Due to the fact the WATER group was the only group that grew past gremination my hypothesis

My hypothesis is correct*

I meant to ad that to the end.

Killersup is studying the periodic table in his science class...whats the best way to memorize it?

In third grade i made a song to memorize it. I forget the song, but remember the first twenty still. I have a huge periodic table on my wall.

so in third grade i drew up blueprints for an energy efficient friction generator rather than a magnetic generator. It used the friction from two piston powered steel plates to cause a heat energy transfer that could power a car. Sadly my design involved perpetual motion which is impossible. the intake of power would be very close if not more than the output. i was heartbroken when i learned that.

I also thought up plans of a static electric collector that doubled as a vacuum. so as you vacuum carpet, it collects static electricity that was stored in a battery in the vacuum that could be either used to power the vacuum, or be taken out and put into the power grid or personal energy storage thing. i know i am missing details bit i was in the fourth grade. cut me some slack.

My hypothesis that explain why my experiment resulted the way it did is that the other to ligiuds GATORADE and SODA could not properly hydrate the plants. As much as I would love to try to test this new hypothesis I don't have the means or time right now.

You might hold something there. My first guess would be that the high ionic concentration in both drinks prevent the pea seed from taking up much water; at least that would be the case for two permeable liquid compartment^^

For anyone who has taken physics and chemistry in highschool, what's harder? I always thought chemistry was easier but I was told physics is easier?

Bit of a 'meh' revival, but I need to know some things to see if I got them right in my exam.

Is ice on roads an example of wasteful friction?
What's the difference between magnetic materials and non-magnetic materials?

Garages tend to be pretty draft, as do attics.
