Rocks During Mechanical Weathering
We had to shake sugar cubes in a jar for 3 minutes, because we are talking about Mechanical Weathering. The purpose of this lab was to see what happens to rocks during Mechanical Weathering. The sugarcubes represented the rocks during Mechanical Weathering. We used sugarcubes because the Sugarcubes were the only thing close to rocks that will break up. In the first test ,we thought that the sugar cubes would break up. In the Second test we thought the Sugar cubes would break up more than the first time. By the 3rd time we knew that the Sugar cubes would break up completely. What happened the first time was the cubes broke up. The 2nd time the cubes Broke up more. The 3rd time the cubes broke up, but not completely. Our data does not make a

    Brine Shrimp Experiment Report

    For jar 2 15% of the brine shrimp eggs were still alive. For jar 3 8% of the brine shrimp eggs were still alive, and for jar 4 15% of the brine shrimp eggs were still alive. All 4 jars had the same observations, which were that they still didn’t swim gracefully, there is still unhatched eggs at the top and bottom, and they look smaller. On the 4th day of the experiment, 12-31-15, in jar 1 0% of the brine shrimp eggs were still alive. In jar 2 2% of the brine shrimp eggs were still hatched. In jar 3 there was also 2% of the brine shrimp still hatched, and for jar 4 there was 3% of the brine shrimp still hatched. The observations I noticed were the jars with eggs still in it, I noticed the hatched brine shrimp still didn’t swim gracefully and there was still unhatched eggs at the top and bottom. On the 5th day, 1-1-16, all 4 of the jars were at 0% for the amount of brine shrimp still alive. The observations I noticed for all the jars were that the water was dirty, with stuff floating in…

    Unknown Mixture Lab Hypothesis

    For this experiment my hypothesis was correct. The purpose of this experiment was achieved by observing and finding out the characteristics of each substance. The sugar turned brown and smelled good when heated, salt turned black and smelled like burnt rubber when heated, dirt turned to mud when water was added, and baking soda started to bubble when vinegar was added. According to table 1 the data shows that the unknown substance had similar characteristics to both sugar and dirt. And so to find out if my hypothesis was correct or not experiments were carried out based on tests that were characteristics of either sugar or dirt. One experiment was heating the unknown substance to check if it would start drying up and bubbling brown. The other was adding water to test if it would turn into mud. Some mistakes that could be improved in the experiment next time is- making sure not to pour a lot of salt into the beaker when heating it, since there was a lot of salt when heating it the smell was more nastier and shocking. Also when heating the dirt not to let it burn for a long time because when washing it, it was hard to get some of the dirt…

    Sci/230 Scientific Method

    In completing the Tomato Plant experiment I had to apply the scientific method. I observed that my tomato plants were producing less fruit each year. I then questioned some of the elements that may have affected the tomato plants and caused them to bear fewer tomatoes being a deficiency in warmth, water, or nutrients. I then selected my hypotheses that the plants were in need of more nutrients. Following my hypothesis I developed my prediction which was that my plants would bear more tomatoes if I was to replace the old soil with new soil before planting. I then concluded, based off of the graph depicting the number of tomatoes per plant, that my hypothesis was supported because; my predication was accurate and the plants grew more tomatoes after I had replaced the soil.…

    Beginning with Science Study Sheet

    Christopher and Kate noticed that after a rainstorm some of the rocks in their yard appear to shrink. They wondered how the mass of the rocks changed when dissolved in water. To determine this, Kate purchased a variety of rocks from a local shop, carefully recording the types of rocks in a data chart. Christopher gathered rocks from the backyard to add to the rocks Kate purchased. They measured each rock's initial mass; then they inserted the rocks one by one into 100 milliliters of water and measured the mass of each rock after it had sat in the water for five minutes. Both Christopher and Kate concluded that store-bought rocks do not dissolve in water. They also concluded that to get rocks that dissolve in water they must be gathered directly from the yard.…

    Rock Candy

    My hypothesis is that if I add different amounts of sugar to the same amount of boiling water and allow it to be cooled, than the one with the additional cup of sugar will be the one that grows more crystals. I determined that my hypothesis was correct. The glass I chose to add the pure cane sugar did grow much more crystals at a more rapid pace. The purpose of my experiment is to grow a large amount of crystals on a wooden skewer. Rock candy is a candy made with sugar that I chose to attempt to grow on a wooden skewer. This delicious candy is actually crystallized sugar that I grew from a sugar-water solution. In this science fair project I have learn how to grow my own rock candy and determine if you use different types of sugar, it will change the growth rate of your sugar crystals. When I added the extra cup of sugar to observation 2, it grew approximately 8 cm more than observation 1 over a period of 5 days.…

    The Rock Cycle Dbq

    The rock cycle is something that a lot of people know. There are a lot of different versions. Some are more complicated than others(OI). The rock cycle can take thousands of years to complete(OI)! Every rock can turn into another rock from every stage(Doc.1). Geology is not just studying boring rocks. There is a lot more to it. You can study rocks to find out how old the rock is or even how old the earth is. You could be the person to find out how long ago a dinosaur by what rock the bones were in. Or maybe you find a fossil of a new type of animal and the rocks can tell you when it lived. Rocks can be a whole lot more exciting than you ever thought.…

    Siwash Rock Analysis

    These two First Nations legends are similar in various ways. The Two Sisters and Siwash Rock are both superstitions that have transcended time. These stories have been narrated by the Natives which they in turn have received from their ancestors. They are legends that have been passed down from each generation to their descendants. The authenticity of these stories is unknown as they date back thousands of years ago. All we have to show are the stone monuments that can be seen today. In the Two Sisters, the “Lions of Vancouver” have stood in the high mountain tops for thousands of years and will stand for thousands of years to come. These stolid and unwavering twin rocks have looked over the grounds of the Indians. In the Siwash Rock, The legend…

    Factors Affecting the Movement of Water Through Osmosis

I predict that the more sugar concentration there is, the rate of osmosis will increase and therefore will have an effect on the results of the experiment.…

    After I drew my hypothesis, I had to get testing my hypothesis. If then mold was thriving in the summer, then I had to put some in a cool environment. I scraped some mold that was growing on the wall, and put it into two dishes one for cool and one for warm. I put the come labeled cool in the refrigerator. And I kept the mold in the basement. After three days, I checked the mold in the chilly environment. I noticed a the mold has stopped growing. But, the mold in the basement did not stop. However, to prove my hypothesis, I redid the process of testing over again. After another three days in the refrigerator I declared my hypothesis correct.…
