Aim: To demonstrate the effects of anaerobic respiration {muscle fatigue}
Hypothesis: I think that after a while, the muscles will begin to grow tired and sore.
Equipment: A spring-loaded clothes peg
Method:
1:hold the clothes peg between your thumb and forefinger
2:relax your fingers so that the peg closes all the way
3:squeeze your thumb and forefinger so the peg is fully open.
4: repeat steps 2 and 3 as fast as possible until you experience muscle fatigue.
results: I was able to keep going for 1 minute 17 seconds before my fingers began to experience fatigue.
conclusion: My hypothesis was right, after a while, my fingers did experience fatigue.
discussion: I do not think there is anything different i should have done, for i followed the instructions, and got the results that were relevant to the experiment.

slave trade triangle
Slave Trade Triangle Map
The slave trade triangle, also known as the Atlantic slave trade, is a pathway, like a triangle, that Europeans took when they traded with Africans, took African slaves to America, and produced Cotton and Tobacco, etc, that the slaves picked. The slave trade occurred from 1600- 1865, and was set up to trade guns for slaves.
the first passage: The first passage was from Europe to Africa. This passage consisted of large ships travelling to Africa. On board these ships were cargo, consisting of Guns and other European weapons.
The Middle Passage: This was the passage where the trade happened. Africans were taken to the Caribbean and sold off to buyers, to be made into slaves. They were bartered for ship loads of Tobacco and Cotton. Whilst on the ships, Slaves were made to dance, to be humiliated. If you tried to rebel and escape, you were thrown overboard and killed. Slaves who did not obey what they were told to were tortured and whipped. The whips had one or multiple tips, and the slaves were whipped to the point of the skin on their back opening, then salt was rubbed into the wound. The same thing happened once in america. The first slaves into USA were taken into Charleston, they were cleaned, and dressed, then sold at auctions.
the third passage: In the third passage, materials like cotton and tobacco that the slaves picked were put onto ships, and shipped off to Europe, and the entire cycle began one again.
This cycle lasted 265 years, but today, there are more slaves than there were during the slave trade triangle, despite the fact that in many countries, slavery is illegal. The most interesting thing i discovered during this topic was honestly the ways these slaves were tortured, on the ships, and during their time as a slave. Yes, it was absolutely cruel, but the topic in general is interesting to learn about, although it disgusts me to think that people believe that this sort of thing is okay, when it clearly is not. Why did i find this certain element interesting? Well, to be quite frank, it was because of the methods of torture. I found them to be very interesting, and cruel.

two worlds, one family.
what does 'two worlds, one family' mean? To me, it means that no matter where you go, even if it is another city, or another country, you will always belong to one family, no matter what. Everyone belongs to one family, even if said family is not biological, and nobody can change that fact. So embrace those who you truly belong with, and do not let anyone try and change that.
Two messages from the movie 'Tarzan':
A message from the movie Tarzan is that there is more than one way of life, understand it before truly judging it. This is because the understanding of the ways different people [in this case, animals] live, and the changes they face as they are faced with an ‘assassination attempt’. I saw this in the scene where Clayton is first seen in the forest, with Jane and her father, and Clayton is shooting down all animals he sees, without trying to understand them. This is also shown in the scene where Kerchak first meets Tarzan, whilst Tarzan is a young baby, Kerchak says ‘he doesn’t belong, all because of his lack of hair/fur’, although that is later proven to be false. It makes me think about how much people are misjudged in the real world, especially those who are Indian/ pakistani/ Asian, etc. Society is well known for judging those who don't look like them, even though we are all of the same species, people refuse to understand different cultures, and push those that are not like them aside to rot. In an ideal world, everybody gets along, both humans and animals, people of different cultures are living in harmony, judgement is a lot less than it is today, and even though we are of different cultures, we are all the same.
A message from the movie Tarzan is that you can be apart of many different cultures, but you belong to one true family. This is because of the life of Tarzan, how he is human, but his one true family is with the Gorillas. I saw this throughout the entire movie, were Tarzan starts of as a human child, living with people, that is until they are killed. He is adopted by Kala, a Gorilla who had recently before lost her son. Tarzan thrives to be one with the Gorillas, but when he meets Jane, her father, and Clayton, he begins to become one with their culture, all while still staying to the fact that his one true home is with the Gorillas in the forest. It makes me think about how people are discouraged into staying with a certain culture, becoming one of them, when people have a true family to look after, even if it isn't biological.
