Common Laboratory Operations
List of the entire famous scientist
Alessandro Volta(1745-1827)
An Italian Physicist who was a pioneer in the development of electricity. He created the first electric battery in 1800. This battery gave the world its first continuous, reliable source of electric current, and led to all important discoveries of the use of electricity. The unit of measuring electromotive force (emf), Volt(v) is named after him. He also proposed the law that the air expands at a constant rate with increasing temperature.
Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
German mathematical physicist. Famous for the theory of relativity. Motion is relative and there fore, can be measured only in relation with something else. According to him, the only unchanging quantity is the speed of light. His work led on to the making of nuclear bomb. He established the relationship between mass and energy with the famous equation E=mc2 . He received the Nobel prize in 1921.
Archimedes(287 BC-212 BC)
The ancient Greek mathematician who arrived at many important results in geometry, mechanics and hydrostatics. He defined the value of pi and obtained formula for curved surface areas and volumes of various solids. He is most famous for the principle of displacement named after him.
George Boolie(1815-1864)
The self taught English mathematician who produced important works in many areas such as calculus and the theory of probability. He produced the methods of producing statements using a simple set of symbols. an interpretation of Boolean Algebra is the basis of digital processes in modern computers.
Blaise Pascal(1623-1662)
A brilliant mathematician, physicist, religious thinker, and the founder of the modern theory of probability. He made mercury barometer and measured atmospheric pressure. The invention of mercury barometer paved the way for further studies in hydrostatics and hydrodynamics. He also invented the mechanical calculator, the syringe and created hydraulic press
Rene Descartes(1596-1650)
A French

    The purpose of the Density Lab was to determine the identity of four unknown solids and two unknown liquids by calculating their densities and comparing them to a density chart, taking into account error analysis and finally classifying the substances. In order to calculate this density, we first found the mass of the container that was to be holding the substances. We then found the volume of the substance, and lastly determined the mass of the container and substance. We subtracted (Container + Substance) – Container to find the mass of simply the substance. In order to distinguish density, we took the final mass divided by the volume, and identified the substances based on Density Charts we found online. Originally we hypothesized that we would be able to identify these substances based on the densities we calculated, yet this proved to be harder than it seemed, however our hypothesis was correct. We now could concluded the densities and identification. The density of Unknown Liquid 1 was 1.26 which was found to be Colorless Glycerin (also density of 1.26) and Unknown Liquid 2 was 0.88 or Rubbing Alcohol (colorless). Unknown Solid 1 has a density of 7.20 or Iron, Solid 2 is 2.59 and Aluminum, Solid 3 is 5.47 and Tin, while Solid 4 has a density of 9.81and Nickel? We…

    Archimedes is universally acknowledged to be the greatest of ancient mathematicians. He studied at Euclid's school (probably after Euclid's death), but his work far surpassed the works of Euclid. His achievements are particularly impressive given the lack of good mathematical notation in his day. His proofs are noted not only for brilliance but for unequalled clarity, with a modern biographer (Heath) describing Archimedes' treatises as "without exception monuments of mathematical exposition. Archimedes made advances in number theory, algebra, and analysis, but is most renowned for his many theorems of plane and solid geometry. He was first to prove Heron's formula for the area of a triangle.…

    During this time period there were many different scientist that had other discoveries and inventions. A very famous scientist at the time was Louis Pasteur, who discovered fermentation and the need to vaccinate for viruses and also invented pasteurization. Thomas Newcomen was another inventor during this time; he invented the first practical steam engine allowing people to abandon horses and walking to have steamships cars and trains. Benjamin Franklin was also born in this era. Benjamin Franklin discovered the existence of electricity and also came up with the terms positive and negative. Another very famous scientist and mathematician during the 18th century was Isaac Newton. He created the 3 laws of motion and was also considered…

    The Talents of Archimedes

    Archimedes was known for several things, a few were Infinitesimals, Hydraulics’s, levers and two things that were named after him they were Archimedes ' Principle and Archimedes ' Screw. He was born in c. 287 BC in Syracuse Sicily, he died in c. 212 BC said to be around the age of 75. In his lifetime he had many great works in mathematics, physics, engineering, inventing and he was also and astronomer. He was considered to be one of the greatest mathematicians of all time. He came up with a way to calculate the area under the arch of a parabola. He used the exhaustion method to calculate this and to give a remarkably accurate approximation of pi. He also came up with a system for expressing very large numbers. One of the things he was most famous for was being able to use infinitesimals in a way similar to modern integral calculus. In a piece of work called On the Sphere and Cylinder, he states “that any magnitude when added to itself enough times will exceed any given magnitude.” This was called Archimedean property of real numbers. In another of his works called The Sand Reckoner, he sets out to prove he can calculate the number of grains of sand in the entire universe. He was quoted to say “There are some, King Gelo who think that the number of the sand is infinite in multitude : and I mean by the sand not only that which exists about Syracuse and the rest of Sicily but also that which is found in every region whether inhabited or uninhabited.” In order to prove this statement he devised a system of counting based on the myriad, which came from the Greek murias for the number 10,000. He concluded that in order to calculate the number of grains of sand it required to fill the universe would be 8 vigintillion or 8 x 10 to the 63rd power.…

    He created his own school and taught kids his ideas on the world. He was the very first to actually study plants and animals in a scientific way and was a champion observer. He was also the first person to have the theory that Earth was the center of the universe but although that was wrong everyone respected him so much that they believed it for a very long time until somebody used modern day technology to prove that wrong and say that the sun was the center of the universe. He was also the person who said the movements of planets was circular so then they could go on forever but that is also wrong because they move in more of an oval shaped movement. That is a very big legacy to leave behind and he will be remembered for a very long time.…
