15、de of the worlds most common waste plastic bottles.The Eco Cooler is super simple to build no special engineering skills are required.

16、then be cut onto the board. Then, the funnel-shaped(漏斗状的) bottlenecks, cut from the plastic bottles, should be put into the holes.

22、lready have an idea of what you expect to happen in your investigation. This idea is called your hypothesis. It may not be right! It is just an idea, though it may be based on work in science which you have done before. The aim of your investigation is to test your idea. Decide what variables(变量) yo

23、u are dealing withThings like temperature, size, weight, and colour are called variables.

30、s sleep schedule(安排). Let me ask you all a question: Doesnt it seem more humane(人道的) to give a teenager perhaps two hours of homework each night?
