investigate if stress affects body temperature. PURPOSE: Stress refreshes the hormones that affect the body in different ways. In this experiment‚ it will evaluate whether body temperature changes can be detected when people are placed in stressful situations. HYPOTHESIS: I think that when you are stressed‚ the body temperature will be affected because the more you are stressed out‚ the higher your blood pressure gets and then your blood heats up and the temperature changes. MATERIALS: Basal thermometer

from a cold temperature to room temperature; however‚ the rate of photosynthesis decreased in the body temperature. This means that the hypothesis was rejected. The rate of photosynthesis did increase‚ but only to a certain point. Based on these results‚ it can be concluded that photosynthesis performs better at room temperature that at cold temperature because thee low temperature slows down the reactions taking place in the chloroplasts. Photosynthesis performs better at room temperature than at body

thermometer is a device or instrument used for measuring temperature. There are many different types of thermometers; however each one is based on a physical property of a thermometric (temperature measuring) substance that differs in a measurable way with temperature. Some of the physical properties that vary with temperature are volume‚ resistance and color. A physical property that increases or decreases with temperature can be used to measure temperature. This is called a thermometric property. Liquid-In-Glass

able to detect differences in temperature. Thermoreceptors are able to detect heat and cold‚ and are found throughout the skin in order to allow sensory reception throughout the body. The body’s core temperature is a constant 37° C by physiological adjustments controlled by the hypothalamus where there are neurons sensitive to changes in skin and blood temperatures. The temperature-regulating centres are found in the Preoptic Area. This area receives input from temperature receptors in the skin and mucous

DEFINITION OF HEAT TRANSFER | Heat transfer is energy in transit due to temperature difference . Whenever there exists a temperature difference in a medium or between media‚ heat transfer must occur. The basic requirement for heat transfer is the presence of temperature difference . There can be no net heat transfer between two mediums that are at the same temperature. The temperature difference is the driving force for heat transfer‚ just as the voltage difference is the driving force for electric

Clausthal‚ SS 2005 1.1 A heat rate of 5 kW is conducted through a cross section area of 20 m2 and thickness of 3 cm. If the inner (hot) surface temperature is 600ºC and the thermal conductivity of the material is 0.5 W/mK‚ what is the outer surface temperature? Solution: Tout = 585 °C 1.2 The heat flux through a wood slab 50 mm thick‚ whose inner and outer temperatures are 40°C and 20ºC‚ respectively‚ has been determined to be 40 W/m2. What is the thermal conductivity of the wood? Solution: k = 0.1 W/mK

Bread Mold Experiment By: Stephanie Westover PURPOSE The purpose of this experiment will be to determine how temperature affects the growth of mold on wheat bread. The researchers choose this topic because she thinks it will be beneficial to find a way to keep food from molding. Determining how long bread can be stored before molding can help save money‚ prevent illness and preserve freshness. The question the researcher will attempt to answer is how freezing
