Grady et al (2014) not only looked at growth rings in fossils‚ but also sought to estimate their metabolic rates by looking at changes in body size as animals grew from birth to adults. The researchers compiled an unprecedented dataset on growth and metabolism from studies of hundreds of animals encompassing both extinct and living species‚ including cold- and warm-blooded creatures‚ as well as dinosaurs. In general‚ warm-blooded mammals‚ that grow about 10 times faster than cold-blooded reptiles

Grassland (Savanna) The Grassland (Savanna) is nothing but grass‚ shrubs and isolated trees. The grasslands can be located between a tropical rain forest and a desert. Unlike the rainforest‚ the Savanna Grassland happens to not have enough rainfall to support a forest. Savanna’s especially are known to be tropical grasslands and are found on either side of the equator‚ right on the edges of the more tropical rainforests

Aim: To investigate the factors that affect the resistance in a conductor. The main factors that affect the resistance in a conductor are: · Length · Temperature · Cross sectional area · Material · Magnetism The factor that we are going to change is the cross sectional area. Hypothesis: I think that the higher the cross sectional area‚ the lower the resistance in the conductor will be. This is because the Resistance in a metal conductor happens because as the electrons move through the material

GCSE Physics Coursework - Resistance of a Wire Coursework Introduction (Theory) In this piece of Coursework I am going to investigate the resistance in a piece of wire. Resistance is the force that slows down the flow of electrons; this can be due to electrons colliding. The total length of the wires will affect the amount of resistance. The longer the wire‚ the more resistance that there will be. This is also true for thickness of wire; the thinner the wire is the more resistance. Resistance
