A Critique Of The Stanford Experiment
Number of words: 592 - Number of pages: 3.... uniforms and
then they were thrown into the slammer (in this case a simulated cellblock
in the basement was used). All of the participants in this experiment at
first were thought to be similar in behavior but after one week, all of
that changed. The prisoners became "passive, dependent, and helpless."
The guards on the other hand were the exact opposite. They became
"aggressive and abusive within the prison, insulting and bullying the
prisoners."
After the experiment was finished, many of the mock guards said
that they enjoyed the power. Others said that they had no idea that they
wer .....

Solar Oven
Number of words: 131 - Number of pages: 1.... charcoal cubes and shavings will absorb the heat in the
box and store the excess heat allowing the flow to continuously warm the oven.
The tin foil will reflect heat and subsequently heat up the oven. The
polyurethane material will trap the heat inside the oven. The mirrors will help
the heat stay inside the box.
Materials used:
Shoe Box
Tin Foil
Sheets of Glass
Charcoal Cubes and Shavings
Scissors
Glue
Knives
Polyurethane
Non-Glossy, Black Spay Paint
Four (4) Wood Pegs
Mirrors
Sealer .....

Bio-report
Number of words: 541 - Number of pages: 2.... the cell releases ATP to the pump proteins which results in the cell ejecting the sodium ion and at the same time another receptor cell accepts a potassium which is then released into the cell and the process is repeated until the cell is finished.
c.Facilitated Transport
In facilitated transport a molecule that cannot normally pass through into a cell use a carrier protein to gain access and exit. Basically this allows a cell to acquire molecules that cannot get through it¹s selectively permeable membrane. For example a plant cell requires glucose and the glucose will not fit .....

Calories
Number of words: 439 - Number of pages: 2.... the conclusion that heat was the product of work, not the invisible fluid caloric.
Joseph Black, yet another scientist of the seventeen hundreds, discovered that it took different substances varying amounts of heat to raise one gram of a substance one degree Celsius. He called this specific heat. Mr. Black also noticed that when mercury at fifty degrees is mixed with equal amounts of water at zero degrees the resulting mixture would be only one degree. From this, he concluded that heat and temperature were not the same. In order to give the scientific world a standard of measure Mr. Bla .....

Acid Rain
Number of words: 365 - Number of pages: 2.... types of soil and rocks in two ways.
1) Acid rain will dissolve alkaline rocks and soil, or will neutralize the alkalinity.
2) Acid rain will increase the acidicy of already acidic rocks and soil, such as granite, or the soil which results from corroded granite.
Acidic chemicals, and alkaline chemicals react to each other by reducing the alkalinity or acidicy of each other. Which ever has the strongest pH level, usually will neutralize or reduce the pH of the other, but after the reaction is complete, both substances have undoubtably changed, their pH moved closer to neutral ( pH 7 .....

Determining The Ratio Of Circumference To Diameter Of A Circle
Number of words: 501 - Number of pages: 2.... from the accepted ratio.
After I had the error I could go on to find the percentage error. The equation I
used was, error divided by the accepted ratio times 100. For example, if I took
the error of the experimental ratio for the paper towels, which was 0.12. I took
that and divided it by the accepted ratio giving me .03821651. Then I multiplied
that by 100 giving me about 3.14. Using these steps I found the percentage error
for all of the objects measured.
The next step was to graph the results. I was able to do this very
easily with spreadsheet. I typed in all of my data and the compu .....

Greenhouse Effects Speech
Number of words: 534 - Number of pages: 2.... – 6.3°F by the year 2100, which could wreak havoc with climates around the world.
Why are greenhouse gas concentrations increasing? Scientists generally believe that the combustion of fossil fuels and other human activities are the primary reason for the increased concentration of carbon dioxide. Energy burned to run cars and trucks, heat homes and businesses, and power factories is responsible for about 80% of society's carbon dioxide emissions, about 25% of U.S. methane emissions, and about 20% of global nitrous oxide emissions. Increased agriculture, deforestation, landfills, indus .....

Effects Of Acid Rain On Water
Number of words: 387 - Number of pages: 2.... can tolerate the same amount of acid:
Generally, the young of most species are more sensitive than adults. Frogs may tolerate relatively high levels of acidity, but if they eat insects like the mayfly, they may be affected because part of their food supply may disappear. As lakes and streams become more acidic, the numbers and types of fish and other aquatic plants and animals that live in these waters decrease. Some types of plants and animals are able to tolerate acidic waters. Others, however, are acid-sensitive and will be lost as the pH declines. Some acid lakes have no fish. At pH .....

In more advanced stages, however, shortness of breath or difficulty in breathing and swallowing ensue, until the body is completely taken over by the disease. Intellect, eye motion, bladder function, and sensation are the only abilities spared.
Where and how this deadly disease originated is unknown, but it was first identified in 1869, by the noted French neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot. is not contagious, but research is still vague on the cause of the disease. Today, th .....

Bright caps, apparntly made of frost or ice, mark the planet's polar regions . their seasonal cycle has been followed for almost two centuries .Each Martian autumn, bright clouds form over correct pole.Bellow what is called polar hood , a thin cap of carbon dioxide frost is let during autumn and winter.By late winter, the cap may streach down to latitudes of 45 .....
