Miami -vs- Chicago -vs National The graph shows that Miami and Chicago both have around the same number of robberies. It might be because those cities are so packed and busy that it would be easy for someone to rob a shop. Theft may also be easy there, because it's packed and someone could pick-pocket easily. Murder is also high in both those cities. I think that's because there are a lot of dark alleys that a murder or assault could be taken place, even though assault isn't so big in Chicago. Burglary is higher in Miami that in Chicago and National perhaps because there are more apartments in Chicago and National. Apartments would be hard to get into because of all the people living inside, they might hear a crash or something, unlike in Miami where there are regular houses and condos. Auto theft is higher in Miami than in Chicago and National, because in Chicago there are other means of transportation like trains, buses, subways, etc... Miami -vs- LA -vs- National The graph shows that Miami and Los Angeles's number of murders are higher than National's. That might be because the population is so huge people could get away with murder. Also LA is the home of all the celebrities, and there stories could be bigger than just a murder taken place. The burglary rate is extremely high in Miami rather than LA and National. That might be because there are so many condos, unlike LA that has more wealthy people and private neighborhoods. Auto theft is higher in Miami then in LA because when I visited Los Angeles, a lot of people drove in buses and walked around rather than took their cars. The safest place to live out of these choices would be LA. Miami -vs- Portsmouth -vs- National The graph shows that murder is nonexistant in Portsmouth rather than in Miami where it is more common. Robbery and assault rarely ever happens in Portsmouth. Burglary and auto theft hardly ever happens in Portsmouth. Theft, such as pick-pocketing or mugging, is the biggest crime done. I live in Portsmouth and sometimes I see strange people walking around, but there are always police officers patrolling almost every corner which makes it safe. Portsmouth and Miami look like they are opposites.

1. Bottles are made from amorphous solids because when it's heated it becomes softer so you can mold it into any shape. When a crystalline solid is heated, it melts at a specific temperature so you can't use a crystalline solid. 2. The mold should be about the same temperature of the bottle because if it was to cold, the bottle would cool to quickly so you couldn't get the air into it. 3. The vicosity is high because the bottle has been formed and is starting to harden. 4. I think the glass is is called a super-cooled liquid because it cools down fast.

I think the apple is non-living because it was picked from the tree and the tree was it's only resourse that kept it alive. If the apple was still connected to the branch, it would be living because it was growing on the tree. Things that grow, change, need netrition, and come from the earth, are living things.

I'm taking Wicket's side because I believe Herbie is non-living. A car is a man-made object that doesn't change, grow, or die. If the battery runs out you can get it fixed or recharged; but it never actually dies. ET also thinks that the smaller life forms are serving the cars, but the humans are atually controlling the cars.
