Andres Checa
Hi, my name is Andres Felipe Checa. I was born in Bogota, Colombia, one year before I had my first birthday. In other words I was born in June 7 of 1997. Since I was young, I have been very interested in sports and unusual things, such as the magic, and locksmithing. I started my studies in the Saint Gregory Garden, but I dont think that epoch was the more enriching of my life; actually, I dont remember anything. The real studies and enriching moment of my life, was when I started my road in Rochester School, my actual school, and hopefully my last one. Theres not to much to say about me, but I like music, Sports like I said before, like to study, but not to much, I agree with aborts, and I like to learn new things, things that not to many know. I learned to skate when I was 8 years old, and when I had 11 I won a national competition, later I left the skates, and focus my forces in The goalkeeping.
MAMBO
Recently, The students of Rochester School made a field trip to the Museo de Artes de Bogota also know as MAMBO. In which the exposition of the photographer Ruben Afanador is being performed. Some people had some thoughts about how bored was going to be the trip, but actually it was really interesting, specially the activity before the exposition. It was just an easy activity, but it really helped the group for getting interested in the exposition.
The activity consists in the reflection of an image with just a box, a magnifier, and a bulb, but we didnt knew it, until we saw the reflection of our pictures in the wall. After this we began the walk in the museum, appreciating the images, that in my opinion we really strange, in other words, were unique. Right at the side of this article, you can appreciate some photos from the artist, and some of the trip. The images were really detailed, and were easy to appreciate textures that make the image have more impact when the viewer enjoys the pic in a better form.
Lets see how much do you know about religion! Trivia in the next page do not cheat! (Answers two pages forward)
1) The name of the god in the islamic religion is Ala. 2) The autority after Ala in the islamic religion is of Jesus, even in the islamers don`t think his Ala`s son. 3) The Jewish Holy Book is the coran. The word 'coran' is an acronym made from the names of its three section.

DNA
Do you know what is DNA? Yes? Make a complete definition, now! Close! DNA is a nucleic acid that carries the genetic information in the cell and is capable of self-replication and synthesis of RNA. Or in other words DNA consists of two long chains of nucleotides twisted into a double helix and joined by hydrogen bonds between the complementary bases adenine and thymine or cytosine and guanine. The sequence of nucleotides determines individual hereditary characteristics. Lets see how students of Rochester School Manage DNA! NEXT PAGE!
How would you do model of a DNA molecule? Easy right? Some strands of wire, clay, and some glow. But now try to do it, and you will see it is not an easy task. Maybe if the students had had more time, the projects could have been better ones, even if some of them were really good ones.

Heat is the total energy of molecular motion in a substance, while temperature is a measure of the average molecular energy. The heat depends on the speed of the particles, their number, size and type. The temperature depends on the size, number or type. For example, the temperature of a small glass of water may be the same as the temperature of one pail of water, but the bucket has more heat because it has more water and therefore more total thermal energy. Easy? Lets say this in other words The heat and the temperature are related, but are not the same. The heat reefers to the movement of particles in a certain space, while the temperature is a measure of this movement including other variables. The heat makes the temperature increase or decrease. If we add heat, the temperature increases. If we remove heat, the temperature decreases. The highest temperatures occur when the molecules are moving, vibrating and rotating with more energy.

Have you visit a farm, or an orchard? Probably you had, or maybe you had seen some plants programs, in which the fertilizer is just a substance that makes the plants stronger. Well, in part its true, but how does it acts? What could make a simple substance to a plant? Think about it. How can some wastes of animals make a better plant? The principal roll of the fertilizer is to provide nutrients to the plan in a better way, letting the planter take advantage of the faster and better development of the plant. Did you learn this at your school? Probably you did, but have you seen the real process? Maybe yes, maybe no But this question, asked to Rochester School s students, will have a clear yes. This Year, the eight grade students, had start the process of making grow some plants, by different methods, such as the use of fertilizers. This project started recently, and the result most be ready in approximately 6 months or before, but the investigations made by them, before the plants were planted were really professional, are in these the hypothesis of what could happen to their plants were stated. After this investigations were performed, the measures of the initial plats were taken and this measures will be compared in a lapse of time, taking into account that some of this plants were mixed with fertilizers, for making the process by their own eyes.

