Lab Report Duckweed Experiment
Discussion The highest concentration had the highest population at the end of the experiment, while the lowest concentration had the lowest population at the end of the experiment. 10%, 15% and 20% had very close averages throughout the experiment. The last day had a big influence on all of the graphs. Most of the experiments either went high up or low down on the last day. When you compare the various concentrations of K PO to the control they all grew, many of them exponentially. Research from "Duckweed Summary" showed that Duckweed grows under most conditions. The best way we could make this experiment more accurate it would be to improve it by eliminating the possible sources of error. The possible sources of error are, miscounting, mistakes

    Dry Ungerminated Peas Lab Report

    In experiment one, involving the rate of respiration of germinated peas when exposed to a variety of different temperatures. From a general standpoint the data collected matched the hypothesis formed, as the temperature increases the rate of respiration will increase as well. This was shown as the average ppm of oxygen was taken from each group. Comparing the data from the class is shows the effect of human error on the results. For example group #4 seemed to have back wards results this may have been due to an improper seal on the oxygen sensor.…

    Miracle Gro Lab Report

    The purpose of this lab was to determine which concentration of Miracle Gro was ideal for the germination of seeds. I hypothesized that the 1.25% concentration of Miracle Gro would allow the plant to grow the fastest, unfortunately, my data does not support my hypothesis. According to the information we collected, the amount of concentration with the fastest speed and greatest height of growth was the 0% with plain tap water (control group). Two days after “planting,” my group measured the seed with the greatest rate of growth: 0% exhibited 2.5 cm of growth, 1.25% had 0.9 cm, 2.5% showed 1.2 cm, 3.75% displayed 0.8 cm, and 5% had 0.5cm of growth. As evidenced by the data collected, the height of the sprout decreases as the percent of concentration increases. We checked the growth of our mung bean seeds a second time and we observed the results: 0% exhibited 15 cm of growth showing signs of growth through its stalk, roots, and leaves. The 1.25% and 2.5% both grew 2 cm and began sprouting a stalk. The 3.75% and 5% turned dark brown and appeared to have shrunk which are signs that the seed’s embryo is dead. The data did not match our expected data, because the Miracle Gro had some way prevented the imbibition of the seed which is why the 3.75% and 5% died. Imbibition is a critical developmental process in seeds and our control group with only water demonstrated the most successful amount of growth.…

    Fast Plants Lab Background

    Gregor Mendel is an Australian monk, who worked in a garden at a monastery. He experimented with pea plants, and soon became known as the father of genetics. The reason he studied pea plants was because they grow quickly, the traits can be easily observed, and the plant is easy to pollinate. Mendel’s method was to control the pollination of the pea plants and create offspring’s of the two plants that were pollinated together. Using self-pollination and cross pollination, Mendel was able to select plants that had specific traits and observe the traits that appeared in their offspring. The F1 generation is the offspring that is a cross between two parents. The F2 generation is the offspring that is a cross between two individuals in the same F1 generation. A dominant factor is the dominating factor, and the one that masks the effect of the recessive factor for the same characteristic. A recessive factor is one whose effect is taken over by the dominant factor for the same characteristic. Basically, a trait that is controlled by a recessive factor would not appear when paired with a trait controlled by a dominant factor.…

    I think for both of the graphs show that the treatment with the algae and daphnia was something to definitely look at. There was a significant difference between the initial and final that is very high in scientific interest. But I believe it is also of scientific interest that the flask with just algae showed that there wasn’t much change in the total phosphorus but there was a significant change in the phosphate. The changes occurred because the daphnia ate the algae leaving less nutrients in the water which phosphorus is…

    Ecology Lab 1

    Patterns of plant successional change in Gatineau Park, Old Chelsea, were studied quantitatively. The relations between different successional stages of plant communities and abiotic factors were descried. To test these, we went to the fields, and worked on two transect in groups of 4. We counted the trees and measured the diameter at breast height (dbh) for tree with a dbh value greater than 2cm. The dbh measurements (cm), percentage of fern cover and percentage of bare ground were recorded and used to perform statistical analysis. No significant variations in the distribution of abundant tree species using chi2 analysis and percentage of fern cover using t-test analysis were observed between the compared sites. No significant variations found in the interquadrat analysis, and mean dbh of abundant tree species and percentage of bare ground between the sites compared. The results verified the stated hypothesis and were supported by literature sources.…

    Duckweed Hypothesis

    We will need enough water from the marsh to fill all four tanks needed in the Elodea experiment as well as the beakers/tupperware containers in the Daphnia portion of the experiment. This is also true for the duckweed needed from Nahant Marsh: we will need to collect enough for both tests to our hypothesis which will be enough to treat two tanks with Elodea and half of the containers for Daphnia. Once all of these materials are collected we will create our tanks to observe the Elodea. All of the tanks will have 10 Elodea plants (for the sake of replication) in 1 inch of tank rocks and filled with the water from Nahant Marsh. The independent variable in this test will be whether or not the water in each tank will be treated by duckweed and whether or not the tank will have extra nutrients (1 inch of topsoil) added. The setup of the tanks is shown in Table 1 below. Each tank will be observed for 4 weeks. Then to replicate and observe more data we will go through the process again after cleaning the tanks and disposing of the materials from the previous data…

    Hawkweed Research Paper

    Alaska continually amazes with its breathtaking scenery, diverse wildlife, and remarkable people. Alaskans have a wonderful knack for wanting to cherish and preserve the land they call home. Unfortunately, as invasive species have slowly started edging their way into our rivers, fields, and forests, many citizens are lacking the knowledge on how to properly combat this incursion and protect the state they reside in. Hieracium aurantiacum, also known as hawkweed, is one of the most difficult species to remove, and many gardeners often grow frustrated since they are unable to effectively eradicate the plant. Due to the laxed efforts of many citizens hawkweed has been able to tighten its grasp on local environments.…

    Rubber Duck Experiment

    When I found out that there was a paper due on having to take a bubble bath with a rubber duck, I was thinking, “why? How very odd but okay, I guess I’ll do it.” Then I found out that we had to bring the rubber duck to school and I was like, “really? Uhm... Okay then. I’ll have to pass by wal-mart on my way home then.” So, I eventually got around to doing the bubble bath. I put way my cell phone, my laptop & told everyone not to bother me unless they were dying of some kind of disease. I turned the hot water on, poured some lavender scented bubbles, threw my rubber ducky in and I had myself a little party.…
