This lab has introduced the use of daphnia‚ pill bugs‚ amoeba and Uglena. We the AP Biology students were first introduced to the test subjects to test his or her capability of handling living organisms for upcoming science experiments. The AP Biology students were asked to create original experiments for all test subjects testing reactions to gravity‚ light intensity and reaction to food. Daphnia‚ or Daphnia magna‚ are microscopic organisms in which the students created an original lab to test

Is Distillation? Answer: Distillation is a widely used method for separating mixtures based on differences in the conditions required to change the phase of components of the mixture. To separate a mixture of liquids‚ the liquid can be heated to force components‚ which have different boiling points‚ into the gas phase. The gas is then condensed back into liquid form and collected. Repeating the process on the collected liquid to improve the purity of the product is called double distillation. Although

Experiment 2: Synthesis of Isoamyl Acetate (Banana Flavor) Paul Symon C. Manuel*‚ Katherine Merene‚ Charlene Mondelo‚ and Pamela Mallari Department of Chemistry‚ University of Santo Tomas‚ Manila‚ Philippines Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to synthesize isoamyl acetate via an esterification reaction between acetic acid and isoamyl alcohol‚ using concentrated sulfuric acid as a catalyst. The product was washed with sodium hydrogen carbonate‚ as well as with water‚ and then dried

motion of the simple pendulum provided valuable insights into the gravitational force acting on the students at the University of Utah. The experiment was of value since the gravitational force is one all people continuously experience and the collection and analysis of data proved to be a rewarding learning experience in error analysis. Furthermore‚ this experiment tested a mathematical model for the value of gravity that that makes use of the small-angle approximation and the proportional relationship

# Now You See It – Copper Cycle Lab The purpose of the lab is to discover what happens when someone executes a series of procedures‚ beginning with copper metal. What is done | What is observed | 1. Started with copper‚ Cu (s). | reddish‚ brownish‚ orange-ish‚ powder-like | 2. Added nitric acid‚ HNO3 (aq). | acid turns blue and smells like chlorine. | 3. Added water‚ H2O (l). | stayed the same | 4. Added sodium hydroxide‚ NaOH (aq). | changed consistency‚ gel-like | 5. Heated the

Lab Report 1 Introduction: Proper chemical formulas entitle many challenges such as the Law of Multiple proportions that states that there may be more than one plausible mole ratio for the elements in that compound. However if we determine the mass of each element in the compound we will be able to get the true chemical formula. In this experiment‚ we used the law of definite proportions to find the chemical formula for a hydrated compound containing copper‚ chlorine‚ and water molecules

Wave Nature of Light Objective: The purpose of this lab is to investigate interference‚ otherwise known as the diffraction of light. A beam of light acts a wave‚ and we are able to use equations so calculate the wavelength of the light used. The diffraction of a straight edge demonstrates that light waves bend around straight edges‚ allowing light to enter an area of shadow. When waves are superposed‚ they reinforce each other when crests are in phase and cancel out when they are not in phase

Lab Report 3 In this lab‚ we will take a trip to the planetarium lab and will learn about Right ascension and declination‚ and altitude and zenith. After looking at the different points shown‚ we will log the altitude and zenith in the chart in our lab manual. Now we will look at the same points and label the right ascension and declination. Then we will learn about the easiest way to locate the star Polaris. As we started the first program‚ we answered a few questions to make sure we knew
