Water slide

The Ferguson Rock Slide is classified as a major rock slide event that took place over the course of six months from May to November 2006. The slide blocked California State Highway 140, a major traffic route for vehicles entering and exiting Yosemite National Park in the Sierra Nevada mountain range in Central California. This route is primarily used by private and commercial vehicles for tourism, employees of the Yosemite National Park, and local residents of the area. Macro and Micro…

and hay. Next, the bowl is filled with water 3/4 way. Cover the bowl, and allow it to sit by the window for about a week before observing. To begin observation, obtain and label three pipets: “surface,” “middle,” and “bottom.” The usage of three different pipets for each layer is to avoid cross continuation. Obtain three different slides and coverslips. Using the surface pipet, take a small sample of pond water form the surface and place one drop on the slide. Place a coverslip on it and then…

In our study, we had two controls that we placed the Lumbriculus variegatus into. First, we used spring water to get the normal heart rate of the worms. The other control was a caffeine solution that served as our positive control. Our other solutions that we exposed the worms to consisted of increasing concentrations of two different NSAIDs (ibuprofen and aspirin). For each NSAID, we had a solution equivalent to the recommended dosage for a person based on body weight (the proportional dosage…

Slime is made up of elements that are mixed together. The "slime" formula is sodium tetraborate decahydrate (Na2B4O7•10H2O), commonly known as borax, to a solution of white glue and water. White glue is an example of a polymer--it is made of long chains of polyvinyl clear plastic film molecules. These chains slide past one another fairly easily, enabling the glue to be poured from the bottle. But when the borax is added to the glue, a highly (thick and slow-pouring), very tough form of slime is…

Summer time brings a lot of new and fun activities to my plate. Among these are tubing and water skiing. I enjoy both of these activities a lot, but in different ways. Water skiing is a tough and rewarding sport while tubing is an easy and relaxed activity. When I start tubing, I can see the red and yellow checkered rope attached to my tube. It runs through the rough and choppy water up to the boat. I am lying down and staring at the faded red and yellow covering. The white tube shows through…

bridges, with steep canyon walls surrounding us. The sheer vertical cliffs stretched on for miles. There are just a few breaks where the rocks have collapsed due to rainwater that flows down the hillside. This creates a slide. If someone, or something happened to enter the water, the only way out would be to use one of these washed out rocky areas. It is quite an amazing place to be. The walls seem to absorb all sound, the air is still and if you take a moment to listen, you can hear a random…

Florida keys. Scientists think otters have been on this planet for 30 million years. There are 13 different types of otters so they live all over so in rivers lakes, and some salt water. Otters live up to 16 years in the wild but some lives can be doubled in captivity . Some otter species spend all their time in the water…

to the blue lagoon of the wild sea. Holding your breath, your heart is beating in the cadence to the rhythmic rocking of the waves. Sleek water surfaces. Almost dissolving into foam, they are calling for you to reach them. So tempting, nearly irresistible to touch. You desire to test if the water is as heavenly as it seems. Your fingers are so tempted to slide through the azure…

Signal the boat driver to take the speed up slow. When the board begins to plane, start to pull your knees onto the knee pad. 4) Slowly slide or crawl on your knees until they reach the normal kneeling position. 5) As soon as you are in your comfortable position sit up, let go of the handle with one hand and put the strap over your legs. Surface tricks The side slide is the simplest of all the tricks. 1) Place yourself correct after the…

required: 1. 0.1 M glycine buffer: 7.5 g of glycine and 5.85 mg of sodium chloride were dissolved in one litre of distilled water. 2. Buffered substrate: 2.76 g of lithium lactate was dissolved in 125 ml of glycine buffer containing 75 ml of 0.1 N sodium hydroxide solution. This was prepared just before use. 3. 0.4 N NaOH. 4. 5.0 mg of NAD+ was dissolved in 1.0 ml of distilled water just before use. 5. 2,4-dinitrophenyl hydrazine reagent (DNPH) : 200 mg of DNPH was dissolved in one litre of 1 N…
