# Introduction

In Splinter Cell you play as a character called Sam Fisher. Sam Fisher is an operative for the National Security Agency, (the NSA), which is a real-life organization. One (probably fictional) part of the NSA is the Third Echelon. The Third Echelon is a brand new branch of the agency. It was formed to tackle the increasing uses of electronic intelligence held by hostile entities. When intelligence cannot be obtained by basic recon or remote hacking, the Third Echelon are granted permission to conduct physical operations.
They deploy lone units knows as Splinter Cells. You play as one of these, or more specifically, you play as the BEST Splinter Cell; Sam Fisher. Like a sliver of glass, a Splinter Cell is small, sharp and nearly invisible. They are put into enemy territory to gain intelligence, supported by a remote team with inter-agency consultants and access to CIA satellite photos. The Splinter Cell uses many gadgets and weapons to progress though the levels. You will find yourself rappelling off walls, using sticky cameras, sticky shockers, thermal and night vision, optic cables, lockpicks and many other modern tools. Of course, stealth is important, and sometimes mission critical. Intelligence is the name of the game. You will have to traverse though levels, knocking out/killing people and stealing datasticks they are carrying, hacking computers and even logging on to the CIA mainframe (Did someone say Mission Impossible?). All in all the game involves strategy, patience and planning.

# Games

There are currently a number of Splinter Cell games.
* Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell
* Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow
* Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
* Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Essentials
* Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent

Platforms to raise awareness
   * A new avenue for the public share their story via the online tribute wall
   * A physical Tribute wall set up where participants can pin their tribute cards to the wall. Cards are easily downloadable
   * Blogs were featured where participants can write their stories.
Use of Pink
   * Pink, the official colour of breast cancer, became the predominant colour of the day. Most of the runners turned up in pink, the goodie bag was in pink, the bottle caps for the bottled water were pink.
More could be done to increase awareness of breast cancer. There was no evidence of education on breast cancer via the website, to teach the public on the early detection and screening process. Locations of screening clinics could be advertised, but was not present. On the spot screening could be done if possible in ‘mamo-busses’ on the event day to encourage early detection.

# School Science/Story of Magnet
## Content-1 Information

People are curious about knowing the unknowns. Many things in the world are unknown or not understood. This chapter is about magnets. Magnet is a technical term but is usually used to mean a thing that attract iron.

## Content-2 Story

More than two thousand years ago a shepherd boy,'Magnus' by name, was watching his sheep 🐑. He was carrying a big stick with a iron point under the stick. As he watching his sheep, he put his stick on a piece of rock.But when he wanted to run after the sheep, which has wandered too far away. He found to his surprise that it was too difficult to take his stick off the rock. From this rock came a mysterious force. Which was attracting the iron object of his stick. Magnus was the first person who found this kind of rock. And this kind of rock is the ancient Magnet of the world. And this rock was named after the inventor-Magnus. In really magnets take their name from the town - 'Magnesia'. People believed that there were hole island of a magnetic nature that could attract all the iron metals of the world. But after some years they were start believing that the magnet rock attract a iron metal when it was so near from the magnet. People soon realized that magnetite not only attracted objects made of iron but when made into the shape of a needle and floated on water.

## Content-3 Scientific Explanation

Magnetite always pointed in a North-South direction creating a primitive compass. In our world we can navigate the direction by compass, which is working by the rules of Magnet. We are using Magnet for various purpose in all Scientific field. Magnet are used to move things around. Generally Magnet use in a Generator, in a Transformer, in a Motor, in a Speaker, in a fan etc.

## Content-4 Types of Magnet

There are three (3) types of magnet. They are 1- permanent, 2- temporary and 3- electromagnet. 1. Permanent magnet is kind of a real magnet. That means this is a mineral magnet. 2. Temporary magnet means a magnet which is not real but it works like a magnet. Such as solenoid. Solenoid is a temporary magnet which is made from a rod with electric coil.3. Electromagnet is a magnet which is made on a electric field.
# School Science/Testing leaves for starch

Testing leaves for starch

## Introduction

In a food chain, plants are usually the producers, which means they can make food by themselves. They make food by carrying out photosynthesis, then storing the food made in the form of starch.

