Science in the Big City: Exploring Career Opportunities in the Natural and Physical Sciences New York City May 13-18‚ 2014 Students in the Natural Sciences at the University of Houston-Downtown are generally accomplished and motivated students with strong interests in science. However‚ students typically have a very limited perception of the science careers available to them outside of medicine. To educate students as to the array of potential careers available in the sciences (not medicine)

Static Electricity Physics Lab #1 June 24‚ 2011 Purpose The purpose of this experiment is to explain the different aspects of static electricity‚ including effects of electrical charges on small-uncharged objects‚ electrical attraction and repulsion‚ creation of electrical charge‚ practical uses of electrical charges‚ and measurement of electrical force between electrical charges. Findings Electric current is the flow of electric charge. Some materials become electrically charged when rubbed

The purpose of this lab was to determine if a there is a change in mass when a gas is produced and determine if gas has mass. To conduct this experiment‚ the group must be careful not to let the Alka-Seltzer tablet get wet before the bottle is closed by wiping the lip of the bottle and the cap so it remains dry‚ or risk gas escaping into the air and not being captured by the bottle. Also‚ the group must be sure to close the bottle tightly with the cap‚ because gas may escape this way as well. During

Introduction. Friction was studied in this lab. The experiments were conducted using a clipboard glued to various surfaces with diffirentiating frictional properties. In order for us to test the varying Static friction or Kinetic friction we used a Newton force gauge‚ some wooden blocks‚ and a metal weight. The actual experiment consisted of two parts. The first part measured the net force‚ or more specific the net force required to overcome the kinetic friction coefficient‚ to move the block across

Determine what factors make a hot air balloon or a helium balloon float Student Instructions: 1. Why does a hot air balloon float even though it is so heavy? Hot air balloons float because the buoyancy force of the hot air is more that the weight. Buoyancy occurs because the hot air has a lower density than the cooler outside air. This lower
