Design Rationale It is known that the acceleration due to gravity (or g) is approximately 9.8m/s2 [down] or -9.8m/s2 [up]. What we are trying to do is design an experiment to measure and confirm this value. Our plan was to drop an object from a reasonable height and use a ticker tape timer to measure the amount of time and distance travelled between each time. The weight of the object used would have to be heavy enough that it would not be affected by air resistance. For example‚ you shouldn’t use

Lab Design Research question: How does temperature affect on the rate of photosynthesis? Variables: Independent variables: temperature of water where the elodea(plant) is going to be placed Dependent variable: the amount of oxygen produced by photosynthesis reaction Control variables: Light concentration entering the beaker Length of the plant Volume of the water to be precise And of the NaHCO3 What is the variable to be controlled. Why does it need to be controlled. How will you

Lab design –Voltaic Cells Aim Of Experiment In this experiment‚ we are going to make a battery by making an electron current between the metals Zinc and Copper. We aim two study the voltaic cells and the transfer of electrons from the metal to the ion. The tendency for the electrons to flow from one chemical to another‚ such as from the zinc metal to the copper ion as shown here‚ is something that can be channeled and controlled. Channeling the flow of electrons is what we will take up in this

Lab 5 – Weather and Climate Change Lab 5 - Demonstration 1: Modeling the Water Cycle POST LAB QUESTIONS 1. Which water cycle processes are represented in this model and by what components? Answer = Condensation and evaporation are represented in the model. Condensation formed inside the jar and under the lid and the warm water evaporated. 2. Which processes are not represented? How could the model be altered to include these processes? Answer = Precipitation and infiltration did not get represented

Nitrate on Pond Water By Claudia Phillips September 6‚ 2014 Block Two INTRODUCTION This lab was designed to study and observe the effects of phosphate and nitrate applied to pond water (1). Phosphorous‚ commonly used in fertilizers‚ is a necessary and vital element for life but can enhance the effects of eutrophication (the over-enrichment of nutrients in water) (2). Nitrate is a common source of food for most algae‚ but too much can make living conditions in water harsh (3). They are

Water quality and contamination Tijuana R Harvey SCI207 Dependence of Man on the Environment Instructor: Kathryn Garland Nov.3‚ 2014 Water Quality and Contaminants Water being one of our most precious resources we have to question the quality of our water quality and things that maybe contaminating it. Water affects not only humans it affects other living things such as animals‚ plants‚ and aquatic life and hydroelectric machinery. Some would believe that it should be a human right to have clean

Water Quality and Contamination Melody McBride SCI-207 Dependence of man on the environment Robin Glenn September 28‚ 2014 Abstract The lab was conducted at the McBride residence. For this experiment vegetable oil‚ vinegar and liquid detergent was use to contaminate the water. Testing of how ground water is affected by different contaminants was the bases of the experiment. The results were interesting in that when vinegar is filtered through dirt it came out fairly clean‚ it also

LAB # 5 Relationship Between Drop Height and Diameter of Plasticine Sphere PROBLEM: A student suggest that there is a proportional relationship between height at which a plasticine sphere is dropped and the diameter of the flattened part after dropping. Design an experiment to determine if this suggestion is true or not. AIM: To investigate the relationship between the drop height and the flattened part of a plasticine sphere after being dropped. HYPOTHESIS: As the height of the sphere plasticine

The intention of the “Foul Water” lab was to purify a sample of sewage water and conserve as much as possible. The water should be clean enough to wash your hands with. My hypothesis is that the water will be cleaner than the initial water sample‚ but not to the standard that I would wash my hands with. Significant terms to know include purification‚ filtration‚ adsorption‚ volume‚ clarity‚ dissolved‚ filtrate‚ impurities‚ pipette‚ clay triangle‚ funnel cone‚ iron ring‚ beaker‚ and Erlenmeyer flask

Interview with Alka (Mom) Alka found it rather easy to narrow down her musical choices to three. "I don’t listen to much variety in music. I only listen to about four artists. “She stated. Alka said she would listen to more music if she had more free time. A male singer who she loves listening to is Jagjit Singh. His voice is very sweet‚ and melodic. Alka’s favorite female singer is Lata Mangeshkar. She describes Lata Mangeshkar’s voice as being heavenly‚ and really relaxing. When it comes to groups