### Aim

The aim of the experiment is to compare a covered part of a leaf to an uncovered part of a leaf to see whether plants produce starch

## Equipment

* Beaker
* Test tube
* Water 200 ml
* Boiling water any amount that doesn't exceed 600 ml
* Ethanol 5 ml
* White tile
* Iodine solution 3 drops
* Safety Goggles
* Leaves
* Bunsen burner
* Apron
* safety mat
* gauze
* tripod
* forceps or tweezers
* glass rod

## Safety precautions

* Wear safety goggles
* Keep ethanol away from Bunsen burner; ethanol is flammable
* Tie the hair back
* Tuck ties, files and loose material away
* Keep all bags out of the way to avoid tripping up.
* Make sure you are not wearing tight clothes
* Use the forceps to place the leaf in the boiling water

## Method

* Arrange the apparatus as shown in the figure.
* Place a beaker of hot water in the hot water bath. When the water has boiled add the leaf that had been in light.
* Wait 3 minutes for the leaf to boil (this is to get rid of the waterproof layer and break the open cells and make it soft).
* Take out the leaf using the forceps.
* soak it in the ethanol and the water.
* Put the leaf in a boiling tube and cover with ethanol.
* Put the tube of ethanol plus leaf into the beaker of hot water WITHOUT the bunsen burner on as ethanol is highly flammable.
* Dip the leaf back into the hot water, using the forceps.This is done to get the ethanol off the leaf.
* Spread the leaf out on the tile using the glass rod. Add about five drops of iodine solution on to the leaf and observe.
* Carefully draw a diagram of the leaf marking any areas that have stained black.

## Results

From this experiment, you will discover that leaves contain starch in the black parts of the leaf. But originally where the green parts of the leaf were present starch is available in lesser quantity.
# School Science/Types of Electric Circuit

An electric circuit is a complete path of electrical current formed by the interconnection of one or more sources with or without electric loads (resistant). Mainly electric circuits are 2 types. They are 1.AC Circuit and 2.DC Circuit. But here are more some kinds of circuit which shown below.

## There are 2 types of electric circuit according to the source

They are active circuit and passive circuit. 1.Active circuit- This is a one kind of electric circuit which has one or more active electric sources. 2.Passive circuit- This is a one kind of electric circuit which has no electric source.

## There are 3 types of electric circuit according to connection

They are series circuit, parallel circuit and mixed circuit. 1.Series circuit- Series circuit is an electric circuit which has one way for passing the current. 2.Parallel circuit- This is an electric circuit which has more than one way for passing the current. 3.Mixed circuit- Mixed circuit means that a circuit with series and parallel connection.

## There are 2 types of electric circuit according to the characteristics of parameters

1.Linear circuit- This is an electric circuit whose parameters are always constant. And No.2 Non-linear circuit- This is an electric circuit whose parameters are non-constant.
# School Science/Screaming jelly babies

Screaming jelly babies is a chemistry demonstration which is practised in schools all over the United Kingdom. It is often used at open evenings to demonstrate just how much fun secondary school science can be.
This demonstration nicely shows just how much energy there is in a "jelly baby". Potassium chlorate is a very strong oxidizing agent that oxidises the sugar in the jelly baby all at once. The following text gives an explanation of how to perform the experiment. This should only be done by an experienced chemist or chemistry teacher.

## Safety

* Make sure test tube is completely clean. Any trace of an oxidisable material can cause an explosion.
* Surround the apparatus with safety screens.
* Ensure the pupils/audience are seated several metres away and that they are wearing eye protection.

## You will need

* Jelly babies
* Large test tubes
* Clamp Stand (retort stand)
* Potassium chlorate
* Tongs
* Access to a fume cupboard
* Bunsen burner
* Safety goggles
* Fire resistant surface

## Method

1)Put 12-15g potassium chlorate in large test tube. 2)Clamp the tube in a clamp stand at approx. 60° (just off the vertical) then melt the powder with a Bunsen burner. Make sure you are wearing safety goggles. 3)Turn the Bunsen off, then, using tongs and wearing heat resistant gloves stand to the side of your boiling tube, drop in the jelly baby and stand well back.

