Life Of Octopus Dofleini
Number of words: 1449 - Number of pages: 6.... spermatophore up to 1m long.
Female octopus seem to prefer larger males as mates and male octopus may
mate with more than one female in their life span, however the male octopus only
lives a few months after breeding, and the female will die shortly after the
eggs hatch.
Incubation can take from 150 days to seven or more months. The female
may produce any where from 20,000 to 100,000 eggs over a period of several days.
During incubation the female octopus will take to cleaning and aerating the eggs.
This takes place at a depth of less than 50 meters

PyroTechnics
Number of words: 484 - Number of pages: 2.... Examples are black powder and pellet powder, safety fuses, igniters, igniter cord, fuse lighters, Class B special fireworks, and Class B composite solids propellants. Class C explosives are common fireworks. Note that short lengths of Primacord may be classified as Class C under certain conditions. Both Class B and C explosives are also called low explosives.
All pyrotechnic materials and other explosives consist of an oxidizer (source of oxygen) and a reducer (fuel). Examples of oxidizers include potassium nitrate, strontium nitrate, potassium perchlorate and potassium chlorate. .....

Gold
Number of words: 914 - Number of pages: 4.... through both placer and vein(lode)
mining and by the time of the early cultures from which modern civilization
is descended the search for gold was wide spread"(Green 1968).
Gold is mainly extracted through mining. It is mainly found in
tiny flakes or sands but sometimes is found in nuggets. The largest nugget
ever found weighed eight kilograms. "Gold deposits are usually classified
as lode, placer, massive or disseminated types" (Colliers Encyclopedia).
"Lode deposits are mostly associated with acidic ingenous intrusives in
rocks of the Precambrian to late Tertiary periods"(Green 1 .....

Endangered Species

The animal is slaughtered for its horn while its carcass is left for the vultures.
Since the Black Rhino was put on the list in the 1980s, conservation agencies have aided to help the Black Rhino to rebound. “Now under strict control, the population of Black Rhinos has risen to at leas .....

Hydroponics
Number of words: 1002 - Number of pages: 4.... oil rigs, or any
where else where dirt is hard to come by.
During this experiment we'll be looking for which plant life well do
best with hydroponics, by measuring which plant has grown the highest or
bushiest. We also well be looking for green and healthy looking leaves on the
plants. We have no idea what the results might be, so this should be an exciting
experiment.
Problem
Which form of plant life will thrive the most in a hydroponics
enrichment. Will it be Tomatoes our fruit, Peas our vegetable, Tinkerbell
flowers, or Beans a legume?
First we selected a suitable PVC pipe and cut i .....

How Does Light Affect The Rate Of Photosynthesis?
Number of words: 1845 - Number of pages: 7.... use the safeguards so it wasn’t fair experiment. We did this because it gave us the idea what problems we might face when we did the main experiment and gave us the idea how to do it.
The pondweed should create photosynthesis by the following equation: -
6CO2 + 6H2O 6C6H12O6+ 6O2
Photosynthesis occurs when plants take in Carbon Dioxide from the surrounding air in its leaves and water from the nearby soil in its roots. The leaves then take light energy from the Sun, which is absorbed in the chlorophyll in the cells and passes it along for it to be used in photosynthesis. Glu .....

Photosysthesis Experiment
Number of words: 945 - Number of pages: 4.... part of our experiment we wanted to observe how using paper chromatography separates pigments. Paper chromatography works since the pigments in plants have different polarities, weights, and sizes. Although, it was hard to make a clear hypothesis as to how the pigments would travel due to my lack of knowledge of such pigments, I believed that the different pigments would indeed be divided. Furthermore that the lightest and most polar pigments would travel the most while the most non-polar and heaviest would be left in the bottom of the paper.
The second experiment in our lab consisted o .....

Acid Rain
Number of words: 1942 - Number of pages: 8.... to the planet. The problem was that by the
time that the scientist found the problem it was already very large.
Detecting an acid lake is often quite difficult. A lake does not become
acid over night. It happens over a period of many years, some times decades.
The changes are usually to gradual for them to be noticed early.
At the beginning of the 20th century most rivers/lakes like the river
Tovdal in Norway had not yet begun to die. However by 1926 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 .....

Acid Rain

preservation of certain wildlife.
NO DEFENCE
Areas in Ontario mainly southern regions that are near the Great Lakes, such
substances as limestone or other known antacids can neutralize acids entering
the body of water thereby protecting it. However, large areas of Ontario that
are near the Pre-Cambrian Shield, with quartzite or granite based geology and
little top soil, there is not enough buffering capacity to neutralize even small
amounts of acid falling on the soil and the lakes. Therefore over time, the
basic environment shifts from an alkaline to a acidic o .....
