BIOMAGNIFICATION LAB REPORT AIM The aim of this lab is to model bioaccumulation and biomagnification through a food chain. MATERIALS 100 M&M’s Paper towel to lay M&M’s on 20 small cups labelled “zooplankton” 5 medium cups labelled “minnow” 2 larger cups - one labelled “eel #1”‚ and another labelled “eel #2” 1 bowl labelled “osprey” PROCEDURE The pile of M&M’s represents the phytoplankton population in a lake. The printed “M” on the candy represents the amount of DDT (in ppm)

Modeling Effective Dose: Salt Tasting lab Purpose The purpose of this lab is to see at what measurements (of salt) can the salt be detected by taste. Abstract The science of toxicology is based on the principle that there is a relationship between a toxic reaction (the response) and the amount of poison received (the dose). An important assumption in this relationship is that there is almost always a dose below which no response occurs or can be measured. A second assumption is that once a maximum

n this lab experiment factors that affected solubility are temperature‚ liquids‚ concentration‚ pressure‚ polarity‚ and molecule. In this experiment we use temperature‚ centrifuge‚ and concentration solutions to be able to achieve the results that we wanted. Step one of the experiment was to mix HCl‚ to cause a precipitation form‚ after that we had to decant the solution‚ then we used a centrifuged to separate the the precipitate of the supernatant liquid. After the decant was done‚ then the process

Abstract: The previous lab explored the effect of gravity on free fall. It was determined that acceleration is always constant under free fall. However‚ in this lab‚ acceleration was observed under different forces‚ other than just gravity. Therefore‚ depending on how strong the forces being exerted were‚ acceleration differed. It wasn’t constant anymore. Using a glider on a air track and a pulley‚ different masses were attached at the end of the string and the glider was allowed to move on the

Period 12 Chemical Aspects of Life & Spit Lab ABSTRACT: The objective for the Spit lab was to test two different types of crackers for the presence or absence of starch and of reducing sugars. Also‚ to test the chewed cracker‚ the one that didn’t have a reducing sugar‚ for the presence or absence of a reducing sugar with the saliva in it. Adding on‚ another part of the objective is to determine the effect of amylase on starch. For the Chemical Aspects lab‚ the objectives were to test for the presence

points are properties that can easily be determined and help in identifying a substance. These properties can be found in chemical literature ad reference tables‚ and can be used to distinguish a pure substance from many other pure substances. In this lab you will use the pure substance Paradichlorobenzene and determine its melting an freezing points by warming and cooling a sample of the substance‚ then plotting heating and cooling curves and analyzing them. Data that you collect will represent the

substances there are various methods of distillation that can be used. In this lab‚ simple and fractional distillation was used. The simple distiller is composed of a 100ml round bottom flask that is attached to: a 3-way adapter‚ thermometer‚ condenser and vacuum adapter. The apparatus is heated up by placing a powermeter at the bottom of the 100ml round flask. When the temperature becomes high enough to effect the boiling point of one of the compounds in the solution‚ vapor is created. The
