In this lab the rate of germination in relation to temperature was observed testing the hypothesis‚ if the seeds are exposed to cold temperatures then they will not germinate. In the standard germination test a total of one hundred corn seeds were divided into four groups of twenty-five and each group was used to make a ragdoll. The rag dolls were germinated in room temperature. In the cold test one hundred corn seeds were placed on four layers of moist paper towels in the bottom of a metal tray

put in salt water? Purpose: I want to know why the egg floats in fresh water and not salt water. I want to know if the egg will float in salt water‚ Also this shows why materials float easier in saltwater and sink in freshwater. Research: Since the egg’s density is higher than the density of freshwater the egg will sink. Density is mass per unit volume‚ which means a measure of how much mater is in a certain volume. If you add enough salt the egg will float again. The salt makes the water denser

learned about how salt affects the freezing point of water. In my science project I wanted to see if salt affected the freezing point of water. I started by doing some experiments. My first experiment was whether tap water or salt water would freeze first. I first started by mixing up the salt water warming it for one minute and warming the tap for one minute also. My second experiment was what ice cube would melt fastest. I started by getting two bowls. Two ice cubes‚ and salt. I began by sprinkling

The effect of salt concentrations on the mass of the pear cubes ‘Pyrus’ after being soaked in water Aim: The effect of salt concentrations on the mass of the pear ‘Pyrus’ pieces shaped as cubes of 1cm. Background: Osmosis is the net movement of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane from an area of higher water potential to an area of lower water potential. Water makes up to 70-90% of living cells and cell membranes are partially permeable membranes. Dissolved substances attract

Effect of light on Silver Halide Salts Aim: To investigate the effect of sunlight and UV light on silver salts and to identify an application of this reaction. Hypothesis: The compounds exposed to sunlight (which already contains UV light) will decompose. The compounds which are not exposed to light (put in a dark place) will not decompose. Theory: Equipment: * 4 x petri dishes * 1 x glass stirring rod * 0.1 mol/L silver nitrate in a dropper bottle * 0.1 mol/L Sodium chloride

Rationale of the study Almost everything these days is powered by electricity‚ and while this has certainly improved the quality of life‚ it has its downfalls as well. Some examples are: its effects on our Earth such as global warming‚ the rising bills caused by using too much electricity‚ and so much more. This is the reason why our group has decided to do a research on alternatives for energy source‚ specifically by means of saltwater or saline solution. We believe that this will help us decrease

Part A: Title: Diffusion Diffusion is the spontaneous movement of particles from where they are more concentrated to where they are less concentrated. For this experiment‚ a 14 cm glass was filled with cold tap water. A drop of red food coloring was dropped in the cup. A stopwatch was used to measure the time it took for the food coloring to get to the bottom of the cup. The average diffusion rate was .78 cm a second. If a different color was used‚ I do not think it would have made a difference

Seed Lab I. Purpose/Question: A. What is the variable you are testing? Radish seed vs. Pea seed B. Question 1: How does seed type affect when the seeds germinate? C. Question 2: How does seed type affect the length of the stem? II. Research: List two pieces of information you learned about the variable you are testing below. The radish stem was longer. Both seeds germinated equally fast. III. Hypothesis: Make these an “If-then” statement and do not use pronouns (I‚ we‚ he‚

Vascular or nonvascular? My plant is vascular because it has true roots‚ stems‚ and leaves. It has a system for transporting food and water. My plant has tube –like structures that provide support and circulate water and food throughout the plant. Monocot or Dicot? My plant is a dicot because it’s flowers have either four or five petals or multiples of these numbers. The leaves are wide with branching veins. The vascular tube structures are arranged in circular bundles. How the Dwarf Gardenia Survives

Water pollution is a serious matter‚ and can be defined as a problem. Poor water quality is just another way of saying water pollution. Water pollution is when one or more substances build up in water to such an extent‚ that several problems for animals and humans develop. Rivers‚ lakes‚ oceans‚ and other inland waters are able to naturally clean up certain amounts of the pollution by dispersing them harmlessly. Water pollution depends on the quantities: how much of the polluting substance is released
