Aim The aim of this experiment is to calculate the average human reaction time for a simple task. Hypothesis If the activity is repeated a number of times‚ then the reaction time will decrease‚ therefore the slower the reaction time‚ the further the ruler will fall. Variables - which variables are you going to: Change? (Independent Variable) The Independent Variable in this Investigation is the reaction time. Measure? (Dependent variable) The Dependent Variable in this Investigation is how

The affect of temperature on the rate of movement of woodlice Aim: The aim of this experiment is to establish whether a change in temperature affects the rate in which woodlouse move. I measured the rate by timing the woodlouse to move a set distance of 20cm‚ and altered the surrounding temperature by submerging a clear tube in water with different temperatures controlled by a water bath. Research: It is to be believed there over 3000 different species of woodlice‚ a total of 42 species

Hydrogen‚ interpreted from Greek as the water-creator (RSC site). Fundamentally it is by far the simplest element‚ yet it composes virtually all of the visible universe. Hydrogen is not merely omnipresent; in actuality‚ it is the oldest and arguably the most essential corporeality to the creation and sustainability of utterly all in existence. The aforementioned characteristic that hydrogen is immensely crucial to the survival of all lifeforms is supported by the fact that it is the building block

In this experiment‚ the class examined how the rate of photosynthesis was affected by different light colors at different distances in shoots of a Cabomba plant. The plants were placed in two different beakers‚ one with recently boiled and cooled distilled water and the other with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. The three different color photoflood lamps used for this experiment were white‚ red‚ and green at four distances of thirty‚ sixty‚ ninety‚ and one hundred-twenty centimeters away

RESEARCH QUESTION What is the effect of exercise on heart rate/ breathing rate? Justification Pulse is an ongoing wave of pressure in the arteries‚ caused by pumping of heart. Pulse can be measured on the wrist‚ neck‚ back of the knee or any other pulse point where arteries run close to the surface of the skin and compress on the bone. Pulse rates vary from person to person. Your pulse is lower when you rest and increases when you exercise. More oxygen rich blood is needed by the body when exercising

Enzymes are catalytic proteins that selectively speed up chemical reactions without by consumed by the reaction itself (1). Enzyme activity is significantly affected by factors such as temperature‚ substrate concentration‚ enzyme concentration and pH. Enzymes are highly specific and only catalyse one specific chemical reaction‚ speeding up the reaction by lowering the activation energy‚ the energy required to start a chemical reaction (2). At high temperatures and with various mechanical forces or

Abstract This experiment is to study the effect of temperature on the rate of reaction between potassium permanganate with oxalic acid. We used 2cm3 of 0.02M potassium permanganate and 4cm3 of 1M sulphuric acid into a test tube. In another test tube‚ we placed 2cm3 of oxalic acid. We placed the test tubes in a water bath at 40‚ 45‚ 50‚ 55 and 60oC respectively. When the solutions have attained these temperatures pour the oxalic acid into the acidified permanganate solution and recorded the time

The electron transfer reaction between hexacyanoferrate (III) and sodium borohydride resulted in the formation of hexacyanoferrate (II) ion and dihydrogen borate ion which was strongly catalyzed by AuNPs. The redox reaction is described as BH4- + 8 [Fe (CN)6]3- + 3H2O 8 [Fe(CN)6]4- + H2 BO3- + 8H+ The advantage of hexacyanoferrate ion for this redox study is that both oxidation states of iron (+2 and +3) are quite stable with respect to dissociation and hydrolysis
