Earth's Climate And Seasons: ‘How Do They Relate?’
... because of the earth’s round shape. If you would take all ball, and shine a flashlight on it, there is no way possible to get the light to spread evenly over the entire ball. This is just like Earth and the sun. The earth’s shape makes the light amount about even, for example, at 40%S and 40%N latitude because the rays sort of fan out from the equator. While the earth is revolving around the sun, it is also rotating on it’s own axis. One full rotation equals one day or twenty- four hours. At the middle of the day, noon, the sun is as direct as it can be, and this is also the hottest time of the day. But, when Earth makes one half turn, it changes to nig ...

CODEINE (C18 H2, NO3 H3PO4 1/2 H2O)
... colorless or white crystals or as a white,
crystalline powder and is slightly soluble in water and freely soluble in
alcohol. The phosphate and sulfate salts of codeine occur as white, needle-
shaped crystals or white, crystalline powders. Why is it used? Codeine is most
useful in the relief of mild to moderate pain. It is also used as a cough remedy
because it suppresses the part of the brain that triggers coughing, and as an
anti-diarrheal drug, because it slows down muscle contractions in the intestinal
wall. There are possible adverse effects. The most frequently observed adverse
reactions include lightheadedness, dizziness, sedation, nausea, vomiting, and
sweat ...

... space.
Robert Gossard (left) was one of the most integral inventors of the
satellite. He was born on October 5, 1882. He earned his Masters and Doctoral
degree in Physics at Clark University. He conducted research on improving solid-
propellant rockets. He is known best for firing the world's first successful
liquid-propellant rocket on March 16, 1926. This was a simple pressure-fed
rocket that burned gasoline and liquid oxygen. It traveled only 56m (184 ft) but
proved to the world that the principle was valid. Gossard Died August 10, 1945.
Gossard did not work alone, he was also in partnership with a Russian theorist
named Konstantin Tsiolkovsky. Tsiolkovsky was ...

Cells
... a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration, a vital function in the life of a cell. Like wise, the surface area and volume of a cell are directly influential in the efficiency of the cell’s nutrient absorption and waste expulsion processes. Since the cell membrane of an eukaryotic cell is its only source of nutrition, its surface area must be large enough to allow the cell’s organelles to receive the material it needs or it will die. The eukaryotic cell does this by maximizing the surface area to volume ratio. By using the surface area and volume equations for a sphere you can estimate the surface area of a small cell. By modeling the growth ...

Global Warming 3 --

FIRST of all, it is important to know that the "greenhouse effect" is not a bad thing in itself. In fact, this planet would be a life-less waste land without its natural greenhouseing. There are a collection of gases called "greenhouse gases," which are water vapor, carbine dioxide, ozone, methane, nitrous oxide, and chlorofluorocarbons (CFC). Without the natural greenhouse effect, the surface temperatur ...

Exploring The Mind
... of the human population.
Instinctive thinking is probably at its purest state in children. Children from 1 to 4 years of age have a very limited knowledge of how to conduct themselves in society. They have not had time to learn the social standards of their time. So with this limited knowledge, children will consistently react to situations in a similar way that can only be explained by an instinctive nature. Have young children changed their behavior since the 1700's? I suppose any child from any culture at any time in history would cry when it was upset, physically take whatever it wanted, need a certain amount of love and attention, and also be interested in ...

Grasshopper Dissection
... solution from the specimen 5) we used tweezers to pull the mouth parts and head from the specimen. 6) we used a light so that we could see all the internal parts to the grasshopper clearly.
I found this to be a very educational experience not just for me but for my whole group, I know this because I could see them concentrate and do everything right instead of just screwing off and not concentrating at all. I never knew that a grasshopper had so many complex parts to it. The jaw alone amazed me. I must say that the temperature in the room made those little things stink like a son of a gun. But all in all it was fun and I can honestly say that I ac ...

CTscans stands for “Computed Tomography”. It is a way of looking inside your body using a special camera. It is an advanced scanning x-ray and computer system that makes detailed pictures of horizontal cross-sections of the body, or the part of the body that is x-rayed. A CT scan is a diagnostic test that combines the use of x-ray with computer technology. A series of x-beams from many different angles are used to get these cross-sectional images of the patient’s body. In a computer, these pictures are assembled into a 3-dimentianal picture that can display organs, tissues, bones, and any such thing. It can even show ducts, blood vessels and ...

Effect Of Temp On Endo And Ectotherms (metabolism)
... or cold blooded animal, warms its body mainly by absorbing heat from its surroundings. The amount of heat it derives from its metabolism is negligible. In contrast, endotherms derive most or all of its body heat from its own metabolism (Campbells,p899). Because ectotherms do not produce their own heat, they cannot actively ensure their ideal temperature for an ideal metabolic rate (aquacult.htp).
In the following experiment, we will attempt to examine the relationship between metabolic rate and environmental temperature in both an ectoderm and an endotherm. I predict that for the ectotherm, the metabolic rate will increase as the outside environment temperature wi ...
