CONSERVATION OF MOMENTUM PRACTICAL WRITE UP AIM: To investigate if momentum is conserved in two-dimensional interactions within an isolated system. HYPOTHESIS: Without the effects of friction the momentum will be conserved in the isolated system. In all three experiments the momentum before the interaction will equal the momentum after the interaction. METHOD: An air hockey table was set up and a video camera on a tripod was placed over the air hockey table. The camera was positioned so it was

ages of 4-7 and during this time‚ the child’s thinking is largely centered on the way things appear to be rather than on logical or rational processes. The most prominent example of children’s reasoning comes from Piaget’s conservation task studies. The principle of conservation refers to the understanding that certain properties of objects are invariant even after physical changes to the object. I replicated his conversations task on a four and a half year old boy named Daniel. I had Daniel sit

The North American Model of Conservation is an important part of the preservation and conservation of our nation’s natural resources. The model contains seven main tenets‚ each of which serve to provide opportunity for our use of the wildlife resources while simultaneously protecting the same resources from over harvest. The ideas presented in this model have been present long before the words were put to paper; some can be traced back to Roman times. The tenets began to become more concrete in the
