of Alcohol vs. Caffeine on Water Flea ’s Heart Rate. Title Page Abstract For our most recent experiment we tested the effects of immersing water fleas in caffeine and alcohol to see the effects on their heart rate. Before the experiment we hypothesized that if you place the water fleas in alcohol then their heart rate will slow down‚ and if you place them in caffeine then their heart rate will raise. For this experiment we needed water fleas‚ tap water‚ two pipettes‚ a microscope

drinking water samples from different places using four of the standard drinking water tests required by the EPA. The experiment will be performed by a four person group‚ with each person providing a different water sample. The four tests to be performed are: pH‚ conductivity‚ phenolphthalein and total alkalinity‚ and total and non-carbonate hardness. Data from these four tests will be gathered and analyzed‚ drawing conclusions “about the validity of the data as well as the quality of water” (Kippenhan

Many of us have been to water parks/ theme parks and probably never thought about how much water is being used. I especially have been intrigued with the fact that San Antonio has a Seaworld‚ because the other cities that have one are San Diego and Orlando. San Diego and Orlando both are by many beaches and land of water compared to San Antonio. So to me I felt that San Antonio having a Seaworld would have a major impact on our city water supply. How much water does Seaworld consume and or

Title Impact of water jet Objective The purpose of this experiment is to demonstrate the application of the momentum equation. The force generated by a jet of water deflected by an impact surface is measured and compared to the momentum change of the jet. To relate: • Direct measurement of impact forces • Effect of flow rate and velocity • Effect of various deflection angles Introduction / Theory Newton’s Second law states that The applied forces is equal

What my project is about: I will be comparing results from water testing I did at two different water bodies to prove that the catchment area has an influence over the water quality in the different water bodies. The first water body I tested was the small dam in the bokkie park situated in between residential areas and in the middle of a piece of land solely used for animals. The second water body I tested was the small dam across the road from the Trinity Church in Boksburg on Rondebult Road‚ which
