It was in 1883 when Osborne Reynolds, a famous scientist and engineer tried to experiment on the relationship between the stability of fluid motion and the transition to turbulence. His final apparatus consisted of a glass-sided tank, 6 feet long, 18 inches deep and 18 inches wide. Inside it was a glass tube with `a trumpet mouth of varnished wood, great care being taken to make the surface of the wood continuous with that of the glass'. On the right-hand side, the tube was connected to an iron pipe equipped with a valve which could be controlled by means of a long lever. On the left-hand side is the device for introducing a streak of dye into the trumpet, while a float and dial indicated

Gardens snails’ response to environment change Lily Espinosa
Introduction:
The invertebrate that was chosen for the experiment was the Snail Gastropoda. Snails like moist and shady areas, to protect themselves from harmful weathers. Snails also like soil and fresh leaves because they have easy access to food and moist conditions. Snails don’t like pees and tomatoes and its unsafe for them to consume pasta. Salt and water also both kill snails, this is because snails drown in water easily and salt dehydrates the snail leaving it to die. Snails are hermaphrodite and nocturnal.

The purpose of Experiment 4 was to determine the effects of concentration on the amount of light transmitted through aqueous solutions.
The general procedure used in this experiment was to first prepare an undiluted sample of copper sulfate by obtaining two clean cuvettes. One of the cuvettes was used as a blank sample filled with deionized water which served as a solvent, and on the other cuvette, it was rinsed out with 0.5 mL of the copper sulfate solution and filled up with about 80% of the same solution. The second cuvette served as our undiluted solution. Next, 3 diluted solutions of copper sulfate are prepared. The first diluted solution was equal to 50% of the stock copper

The opening of the concave shape for 60% - 70% centrality is narrower than the others (magnitude of a1 is the largest among these); this indicates the CME-driven charge separation signal is the strongest. The decreasing width of the opening with increasing centrality is an expected result since in the Au+Au collision; a higher centrality means that the spectator particles are larger (?

Mass conservation
AIM
The aim of this experiment is to show that mass is conserved during a chemical reaction.
The Law of Conservation of Mass, established in 1789 by French Chemist Antoine Lavoisier, states that mass is neither created nor destroyed in any ordinary chemical reaction. Or more simply, the mass of products by a chemical reaction is always equal to the mass of the reactants. (E, Durnford
1999)
The reaction between potassium iodide and lead (II) nitrate under room temperature and atmospheric pressure results with a yellow precipitate. This reaction can be expressed by the equation: 2KI(aq) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) PbI2(s) + 2KNO3(aq)

With the inlet and outlet temperatures, there seemed to be a negative correlation between the two. This was due to the exchanger bringing the hot and cold water to equilibrium. The LEGO NXT program recorded temperature every five seconds and would make its adjustments to the valve at twenty degree rotations. The program opened and closed the cold water valve to regulate the temperature between a five degree range. As the experiment went on, the two outlet temperatures became closer to the same temperature. The inlet temperature decreased while the outlet temperature increased bringing the

The point of pulling the bob away from the equilibrium point and releasing it from different lengths was to determine whether the amplitude had any effect on the period because it makes sense to believe that something far away from its equilibrium would take longer to get back; however, the further the bob was from equilibrium the more potential energy it gained, making up for the distance away from the starting point. According to the graph Amplitude vs. Period, there was no significant relationship

Enzymes are impacted by temperature and pH of their environment, because these factors can denature an enzyme.

How does heat flow in one dimension? This particular apparatus investigated the transient and steady-state temperatures along an alloy rod. In the experiment, a rod was heated at one end over the time span of an hour. Progressively, the temperature down the length of the rod increased, this was monitored by thermocouples. The apparatus’ alloy rod consisted of several embedded thermocouples which read the temperatures at 5 cm increments along the rod length. At the very beginning of the experiment, the temperature of the rod is uniform and at room

the organism is to the particular antibiotic. An antibiotic with a large zone of inhibited growth may be less active than an antibiotic with a smaller zone (Murray, 1983). The hypothesis is not supported in the data because the aritficial sugar, aspartame, resulted in higher diameters of zone of inhibition compared to the natural sugars, such as cane sugar and honey. The higher zones of inhibition found in the artificial sugars is interpreted as more active in the microbiome compared to natural sugars.
The most challenging part of designing an experiment is trying to control or account for all possible factors, except the independent variable, which in this experiment is the type of sugar
