1)If I were to drive to the ASU football game that is furthest away from Boone, how many miles would I drive one way?
I used google maps to find the answer to this question. I provided a starting location (Appalachian State University) and an ending destination (University of Michigan, Ann Arbor). I got 573 miles.
2)How many registered home schools are in Watauga County?
I searched Google and Ask.com numerous times, I also used the advanced seach tools for both these sites. I finally found a newspaper article from Watauga Democrat with a statistic reading "Watauga has 240 “home schools” with 513 students enrolled."
3)# How many grants and how much ($$) current grant funding does the Department of Computer Science at Appalachian have from the National Science Foundation (nsf.gov)?
I used google, and went to the NSF website. Then I searched current awards by typing in Appalachian State university. Dr. Rahman Tashakkori was awarded $136,162.00. Dr. Cindy Norris was also awarded $149,973.00.
4)How many days does it take for a honeybee colony to produce a queen bee?
For this question, I used wikipedia to try to find out the answer. It didn't answer the question directly, but I utilized a link on the bottom of the page to get to another website that had the information in an understandable context. http://gears.tucson.ars.ag.gov/rf/life/1967.html
The queen develops from a fertilized egg the same as the worker bees. The egg hatches in 3 days, For 5 days the queen larva is fed a food secreted by the worker bees known as royal jelly. Then the larva is sealed in its cell where it spins a cocoon and goes through a number of transformations before emerging 7 days later as a fully developed queen bee. Five to 8 days after the queen emerges, she leaves the colony to mate with a number of drones or male bees.
5) What is the current temperature in your home town?
I used google to go to weatherchannel.com. Then I typed in my area code from home(Cary, NC, 27519) and found out that the current temperature is 73 degrees and raining.
