Abstract This lab’s purpose was to test the patterns of percolation in various places. This lab tested how soil would absorb water based on different places. Distance from a group of trees‚ distance from a swamp‚ and different types of soil were tested. From the results collected‚ you can not prove‚ but you can infer that the ability to absorb increases as you go farther away from a swamp‚ and a group of trees. The ability to absorb also increases based on how much silt is in soil. Introduction

Lab 3 : Techniques in Microscopy Title : Preparation of light microscope observe cell organisms. Objective : To observe and investigate the cell structure under the light microscope. Introduction A microscope is an instrument used to magnify and resolve a specimen. It is important to know several important features of microscopy which involves magnification‚ resolution and contrast. Magnification is the enlargement of a specimen while resolution is the ability to distinguish detail or the

is involved with the cannon being fired then the force of gravity would cause the cannon to start to slow down‚ wouldn’t go as far and the direction or trajectory of the cannon ball would be a curved line going down. Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to give the student a better understanding about projectile motion and to understand Newtons theories and laws of motion. We will be firing the plastic ball from the projectile launcher three times from eight different angles from the ground &

Date: 25th November‚ 2011 Aim: To show that when Hot and Cold water are mixed‚ heat lost by hot water is equal to heat gained by cold water. Theory: This Lab is done to demonstrate “the Law of Conservation of Energy”‚ which implies: - “the heat lost by one (1) substance must be equal to the heat gained by another substance within the system”. Apparatus: Two (2) similar Calorimeters: a Thermometer: a Measuring Cylinder: a Bunsen burner: a Tripod: an Asbestos Gauze Cork Mat. Procedure:

Enzyme Lab: Peter Kuetzing – 10/4/2012 – F Block 1. How does changing the concentration of enzyme affect the rate of decomposition of H2O2? When more enzymes is added the rate of reaction speeds up. In this case‚ H2O2 will produce more O2‚ in return the kpa/min will go up. 2. What do you think will happen to the rate of reaction if the concentration of enzyme is increased to five drops? Predict what the rate would be for 5 drops. I think that the rate of reaction will slightly increase from

Investigation and Preparation of Esterification Lab Introduction Esters are classified as organic compounds commonly derived from carboxylic acids. They are compounded from the reaction of a carboxylic acid with an alcohol in the presence of a strong acid to be used as a catalyst. The formula that represents an ester is R-COO-R where both Rs’ are alkyl groups‚ one which is bonded to an oxygen‚ and the other to a carbon which is double bonded to 1 oxygen and single bonded to the other. Esters

An Experiment to Test the Effect of Temperature on the Rate of Photosynthesis in Green Algae Background Photosynthesis is an amazing process where plants are able to create their own food as well as oxygen using sunlight‚ carbon dioxide (co2)‚ and water. The part of the plant responsible for photosynthesis is the enzymes in the chlorophyll (structures that carry out photosynthesis located in leaves). Photosynthesis is the process of creating glucose. Water + Carbon Dioxide + Sunlight = Glucose

Chemistry Lab Report Water Hydration Introduction: A hydrated crystal or hydrated occurs when water becomes tightly attracted to a metal salt base on it’s polarity. The water molecules maintain integrity as molecules‚ however they are considered to be part of the formula of the hydrate. When the hydrate metal salt crystal is heated‚ the attractions to the water are broken by the heat energy and the water escape from the crystal. After heating the salt crystal is called as anhydrous‚ which

Lab Report 3: Daphnia‚ Human and Crayfish Cardiac Activity Introduction An electrocardiogram‚ abbreviated as ECG in this report‚ is a visual representation of an organism’s atrial and ventricular depolarization and repolarization. Previous research has shown that although there is variability in the amplitude and shape of the waves of ECG‚ dependent on the subject’s health‚ it follows a universal pattern that can be used effectively for biometrics. The experiments discussed in this lab report were
