How Does The Beaker Of Water Affect A Bird's Movement?
Part One
Observe:
- After the red substance fills up the bird’s neck, the bird begins to tip over into the beaker of water
- The whole head of the bird is wet because it’s made of spongy absorbent type particles that make it able to absorb some of the water
Brainstorm
- The beaker of water effects the bird’s movement
- Tilted head of bird causes red substance to go back down and the head is able to come back up
- Evaporation is what is happening through the head of the bird and the neck
Interaction
- When moving the beaker away the bird stops moving
- The feather has nothing to do with the motions it is just for decoration
- With the beaker of water in front, the bird is able to continue its motions non-stop
Discuss
Without the beaker of water

Since gravity is always acting on object in the universe, it is also acting on this bird. Gravity is acting on the bird when the red substance rises up its neck, which causes the bird’s center of gravity to tilt the bird forward. When the bird is tilted, the red substance then flows back down in the neck, so the center of gravity is recovered and the bird lifts its head up back to the up right …show more content…
This law comes into affect with the bird when evaporation in the head occurs. When the head of the bird is dipped into the water, the water evaporates from the head, which causes the liquid from the water to change into a gas, goes into the bird’s neck, which causes the temperature to decrease in the head. This temperature decrease causes the pressure of the liquid in the body to increase, which eventually results in the liquid rising in the bird’s neck.
The Ideal Gas Law is an expression, which relates the pressure and temperature of a gas at a constant volume. For the exact definition according to Webster’s dictionary, the ideal gas law establishes a proportional relationship between number of gas particles and pressure in a constant volume. After the evaporation within the bird’s head occurs and the temperature decreases in the head, these gas particles formed act upon the pressure within the body (bulb part) of the bird causing pressure to drop in the head due to the lower temperature. As the temperature decreases, the pressure decreases as

    The purpose of this lab was to determine the effect of temperature on the volume of gas when the pressure is consistent and to verify Charles’ Law. The data from the experiment reveals that as temperature increases, so does volume. This also indicates that as temperature decreases, the volume decreases as well.…

    Charles’s Law (also known as the law of volumes) is an experimental gas law which describes how gases tend to expand when heated. At constant pressure, the volume of a given mass of an ideal gas increases or decreases by the same factor as its temperature on the absolute temperature scale. It can be written as V∞T where V is the volume or the gas and T is the absolute temperature.…

    In comparison to solids and liquids, gases have many distinctive characteristics such as, it’s compressibility and it’s ability to obtain the volume (shape) of its container. Such properties of gases are vital to society and industries for essential science based theory. Boyle’s Law sometimes referred as the Boyle-Mariotte Law is one of several gas laws as well as a special case of the Ideal Gas Law. Generally, Boyle’s laws explain the inversely comparative relationship among the complete pressure and capacity of gas, if the temperature is reserved in stable within a closed system. The mathematical expression for Boyles Law is:…

    The experiments proved that over time, the birds on the island with the least amount of precipitation had larger beaks. The birds’ beaks were larger because they adapted to the new type of food source of larger, harder seeds. The population of the finches on Darwin Island was considerably larger for the first two hundred years. At one point, the populations were almost identical even though the beak sizes were dramatically different. This experiment will provide data that proves precipitation levels affect the beak sizes and the population of finches.…

    Since the beginning of time, nature has been a great source of wonder and inspiration for mankind. Writers have composed about a wide range of the spectacular elements of planet earth from the mightiest of oceans to the most idiosyncratic species of insects. Both John James Audubon and Annie Dillard describe their personal experiences of witnessing large flocks of birds in flight in their own respective passages. The two authors have similar experiences but they describe the birds in different ways. Both descriptions are full of colorful language style and diction, however their two different crafts differentiate the way the event is described.…

    “He lay very awkwardly with his head thrown far back, making his vermilion neck appear unusually long and slim. His little legs, bent sharply at the knees, had never before seemed so fragile and thin” (Hurst 139). The next quote describing where the bird came from supports the idea that the bird was not where it was intended to be.“‘It lives in the tropics--South America to Florida. A storm must have brought it here’” (Hurst 137). “Everybody thought he was going to die” (Hurst 129) is a quote about Doodle supporting that same idea that is he wasn’t expected to live and was thought to be somewhere he was not suppose to be(living). Thirdly, the color of both the bird and Doodle when they were lying on the ground dead were explained in detail, explaining how Doodle’s neck and body appeared red from his blood and the bird’s crimson feathers. “He had been bleeding from the mouth, and his neck and the front of his shirt were stained a brilliant red” (Hurst 139). “his head thrown far back, making his vermilion neck appear unusually long and slim.” (Hurst 139) “Even death did not mar its grace, for it lay on the earth like a broken vase of red flowers” (Hurst 137). “How many miles it had traveled to die like this, in our yard, beneath the bleeding tree”…

The bird is a sign of cheerfulness in a bleary home. Mrs Hale states, "He didn't drink, and kept his word as well as most, I guess, and paid his debts. But he was a hard man, Mrs. Peters. Just to pass the time of day with him--." She stopped, shivered a little. "Like a raw wind that gets to the bone."
