Question: How do different surface areas affect bacterial growth? Hypothesis: I think that the bacterial growth will be different in terms of size, shape, type and color. I think that different bacterias will grow on each quadrant because each surface of collection has unique bacterias. The unique bacterias will contribute to the fact that the size and color of them will also be different. I also predict that the growth of bacteria on the toilet seat (1D) will have the most colonies because it…

I began to make my way out of the ski lodge. My family and I had just finished eating lunch in the ski lodge and I was getting ready to hit the last few slopes before I called it a day. It had been many years since I had last spent time in Colorado, my old home. I was ecstatic I had the opportunity to visit during the winter so I could once again experience one of my favorite activities of skiing. Shortly after attending my family reunion, my family made their way up to Monarch Mountain to spend…

flies away. When the helicopter leaves, there is nothing but complete silence. Then, the camera switches to a Point of View angle. This makes it so you are actually seeing what the recon team was seeing. You are looking through the night vision goggles, into the woods, looking for anything at all that might move. The silence, combined with the camera angle, really make you realize how alone those four men were up in those mountains (Lone…

Biochemical tests are used to detect the presence of different kinds of organic molecules, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins. These tests include the Benedict’s Test, Iodine Test, Sudan III Stain Test, Biuret Test and many others. With these tests, the nutrients from an unknown solutions can be identified in the solution. The Benedict’s test is used for identifying reducing sugars, which are simple sugars that include monosaccharides and some disaccharides. The Benedict’s…

Most people love the feeling of being tan. It makes them feel confident with themselves due to the tan, sun kissed looking skin all year round, but do they know the dangers of the tanning bed? The tanning bed has many dangers and I am not a huge fan due to all the dangerous effects of it. The CDC states that “A tan is the body’s response to injury from UV rays. A base tan does little to protect you from future damage to your skin cause by UV exposure” (“Indoor Tanning Is Not Safe”). Whether it…

It was a sunny summer day and the weather was perfect for any outdoor activities. We were at Munising Tourist Park right outside Munising. It was me, my mom, my sister, my step brother John, step sister Piper, the two dogs, and my step dad Dave. We have been to this campground many times before and have loved it every single time. Its right on superior and there is a huge open beach. The water is always crystal clear and very cold. This place for me always stood out for the fact that once you go…

In the novel, The Road, Cormac McCarthy tracks the journey of a man and boy through an unknown wasteland to an undisclosed destination. It is evident that there has been a catastrophic disaster that has obliterated the land, as skeletons and corpses line the road they travel together. There is a foreboding sense of resignation and an absence of time and place. The reader never really knows where the man and boy are going; although, it is evident, that their journey is horrific. Along the way, we…

Ref: Saunders N. 2000, Creative Chemistry You have seen that the Group 1 alkali metal elements increase in reactivity as you go down the group. Sodium is less reactive than potassium, which is less reactive than rubidium (which you weren’t allowed to observe directly!) Today, you will use displacement reactions to work out the order of reactivity of the Group 17 halogen elements using chlorine, bromine and iodine. Hypothesis: The higher on the periodic table the more reactive the element…

Ecological Control Three fundamental treatment choices exist for hypersensitivity sufferers: 1. Sensitivity Medication 2. Immunotherapy (Allergy Shots) 3. Ecological Control What Is Environmental Control? Ecological control requires a touch of work on your part - it's not exactly as simple as gulping a pill or getting a shot - however it is the best treatment for hypersensitivities. In the event that you can control your surroundings and stay away from your allergens, then you won't…

Forms and Content, Take 2: Noël Carroll, “The Specificity Thesis” Noël Carroll’s essay, “The Specificity Thesis”, works to address the flaws in the idea that each art form has one subject matter that it alone is best suited to represent and express. Early on in the essay Carroll explains how the theories on art changed from pre-Enlightenment, during which theorists often analyzed different art forms based on the form of their subject, and how during the eighteenth century art theorists shifted…