Biotechnology
Biotechnology is a branch of technology that is based on the practical application oriented to human needs, biology, basically involves the manipulation of living cells for the production and improvement of products, such as food or medicine. It is used in various fields such as agriculture, pharmacology, and forestry, among others. The biotechnology is divided in several parts, which works for the better life of the human race. The biotechnology may be useful in some cases, but the hazards this cause are really concern, so its necessary to use certain precautions for the development of this science. Another aspect that in my opinion is the most interesting of this science
18
Is the study of the human codes, and how they interact in our daily lives. And how a simple protein can change our characteristics.

In

reason
I
go

because
their

consider
this,
why
do

In Germany, fascism is associated with Nazism. This movement had a strong racial component, which promulgate d the superiority of the Aryan race and sought the exterminati on of other groups such as Jews, gypsies and blacks.

RMUN
The United Nations is an organization of sovereign states. The states are associated with the United Nations to work for world peace, promote friendship among nations and support the economic and social progress. The organization was officially born on October 24, 1945.
Rochester
The United Nations organization was founded by members who signed the "Charter of the United Nations" in World War II against the Axis countries and became the legal successor of the League of Nations in 1946.
Every year Rochester School crates numerous models of United Motions in order of making an activity in which the students learn as much as a real delegate. In February 2012 the Rochester school held a Model United Nations called RMUN. In this model, I had the opportunity to participate as a delegate of a country. The main purpose of this activity is to defend the politics and believes of your country, and with this reaching through solutions by participation in debate in which many perspectives and points are talked.
In conclusion, in the Model United Nations each student learn much about the position of countries on the issues dealt with, also the culture and politics and acknowledges the importance of
international forums to discuss the problems of countries and progress and find peaceful solutions to problems and conflicts that arise between them.

The
Bioethics
The Bioethics is a small branch of the science that studies the Pros and Cons of making procedures in a life. This studies center their effort in making the people see why some procedures should not be developed, given the numerous act against the integrity of one or more persons. For example, the reanimation of a person its a procedure that the bioethics has been studied for long time, and many aspects have been taken into account such as the religious part, that sais that when a person is dying
is because its his time to die, and this, is the desire of god. But, the church even if they believe this, they also thing that a life most be saved when is possible with out entering in hard and inappropriate methods. With all this point of view numerous discussions and several conclusions are made, questioning the real value of giving back the life of some one. Besides this there are many others cases that are discussed in this part of ethics, like the experiments in humans, the abortion, and the loan of cows.
Recently,
the
discussion
of
all
of
these
processes
was
made

given
this
is
a
process
that
takes
the
life
of
a
human
being,
and
that
risks
the
life

