AP Bio. Project

In AP Bio I'm doing a project on the Affect of Antacids Treatments on the pH level of stomach acid. Today I just found out that I'm going to be in the school science fair. While doing this project I had a lot of fun because this project was so near and dear to my heart. I found out a lot of information on acid refluxes. I learned that Prilosec was the best medicine to use, but it did not work for me it just made me sicker. so i decided not to use it anymore. During this project i felt a little better about my problem because it let me know that sometimes the medicine the Dr. give you really don't work.

Last Years NHD Project

Last year for my NHD project i did William Still as my topic.I learned a lot of information on Mr. Still. I learned that he was called the "father a of the underground rail road". He use to live here a nin Philadelphia and he tried his best to reunite families back together. Back then whits in the south had Slaves and they were not allowed to be free they had to be slaves. so some slaves ran a way from the south and came to Philly to be free. when they arrived, William Still gave them a place to stay and helped get to a safe place, where they could be free. As time went on he helped people reunite with there families. I loved doing the William Still project last year. Now there are freshman's working on the William Still project.

Geometry Project




I did my project on Johannes Kapler. I learned a lot about him and his accomplishments. I picked him because I have never heard of him before a d I thought that it would be cool to research someone new.

NHD Summary

Topic Essay

I am doing my NHD project on religion and prayer in school. I choose this topic because it’s very near and dear to my heart. With religion and prayer in school there are a lot of different people involved in this big problem that were are having in the world. With every case there is different date and there are different people and all types of point of views. Each case is very different because you don’t really know what the problem was or why they are taken that person to court until you read the case. At the end of NHD I hope to come out with a better understand of why the government feels so strong about separation of “church and state.” The big question I have is: Why do the government want you to keep religion out of school when the world was founded on Christianity and you have religion all in the text books that you teach the students.
I feel that religion and prayer related to conflict and compromise. For many years people have been fighting over this topic because they feel, as thought that you should teach religion in school but on the other hand people feel like you should keep religion out of school completely. The conflict of my topic is that people get into fights when you talk about religion. They also then have a problem with the government when they bring religion into school because so they say its unconstitutional to talk or teach religion in school. The compromise is that you are allowed to express your religious believes in school but only during non-instructional time. For example like during lunch, recess, after school and before school. You are also allowed to have religious groups in school but there are limits to that.
To conclude this essay while doing this project I really hope to feel a lot better about what happened to me in the third grade. It also want educate people about there rights and the rules about religious expression in public schools. I believe that kids will really learn from my project that you can find ways to teach religion in school with out having problems.
