Introduction During the course of this lab‚ we explored whether or not certain processed foods contained Genetically Modified Organisms. Genetically modified food is an important subject in the world today. Ever since Flavr Savr came out with their tomatoes grown from genetically modified seeds in 1994 genetically modified foods has become ever more popular amongst distributors of produce (Mestel‚ 2013). The world’s population has grown by around one billion in the last decade (US Bureau of the

Thermodynamics- Enthalpy of Reaction and Hess’s Law December 5‚ 2011 Kylie Case‚ Emma McKee‚ Rebecca Smith Purpose: In this lab‚ the purpose was to verify Hess’s Law. Theory: Four main topics were covered during this experiment including enthalpy of reaction‚ heat of formation‚ Hess’s Law‚ and calorimetry. The first being enthalpy of reaction‚ ΔHrxn‚ which is the heat or enthalpy change for a chemical reaction. The energy change is equal to the amount of heat transferred at a constant

Abstract An attitude is a representation of an individual ’s degree of like or dislike for an act‚ object or evaluation. This report aims to conclude whether there is a difference between female and male attitudes towards smoking. It is hypothesised that females will have a more positive attitude towards smoking. Questionnaires using a 5 point likert scale will be utilised to measure each participants’ attitude towards smoking through their responses. Results stated there is no significant difference

Experimenting with a Candle Justin Nguyen Mrs. Howley 11/16/11 Mod F Purpose: the purpose is to learn how the process of a candle burning. The goals of this experiment are to practice in the art of observation‚ the art of questioning‚ and the development of a better understanding of this process. Hypothesis: through this experiment‚ we will learn how candle is working. Materials: * Candle * Note card * Matches or butane lighter * Aluminum foil * 1L beaker * Balance

Science Lab- Determining the Most Effective Antacid Robby Grewal SNC2D0 Introduction: Heartburn is a form of indigestion by acid digestion it affects many people worldwide. A solution to defeat heartburn is to take an antacid. An antacid is medicine which neutralizes your stomach acidity. In this experiment‚ we will be using three liquid antacids which are Phillips Milk of Magnesia‚ Life Brand Milk of Magnesia and Diovol plus AF and determine which one is the most effective at neutralizing

Sedimentator Lab Introduction: in this lab we will be working with a sedimentator to observe and classify sediments. A sediment is naturally-occurring material that is broken down by processes of weathering and erosion‚ and is subsequently transported by the action of fluids such as wind‚ water‚ or ice. Side One Purpose: to observe and classify sediments Part I 1. Gently shake the sedimentator to loosen the sediments and lay the sedimentator on its side 2. Observe the water

Introduction: To achieve genetic experiments with haploid organisms‚ genetic strains of different genotypes must be crossed from one another. Following fertilization and meiosis‚ the meiotic products can be analyzed as the ascomycete fungus‚ Sordaria fimicola. Sordaria can be used as a model to study meiotic segregation. The trait followed was the ascospore color. Ascospore color is a single gene trait therefore it is easily observed under a light microspore. Which allele is dominant is very tough

Ahmad Shrab . Introduction This lab is purposed to familiarize basic equipment and techniques used in the study of microorganisms. In addition‚ learn some basic techniques used in identifying prokaryotes and make and view microscope slides of some common prokaryotes. In this lab ‚ I worked two experiments ‚ the first one is cultivation bacteria "colony "‚ and When microorganisms are cultivated

Procedures: In the first lab‚ seven test tubes were attained and six of them were filled with the solutions that were listed (Na Pyruvate‚ MgSO4‚ NaF‚ Glucose‚ Water‚ and yeast suspension). The last test tube was filled with water. After they were filled with the solutions they were incubated at 37 degrees Celsius for about forty minutes. After the forty minutes passed take the test tubes and measure the height of the bubbles that formed in millimeters. For the second lab‚ attain three beakers‚

Egg Lab Report Introduction: An egg is a model of a human because the egg has a cell membrane like humans do inside and outside of the body that let things pass through like water. We can use eggs to study the effect of changes in the external environment on the internal environment by having harsh environments like putting the egg in only alcohol and see what happens to the inside of the egg. Diffusion is the movement of a substance down its concentration gradient from a more to a less concentrated
