i) To find the relationship between supplied energy and change in temperature of water. ii) To find the specific heat capacity (SHC) of water. Hypothesis: As time increases so does the temperature since the water is exposed to the heated wire for a longer period of time. Variables: The Dependent Variable is the temperature of the water‚ and since the Energy is calculated using temperature it is a dependent variable as well. The constant variables are the voltage and current. Theory: Energy

Culture Shock‚ Defined and Described Culture shock is defined as "a common psychological response to an unfamiliar culture [which] is characterized by disorientation‚ heightened anxiety‚ and more rarely by depressed or paranoid behavior." (1) Three groups of people are prone to culture shock - those outside of their own countries‚ those experiencing a very different culture within their own countries‚ and former ex-patriots who are now returning home. There are also three phases of culture

Chem 105 Guide to the Formal Laboratory Report The purpose of a formal report is to communicate effectively to another person the goal‚ procedure‚ data analysis method‚ and results of your laboratory work. The report is divided into several well-defined sections. Each section must be present in a complete report. To earn an outcome point for the laboratory report‚ a student must submit a formal lab report that earns a score of at least 90/100. Each error (factual‚ grammatical‚ typographical

Lab Report Abstract: The purpose of this lab was to see how magnesium reacts with oxygen. This reaction must be forced with heat. As magnesium changes to magnesium oxide the mass increased. Procedure: 1. Set up the stand and bunsen burne. 2. Go to crucible heat oven to obtain a crucible. 3. Weigh the crucible and lids mass. 4. Break up the magnesium ribbon on the crucible and weigh the mass of the magnesium‚ crucible‚ and lid. 5. Place the crucible on the ring stand over the flame. Allow

Genetic Drift Worms Lab 1. The average number of generations it took for the smaller population to become fixed was 10.2. 2. The average number of generations it took for the larger population to become fixed was 10.9. 3. In the smaller population I started off with six variations of the worm and ended with one variation. In the larger population I started off with 12 variations of the worm and ended with 1. 4. Genetic drift caused the changes in these populations. 6. Genetic drift has a

Lactic acid bacteria(LAB)‚ a bacteria that can be found in the production of cheese‚ its stress gene was investigated in the experiment by using various biochemical and genetic techniques to identify and extract. The characterisation of the strain illustrates how identification of strains differ using different methods‚ such as gram stain and 16s rRNA screening. After the characterisation‚ the stress gene isolation assist the further understanding of the gene on LAB be giving different stress

Christian Chou Mrs. McCarron 12/10/14 A.P Biology Drosophila melanogaster Genetics Introduction: The common fruit fly‚ scientifically named Drosophila melanogaster‚ is used by many in genetic studies. Because they can be easily cultured‚ have a relatively short generation time‚ and are prolific breeders‚ fruit flies are often very popular in genetic investigations. Furthermore‚ mutations and sex are easy to visualize among the fruit flies. Male fruit flies have a smaller abdomen than their female counterparts
