react. Theory: The purpose of this lab was to confirm the chemical formula of magnesium oxide by comparing the masses of pure magnesium solid prior to any reaction and magnesium oxide solid after a reaction between all of the magnesium and oxygen from the air when heated from a Bunsen burner in a crucible. Using molar masses of both magnesium and oxygen‚ an expected percent composition‚ by mass‚ was found and compared to our experimental results. Experimental: 1. Setup ring stand 2. Obtain desired

Lab 1 : Scientific Method 20 Table 2: Water quality vs. fish population 1. Based on the information in Table 2‚ (in the lab manual) what patterns do you observe? 2. Develop a hypothesis relating to the amount of dissolved oxygen measured in the water sample and the number of fish observed in the body of water. 3. What would your experimental approach be to test this hypothesis? 4. What are the independent and dependent variables? 5. What would be your control? 6. What type of graph would

this lab was to a digital oscilloscope to measure various signals. The goal of Part 1 was to measure the mean value‚ the frequency‚ peak to peak voltage‚ and the RMS voltage of a triangular input signal. To meet this goal‚ a function generator was used to generate a 1 kHz triangular wave signal with a 1 V amplitude‚ and the oscilloscope was used to measure the values of that signal. Using the oscilloscope‚ the mean value was found to be -37.6 mV‚ the RMS Voltage was 292 mV‚ the frequency was 1 kHz

Purpose: We are doing this experiment to find the best ratio of potassium nitrate to powdered sugar for a model rocket motor that will create the most thrust. We are also testing if adding fins will affect the flight distance of the rocket. Hypothesis: The best ratio for potassium nitrate to powdered sugar is 1 to 3 because Grant Thompson‚ who has experimented with the best ratio of powdered sugar to potassium nitrate‚ has stated that “The 1 to 3 ratio is best for creating the most amount of thrust

On the Origin of Species chapter IV outlines Darwin’s proposal on how a new species is generated via natural selection over a long period of time. In Darwin’s theory of speciation‚ he proposes that all organisms within a species must express some degree of variation‚ which allow for organisms with the most advantageous variations to produce the most offspring (Darwin 10) This also means that the variations must be heritable from one generation to the next. In chapter IV Darwin uses the examples variants

Kristen Magliola 9/9/13 BIO: 414L Lab Report: SOC Medium I. Purpose: To make liquid and solid media for microbial growth II. Background: There are four different types of media used to grow microbes. They consist of Enriched media‚ Nutrient media‚ Selective media‚ and differential media. Enriched media is a growth media supplemented with complex biological molecules. This type of media is used for blood‚ coagulated blood‚ amino acids‚ etc. Nutrient media provides nutrients necessary

Species Interaction * The relationships between two species in an ecosystem. * The interactions between two species need not be through direct contact. Species may affect each other through intermediaries such as shared resources or common enemies. Major factors in evolution and adaptation: * Predation * Competition for scarce resources Terminologies: * Habitat – the actual physical location where a species lives. * Conditions – physical or chemical attributes of the
