Bouncy Ball Experiment Aim: The aim of this experiment is to investigate the efficiency of a bouncing ball‚ and the factors which affect its efficiency. Prediction I predict that the higher I drop the ball from the higher it will rebound up‚ because it will have more gravitational potential energy the higher dropped from. As it is dropped the ball will have kinetic energy‚ and then when it hits the ground changes to heat and sound energy‚ and kinetic as it rebounds back up. The higher up

Microbial Growth of Consumable Products By Bryce Wilmott AIM: To calculate the quantity of observable microbial colonies on the surface of the Agar solid‚ as to determine the presence of microbes in consumable products i.e. yoghurt and blue vein cheese. HYPOTHESIS: Microbial growth will be present in two of the three Agar plates (those containing the food product) due to the suspected presence of microbes‚ whilst the control Agar plate (containing no food products)

Discussion: First of all‚ rinse all the apparatus that being used in the experiment with hydrochloric acid (HCL) then followed with distilled water (H₂O). Then‚ prepared the saturated calcium hydroxide (Ca (OH) ₂) solution into a filter funnel and filter paper over a second conical flask. Pour 100.00mL of saturated Ca (OH)₂ solution into a beaker and pour the solution through the filter paper by flowing the solution through a glass rod. After that‚ use a thermometer to measure the temperature of

Introduction: The purpose of the plant growth experiment was to test the affect of plant fertilizer during plant growth. The system we were working with allowed us to test the recommended amount and double the recommended amount of Miracle Grow in comparison to a control of an all natural growing plant. The plants we were testing were radishes We decided on testing the validity of Miracle Grow with radishes to determine if fertilizers are worth purchasing. Hypothesis: If the recommended amount

Change in Precipitation Ramon Pena BIO101 February 14‚ 2011 Dr. Richard Steiner Change in Precipitation Introduction This experiment will take course during a 300-year-time -period simulation. This experiment will consist of two islands‚ Darwin Island‚ Wallace Island and take only into account the bird population of these two islands. The parameter will stay the same‚ except for one variable; precipitation. I will record how the precipitation changes the beak size of the bird population

Many people drink sugary drinks every day‚ but really how bad is it for your teeth? This project shows the repercussions of drinking sugary soft drinks. This experiment tests eight adult teeth in eight different soft drinks for 48 hours. The results are equivalent to not brushing your teeth for two days or constantly sipping on a soft drink for more than an hour. If the sugar and acid particles are left on the teeth‚ then more acid is made by the sugar and the enamel starts to wear away. This can

Performance (page32) 1. In this experiment‚ what might be some extraneous variables affecting the students’ test performance? 2. What might educators do to try to prevent the effect of the “dumb jock” negative stereotype on college athletes? The experiment done by Jameson‚ Diehl‚ and Danso‚ attests that a negative stereotype‚ being referred to as a “dumb jock”‚ may have negative impacts on the test performance of athletes. There were two groups in their experiment. The experimental group was exposed

Abstract The experiment aims to observe if simpler substrates makes the rate of cellular respiration faster. Using yeast‚ smith fermentation tubes and different substrates namely‚ starch‚ lactose‚ sucrose‚ glucose and fructose‚ which are from different kinds of carbohydrates‚ ranging from the simplest sugars glucose and fructose to the polysaccharide starch and water as the control‚ the hypothesis was tested. With the span of thirty minutes with five-minute intervals‚ the height of carbon dioxide

When performing this experiment make sure all materials are present this includes: Blood Pressure Probe‚ a Sphygmomanometer‚ computer with Logger Pro software‚ Stethoscope‚ Logger Pro cables‚ and a timer if you so chose. Using the Blood Pressure Probes‚ Logger Pro cable‚ and the software you are ready to begin the experiment. Have a scary video pulled up from youtube that is within the time limit of 0-120 seconds. It would be wise to have the video around 60 seconds because that is the time frame

Environmental Variables and their effect on Horseradish Peroxidase Abstract There are several factors that can affect the rate of reaction of peroxidase such as temperature‚ pH‚ concentration of peroxidase present and whether or not it has been boiled. Our experimental data demonstrated that peroxidase activity peaked between 23 degrees Celsius and 32 degrees Celsius. We found the pH to be 7 for optimal activity. As far as the concentration is concerned our results showed that as the concentration
