concerned with Irish history. Looming over the scene depicted is the spectre of the potato famine that afflicted Ireland from 1845-49. The potato crop‚ staple for the Irish‚ failed‚ and with cataclysmic results. About half the population of three million died‚ while a million people emigrated – many to America. The first section of the poem is written in alternately rhymed quatrains that describe a rural scene of potato digging that is clearly in progress much later than a similar scene around the time

Topic Selection Microsoft recently unveiled its prototype‚ Surface‚ their version of a tablet or alternative device to a personal computer. It is questionable how Microsoft‚ a known software company‚ will be able to manufacture and sell a tablet device that is a contender in the marketplace against devices such as the iPad. Thesis: It is critical that Microsoft produce a device that overcomes the limitations of its competitors and adds features that set it apart‚ in order to define itself in

Experiment No : 5 Title : Concrete Cube Compressive Strength (7 days) Introduction : To determine the strength‚ maximum load can be applied and workability of concrete mixture. Theory : Hard concrete test were conducted at the age of 3‚ 7‚ 14‚ 21 and 28 days after curing(but we tested it for 7 days only). The concrete strength increases according to the age‚the mixture of its concrete design and the strength increment will continue for sometimes. Nevertheless‚ for most of the work‚ the

Science Research Paper: “Potato Battery” I. Problem a. Main Problem This study aims to prove whether fruits and vegetables are good reserves of electricity. The potato‚ known for its high Phosphoric Acid and Sulfuric Acid‚ has been as our chosen fruit to prove and conduct our answers upon the accessibility of fruits and vegetables as an effective renewable energy source. b. Sub-Problems To further provide extra and specific information‚ the researchers have decided to add the following

Group 2 Science Investigatory Project I Title: Potato Battery II Objective: We only need a potato‚ a couple nails and a piece of wire to make a potato battery. It’s a fun science project that helps show the way things work in a battery by using everyday items we see around the house. The goal is to learn more about electricity‚ and possibly a few new science terms along the way. III Materials: * Two Potatoes * Two short pieces of heavy copper wire * Two common galvanized nails

The History of the Potato Chip One of the most recognizable snack foods is the potato chip. Who can resist this thin slice of potato‚ fried into a crisp then salted? Potato chips are delicious and very popular. They satisfy the taste buds of many by hitting all the essential characteristics of a good treat. They are convenient‚ easily found‚ salty‚ greasy‚ and come in a wide variety of flavors. It is hard to believe their invention was a mistake. When George Crum‚ a Native American chef in Saratoga

POTATO INTO BATTERY Abstract a.Purpose To lessen the consume of electric charge b. Procedure We insert copper and zinc electrodes in to the potato‚ close but not touching each other. We use Clip leads to connect our electrodes to the Multimeter to measure voltage between two electrodes or current passing through the multimeter. For this experiment we used a galvanized nail for our Zinc electrode. c. Result It did go well and the potato did give voltage to the equipment (clock) However‚ the

through several ways‚ like diffusion? Aim: To plan and carry out an investigation to show the relationship between volume/Cm3‚ surface area‚ and diffusion using agar cubes measured in time/s; and to demonstrate‚ using diffusion‚ why the size of cells is limited‚ keeping the room temperature and pressure constant. Hypothesis: I expect to find that when the surface area to volume of a cell reaches a certain level‚ diffusion alone won’t be able to supply the cell materials needed‚ and as single-celled