## Results

If you follow the instructions above precisely then the jelly baby should burst into flames with a strange, high pitched noise (screaming). There will also be a lot of smoke so open a window. Do NOT touch the boiling tube for at least 5 minutes unless you have protection on.
# School Science/Simple switches

A single switch is a simple device for showing single pole single throw (SPST) switches for use in school laboratories. A cost-effective way of making simple switch units to use with 4mm leads, follows.
See also: School Science/Cell holder

### Equipment Required (to Make 30 Single Switches)

* 30 pieces of wood at least 150mm x 40mm and 7mm thick
* 60 pieces of 0.1mm copper foil (available from most Chemical suppliers) cut into 10mm x 70mm strips and 10mm x 25mm strips.
* 4mm terminals, 60 black and 60 red (available from most electrical component retailers)
* 120 drawing pins
* Extra flexible lead wire, black and red
* Solder + soldering iron
* Pliers
* Screwdriver
* Drills 7.5mm & 5mm
* Solder Flux
* 60 pieces of wood for feet (optional)

#### Method for making the switches

* Get the wood cut the wood to the correct size and sanded if need be.
* Drill 2 x 7.5mm holes at either end as show in fig 1.
* Drill 2 x 5 mm holes near the larger holes as in fig 1.
* attach the larger piece of foil to the wood using the drawing pins, as shown in fig 1. Then bend it over slightly where the drawing pins are.
* attach the smaller piece of foil to the wood using the drawing pins. as shown in fig 1.
* Insert the 4mm terminals in the larger holes, one of each colour in either end, and secure with nut.
* Cut a 50mm piece of each wire, strip the ends and solder onto the 2 pieces of copper foil. as in fig 2. Ensure you have got red wire to the red terminal and black wire going to the black terminal. Then push the wire through the 5mm hole and out the other side so you can then solder it onto the 4mm terminal.
* It should look something like this. see fig 2. these are usually very durable and can be used in conjuction with cell holders and bulb holders etc.
# School Science/Staining onion cells without methylene blue

Methylene Blue may not be suited for storing in classrooms (especially for younger students) due to health hazards if swallowed. The following method allows for a nice staining of onion cell nuclei using normal fountain pen ink. I have used this staining method with students, and after a short demonstration the students were able to conduct the experiment themselves. Only very little alcohol and ink is needed for each student (max 5 ml alcohol and 5 drops of ink per student or group). Success, of course, also depends on microscopy experience, maturity and class size.

## Materials

* alcohol
* water based ink, not the one used for calligraphy, as this one contains particles of carbon that can not enter the cells. Blue fountain pen ink worked fine for me
* water
* slides and cover slip
* microscope
* onion
* small beakers for alcohol and water
* tweezers

## Method

* Take a piece of onion and peel off the membrane using tweezers or your fingernails.
* Put the membrane into alcohol for about 30 s. This will pull out the water of the cells. The membrane will become stiff a bit.
* Put the membrane into beaker with ink for about 30 s. The ink is waterbased and will therefore enter the dehydrated cells. The membrane will stain dark blue.
* Wash the membrane in water until no more ink comes out (about 1 min). Both cytoplasm and the nuclei are still stained blue. We need to remove the excess ink from the cytoplasm.
* Put the membrane into a small beaker with alcohol for 30 s. Excessive fluid (and ink) is removed from the cytoplasm. The nucei are retaining their color.
* Put the membrane into clear water for 30 s. The cytoplasm swells up again.
* Repeat the washing steps 5 and 6 once more. After each washing the cells become lighter as they lose more color.
* Put the membrane on a slide, add a drop of water and put on the cover slip.
The nuclei of the cells should be clearly visible. If the cytoplasm is still to dark (the whole cell is blue), repeat the washing steps 5 and 6 again. If the nuclei are not visible, then the cells were probably washed too many times and the color was removed from the nuclei as well. In this case shorten the washing times in step 5 and 6 or do not repeat these steps too often. If done well, it is even possible to see two darker dots in each nucleus (the nucleoli?).
# School Science/Westminster motor kits

