Solving The Elodea Experiment

Decent Essays
Why did you perform this experiment?
The experiment was performed because people were seeing how many bubbles come up when the light is at different distances. The light is supposed to represent the sun and the plant we used was the Elodea.
What are you trying to solve?
We were trying to solve a problem to see how well photosynthesis worked when the light was at different distances so in real life
Has this experiment been done before and by whom?
This experiment has been done before with a change of one of the Independent variables. Due to restraints, we were only given 30 grams of baking soda instead of 50.
What did the previous experimenters find when they did their experiment(s)?
The other groups that did this experiment had a higher

    We conducted the experiment one more after analyzing our whole procedure twice; this time she tilted the tube at a 45 degree angle. Ssssshh shck shck block bop bop bop bop, the firework was a shade of purple you would see only at dawn or dusk: the light within it illuminating and mystic. The girl was ecstatic; she was able to analyze the experiment and change the apparatus so that results could be yield correctly. I helped conduct this experiment at the summer camp sponsored by the University of Oklahoma Future Health Scientists Partnership Program. I have been apart of Future Health Scientists since I was ten.…

    Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is killing off honey bees due to being fed affected High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) with the deadly contaminant. The experiment should be Bruce and his father testing the HFCS in different temperatures and different areas, to see how the HMF forms. For Bruce and his father’s hypothesis: At different areas and temperatures, the HFCS develops the contaminant, HMF. The independent variable of this experiment is the HMF and the dependent variable is HFCS because the HFCS is changed due to the HMF infecting it. Standardized variables are the temperature of the HFCS, the amount of HFCS, and the amount time that the HFCS is in the temperature.…

    1. This observation occurred between the occupational therapist (OT) and a 4-year-old girl named Ella. Ella does not have a definite diagnosis, but does have developmental delays and low muscle tone all over her body. The occupational therapist brought in big Lego blocks and allowed Ella to free-play with them while the OT gathered other materials. The OT sat down at the table with Ella and from the bag of Legos she pulled out 2 yellow blocks with six pegs, 2 green with 2 pegs, 2 blue with 2 pegs and 2 red with 2 pegs out and put them on the table.…

    Pill Bugs: An experiment Introduction Pill bugs are very small and can be found anywhere. Under rocks, in between cracks, in your science class; they are everywhere! However, it is common knowledge that pill bugs do not like to be in open spaces. There are just too many dangerous possibilities, and they don’t need to take the risks. In this experiment, we tested to see if light affected the decisions of where pill bugs like to stay.…

    It was not exact to the results given, therefore I marked it incorrect. My hypothesis was that after a bigger amount of time under the light, the plant will give out more glucose and O2. This part was correct, but not because “if the light is closer, the process will be faster”. It was only due to time, not distance. It is true that if we left the lamp in a position of 5cm distance, same result could have been given faster.…

    Rheanna iskierka hour 2 Cheesey plan My problem: if I change the fat percentage in mozzarella cheese then the browning outcome will be different. Why I’m interested: i am interested in this because I like eating cheese that is not burnt so if we find the right cheese that browns to a great crisp. And secondly because if we know a good fat percentage that does not burn in the oven and stays crispy and tasty without the charcoal we could use that so we can use that for an enjoying meal without burntness and fat is a really healthy thing to eat on a daily basis. This is important to anyone who wants to save money and have better health.…

    Research this chemical and state why you believe it was added to the tubes in both of these experiments. I believe it was added because it is an indicator that can change color in the presence of carbon dioxide and acts as an indicator of photosynthesis. Examine the three graphs below. Which do you think most accurately represents the results you would see if you were to increase light when performing Part A of the experiment? Why?…

    Introduction Photosynthesis is the process in which light energy is converted into chemical energy in plants and other organisms (Reece, 2011). Photosynthesis is a redox reaction where carbon dioxide is reduced to sugar (glucose) and water is oxidized to oxygen (Reece, 2011). The reaction that occurs during photosynthesis is shown through the empirical equation CO2 + H2O → (CH2O)N + O2 (Stegenga, 2015). Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells, specifically within the thylakoid and the stroma (Stegenga, 2015).…

    Discussion: The hypothesis stated that as the amount of baking soda increases, the total time of its reaction with vinegar will be increased as well. However, that was not the case during the actual experiment. As discussed previously, the results followed a small pattern but not for the whole experiment. The results can be confirmed that are very reliable, since repeated trials were done, sometimes more than three.…

    PURPOSE/QUESTION The question that we will answer using this laboratory report is, “How is the rate of dissolving sugar affected by changing the temperature of the water, changing the rate of stirring, and changing the size of the crystal?” The independent variable of each laboratory experiment is different, however they are all being changed to get consistent and effective results for one dependent variable. The three independent variables are the temperature of water, rate of stirring and size of the crystal and the dependent variable of the all the experiments is the rate of sugar dissolving. HYPOTHESES Below are the laboratory experiment hypotheses that we have formed as a group to figure out what will happen to the rate of dissolving under…
