Bullfrogs Hearing Capacity
Number of words: 988 - Number of pages: 4.... lab made habitat, which would be similar to the one that they were removed from. Hopefully, the frogs will adapted to the new habitat and carry on as they did in their old habitat. Tampered bullfrogs such as those raised in labs or pets would not be used because the results would be inaccurate. The inaccuracy would be that these "tampered frogs" have been out of the wild for so long that they would not have the same range of frequency as those in the wild. I would first like to do this experiment on the male bullfrogs because of their deeper croaks, observ .....

Ozone
Number of words: 841 - Number of pages: 4.... through the chemical reaction of volatile organic
compounds and nitrogen dioxide, in the atmosphere, in the presence of sunlight.
This reaction is called a photochemical reaction, because sunlight is required.
The product is known as smog. The notorious brownish color of smog is due to
nitrogen dioxide of the mixture. Increased temperature stimulate the reaction,
which is why ozone conditions are worse in the summer. It is an oxidant,
meaning it takes electrons away from other molecules, and disrupts key
structures in cells by starting chain reactions.
O .....

Awakenings And Tourette
Number of words: 991 - Number of pages: 4.... Doctors who worked on the earlier cases believed the patients mental faculties to have been destroyed by the illness.
Dr. Sayer (Dr. Oliver Sacks in real life) discovers that certain vegetative patients reacted to outside stimuli, such as a pattern on a floor, a tossed ball, or a television with a maladjusted vertical hold. Finally, Dr. Sayer comes across Leonard as a middle-aged man, some thirty years after he was originally afflicted with the disease. After doing some tests, the doctor comes to realize that there is brain activity and convinces his colleagu .....

The Origin Of Humanity
Number of words: 370 - Number of pages: 2.... have been collected and scientifically tested using a method called carbon dating to determine the age of the fossils. Which can then be examined and placed along a timeline. The time periods show slight differences in bone structure showing what is hypothesized to be the human evolving. Evolving from what though? The theory of evolution states that creatures change overtime to suit their surroundings. This is called environmental adaptation. The more a creature can adapt to it's environment the greater chance it has of living and show an increase in population .....

Global Warming
Number of words: 2223 - Number of pages: 9.... The overwhelming majority of scientific experts believe human-induced climate change is inevitable. The question is not whether climate will change in response to human activities, but rather where (regional pattern), when (the rate of change) and by how much (magnitude). (17,18).
Alarming information and trends are leading the scientific community in this same belief. The concept of is predicting detrimental events for the future.
The most prevalent issue of is the increase in overall world temperature. In the thirty year time period of 1951-1980, a 0.4 .....

Arizona Concrete
Number of words: 1308 - Number of pages: 5.... pulverizing clinker consisting
essentially of hydraulic calcium silicates along with some calcium aluminates
and calcium aluminoferrites and usually containing one or more forms of calcium
sulfate (gypsum) as an interground addition. Materials used in the manufacture
of portland cement must contain appropriate proportions of calcium oxide, silica,
alumina, and iron oxide components. During manufacture, analyses of all
materials are made frequently to ensure a uniformly high quality cement.
Selected raw materials are crushed, milled, and proportioned in su .....

Genome Project
Number of words: 1466 - Number of pages: 6.... stem cuttings. Cloning involving very complex laboratory techniques is a relatively recent scientific advancement in today’s world. Among these is the , which involves the research and support of Physical Mapping and DNA Sequencing. This would enable Humans to reproduce babies that what most parents want. Completing this DNA sequencing and Physical mapping would enable us to change everything in a new born baby to the likes of the parents e.g. IQ, Color, Strength, looks, gender, etc.
The Human (HGP) is a research program for analyzing the structure of .....

Acid Rain
Number of words: 795 - Number of pages: 3.... years, or even decades.
The changes are usually to gradual for them to be noticed early.
At the beginning of the 20th century most rivers and lakes like the
river Tovdal in Norway had not yet begun to die. However by 1976 local
inspectors were noticing that many of the lakes were beginning to show
signs of death. Fish were found dead along the banks of many rivers. As the
winters ice began to melt off more and more hundreds upon hundreds more
dead fish were being found. As scientists continued to work they found many
piles of dead fish, up to 5000 in one pile .....
