Densities of Different Liquids

If these liquids were in a container together the honey would be on the bottom , the soy sauce would be in the middle, and the olive oil would be on the top. These 3 liquids were all able to separate into layers because of their varied densities.  The honey would be on the bottom because it was the most dense out of the others, having a density of about 1.36 g/cm3. The olive oil would be on the top because it was the least dense out of all 3 liquids, and it had a density of about .92 g/cm3. One more factor that could contribute to these liquids separating into layers is the fact that they are not mixable with one another because of different materials or substances that they are made of.

BP Oil Spill

The BP Oil spill was handled pretty successfully.  One way that BP is handling the spill well is by giving jobs to the unemployed to help clean up the spill.  This is killing two birds with one stone in the sense that they are employing un-employed people and also getting rid of the spill at the same time.  Beach cleaners are being paid $18 an hour and supervisors are being paid $32 which is actually a pretty decent amount of money.  Given the circumstances BP has done the best job they can in cleaning up the oil spill and getting the enviorment back to normal.

Academic Achievements Sophomore Year

There are many things this year that I would want to achieve academically this school year.  One thing I would like to try to improve on is the amount of time I spend studying and preparing for quizes and tests. Last year I didn't spend as much time on this which resulted in lower scores that could have easily been improved just by 10 or 20 minutes of review.  Another thing that I would like to achieve or improve academically this year is to actually ask teachers questions if I have them.  Last year I realized that I didn't put in the effort to see a teacher if I didn't understand material or if I had a question about something.  I could better understand what we are learning if I do this.  The last thing that I would like to achieve academically is getting mostly A's and some B's in all of my classes.
