Many advanced high school and college chemistry students perform an experiment known as the "iodine-clock" reaction‚ in which hydrogen peroxide reacts with iodide to form iodine‚ and the iodine subsequently reacts with thiosulfate ion until the thiosulfate has been consumed. At that point‚ the reaction solutions turn blue in the presence of starch. The experiment helps students understand the fundamentals of chemical kinetics --- the speeds at which reactions take place. 1. Activation Energy

Screaming wildly‚ she jumped. Like a rocket‚ her legs launch off the cliff. Wind rushes through her auburn locks. Cheering drowns the air. Fear and excitement fill her eyes. CRASH! The young woman pierces the calm surface‚ shattering the sun. Then‚ silence. Nothing but the sound of waves splashing the cliff. Time passes and the mirrored surface restores the sky’s azure perfection and his glaring‚ golden eye. Once again disturbed‚ the water shatters. Eyes bright and smile gleaming‚ the fiery-haired

of equipment called “The visual cliff”. The visual cliff was used to give the impression of depth. Gibson tested 36 babies between the ages of 6 months – 14 months. They placed them individually on one side of the apparatus and got their mothers to encourage them to cross the apparent cliff edge. This was done to see if the infants had an innate awareness of depth. The found that babies would happily crawl across the shallow surface but would not cross over the cliff edge. They concluded from this

Analysis The 13 Clocks is a fairy tale told by a twentieth century author. Its themes are clearly statements about the moral concerns of the time and perhaps are intended more for adults than for children‚ even though James Thurber used the form of a child’s story. One of the story’s meanings is that a true life is in a way being like a child. Adults responded to Thurber’s message: The book sold well‚ going into nine printings. Thurber had earlier written fairy tales for children as well as

The History of Clocks | |The history of clocks is very long‚ and there have been many different types of clocks over the centuries. Not all historians agree on the history of the clock. The word clock was first used in the 14th century (about 700 years ago). It comes from the word for bell in Latin ("clocca"). Using the Sun The first way that people could tell the time was by looking at the sun as it crossed the sky. When the sun was directly overhead in the sky‚ it was the middle of the day‚ or

PROPELLER CLOCK OBJECTIVE :- In this project‚ our aim is to use PIC or 8051 microcontroller to control a row of LEDs to function it as a clock. ABSTRACT :- The Propeller Clock is an electronic device which has a series of LEDs on board that rotate with the help of a motor to give an illusion of a watching a clock ( Digital or Analogue ). This requires a DC motor which rotates the PCB connected to it with sufficient speed so as to create the illusion. The LEDs are connected to a microcontroller

"Propeller Clock" Mechanically Scanned LED Clock Seven light emitting diodes spin‚ giving the illusion of numbers in the air An Overview: Top View Side View How this clock works: A motor spins the "propeller"‚ and a small microprocessor keeps track of time and changes the pattern on seven LEDs with exact timing to simulate a 7 by 30 array of LEDs. It is an illusion‚ but it works nicely. To build this clock‚ few things are needed‚ including: 1. Skill with motors and mechanical
