Knowing that calcium helps keep humans healthy and have stronger bones‚ I wanted to experiment how calcium might aid in the growth of lima beans. Background Information: In plant growth‚ calcium effects the metabolic process of other nutrient uptake that is vital for growth of the plant. Calcium also strengthens the cell wall structure (It is an essential part of the cell wall);

in the Mentos and Diet Coke. The structure of the Mentos allow carbon dioxide bubbles to form extremely rapidly. When this happens‚ you get the physical reaction of the coke exploding out of the bottle. Other carbonated drinks also work with this experiment. (Hiskey) One thing that contribute to this explosion is the structure of the Mentos. Mentos are fairly dense and sink rapidly‚ quickly creating bubbles that seed further

Crater Design Experiment Aim: To see how the height in which the ball is dropped from affects the depth of the crater. Hypothesis: I predict that as the height in which the ball is dropped from increases‚ so does the depth of the crater (the data will be directly proportional). The scientific knowledge which supports this is that the golf ball has a gravitational potential energy which increases as the ball is dropped from higher heights. When the height increases the ball gains more gravitational

In our society‚ there are many social norms we are expected to abide by. These unwritten rules and standards of behavior often go unnoticed‚ leaving society to take them for granted. We only become truly aware of the norms of society when they are actually violated. When a violation occurs‚ those who continue to conform may respond with positive or negative sanctions‚ such as humor‚ alarm‚ irritation‚ fear‚ or a wide variety of emotions. Our society also relies on language as its major bases for

Bending Moment EXPERIMENT 2B: SHEAR FORCE AND BENDING MOMENT 1. ABSTRACT Performance-based design approach‚ demands a thorough understanding of axial forces. Bending characterizes the behavior of a slender structural element subjected to an external load applied perpendicularly to a longitudinal axis of the element. By this experiment we can verify the limit load for the beam of rectangular cross-section under pure bending. Moments at the specific points are calculated by the method of statics

EXPERIMENT 5 TRANSVERSE STANDING WAVES A string attached to a turning fork is set vibrating at the same frequency as the tuning fork. The length and tension in the string are adjusted until standing waves are observed on the string. By knowing the tension in the string and the wavelength of the standing waves‚ the frequency of oscillation of the string and thus‚ the tuning fork is found. This value is then compared to a strobelight determination of the frequency. THEORY

gradient with the help of energy input and specific transport proteins (Campbell and Reece‚ 2002). For the analysis of cell membrane permeability and the mechanism of controlling water‚ human red blood cell is a convenient specimen through hemolysis experiments ^^^^^. The human RBC osmotic content is about 0.9% NaCl. In hypotonic solutions‚ the cells swell because of water influx and eventually they hemolyze where cell contents including hemoglobin are released into the medium. This can be indicated by

the electrons as a back donation to the pi orbital in DMSO. In the first experiment‚ I had to synthesized CuCl2~2DMSO to determine which DMSO atom; Sulfur or Oxygen‚ combined to Copper (II) Chloride. I was able to determine it base on finding the melting point and observing the Infrared Spectroscopy. Since copper is a hard metal‚ it will most likely bond to an oxygen atom because they are both hard. In the second experiment‚ I also synthesized RuCl2~4DMSO to determine which DMSO atom; Sulfur or Oxygen
