Density

Olive oil: 918kg
Soy sauce: 927
Honey: 1420kg
These liquids were able to separate into layers because the refrigerator temperature caused the liquids to rise and there densities determined the outcome of what order they were in. Another aspect that could have determined the layers were the position the three liquids were already in when put into the fridge for 2 days.

BP Oil

I think that BP Oil company handled the issue very well. BP payed the largest down payment ever reached of 1 billion dollars. Also BP would pay for any claims or settlements from people and business they were effected by the oil spill. Lastly BP is paying more than they have to and promising safer steps when drilling again. Making sure it will never happen again. They did handle it to successfully because most of the oil is out of the gulf and everyone who was affected by it was helped by BP. They could have tried to do the process faster. But despite how effectively BP handled the oil spill the damage they did, economically and environmentally, is irreversible.

It's a new school year with a fresh start, so it's time to set some goals!

This is my 1st full year at Greenwich High school and very excited to start things off fresh. One goal that I like to set is making varsity for my two sports, soccer and lacrosse. Freshman year I made varsity soccer at my old school Lawrenceville and came back in the spring to Greenwich for lacrosse season. I was close making varsity but sprained my ankle, but this year i have already made varsity soccer and hoping to make varsity lacrosse as well. My second goal for the year is to at least get a B or higher in all of my classes that I am taking this year. These are my two main goals for the year that i can hope to increase over the experience and time at Greenwich High school.
