In this lab we are going to be observing the decomposition of piglets over a month’s time. There are theory questions that have been given to us before and after the lab. We look back at our original theory to see where we went wrong‚ and then correct it. The lab was disgusting‚ surprising‚ and very interesting. The first questioned to be answered is which piglet decomposes faster‚ a piglet that is in its natural state‚ that is burnt‚ that is buried‚ and that is buried in a wooden box? With

On September 10th‚ 2017 a series of 10 dead piglets were put out in the morning. We then observed these piglets for the next 15 days to see how they would progress. We had a series of question like which piglet decomposed faster‚ how do flies find dead bodies and how the secession of insects were on the bodies that were hanging and on the ground. First‚ one of the questions was on if the piglet in the natural state‚ the burnt one or the buried one would decompose faster. Originally I thought that

Discussion #1-Body Farm I have known Body Farm from “Bones”‚ a crime drama television series featuring a beautiful forensic anthropologist‚ and I thought it only exists in fiction. The documentary proved to me that the human decomposition research facilities really exists‚ and its use for science was amazing. Initially‚ I thought this movie was not for everyone to enjoy. Most scenes were very disturbing as the human remains exposed in the elements not in an enclosed laboratory. Although‚ I love

Starting on October 7 we began taking notes and observing the bodies of decomposing piglets. We had 13 piglets we are observing decompose. We had one “naked” and one clothed on cement‚ one “naked” and one clothed on the grass. Two piglets were buried‚ also one with clothes and one without. Three piglets “naked” on the grass‚ one with a gunshot wound‚ one with a knife wound and one that has been burned. Two of the piglets were suspended by a pole in the ground‚ also one clothed and one not. And finally

138.6 g KClO3 X ( 1 mol / 122.55 g ) = 1.131 mol KClO3 3. Determine the limiting reagent [if necessary] (Use mole ratios to figure out.) * Not necessary to determine because there is only 1 reactant in this decomposition reaction. 4. Use ratios to find the moles of the reactant or product you need to find. Since KClO3 is the only reactant‚ it is the limiting reagent. You use the moles of KClO3 if you have to calculate how many moles of oxygen

observe results and patterns. Graph 1 shows the increased decomposition of H202 that was produced when the amount of catalase was increased by 2 disks every time. The more catalase that was added‚ the faster the decomposition was. The fastest and most efficient decomposition was when there were 10 catalase filter papers in 10mL of H202. The graduated cylinder was filled with oxygen in 1 minute and 46 seconds. Graph 2 shows that the decomposition rate stayed relatively similar with two catalase disks

Topic- Green Burials General Purpose- To persuade Specific Purpose- To persuade my audience to select green burials as an alternative form of burial. Green Burials‚ an Alternative to Traditional Burial Methods With the effects global warming and other natural disasters becoming more frequent‚ it is safe to say pollution has created a major crisis on our planet. Theses effect can be seen in the United State with the major cold front that has just pushed in from Canada over this past week. Scientist

31st. The whole decomposition process didn’t take nearly as long as we had originally anticipated. Every day except weekends and fall break we went out to the “farm” to observe any changes to the bodies. For some pigs the decomposition happened rapidly. For others it took quite a bit longer. After watching the pugs for a while we realized that some pugs seemed to decompose significantly faster than the others. We found that pig in its natural state showed signs of decomposition faster than any

1. Let us design a database for an bank‚ including information about customers and their accounts. Information about a customer includes their name‚ address‚ phone‚ and Social Security number. Accounts have numbers‚ types(e.g.‚ savings‚ checking) and balances. We also need to record the customer(s) who own an account. Draw the E/R diagram for this database. Be sure to include arrows where appropriate‚ to indicate the multiplicity of a relationship. Solution: [pic] 2. For your E/R diagram of

rich nutrients and recycle valuable nutrients and therefore reduce the use of artificial fertilizers. Composting converts kitchen and garden waste or the food scraps into dark colored soil that is high in nutrients. Composting is the controlled decomposition of organic materials. Home composting is the natural degradation of yard trimmings‚ food scraps‚ wood ashes‚ shredded paper‚ coffee grounds‚ and other household organic waste by naturally occurring microscopic organisms. Composting can reduce a
