Indicactor Lab
Number of words: 430 - Number of pages: 2.... a hot pink color very quickly, and the pH value was about 11.5. The substance was clear and had a strong odor to it. These results led me to my conclusion that substance C is ammonia.
Test-tube D: Test-tube D contained lemonade. The substance reacted to blue litmus paper, and red litmus underwent no changes. It had no effect on Phenolphthalein, and its pH value was 3, a strong acid. Knowing that lemons are very acidic, and that the substance was yellow and sweet smelling, I concluded that substance D was lemonade.
Test-tube E: I could not come to a concl .....

Becoming An Ecologist Is An Exciting Venture
Number of words: 1338 - Number of pages: 5.... are ecologists' concerns. . . . .The balance of nature, wherever it
occurs, is what you will investigate and analyze"(17).
Since a career as an ecologist is usually long term, there are certain
characteristics a person should have in order to maintain a successful career.
One of these characteristics that is the most important is patience. Patience
is important because as an ecologist a person will have to at some point in
their career talk to another person who knows nothing of or about ecology.
Another reason why patience is important is because thr .....

Environmental Issues Associated With Vehicle Use
Number of words: 1423 - Number of pages: 6.... growth and growth abnormalities and drowsiness. Increasing levels of air pollution, particularly particulates from vehicles, are linked to increasing respiratory problems including asthma and this air pollution is thought to cause up to several thousand deaths and up to 20,000 hospital admissions every year.
Acid rain is another serious problem, helped along with the increased usage of motor cars. The increased acidity of the precipitation is down to contamination by carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, all of which the car is largely respons .....

Bipolar Disorder 4
Number of words: 931 - Number of pages: 4.... depression. An affected person’s mood can swing from excessive highs (mania) to deep hopelessness (depression), usually with periods of normal mood in between. Some individuals may display mixed symptoms of both mania and depression at the same time, while others may have fewer symptoms of mania (also referred to as hypomania). The type severity, and duration of mood episodes may vary. Some individuals may experience excessive mania, or excessive depression, and some may experience an equal amount of both. The mood episodes can last for a few days to as long .....

Could Gambling Save Science: Encouraging An Honest Consensus
Number of words: 16316 - Number of pages: 60.... the idea still seems
plausible and worth further study.
INTRODUCTION
After reviewing the discrepancy between what we want from academic
institutions and what we get from current institutions, a market-based
alternative called "idea futures" is suggested. It is described through
both a set of specific scenarios and a set of detailed procedures. Over
thirty possible problems and objections are examined in detail. Finally, a
development strategy is outlined and the possible advantages are summarized.
THE PROBLEM
THE SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION Four .....

Carbohydrates
Number of words: 383 - Number of pages: 2.... glucose is the common transport sugar for vertebrates, sugars are often transported in other organisms as disaccharides. Sucrose, commonly called cane sugar, is the form in which sugar is transported in plants from the photosynthetic cells to other parts of the plant body. Sucrose is composed of the monosaccharides glucose and fructose. In the synthesis of a disaccharide molecule from two monosaccharides, a molecule of water is removed in the process of forming the new bond between the two monosaccharides. This type of chemical reaction, which occurs in .....

Buoyant Forces
Number of words: 281 - Number of pages: 2.... next step was to measure the apparent weight of the cylinder when
it is completely submerged in a bath of water using the formula Wa=ma*g , this
was found to be 88.5grams. Knowing these two numbers, the bouyant force that
the water places on the object can be calculated using the formula Fb=W-Wa ,
Wa=.8673n W=.98n Fb=.1127n
Part 2 of this lab consisted of weighing an empty cup, which was 44grams.
And then filling another cup up to a certain point the if any more water was
added, it would spill out of a little opening in the cup, the water spilled out
could be caught in the first cup. This is done so t .....

The Prairie
Number of words: 159 - Number of pages: 1.... grass which
withstands grazing animals and occasional fires.
Producer: An autotroph organism (grass). Consumer: Organism that eats producers
(caterpillars, bison). Primary consumer: Organisms that eat consumers (chicken,
meadowlark). Secondary consumers: Organisms that eatprimary consumers (praire
felcon, eagle). Decomposers: Organisms that uses nutrients from dead plants and
animals, it starts the chain over (bacteria).
Say that an organism was removed from the web, such as a caterpillar.
Though it's not the only grass eating organism it would still mess up the web.
Say you put the bison in its place, t .....
