This experiment will explain what the Rockwell hardening test is and why it is used‚ how the experiment was conducted‚ data that was found‚ and the importance of testing the hardness of materials. This experiment explains and proves how the hardness of materials can be increased by alloying and heat treating. Intro – Rockwell Hardness Testing Soft and hard qualities exist in materials. In materials‚ hardness measures the ability of a material to resist scratching‚ indentation‚ or penetration. Hardness

hypothesis testing. The textbook explained the aspects and steps of hypothesis testing in a legible fashion‚ while the video helped demonstrate a real-life application.

Each year more than 1 million animals are killed in U.S. laboratories. Animal testing is something that happens all over the world and are used in the “name of science” by private institutions‚ cosmetic companies‚ government agencies‚ and scientific centers.

Millions of “could have been pets” are being tortured and killed in labs right now because Animal testing is legal. Where do the animals come from that they do these terrible things?
