Lab 1: Heart Rate Lab (Revised Fall 2010) Lab 1. Heart Rate‚ Physical Fitness‚ and the Scientific Method Prelab Assignment Before coming to lab read carefully the following pages on the scientific method and then answer the prelab questions at the end of this lab handout. Be prepared to discuss and/or hand in your responses to the prelab questions at the start of lab. Introduction Biology is a dynamic field of study whose aim is to unravel the mysteries of life itself. Throughout history‚ humans

In this TLC lab‚ we explored the relative polarities of Acetylsalicylic Acid‚ Ibuprofen‚ Acetaminophen‚ and Caffeine based on their functional groups. The most overall polar analgesic is considered to be the analgesic that contained the most polar function groups. The amine and amide functional groups are the most polar. In this experiment‚ we found that both these functional groups are found in Caffeine. As a result‚ Caffeine was the most polar out of Acetylsalicylic Acid‚ Ibuprofen‚ Acetaminophen

Mirror Lab One air inhalation hazard I observed during the Mirror Lab tour was for rhodite 906. In a large open room and workspace‚ the mirror lab utilized rhodite frequently to polish large new mirrors. This is concerning because this is a hazardous dust particle with its particle size at about 1.5 micrometers. The movement of these particles are heighted by water mist placed above the mirror to keep the rhodite from solidifying. The employees also sprayed down the mirror frequently which further

This lab report will be detailing the steps taken and the results discovered when using spectrophotometry to determine the percentage of copper in a copper-clad penny and the thicknes of the copper layer on the copper-clad penny. After 1982‚ copper coating has been used in the creation of the penny because the cost of pure copper has increase to the point that the amount needed t omake a penny cost far more than the actual value of the penny. This lab allowed us to see just how much copper coating

February 20th‚ 2014 Lab report 4 Abstract This pBlu lab had for purpose to present the changes of the strain of E. coli bacteria due to new genetic information being introduced into the cell. In this experiment we are freezing and heat shocking the E. Coli bacteria that is then forced to take the plasmid DNA. The E. coli then transforms the pBLu plasmid‚ which carries the genes coding for two identifiable phenotypes. After following the Carolina Biological steps our lab worked well and we able

Student Guide Laboratory: Drop and Bounce Different matter responds differently to force. In this lab‚ you will explore the relationship between matter and energy by dropping objects made of different materials from different heights to see how high they bounce. You will be dropping these objects in a virtual lab setting where objects behave the same as they would in the real world. Goals for the Lesson Solve a problem using the scientific method. Use the metric system in a scientific experiment

Thermodynamics- Enthalpy of Reaction and Hess’s Law Objectives: 1. To calculate the heat of reaction of a given reaction using the concepts derived from Hess’s Law. Pre-lab Questions: 1. Define Heat of Reaction. The enthalpy change associated with the completion of a chemical reaction. 2. Define Specific Heat. The energy it takes to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by one degree Celsius. 3. Calculate the heat of reaction assuming no heat is lost to the calorimeter. Use correct

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

Enzyme Lab Marcus James. December 20‚ 2013 HL Biology 3 Period 1 Purpose and Background The purpose of this lab is to explain how enzymes act as catalysts for biological reactions in different temperatures. This lab relates to enzymes‚ proteins‚ and substrates; that we learned in class. The union of the enzyme and the substrate is called the enzyme-substrate complex. The make-up of an enzyme is proteins and made up of chains and amino acids. Enzymes

Williams‚ Brandon Physics‚ Period 1 23 May‚ 2014 Resonance Lab Purpose: To determine the speed of sound using the resonance method‚ temperature method and percent error. Hypothesis: If the temperature of the room’s 20 degrees C‚ then using the temperature method‚ the speed of sound is 344m/s. Vs – Vo + 0.6m/s T / C = 332 m/s + .6 m/s (20 C) / C = 344 m/s Conclusion: Using the resonance method the speed was 330 m/s. using the average temperature