Westminster motor kits are prefabricated kits for making educational motors in school. They are available to buy from educational science suppliers and allow students to build their own motors from two magnets and about a meter of plastic coated wire.
The instructions that come with the kits are aimed at an adult readership so child friendly notes should be given to schoolchildren.
The most common causes for the motor not to work include:
* One of the magnets being turned the wrong way round.
* Insulation issues: the spindles are made of metal and have to be insulated with sticky tape.
* Poor Contact with the 'brushes'
# School Science/Potometer

A potometer is a device used for measuring the rate of water uptake of a leafy plant shoot. The main reason for water uptake by a cut shoot is transpiration (evaporation in plants) and is affected by the transpiration stream.
By changing the surrounding atmospheric conditions, the effect on transpiration of wind, heat, and humidity can be measured. Potometers are notoriously difficult to set up, because air bubbles in the xylem of the plant or in the apparatus itself will prevent the device from working properly.

## The basic design of a potometer

It consists of:
* A length of capillary tube An air bubble is introduced to the capillary. As water is taken up by the plant, the bubble moves and its length of movement is measured by the scale attached with capillary tube . The distance the bubble travels in a given time is determined by the rate of transpiration by the plant.
* A reservoir. By turning the tap on the reservoir, the position of the bubble can be set at the start of the experiment. Some designs of potometer use a syringe instead of a funnel with a tap.
* A tube for holding the shoot. In the diagram the shoot is held in place by inserting a rubber bung in the tube. The hole in the bung through which the shoot passes must be thoroughly greased with petroleum jelly to keep it airtight.
Setting up:
* Cut a leafy shoot from a plant (e.g. Pelargonium) and plunge its base into water (try not to get any water on the leaves). This prevents the xylem from taking up any air.
* Back in the laboratory, put the stem into a large sink full of water and carefully trim the shoot again, by cutting off the bottom under water with a sharp razor blade. Keep the leaves out of the water.
* Immerse the whole of the potometer into the sink. Move it about until all the air bubbles come out.
* Put the shoot stem into the bung, grease the joint with plenty of petroleum jelly, then put the bung into the potometer.
* Make sure the tap is closed, then lift the whole ensemble out of the water.
* Leave the end of the capillary tube out of the water until an air bubble forms then put the end into a beaker of water.

## Using a potometer

Allow the bubble time to go around the corner and start at the beginning of the millimeter scale. Then measure how far the bubble moves in a given period of time. Repeat under different conditions and compare. The usual conditions to try are placing the plant in a bright light, placing it by a fan, and placing it in a humid atmosphere. If the surface area (both sides) of the leaves are measured then it is possible to compare the transpiration rates of different species of plant. A useful comparison unit could be Water loss(ml)/cm$^2$/minute
Limitations of a potometer
* Introducing the air bubble is not easy.
* The leafy shoot may not remain fully alive for as long as wanted.
* Any changes in the outside air temperature may affect the position of the air bubble in the capillary tube.

# School Science/Rotational Inertia Experiment

Set up a turntable with a pulley attached to a bench top nearby. Wind a string around the central axel of the turntable at a fixed radius, and hang over the pulley with a stack of masses attached to this end. Release the mass stack and time how long it takes to fall to ground, thus rotating the turntable with a particular torque for a fixed angular displacement (ex/ 5 revolutions). Adjust the applied torque by changing the mass stack value, and time again for the same angular displacement. Repeat for three or more further values of the mass stack, each time recording the time it takes for the turntable to complete the fixed angular displacement chosen (ex/ 5 revolutions). Using the gathered data it is possible to calculate the angular acceleration of the turntable for each value of torque applied, then plot a graph of these to calculate the gradient, which equals the rotational inertia I of the turntable. Further experiments could involve adding mass to the turntable at various radial distributions to demonstrate the effect of increasing the rotational inertia.
