Dwayne’s Study Zombies

Hey, kewl dudes! How’s all your GED science goin’? I seriously wanna talk about monsters, but I gotta say somethin’ first to all you GED studiers. I like, got a comment that science is totally whack, but I couldn’t post it (sorry dude) cuz of swearing. I get it, totally. I mean, science used to make me swear all the time, till I realized that all the kewl science fiction is based on science… and all the kewl stuff we got like iPods and iPhones and XBoxes and, hey, even the comment box to put your swearing into is all based on science. Yeah, I know, science’s got math and sometimes it’s tough to understand. But it so totally rocks, dudes, cuz of all the weird stuff that can CHANGE THE WORLD! (more…)

Hey GED dudes! Yeah, you know I like dinosaurs. Like, in Jurassic Park, when the big T-Rex starts comin’ at them, and it’s so big its footsteps make the water shake… ba-boom! ba-boom! It’s comin’!!! Well, imagine that dinosaur dancing! Dudes! Hilarious! (more…)

Hey, GED studiers! Anyone out there who wants to be a scientist? I think it’d be totally kewl… like, I could be like Dr. Jeckyl, all in my secret chemistry lab, with mysterious equipment, putting together a secret formula…. Well, I guess real science isn’t quite like that, but still. Like, you could work on a space ship. Or in a laboratory, with microscopes and exploding chemicals and stuff. Or on secret work for the government! And maybe you’d win a Nobel prize! (more…)

Kewl… zombie flowers! Who knew? The GED Science test’s got ‘life science’ questions on it… and that means questions about all the kewl plants and animals and stuff… oh, yeah, and people too. And here’s one of my favorites! The GIANT, STINKY CORPSE FLOWER! It’s totally for real… a giant, stinky flower! (more…)

Okay, GED science time! Kewl… I totally can’t believe my dreams are gonna become reality. Did you ever want to be invisible? I sure did… you know, sneaking into movie theaters… pretending to be a ghost and haunting Curtis… awesome! And pretty soon, they’ll be real invisibility cloaks… I just gotta save up my money, dudes, cuz I bet they’ll be expensive. (more…)

So.. static electricity!!! Makes your hair stand on end! It’s all science, I tell ya’, GED science! Yes, it is. And you can prove it. See, there’s this thing called a Van de Graaff Generator. Kewl science name, right? It’s a MYSTERIOUS object that makes your hair stand on end! No joke. (more…)

I got a GED science experiment for you! Forget books for studying for the GED test…. I learn things by doin’ them! That’s right. Get out from in front of your computer, cuz here’s a GED experiment anyone can do right in their own home. Ok. Here it is. Now, do this before you read anything more. Get up from your computer. You got to be wearin’ shoes, so put them on if you’re barefoot! Then, stand on the carpet and rub your feet back and forth. Now, touch the doorknob. (more…)

You think you’re ready for the GED science test? Really? REALLY? Here’s a “POP” quiz question to test you out. (more…)

Ready for GED science? Are you? ARE YOU?!?! How about testing out your GED skills. So, last time you read about how osmosis is used to make MUMMIES!!! Basically, you put salt on the outside of a dead Egyptian pharaoh, and the salt sucks out the water. Why’s that? Well, there’s water inside all our cells, and the outside of cells is a MEMBRANE… and water can go in and out of it. So, what happens is, water tends to go to whichever side has the most of something dissolved in water. So, you pour a bunch of dry salt (something that dissolves) on the outside of the mummy…and the water says, “Hey! That salt doesn’t have any water dissolved in it. But we’ve got a lot of water in this cell here. We better balance it out by sending more water out into that salt!!!” And the water all goes out to dissolve with the salt. Ugh! A dried-out mummy is the result.

So, here’s a question that was on Yahoo answers. With everything you know, you can solve this question, easy.

“How does osmosis explain the fact that a watery syrup forms when you put sugar on strawberries?”

You’re using a GED skill called application. You’re applying what you know to a different problem. Can you solve it? CAN YOU? Click here to see the answer: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080219200533AARCjin&show=7

And keep studying that science for your GED!

Okay. I was reading about this really kewl GED science thing… OSMOSIS! Doesn’t it sound like one of them Egyptian Pharoah guys… yeah, All behold the Great Pharoah Osmosis! Hail Osmosis! Maybe that’s not exactly what osmosis is… but speaking of Egypt, did you know that the Egyptians used a kind of salt called Natron to dry out dead bodies and make them into MUMMIES!?!? And guess what? That’s some GED science…OSMOSIS! (more…)
