Laboratory Report The title of the lab that we completed in class was The Law of Conservation of Matter. The purpose of this lab was to find out if matter can be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. Dalton came up with the atomic theory‚ which included the law of conservation of matter. His theory was that matter cannot be created or destroyed and that chemical reactions only rearrange the way that atoms are combined; the atoms themselves don’t change. The procedure went like this

CONSERVATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES The term “resource” means anything that we use from our environment to achieve our objective. For example‚ we require bricks‚ cement‚ iron‚ wood etc. to construct a building. All these items are called the resources for construction of building. Are source can be defined as „any natural or artificial substance‚ energy or organism‚ which is used by human being for its welfare. These resources are of two types: 1.Natural resources 2.Artificial resources CONSERVATION

This paper will emphasize the conservation strategies surrounding Orangutans and the reasons as to why they are so desperately needed. Orangutans are quickly becoming more and more endangered‚ and are expected to become completely extinct by the year 2025. ( ) In a world where humans have the capability to destroy these lands that once solely belonged to these primates‚ humans also have the ability to conserve and protect this species. The ways in which humans and international conservatory groups

Scientific laws explain observations and experiments that are verified and considered very high forms of scientific intelligence. The law of conservation of mass states that mass in an isolated system cannot be created or destroyed in an ordinary chemical reaction; rather conserved. In an easier explanation‚ everything you start with‚ you must end with. Although‚ the substance can look or be shaped differently from the original. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter an object contains. An example

Wildlife & Conservation Statistics Extinction of Species • Every 20 minutes‚ the world adds another 3‚500 human lives but loses one or more entire species of animal or plant life - at least 27‚000 species per year. (Source: PBS) • At the present rates of extinction‚ as many as 20% of the world’s 7-15 million species could be gone in the next 30 years. This rate of extinction has been unprecedented since the disappearance of dinosaurs 65 million years ago (Source: WWF). Habitat Destruction (Source:

ENERGY CONSERVATION IN INDIA INTRODUCTION India has made rapid strides towards economic self-reliance over the last few years. Impressive progress has been made in the fields of industry‚ agriculture‚ communication‚ transport and other sectors necessitating growing consumption of energy for developmental and economic activities. If India is to achieve the targeted growth in GDP‚ it would need commensurate input of energy‚ mainly commercial energy in the form of coal‚ oil‚ gas and electricity.

The birth and growth of human civilization and culture has been very intimately connected with the forests. Forests have had a great influence on human thought and way of living. For example‚ the Vedas and Upanishads‚ the oldest known religious‚ philosophical and literary monuments of mankind are the direct products of forest-life in ancient India. The Aranyakas or the Forest Texts form an integral part of these oldest testaments of human wisdom and philosophy. They are called so because they were
