All items need to fit in a shoe box Together
Help!,I need 10 items that relate to the book Scorpions by Walter Dean Myers, they have to fit in a shoe box?
I haven't read this book yet, though I have a copy. I did, however, look on Amazon.com to see what the book was about and feel I could come up with at least some of the items you might include.
Thing is, be careful. Seriously. I don't know what your school's policy might be, but since this book has much to do with gangs and all that entails, I'd think you'd include some weopons and/or drug props - but due to safety, bringing a "toy" gun to school could be a problem.
Gang symbol? Probably want something to represent his brother, jail and lack of money. What about something to show all the different things pulling on Jamal? Maybe a coin you have to flip to make the decision about joining or not joining? A rubberband? Yes, I'm thinking metaphorically.
How can you "show" the setting? Can you create a fake mugshot? Something to represent the "system" his brother is part of?
Without reading it, I know I'm not the best help. I checked out some of the 146 reviews on Amazon to get an idea about the story and characters. I've liked other titles by this author, so perhaps this is my cue to read on.

Third grade question - What is the best insulation to reduce melting of ice cube in a shoe box?
You need to insulate a shoe box with any material that would keep the ice cubes inside from melting.
Third grade question - What is the best insulation to reduce melting of ice cube in a shoe box?
Wrap the ice cube in tinfoil, shiny side out. That will eliminate heating from radiant (infrared) energy entirely, and slow down the melting rate substantially. The other method of heat transfer is convection, where warm objects in the environment transfer heat through direct contact. To resolve that, build a little box out of styrofoam that will tightly enclose the foil-wrapped ice cube. The styrofoam should be half an inch thick or thicker.
With these two methods your ice cube should last significantly longer.
The last option is ice itself! If the objective is simply to prevent that PARTICULAR ice cube from melting, then surrounding it with a great big block of ice will be the best protection you can get. The big outside block will slowly melt, but the inside one will stay completely frozen. By wrapping the big block in foil and styrofoam, you could improve it even more.
But I suspect using ice would be considered cheating.

Reply:keep the box closed and insulate it with newspaper.

Reply:try styrofoam. insulation works by reducing contact with the outside surroundings. any substance that creates lots of space like styrofoam is a good insulator. its actually used in lots of coolers
Reply:a freezer
Reply:styrofoam, line the inside of the shoebox with it

Can you tell me an easy way to pack alot of shoes in a suitcase without them getting broken??
Im moving overseas and cannot part with my shoe collection. I have some high stilletto's and dont want them to break while in my suitcase. Can you tell me the best way to pack them all in one suitcase without putting them in boxes?
Can you tell me an easy way to pack alot of shoes in a suitcase without them getting broken??
stuff socks and things in the and warp and pad them with things like t-shirts; and use a suitcanse that has a hard outer shell
GOOD LUCK
Reply:you can ask Imelda Marcus
Reply:One good way to do it is: wrapping around each one of shoes a towel, bath towel if possible, and then put all them neatly pack on a suitcase. Try to make them fit without leaving any space (if you have to put extra towels in the corners of the suitcase as a buffer from hits).
This normally works for me in long trips.
Hope it helps.

My cat peed on my moms coat and peed and defecated in my shoe box, why?
She is female and spayed. Why is she doing these things? We took her to the vet and she is utd on shots. Did she think my shoe box with the liter box?? I don't understand why she would think that.

She does it to annoy you, she thinks it's funny.
So do I.
Reply:The first thing I would do is have the cat checked by a Vet. Inappropriate elimination is usually caused by stress and this can be due to a health issue or can be an environmental issue. So the first step is always to rule out health problems. My own cat recently had this problem and after checking him out we discovered a cat fight abscess. This was causing him to feel stressed and unwell and the result was weeing and pooing in strange places.
If the cat gets the all clear from the vet then you need to consider if there have been any changes to your cat's environment that might be causing her stress. Such as a new pet or person in the house. A change to the house. Or it may be something you aren't even aware of such as a new cat in the neighbourhood.
If it is stress rather than a health issue then you should speak to your Vet about managing the problem. The cat may need medication initially to help it relax and there are other things such as Feliway which you can use in the environment that release pheromones which can help your cat feel calmer.
Good luck.
Reply:Sounds like she doesn't like her box.
Make sure it is being cleaned at least once daily.
It should not be in a high-traffic location - some cats get stage fright.
Most cats prefer fine-grained litter.
If you have more than one cat, you need one box per cat, plus one.
Urinary tract infections always come up when cats start urinating where they shouldn't. However, they usually choose to urinate on something cold, and in small amount. It would not hurt to check. If your household is changing, she may just feel uncomfortable - if you're moving, or someone is moving in or out. That could just take some time to get used to, but I'd look in to your box first.
Increased eating/drinking will cause increased excretion - if you notice a change in her diet or drinking, it may be worth a trip to the vet.
Reply:She could be stressed out, cats usually go to the bathroom in other places that their little box when they are stressed or angry. Make sure you clean all the smell off wherever she eliminates and spray it with something that is safe for cats and that smells like a citrus fruit (cats hate the smell). If the smell isn't removed she will just use it again because cats like to go in the same place over and over.
She may not know where her litter box is because cats locate their litter box by scent.. put of her feces in the litter box underneath the litter and put her in the litter box and grab her paws and make a digging motion in the litter.
If she is a kitten: my 8 week old kitten wouldn't use her litter box because the pellets were too large.. and they hurt her feet (kind of like walking on a rocky beach), so if you are using litter with large pellets, you should probably change to a more sandy kind.
Reply:How old is she? If she is young (less than two years) she may not be properly trained as to litter box ettiquete. If she is an older cat she may have a urinary tract issue and can't make it to the litter box. If the latter make an appointment at the vets because an antibiotic might be needed.
Reply:Ok, she's either VERY angry at you (did you lock her out for an extended period of time/refuse attention) or you've been moving her litterbox around and she's confused! My cat went through the same thing a few times, both from giving her baths and moving her litterbox. Good luck with breaking this habit!^^
Reply:I changed kitty litter once and the cat didn't like it for some reason -- he's NEVER done that before -- only when I made the kitty litter change --- do you have a new (I mean different brand) kitty litter? She may not like it. I never used it again and he stopped doing that......
Reply:Looks like your cat is pissed off at you. Cats show such behavior when they are protesting. Can happen when you leave them for a period of time and feel neglected by you. Maybe when you held it when it got its shots at the vet's. Can be a number of reasons.
Reply:Sounds like she is upset - possibly needing attention. My ferret used to do mean stuff whenever we went away and left her at a pet sitters house. As soon as we picked her up it seemed like she was mad at us for a few days.
Reply:Welll.... Lets see? Cause shes a friggin cat, an animal, duh!!!
I smell pee, poop, and stupid questions. Why would my dog crap in the yard? Cause he's a dog!!
Reply:your cat is most likly in heat and there is nothing that you can do about it so just go with the flow or get her fixed because if not she will continue till she mates
Reply:ha ha ha ha ha thats hilarious
Reply:Because a cat isn't smart. It had to go, so it did.
Reply:HAHAHAHAHAHAHA SHE HATES YOU
Reply:You have one pissed pussy.