the
mother.
Besides
this

numerous
others,

Bruno was not a weak guy, but he always had an obsession with being always accompanied by his dog Logan. Since when was not with him, just his strength and his will to fight was eradicated. One day his dog died while searching for eating next to a dumpster full of biological and possibly toxic waste, which could be the cause of his dead. After this, Bruno spent the night in this dump, crying, feeling helpless and destroyed. He knew that hell need to keep going and as he did with his friend, he will survive. After few months after the death of his dog, he received an offer from a strange but apparently trustful guy. He was meant to be the participant of a dangerous procedure for a huge quantity of money. The process was basically the injection of new and more powerful substances in his body, which will allow several mutations in order to create the perfect soldier. Bruno acceded to be part of this process after realizing, he was actually dying because the lack of food and water. The Experiment or like Brando (the strange man owner of this intervention) name it, process, started in June of 1996, in Moscow. I remember I seat down in a chair, Powers Weapons Modus Operandi Abilities
and I dont remember nothing else said Bruno the first time I had the pleasure to talk with him. And after that confuse situation, he waked up in a white room, tied from head to shoes with black ropes clearly made for harming if he tried to scape. But he did no try to do anything, he just wait. After some hours, Brando entered to the room and said some rewarding words, followed by the words that changed Brunos life, forever. -He said: My dear Bruno, the process was a success, thanks for this, but we wont need you any more Said Brando while he took a gun from his jacket pocket. - But Bruno was not the silly and quiet guy he was before the operation, he screamed and bursted the ropes without any visible injury, making the metal tips bend and break with out making any harm to Bruno. He stood firmly and stated he wont die before doing something good, and that until that moment, he havent do anything that deserves that title. He moved from the shoot Brando made and scape trough the sealing. From that day on, Parker has been forcing the people like Brando to stop doing these types of things. And now, the world is a safer one.
Super Strong, Possessor of a weird but powerful velocity, and in certain way, he have his five senses at triple. Just the claws he obtained. He stop no matter what takes the people that harm innocent persons like he once was. Running, jumping, inspiring trust, and using his senses, in not normal ways.

The presentation concluded with his opinion, in which his stated that even if the books talks about the reality of the country, a text of this magnitude shame our country, given it shows just the bad and wrong parts of our systems, even though the book is pretty good, and let you see the things a totally different and unique way..

But years ago, the theories about the forms and structure were to much, and given the reduced ways to prove the facts, it kept many years as that. One of those theories and the one which was deeply studied in Rochester School by eight grade students. This theory was based on: -Explained Eight grade studentsA sphere with a positive charge, in which little balls with negative charge were embedded. Given the charges of the big spheres contra rest the charge of the little ones, this cause an attraction to other atoms and for a defined shape.

Free Fall
Last Month, Rochester school students made an investigation about free fall and what factor influence in this situations. They made an experiment in which the purpose as to let a egg fall with a parachute and make a clear and soft landing, preventing it, to got broke. At first it seems to easy, state a group of this investigators, but later, we notice that we most take many factors into account for making this in a competent way. We at last, concluded that the more effective form was to make a round parachute, or an oval one, for making the flood of air more regular, and very little quantity of weight for not making the parachute to close it self.

Water Wheel.
A water wheel is a machine designed for converting the energy that produce the flowing water into electricity.. These wheels consist in a metal or wood wheel with special blades arranged at the outside of the wheel where the water will hit after falling from a upper part. The wheels a usually used vertically, in an axel. When the power that the water has, passes to turning the wheel, this friction and movement generates electricity by changing the polar poles located in the motor of the wheel. When this happens, the polar poles turn and generate electrity used for several kinds of needs. Usually these wheels are constructed in big sizes, but making a little one is also possible, but for this, the quantity of power that it will generate will in fact be very low. These little wheels may be constructed using several forms and materials, if them are atrophied for these types of uses. There are some aspects that must be talking into account for making a good and functional water wheel, for example: The resistance, the weight, the location, the costs, and the axis that will support it. Some people use recycled materials such as little parts of wood, cans and cardboard. For making a water wheel in an easy and complete way you could follow the following steps: Get polystyrene, wood, glue, a base as a strong piece of metal or wood, a rotating motor, some wire, and a little led for making sure the wheel works.
57
First you must make the principal part of the wheel, which will be the one that turns and make the motor produce energy. You use the polystyrene for making a round figure and in there place the blades that will be hit by the water. After that you must connect the motor to the led with the wire piece, connecting the two exists of the motor with the two pins of the led, being sure the two parts doesnt make contact. Then you put the outer part of the motor inside the polystyrene making sure that when the wheel turns the little stick in the motor also turns. And is just matter of giving force and speed to the wheel for making the led turns on. Try it!
