By Sandile MHlophe -

 

Topics

  • Friction
  • Thermodynamics
  • Heat

Description

Move the Chemistry book and observe what happens.

Sample Learning Goals

  • Describe a model for friction a molecular level.
  • Describe matter in terms of molecular motion. The description should include: diagrams to support the description, how the temperature affects the image, what are the differences and similarities between solid, liquid and gas particle motion; how the size and speed of gas molecules relate to everyday objects.

Well in this post I will explain to the best of my knowledge what is free will and whether we have it or not. can you escape fate? Let's consider the story below: When Thabiso was born a prophet foretold that he would grow up to kill his father and then marry his mother. His father fearing for his life decided to leave the baby in the wilderness with the hope that he will die, thefore the prophecy will not come  true.

 ISINGENISO  Umyalezo yilokho umbhali asixwayisa noma aseluleka ngakho enovelini/yisifundo esitholakala uma sifunda inoveli. Umyalezo uchaza ukuthi umbhali ubehlose ukusazisani ngokubhala le ndaba. Umyalezo wale noveli uthi: Ukungawazisi umndeni wakho kuba nemiphumela engemihle empilweni yakho.

Why liminal spaces are uncertain and ambiguous and promote a feeling of communitas amongst the people who occupy these spaces.  Posted by  Sikhanyisiwe Mkhonto We are constantly moving from one space to another. These are often large socially constructed spaces that create meanings or serve a function in our society. There are however spaces where we are neither in nor out. This space is the centre of two large spaces. A small space where one feels connected with the fellow members who are occupying that small space in that moment (Shortt, 2015: 634).
