Introduction And what is known about the sustainability of current groundwater‚ it is that it will not last. Ponce (2006) states” The unsustainable use of groundwater stands to significantly impact a host of hydrological‚ ecological and other natural resources and services‚ including freshwater bodies‚ and aquatic‚ riparian‚ transitional‚ and ecosystems.” All life on planet earth depends on clean freshwater to survive and It is very important that this natural resource is taken care of properly

Experiment 8 “Lipids” and the purpose of the lab is to become familiar with the properties and reactions of certain lipids called fats or oil. For this lab‚ students are testing the properties and reactions of lipids and soap will be prepared and its properties will be tested. To begin the experiment‚ place 5 mls of water‚ ethyl alcohol‚ chloroform‚ and toluene in to four clean test tubes and add 1 drops of cottonseed oil to each test tube. Shake it and record your observation. To do part B‚ in three

Arlind Mara Paper Towel Lab Report AP Biology 15 September 2011 Which Towel is The Quicker-Picker Upper! To determine which of the most popular paper towel brands such as Bounty and Marcal would be the Quicker-Picker-Upper I conducted the following experiment during which I dipped 6in X 6in squares of paper towels into 100mL and measured the amount of water absorbed by the towels in 20 seconds. After averaging all 3 trials for the paper towel brands that I tested I arrived to the conclusion

The purpose of this lab that was completed was to observe standing wave patterns in clamped strings‚ and understand the effect of the standing wave frequencies of changing the length (L)‚ tension (T)‚ and linear density (p) of the strings. Standing wave patterns in strings are observed at certain excitation frequencies for special values of L‚ T‚ and p. A standing wave can be defined as a vibration of a system in which some particular points remain fixed while others between them vibrate with the

In this lab we tested to see if the amount of sunlight exposed to the basil seed‚ would affect the growth. The null hypothesis for this experiment was that there would be no statistical difference between the green‚ yellow‚ and red basil seeds’ growth. Three alternate hypotheses are: If we expose the green seed to 48 hours of sunlight and the yellow seed to 24 hours of sunlight‚ then the green seed with grow more than the yellow. The opposite of this hypothesis would alternate 2. Another alternate

Experiment 4A: Determination of a Partition Coefficient for Benzoic Acid in Methylene Chloride and Water Experiment 4B: Solvent Extraction I: Acid-Base Extraction Using the System Benzoic Acid‚ Methylene Chloride‚ and Sodium Bicarbonate Solution Objective A: To accustom participants (students) to general procedures that are used to obtain a partition coefficient at the microscale level. We will gain experience in such practices as the transfer of microliter volumes of solutions with a Pasteur filter

Journal Questions 1. Make a hypothesis about how you think the two species of Paramecium will grow alone and how they will grow when they are grown together. (Make sure you understand what a hypothesis is before you address this!) Each paramecium growing on its own will be able to grow and flourish because there is nothing stopping it or competing with it. It will be able to grow to its full capacity. When there are both parameciums growing together; one paramecium‚ the stronger of the two
