958 and 1974, was the sixth of eight children born to the family of Mary Kate and John Divine Waymon.

Sara Jane Moore - The Woman Who Tried To Assassinate Gerald R. Ford

Thank you, Bronte for finding and sharing this.

I stand corrected on a number of points. Although I was right about Sara Jane Moore still being alive, I was very wrong about two things. Firstly, she was released from prison in 2007 and, more importantly, her gun did work. Ford survived because she missed him. I am not sure why I thought that her gun did not work properly. Watch the very interesting video below to find out more.
