Write a 150 word paragraph or two that describes at least three everyday things that exist or occur because of science. make sure you use examples different from those given in the lesson.

Specular reflection, or the act of seeing ones self in the mirror, is an everyday part of science that we commonly use without much thought about it. This is basically a reflection of light off a reflective surface, the image does not scattered but is printed on the surface for you to see. Though quantum mechanics may explain how a magnet works scientist really have no true understanding of why charged particles create magnetic fields when they are moved around. The microwave oven is another form of everyday thing that casually uses science. The science behind it is called electromagnetic energy. Basically it operates on a micro frequency that passes nearly harmlessly through plastics, glass, ceramics, etc to stimulate the atoms in liquids and meats to a reaction point that cooks them. Of course these micro waves also over stimulate metals thus why metal in the microwave is very bad.

the catch is that the top numbers are atomic masses the bottom numbers are the numbers of protons and electrons in an uncharged atom. they are the number of that atoms as you would find them on the periodic table. further, the numbers on the left are used to determine the missing numbers on the right

so here we go

atomic mass

239 + 1 = y + 134 + 3 combine like terms

240 = y + 137             subtract 137 from both terms

240 - 137 = y

103 = y

atomic number

94 = z +54 + 0

94 = z + 54               subtract 54 from both sides.

40 = z
