Anna Marie Marie 1 Mrs. Hartzog Advanced Placement English III 7 April 2014 How to Find Vital Signs: Pulse‚ Temperature‚ and Blood Pressure Typically vital signs are taken during the admission into a hospital or emergency care center‚ or even during a checkup. These are important in determining the wellbeing of a patient because they display in numbers how one is feeling or reacting to certain medications and treatments. There are “norms” or normal numbers and when a patient

Abstract: This lab tests how temperature and pH affect how enzymes will function. The lab showed that temperature will denature an enzyme when past its optimal working temperature and won’t denature in cold temperatures‚ but have slowed molecular activity. pH will also have an affect on an enzymes efficiency‚ when out of optimal pH the enzyme will not function as it is supposed to and if to far out of the optimal pH the enzyme will change shape and no longer work. Enzymes also showed to be reusable

2 Angles make a difference Aim The aim of this experiment is to test whether the angle of sunlight affects the surface temperature on earth. Hypothesis I believe Block B will receive more sunlight than Block A‚ because the lamp shines directly onto Block B. Materials * * Lamp * 2 thermometers * 2 blocks of wood * Black plastic tape Procedure 1. Cut out two small identically sized pieces of black tape and attach onto wooden blocks so that they make pockets. 2.

Investigation – Storage conditions of Bleach & it’s relation with temperature. Title/Research Question: ‘How does temperature effect the concentration of chlorate ions in bleach?’ Aim: The aim of this experiment was to investigate the optimum temperature storage conditions of bleach’s stored at different temperatures. Introduction: Chlorine bleaches are made by dissolving chlorine in sodium hydroxide solution. They have a number of uses as they are used to remove colors‚ whiten or disinfectant

My final device was simple‚ yet effective. It consisted of a straw pyramid in a bag of popcorn. Two of the main restrictions for this project were mass and size. The bag that i put my materials in was within the size limit. The mass of popcorn and straws is very little. Popcorn can also absorb a lot of shock‚ stress‚ and kinetic energy. Straws absorb energy as well. So I decided to use those two materials. First‚ I put the egg directly into a pyramid of straws. Putting the egg in the pyramid instead

1.The average temperature contrast between winter and summer is greater for continental polar air than for maritime tropical air. Explain why. Maritime tropical air is very warm and humid because its source regions are tropical and subtropical seas. This air mass retains these properties year-round and is responsible for oppressive summer heat and humidity east of the Rocky Mountains. Dry continental polar air develops over the northern interior of North America. In winter‚ continental polar air

As the climate changes‚ coral bleaching is predicted to become more frequent and severe. Sea temperature increases and coral stress from other impacts may increase corals’ vulnerability to bleaching. As part of its Reef Health Incident Response System‚ the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority has a Coral Bleaching Response Plan for detecting and responding to coral bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef. What is coral bleaching Many types of coral have a special symbiotic relationship with a

How does the temperature of 75mls of water affect how quickly one teaspoon of sugar dissolves? Aims and Objectives The aim of this scientific enquiry is to determine if and how the temperature of 75mls of water affects the speed in which sugar can dissolve in. The objective is to use three different independent variable temperatures of water. Then record three dependent variables of time in which the sugar dissolves in the different temperatures of water being used. One being cold‚ which in this
