Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use fresh razors. Go in the right direction. Shave at night. Shave in the shower. Clean your razor regularly. Splash your skin with cold water. Dip the blade in rubbing alcohol after the final rinse.

Answer: Razors that have been used many times become dull and grow bacteria - two problems that significantly worsen razor burn. Use new razors every two weeks or five uses, and clean your razor well after every use. Shave with the grain of the hair, in short, deliberate strokes. Shaving against the grain increases the odds of ingrown hairs, irritation, and inflamed skin. Long strokes often cause one to press down too hard on the skin, increasing razor contact and making razor burn more likely. Shaving your hair in the morning typically precedes the application of some product - for example, deodorant after shaving your armpits. Additionally, throughout the day you are likely to sweat and come into contact with bacteria and toxins from the air. The combination of all these things with your freshly shaved face greatly increases the likelihood of razor burn. Prevent this by simply shaving at night before heading to bed, where you will be less likely to dirty the area. Even when you dampen your skin before shaving, your hair doesn’t have enough time to soften and become easier to shave. Take a hot shower and shave after a few minutes; the heat and moisture will soften your hairs and make them easier to remove. Don’t wait too long, though, as waiting ten minutes or longer will swell up your skin and leave you with a bit of stubble after you’ve cooled down and dried off. If you shave without rinsing your blade, you might be increasing your chances for razor burn. The buildup of hair and product in the blades of your razor forces you to push down with more pressure on subsequent swipes, making it more likely that you’ll irritate or cut the skin. Thoroughly rinse your razor after every pass you take on your skin to remove all hair and buildup between the blades. After every finished shave, splash your skin with cold water to close up the pores. This will constrict the skin and help to close any small cuts or ingrown hairs that are forming. Blades last much longer than most people think. The apparent dulling of the blade is due to the formation of microscopic "teeth" on the edge, made up of mineral crystals from the water. These drag against the skin, causing the blade to grab and producing cuts and much of the razor burn. The alcohol will displace the water and the minerals within it, and evaporate without leaving a residue. Store the razor with the blade edges upward.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Place the pipe on a stand. Blow into the pipe and roll it at the same time. Return the glass to the crucible to keep it hot. Repeat the process until the glass is the size you want.

Answer: Use a steel stand that can hold the pipe securely. This will make blowing into the pipe easier. If you do not have access to a stand, you can blow the pipe by holding it just above the marver. However, it may be tricky for you to hold the pipe and blow into it at the same time, especially if you are a beginner. Let out deep breaths into the pipe to blow air into the glass. Turn the pipe as you blow into it so the air is evenly dispersed. Blow into the glass continuously with even breathes for 10-15 seconds. Do not blow into the glass for too long, as you do not want it to become too cool or lose too much heat. Blow into it for 10-15 second intervals so it stays hot. Turn pipe several times as the glass heats up in the crucible. Continue blowing into the end of the pipe to expand the glass. Always turn it as you blow. Then, return it to the crucible and turn it several times. Blow and heat the glass until you have blown the glass to the size and shape you want.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use crayons, markers, or colored pencils to add color to your drawing. Label the parts of the brain if you want to use it as an anatomy reference.

Answer: You can use a single color and shade in the brain to add depth or use several colors to highlight different segments of the brain. For example, use 5 or 6 colors if you'll be labeling the parts of the brain. The different colors can help the segments stand out. If you're studying parts of the brain for a class, drawing the brain and labeling it is good practice. Refer to your textbook to label the:  Frontal lobe Parietal lobe Temporal lobe Occipital lobe Medulla oblongata Cerebellum


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Gather your materials. Punch a hole in the center of the index cards. Use the modeling clay to stand up the cards. Position the flashlight or the laser pointer at one end of the row of cards. Move the flashlight or laser pointer so it does not hit the center of the first card.

Answer:
This experiment will allow you to create a light pinhole, which will show you how light travels in a straight line by filtering it through a hole. To create a light pinhole, you will need the following supplies:  Three index cards. A piece of modeling clay or sticky tack. You can also use double sided tape. A flashlight or a laser pointer. A hole puncher. A ruler. To do this without any excessive measuring, use the ruler to draw two diagonal lines on an index card that connect the opposite corners of the card. Repeat this for the other two cards. Take the hole puncher and punch a hole at the center of the card where the two lines intersect. Do this for the other two cards. The cards need to stand vertically, at equal distance from each other, and in a straight line for this experiment to work.  Form a stand for the cards using the clay so the cards are straight and upright. Use the ruler to ensure the cards are two to five inches from each other. You can also use double sided tape to attach the cards to a surface in a vertical position. Do not cover or obstruct the hole in the center of the cards with modeling clay or tape. Hold the flashlight in your hand so it hits the center of the hole in the first card. Turn on the flashlight or the laser pointer. Note that the light can be seen through all the holes. You should be able to see the light go through all the holes and land on a wall or surface beyond the last index card. You will note that the light does not travel beyond the card. This illustrates that light will travel in a straight line when it hits a non reflective material like the index card.
