aim of this experiment is to calculate the average human reaction time for a simple task. Hypothesis If the activity is repeated a number of times‚ then the reaction time will decrease‚ therefore the slower the reaction time‚ the further the ruler will fall. Variables - which variables are you going to: Change? (Independent Variable) The Independent Variable in this Investigation is the reaction time. Measure? (Dependent variable) The Dependent Variable in this Investigation is how far the

Many years ago the scientist Charles Darwin discovered what today we called phototropism. I intend to create my own small experiment except this time I will be using artificial light instead of natural light (the sun). The definition of tropism is "a growth movement whose direction is determined by the direction from which the stimulus

environment is being negatively impacted‚ because of the depletion in the ozone. This depletion was created‚ because of all the CFC that is being released by all the factories and other machines that pollute the air. The UVB radiation affects the physiological and developmental processes of plants. Even though there is the existence of various machines and methods to reduce or repair these negative effects and have an ability to change to fit the increased levels of UV sunlight.

Exposure to deadly diseases affects the development of civilization by either giving it an immunity or kill off the majority of the population. Civilizations with an immunity will be able to thrive‚ take resources‚ and other civilizations that happen to fall to the diseases. In small amounts‚ exposure to deadly diseases can in a way help a civilization. It helps because it enables people to develop an “immunity” to the specific disease. For example‚ when you go to the doctor‚ you get shots. In the

Abundance of Riffle Beetles Introduction: In this study‚ the goal is to determine the effect of turbidity on the abundance of riffle beetles. Those that are carrying out the experiment will learn what effects that low and high turbidity have on riffle beetle abundance. It is important to there to be research on this in order to know what the effects will be on riffle beetles because they are good detectors of pollution. This can help one to understand what level of turbidity will be ideal for a healthy
