“The solution of the difficulty is plain: motion is in the movable. It is the fulfilment of this potentiality by the action of that which has the power of causing motion; and the actuality of that which has the power of causing motion is not other than the actuality of the movable; for it must be the fulfilment of both. A thing is capable of causing motion because it can do this‚ it is a mover because it actually does it. But it is on the movable that it is capable of acting. Hence there is a single

Salinity Experiment Aim To determine a method of measuring a soil sample’s salinity level in order to measure 3 samples’ salinity level. Hypothesis I think that by running a current through a salt solution and measuring the resultant amperage‚ a pattern in the recordings will help find a soil sample’s salinity level. Variables Controlled Amount of solution (100 mL)‚ supplied voltage (4V)‚ amount of soil (50 gm) & water (150 mL) in soil sample’s solution. Independent Amps recorded
