Free Fall Rachel Shea Physics 131 Lab‚ QL Hasbrouck 210 Sept. 21‚ 2014 Abstract This experiment measures the study of motion by observing the force of gravity acting solely upon an object‚ and also measures reaction time. If an object is in free fall‚ the only force acting upon it is gravity. The object used in this experiment was a golf ball that provided some acceleration when dropped. A sensor positioned underneath a table recorded the golf ball’s pattern of motion‚ when dropped. The main

Termite Lab Report The effect of ink on termite behavior Abstract Termites produce special chemicals within their bodies called pheromones. Because termites are usually found inside dark areas‚ pheromones help them communicate in these places. Past studies have suggested that ink inside ballpoint pens contains pheromones‚ causing termites to follow any trail created by the ink. If a pathway is drawn with an ink pen‚ then a termite will be attracted to the path and trace it due to the pheromones

Formal Lab Report | Chemistry | | Student name: Sara Hattar Grade: 10 ”C” | | Teacher: Christine Ziadat | | | Title: Investigating the effects of changing the concentration of an acid on the rate of reaction between HCl and Magnesium. Aim: In this experiment we are going to see the effects of using three different concentrations of HCl when added to Magnesium metal on the rate of reaction. Hypothesis: If the concentration of the acid increased in reaction between HCl (the acid)

Introduction In the amylase lab‚ it was being tested if amylase‚ an enzyme found in saliva‚ would be denatured by being put in an acid or high temperatures. This lab is about denaturing amylase. It is tested by exposing it to pH and temperature changes. It is then mixed with Benedict’s solution‚ is a solution that changes color from blue to reddish brown when maltose is present. Amylase breaks starch into maltose‚ so is the amylase isn’t denatured‚ it should change colors. Amylase is an enzyme

Madeline Totten Dr. Su Phy 110 Lab 18 September 2013 Lab 2: Introduction to DataStudio Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to practice designing an experiment by choosing the variables‚ using DataStudio to collect the data from the experiment‚ and then taking our data and presenting it and our results in a report. Method: For this experiment‚ the goal was to use a simple pendulum (shown to the left) to measure the period of the motion. For task 1‚ we just became familiar with DataStudio

Michele Baden Bio 100 – 05 ALLELOPATHY INTRODUCTION The purpose of this lab was to observe the effects of chemical warfare among plants. Plant seeds compete with other plants and seeds‚ for sunlight‚ and nutrients in order to germinate. In order to win dominance over other seeds‚ and reduce competition‚ plants produce and release a chemical in order to prevent other seeds from germination. This type of chemical warfare is referred to as allelopathy. Allelopathy exists in many parts of the plants

Mr. Mihordea Motion of Atoms and Molecules lab summary In this lab the standard heat of combustion of magnesium was calculated by using the calorimeter. Also‚ the point of combustion of magnesium was to see how much heat would be released from fireworks such as sparklers. The concept of this lab was to find the difference in temperature from the beginning to end of combustion of magnesium and calculate the standard heat

Collecting Photosynthetic Rates in Spinach (Spinacia oleracea) Introduction: The purpose of this study was to see which light color would cause the spinach sample to photosynthesize the most within the given time. In order to understand photosynthesis‚ we need to know that chloroplasts absorb light energy from the sun‚ the plant then takes that energy along with water and carbon dioxide and changes it to sugar and oxygen. This happens in order for the plants to grow. But‚ light energy comes in a

Diffusion and osmosis go hand-in-hand. Osmosis is generally the same as diffusion‚ however‚ deals solely with water. Osmotic pressure is the pressure of a solution against a semi-permeable membrane to prevent water from flowing into the membrane. In this lab‚ we are going to study tonicity; tonicity is the measure of this osmotic pressure and is the differential of pressure between two solutions separated by a selective membrane. To help identify the relative concentrations of solute particles of different
