yeah i know this is kind of geeky of me to post stuff to do with my homework, but it helps.
ongman dictionary defines liquid (NOUN or adj) as:
[uncountable and countable] a substance that is not a solid or a gas, for example water or milk:
Add a little more liquid to the sauce.
Fluid (NOUN or adj):
[uncountable and countable] technical
a liquid :
He is not allowed solid food yet, only fluids.
a powerful cleaning fluid.
So the question is how would you explain the difference? Is it merely an issue of technical term versus normal usage term? I need more lucid explanation for the two words. A student asked me the difference between them but I could not really discern the difference.

Chemical vs. Physical
Chemical Properties are properties that are observed when matter is rearranged.
The chemical properties of matter are:
- flammability
- ability to react (reactivity)
Physical Properties are properties that can be observed without changing the object/substance. (ex. this orange has a very bumpy texture)
The physical properties of matter are:
- physical state
- texture
- color
-flexibility
Chemical Change is a change in matter that produces one or more new substances.
Examples:
- Combustion: rapid combination of a fuel with oxygen; produces heat, light, and new substances.
- Electrolysis: use of electricity to break a compound into elements or simpler compounds.
- Oxidation: slow combination of a substance with oxygen
- Tarnishing: slow combination of a bright metal with sulfur or another substance producing a dark coating on the metal.

9/11 memory
In my garden, I will plant some of Daddy's things
The hat he wears for his favorite baseball team.
His special notes he wrote to me.
His favorite songs he likes to sing.
His special collect cars he bought last spring.
His favorite tie that has grease stains.
His favorite fishing pole, even though he has never caught anything.
And I'm going to plant some of my tears, these come from me.
Every night before I go to sleep, I will go out to my special garden
and pray over Daddy's things.
- A girl who lost her beloved dad.....
i cried while reading this poem.............
DAMN TERRORISTS, HOW DARE U DO THIS TO THE MANY FAMILIES! ANY TERRORIST WHO COMES ON THE US SOIL WILL DIE! kILL THEM ALL SLOWLY BUT PAINFULLY, MAKE THEM PAY FOR THOSE LIVES THAT WERE LOST ON THIS DAY! SAVE THE US FROM THESE ASSHOLES!........ KILL THEM ALL AND SMACK THEM STRAIGHT TO HELL!

MAXIMUM RIDE ROCKS!!
I just finished reading the 3rd book of the Maximum Ride Series. Scroll down if you want to see the climax of the 3rd book.
keep scrolling
Max and Fang split into 2 groups. Fang is the leader of the guys, and Max is the leader of the girls. While then, Max and the girls get trapped in Itex, the place responsible for the soon to be accomplished "by-half plan" Itex is going to kill the flock because only perfect, useful, and healthy people can stay.
if it werent for fang's blog, the flock would have been dead and the world empty.
2 key points: Dr. Martinez is Max's mom and Jeb is Max's dad. Ari is her half brother that died in her arms.
The book is good, if you havent read them try the Angel Experimet. (Book 1)

My friends and Middle School Drama
Me and my friends are really close. We back each other up, play similar sports, you know the basic best friend thing. Okay I'll give you their nicknames so I can tell everything that has happened without having to say something retarded like "person 1". If you don't like the nicknames, well too bad.
okay, so me Missy, Mouse, Cupcake, and Eric are like the bestest friends in the entire world. We tell each other everything. With the occasional leakage of a secret to the one we all hate....... Drama King. (sure, we pretend to be nice to DK (Drama King in initials) but she's just a gossiping kind of person.
NOTE: everyone mentioned so far is female
One of the many reasons that we hate DK is her ability to spread mean things about us, she admits at first, but then after a while she acts like she'd never heard of it. So DK apparently told some random guy in our grade that Eric liked him. Yeah and apparently she had to avoid him for two years, to make it worse, he was at Eric's sailing camp this summer. Erin and Sam were in the same group and they had to work together. Thanks to that experience, Eric is no longer embarrassed. Plus Drama King gossips all the time, who knows if Sam believed her.
Enough with Drama King.
So last Saturday we were supposed to play tennis together because we're all trying out for tennis. Unfortunately, it rained all day and we weren't able to go. After maybe around 2:00 it stopped raining, and the scorching hot sun dried all the tennis courts up. I immediately called them but none of them could go. So my dad and sis went with me. There are three tennis courts at a public place so it's free, yeah there are better tennis courts that you have to pay for, but they are far far away. maybe a 30 minute drive?? So this tennis court is crammed into a tiny space. If you are playing alone, which I was cuz my Dad and sis are tennis pros, then you have to play against the wall. Apparently the wall is pushed against the net behind the first tennis court, so when I went to play against the wall, the couple playing in the first court, was like you might get your head hit so be careful, with FALSE SINCERITY! well i sat there waiting for that space until it was dark. While then I angrily hit tennis balls to the other side of the net, although no one was there. I accidentally said "Damn Wall" (no offense to the wall)You sit there waiting until dark so you can play on a wall that sucks and a couple that isn't using the wall wont move to another tennis court. Apparently they heard me, so before they left they said :"were done" well that wasnt a bad situation. But 3 weeks before, i had gone to the same place to play tennis. Some group in yellow tshirts, were playing tennis, a different couple was playing tennis, along with 2 men. So the couple left letting us play. So we claimed that court. I told my sis to stand there while I got the rackets. She moved 5 steps and that f***** group just took our spot. literally, 5 STEPS!! Damn! What the hell did they think they were doing?? So I went up to them and said: "excuse me, but we were here first, we just left to get our stuff" she replied coldly: "This is a tennis clinic" I angrily stomped away. I mentally shot a bird at them. Dude!! were just teens give us a chance, since you damn tennis pros(if you are a tennis pro, don't be offended, it's just them)are just there to practice for a tournament. This is for recreation not professional preparation. They looked like they came straight outta Wimbledon with their professional way of dressing and playing. But they're just a bunch of fat jerks who dont give us kids a chance.
Angrily remembering this..........
