An example of diffusion is red food coloring. When you put food coloring in a glass of water the color will spread through the water until all of it is a red tint. This shows the molecules of the food coloring equally distributed in the area of the water. Osmosis is a special type of diffusion where only the water molecules

Abstract This study investigated the effects of displaced objects and spatial reorganization on habituation of exploratory behavior. The subjects‚ rats‚ each individually spent 5 minutes in an open field for 6 trials. Throughout the study‚ exploratory behavior was measured in the number of contacts the subject made‚ the number of ambulations‚ and contact time (seconds). Trials 1-5 were mainly used to familiarize the subject with its surroundings‚ naturally leading to decreasing amounts of exploratory

Lab#: 15 Title: Exercise/pulse rate Aim: To investigate the effect of exercise on the pulse rate Materials/ Apparatus: Stop watch Diagram: Procedure: 1. The three middle fingers were placed just behind the bottom of the wrist as indicated in the diagram in order to see if the pulse could be felt. 2. (a) If the pulse was not felt the three fingers were moved about until it could be felt. (b) Changing the hand also helped to find the pulse. 3. The number of pulsation
