Tori Suchy Physical Science Honors 1st block October 4‚ 2012 Balloon Powered Car Problem: In order to create a race car that can travel a minimum of eight meters powered by a nine inch balloon. We need incorporate Newton ’s Law of Motion including speed‚ velocity‚ and acceleration. Hypothesis: If a car were to be made out of homemade materials‚ then it would be possible for it to travel 8 meters powered by a nine inch balloon. Independent Variable: building the car from homemade materials

Meal Worm Cellular Respiration Experiment Introduction Cellular respiration provides energy to all living organisms by collecting energy from food molecules. The cell then rearranges complex molecules to simpler molecules and uses that energy to make a molecule that stores energy called adenosine triphosphate also known as ATP. Cellular respiration can occur with or without oxygen. When it occurs without oxygen‚ it is called anaerobic respiration. There are very few organisms that can get

Pixar Facts 1.) In order to give Dash a realistic out-of-breath voice in "The Incredibles‚" director Brad Bird made actor Spencer Fox run laps around the studio.4 2.) Every Friday during the production of “Brave‚” each Pixar employee was told to wear a kilt for the fun of it. 3.) Shortly after completing Toy Story‚ the Pixar chief creative staff of John Lasseter‚ Peter Docter‚ Joe Ranft and Andrew Stanton got together for a lunch meeting at the Hidden City Café in 1994 that would become one of

Potato Osmosis Biology SL - ATh INVESTIGATION “Potato Osmosis” INTRODUCTION Osmosis is a process that occurs at a cellular level that entails the spontaneous net movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane from a region of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration in order to equalize the level of water in each region. Involved in this process are hypotonic‚ hypertonic and isotonic solutions. A hypotonic solution is one with a lower osmotic pressure‚ indicating

Chapter 12 (Part 2) Explain the principle of independent assortment and its relation to meiosis: The segregation of chromosomes in anaphase I of meiosis explains Mendel’s observation that each parent gives one allele for each trait at random to each offspring‚ regardless of whether the allele is expressed. The segregation of chromosomes at random during anaphase I explains Mendel’s observation that factors‚ or genes‚ for different traits are inherited independently of each other. Apply the

all calculations‚ below is what we concluded. The molarity you had to be careful with because it was moles/liters and our readings were in milliliters so we had to convert first. In conclusion‚ even though the lab procedure is not about moles‚ most of the calculations are and this is one lab where the concept of

Abstract In this lab we separated components of a simulated preparation‚ panacetin and making use of its acid base properties. To obtain such a pure compound‚ the compound we want must be separated from its other natural components‚ which can be done by manipulating physical and chemical properties. Panacetin contains sucrose‚ aspirin and an unknown which can be acetanilide or phenacetin in which phenacetin was created and weighed. Introduction In this lab our basic goal was to make the

Agar What is it and where is it from? Derived from the cell walls of red algae‚ agar is a gelatinous substance extracted through a process of boiling and filtration. Agar is specifically used in laboratories for diagnostics and experimental purposes. Agars main purpose is to act as a growth medium for micro-organisms such as bacteria and fungi. The micro-organisms feed off the nutrients contained in Agar and can be both cultured and observed within it by scientists and the use of a microscope. Using

ACYL COMPOUNDS: SOAPS AND DETERGENTS Experiment # 8 I. Objectives To observe the general properties of carboxylic acids. To compare the acidity of carboxylic acids and phenols. To verify experimentally the interconversion among acyl compounds. To become familiar with the physical and chemical properties of fats and oils and to understand the chemical basis of these properties. To learn how to prepare soap. To compare the properties of soap and synthetic detergents. II. Data and

Temperature‚ 32oC‚ 48oC and boiling; then‚ at pH 3‚ pH 5‚ pH 7 and pH 9; and‚ finally‚ with the competitive inhibitor‚ hydroxylamine. We were able to measure enzymatic activity by the change in absorbance per second with a spectrophotometer. By testing different concentrations of peroxidase and its reaction rate in seconds‚ we were able to see that as the amount of enzyme increased the catalytic reaction also increased. The optimal amount of peroxidase concentration to be used in the subsequent
