In the Shells lab‚ we were to test the effect of pH on shell strength. The independent variable in this experiment is the type of liquid that we put the shell in and the independent variable is the shells’ strength. The first thing we did was get our materials and label the two shells. The shell that was going into the vinegar was labeled “E” (which stands for experimental) and the shell that was going to be put in the salt water was labeled “C” (which stands for control since it is the control of

Heterotrophs are any organism that consumes organic carbon and energy that is fixed by primary producers. This unit discussed an extremely important pyramid‚ somewhat like a food chain that categorizes heterotrophs. 1st level of the pyramid are herbivores‚ 2nd level are carnivores. Eukaryotes are single celled or multi-celled‚ recapped in this unit‚ the primary consumers are the herbivores‚ the secondary consumers are the herbivore consumers‚ and the tertiary consumers are the top predators.

reading Imagined Communities‚ it’s hard not to become reflective of John Lennon’s words in his famed hit "Imagine"‚ which calls for our imagination to do away with barriers that have created such a divide in humanity. It’s interesting to note that in Benedict Anderson’s analysis of the formation of nations; he accredits this process to our imagination of communities that include our peripheral acknowledgement of our fellow countrymen‚ and is made distinct by excluding the rest of the world from "our"

between relativism and universalism ideologies has been going on for several years now. There have been many highly respected people agreeing and disagreeing on which belief is right and wrong. The two well known are American Anthropologist Ruth Benedict and Dr. Louis Pojman. Upon reading their work‚ I found both of them to have very excellent points. I found myself hard to just pick one ideology. After reading both of their ideas and contemplating I came to the conclusion that I agree and disagree

According to Benedict Anderson‚ nations are “imagined communities”. First‚ we must understand what a nation actually is. Anderson defines a nation as “an imagined political community that is imagined as both inherently limited and sovereign”. It is imagined because members of a particular community will never meet or know other members in the same community. However‚ each member of that community understands and believes in their community’s unique image or communion. A nation is limited because

patterns of culture is compared with primitive mind by Franz Boas. Both benedict and Boas are historical particularists. They perceive culture having an influence on behaviour of individuals although they hold different views on their theories. To conclude I will sum up all the important facts that the authors are trying to communicate. And also what I have done in the essay. Patterns of Culture is an ethnography by Ruth Benedict published in 1934. In this book she writes about of three cultures

9/17/2013‚ Lois Andersen & Claire Ma “The Power of Osmosis” The purpose of the lab was to discover‚ through osmosis‚ the concentration of sugar water in a potato. First‚ potatoes were cut into strips about 3 centimetres in length and six strips were individually massed. Next‚ the six strips were placed in 6 different Dixie cups‚ labelled A‚ B‚ Q‚ X‚ Y‚ and Z. Each of the Dixie cups were then filled just enough to cover the potato strips‚ with substances that matched the letters of the cups

When Different Colors of Food Coloring Are Soaked into a Naked Egg‚ Will the Mass Change Depending on the Color of the Ink after 7 Days? The Purpose The purpose of initiating this lab was to test how different chemicals in the outer fluid affects the osmotic properties of a naked egg. Background Information In order to complete this experiment‚ one of the most important things you need to know how to do is how to take the outer “shell” layer off of the egg. The egg shells contain an element known

Marble-lous Momentum Question: What happens to momentum when one marble collides with other marbles? Hypothesis: If a marble collides with increasingly more marbles‚ then the momentum will be transferred more slowly to the final marble‚ because momentum is conserved through an inelastic collision‚ but a longer distance will have be traveled by the kinetic energy. Independent Variable: The number of marbles. Dependent Variable: The momentum of the first marble and final marble. Control Variables:

My results to my findings to my brine shrimp experiment was started on 12-28-15‚ using 4 jars. Each jar contained water‚ salt‚ and brine shrimp eggs. I started by filling each jar with tap water and then adding salt. I added 1 TSP of salt and each jar added ½ TSP more of salt. In my experiment I noticed on the first day‚ 12-28-15‚ in all the jars the brine shrimp eggs were added to the 4 jars. Some observations I noticed were the eggs didn’t sink right away‚ they stayed on the surface for awhile
