Many living organisms rely on the environment for essential resources, including water, food, and shelter. However, they not only need the help of the environment but also other species that live within the biosphere. This lab aided in demonstrating how the affect of one organism has on another, and whether or not it benefits either organisms or one organism. In order to progress with the experiment we first have to identify our variables that will be used during the experiment. The independent…

You then see the ocean, looking nice and cool and a sudden burst of confidence runs through you as you take your time stepping off of the boardwalk and into the sand. The sand is hot for the first few steps but the idea of stepping into that cool water is keeping you walking. A few more steps and you start to get the feel of the sand and it becomes easier to handle. You see others along your path and befriend…

Motionless, silent, I floated amongst the algae and the cool calm water embraced me. (Opening Adjective) Before the tale of the frog king begins, a little history lesson is in order. Around ten years ago, my family owned a sixteen-acre property in Grand Haven. The land consisted of two large ponds, both filled with countless fish, turtles, and other fascinating organisms. On the adjacent side of the farthest back pond, a tall tree house stood looming over the land. A kind of watchtower of the…

and roughly grind with a pestle. Place the swordfish chunks in a bowl, add the fennel seeds, lemon zest, fish sauce, cracked pepper, and olive oil, and mix well. Cover and marinate in the fridge for 2–3 hours. Meanwhile, soak eight wooden skewers in water for about 1–2 hours to ensure they do not burn during cooking. Alternatively you could use metal skewers. Thread the swordfish onto the skewers. Heat an oiled chargrill pan, add the souvlakia, and cook for 5 minutes on each side until cooked…

Hydrazine (N2H4) is a colorless, oily liquid that has an odor similar to ammonia. Other names for Hydrazine include Diamine, Nitrogen hydride, Diazine, and Levoxine. Its molecular weight is 32.05 g/mol and it is miscible in water. Its boiling point is 113.5 degrees Celsius at 760 mm Hg and its melting point is 2.0 degrees Celsius. Most people can smell hydrazine when present at concentrations of 2.0–8.0 parts per million (Choudhary G). “It is known for its corrosive and strong reducing…

a) Another example of how humans have impacted the stimulus coastal environment is urban development of the coastline. The increased amount of people living near the coast has resulted in more residential construction along the coast and the development of sand dunes for 'prime' real estate and recreational purposes. This has had devastating effects on Australia’s coastline including the damaging effects on the sand dunes that protect the inland areas during times of high energy storms. The…

Water is essential to life, but the benefits vary depending on what type of water you drink. Interesting fact, drinking water will make your skin glow. I can attest to this after completing a 30 day water challenge. The 30 day water challenge consisted of drinking 2 liters of water a day persistently for 30 days. This was a extremely difficult challenge although I don’t mind drinking water, thoughts would creep into my mind such as “I have been good I deserve some juice or soda”. The mind is…

Introduction The Johnstown Flood which was one of the worst disasters ever happened in U.S. history by far which was also the most famous dam failure. Johnstown is situated about 50 miles east-southeast of Pittsburgh, in the Allegheny Mountains, in the southeastern Pennsylvania. There was the “South Fork Hunting and Fishing Club” whose members included Andrew Carnegie, Henry Frick and Andrew Mellon. The club had bought the abandoned earth fill dam and the reservoir known as Lake Conemaugh.…

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…

negative influences and uses for each. After that, I will summarize the topics one by one. The Amazon River is the second longest river in the world at almost 4,000 miles. It is also one of the widest rivers; six miles wide at some places. It collects water from 40% of South America in the form of tributaries. Tributaries are rivers or streams flowing into larger rivers or lakes. The Amazon River helped in transportation before Europeans arrived…
