Brain Structures and Functions Viviana N. Reyes ESE370: Learning & the Brain (CXI1409A) Instructor: Charisse Jones March 9‚ 2014 Brain Structures and Functions Many are fascinated by the brain and its functions. Our brain is composed of different units and lobes that work together but each part‚ of course‚ has a special function. We all ask ourselves‚ how is it that we learn? Do our senses have anything to do with getting new information into our brain? Technology

LAB REPORT 1 - LAB 7 CELL MEMBRANE FUNCTION Marisela Camacho Legarreta June 30‚ 2013 ACTIVITY 1 INTRODUCTION Be aware that all molecules have kinetic energy‚ which means that is an active energy that is always in motion. Molecules move in all different ways and this create an evenly distributed movement which is best known as diffusion. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a region of their higher concentration to a lower concentration. METHODS Check the reaction of different

Lab Practicum‚ Micro 200‚ study guide When you did your hand wash experiment‚ you decided a variable to test‚ say‚ hot vs cold water‚ you called this variable an “experimental variable” since it was the variable you were testing experimentally. In order to get meaningful data‚ you need to keep other things the same‚ for example the washing time had to be the same for both‚ you called the washing time a _Control_______ variable. Through the semester‚ you have used two bacteria that produce

SOLIDS: Mass‚ Volume and Density Measurements A. Overview Review Sections 1.4 - 1.6 in your textbook (Chemistry: The Central Science‚ 9th Ed. ‚ Brown‚ LeMay‚ Bursten‚ & Burdge) This experiment will introduce you to a very important concept in science‚ especially chemistry: DENSITY. Density is the relationship between the mass of an object and the volume which it occupies. Solid substances generally have the greatest density‚ normally in the range of 1 - 25 g/cm3. Most liquids have densities between

Determination of an Electrochemical Series In electrochemistry‚ a voltaic cell is a specially prepared system in which an oxidation-reduction reaction occurs spontaneously. This spontaneous reaction produces an easily measured electrical potential which has a positive value. Voltaic cells have a variety of uses and you commonly refer to them as a “battery”. Half-cells are normally produced by placing a piece of metal into a solution containing a cation of the metal (e.g.‚ Cu metal in a solution

2 major lab accidents: 1) Adam and Joey‚ best friends since kindergarten‚ were doing an experiment in engineering class. The boys launched a potato at the wrong rate of speed and distance and broke a school window when they were trying out their potato launcher that was made to be launched indoors inside the school lab. If Adam and Joey had listened carefully to the teachers instructions‚ they would have launched the potato to travel the correct distance and speed. Maria and Kathy‚ two girls who
