a way society can interact with both the world of information and physical world is the “SixthSense” project. The SixthSense project is an idea started by Pranav Mistry and his associates from the Fluid Interfaces Group based out of the MIT Media lab. This organization has many projects which are all founded on a few common goals. This goal can come to fruition by focusing on innovations. These Innovations include enhancing the experience of using technology by implementing ways to make the experience

of the wire increases every 10°C until the highest temperature is reached and the measurements are recorded. Conclusion The hypothesis that when the temperature of a wire increases‚ the resistance value of the wire will also increase and the conductivity of the wire will reduce is proven to be true. The temperature of the wire increases due to its power loss‚ which is calculated as I2x R.‚ where “I” is the current in the wire and R is the resistance. The higher the current in the wire or the higher

there is a strong positive correlation between the average rate of conductivity and the surface area: volume ratio. As the surface area of the Agar cube increases‚ the rate of conductivity will steadily increase‚ too. The trend line of the graph shows as an exponential graph because at one point there will be no more conductivity due to too small or too big Agar cubes. A difference can be seen in the average rate of conductivity depending on surface area because the Agar cubes with a larger total

6 R’s The 6 R’s are an important checklist. They are used by designers to reduce the environmental impact of products. They can also be used to evaluate the environmental impact of other products. Respect – In order to understand what it means to be a part of the solution‚ you have to begin with respect. Respect for all things: people‚ animals‚ bugs‚ birds‚ fish‚ snakes‚ rivers‚ lakes‚ oceans‚ trees‚ mountains‚ valleys and so on. Rethink — Everything on Earth is connected‚ and every decision

Lab #5: Refraction of Light Theory: Refraction can be defined as the bending of a wave when it enters a medium which causes it to have some reduced speed. In terms of light‚ refraction occurs when the ray passes through some medium which slows its speed; such as water or glass. In this instance the ray tends to bend towards the normal of the medium. The amount of bending or refraction which occurs can be calculated using Snell’s Law (). Objective: To measure the index of refraction of Lucite
