in humans (Caplan‚ 286). The most well known experiments in this regard were the experiments conducted on twins at Auschwitz. The other goal of the Nazi scientists was to provide human data that could be applied to the war effort. Experimentation of this sort mainly probed the extremes‚ which the human body could tolerate in a hostile environment. The most famous experiment of this sort was the Dachau Hypothermia Study.’ The rationale of the experiments was as follows: "A consequence of air combat

Eric Wu 117 Experiment 1.6: Determination of Density Abstract: The purpose of the experiment was to determine if density is an intensive or extensive property of matter. The experiment proves that density is an intensive property. The density of an object remains the same no matter how much of it is present. The density is an intensive property because mass and volume changes at the same rate. Introduction: This experiment was designed to determine if density is an intensive or extensive

Assignment: Do sports drinks really work? Question... How do sports drinks affect muscle reaction time? Hypothesis My hypothesis is if sport drinks are consumed‚ then the reaction rate will improve. Sport drinks provide individuals with the required amount of water‚ carbohydrates and electrolytes (sodium and potassium) which is lost in sweat while exercising. Maintaining adequate electrolyte levels will enable better cell function‚ which is needed for muscle endurance‚ among other bodily capabilities

Medical Experiments of the Holocaust As a society we place those in the medical profession on a pedestal. They are people to be looked up to and admired. In many ways they are Gods‚ right here with us on earth. People put the hope and faith in doctors hoping they can perform miracles. Throughout history‚ doctors have indeed preformed many wonders. There were‚ however‚ some doctors that betrayed this belief and peoples trust. These doctors could be found in concentration camps such as Auschwitz

Analysis Torque is the ability of force to change the rotational motion of a particle. It is also called the moment of force. It is always specified with regard to the axis of rotation. On the experiment the axis of rotation serves as the model balance. This means that as much as torque is directly proportional with the force applied on a particle‚ it is also dependent on the perpendicular distance of the applied force to the axis of rotation. On the first activity we need to determine

develop weaknesses that result in malfunctions or breakages. Corroded metal can also not conduct electricity‚ which again can interfere with the functions of that metal. Aim: the aim of this experiment is to evaluate the effect that sodium chloride has on the rate of corrosion of iron. 1. Experiment 1 2. Hypothesis: An increase in the level of sodium chloride in water will increase the rate of corrosion of an iron nail. 3. The independent variable is the amount of sodium chloride

Title: Liquids and Solids Purpose: The experiment will help determine two important physical properties‚ boiling and melting point‚ of liquids and solids. Procedure: Before starting the experiment I gathered all materials appropriate for the experiment and prepare a safe environment for my experiment. I record the boiling point of the Isopropyl Alcohol and the melting point of powdered Acetamide with lab equipment such as the thermometer‚ capillary tube‚ beaker‚ test tube‚ and burner fuel
