Exercise 1: Data Interpretation Table 1: Water Quality vs. Fish Population Dissolved Oxygen | 0 | 2 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 12 | 14 | 16 | 18 | Number of Fish Observed | 0 | 1 | 3 | 10 | 12 | 13 | 15 | 10 | 12 | 13 | 1. What patterns do you observe based on the information in Table 1? One pattern I observe was in the number of increments. ie….0,1,1,4,4,3,3,4,4,5. The increments would stay the same between for two observation periods with the exception of the 1st and last observation period. 2. Develop a hypothesis relating to the amount of dissolved oxygen measured in the water sample and the number of fish observed in the body of water. If the amount of dissolved oxygen increases in water then the amount of fish will also increase. 3. What would your experimental approach...

...Introduction to Science Name SCI 207 Date Lab 1 - Exercise 1: Data Interpretation Dissolved oxygen is oxygen that is trapped in a fluid, such as water. Since many living organism requires oxygen to survive, it is a necessary component of water systems such as streams, lakes and rivers in order to support aquatic life. The dissolved oxygen is measured in units of parts per million (ppm). Examine the data in Table 4 showing the amount of dissolved oxygen present and the number of fish observed in the body of water the sample was taken from; finally, answer the questions below. Questions 1. What patterns do you observe based on the information in Table 4? The fewer amounts of fish, the more oxygen there is in the water. They oxygen is measured in 2’s and the less fish there is the more oxygen there is. 2. Develop a hypothesis relating to the amount of dissolved oxygen measured in the water sample and the number of fish observed in the body of water? The more fish there is, the less amount of oxygen there is in the water. According to author’s Mckinsey& Chapman, “for fishes, dissolved oxygen is an abiotic factor that can limit habitat quality and affect survival, growth, and reproduction” (Mckinsey, D. & Chapman, L. 1998, pg. 211, para. 1). 3. What would your experimental approach be to test this hypothesis? I would add fish to the water and test the oxygen, and then remove fish and test the...

...1.What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of the current health care system in the United States? Some disadvantages of the current health care system in the United States is tons of people have no healthcare insurance at all and many of the insurance coverages have such high premium and deductibles people can't afford it. For you to be eligible for Medicaid you have to have a very low income. To get Medicare you have to be a certain age and Medicare doesn't cover all health care costs. For Private health care insurance you have to have a clean bill of health and if you have health conditions they will deny you coverage. But if private insurance companies are willing to give you insurance the premiums are so high and the deductibles are so high its really only catastrophic health insurance. Catastrophic insurance is not the kind of insurance that helps you pay for doctor visits, tests, and medications. There is so much more disadvantages in the current health care insurance system that it is not even funny. Also Insurance companies will cancel your insurance if you have a very serious surgery if you have a syndrome that you didn't tell the doctor about and you have to undergo a surgery that costs a lot of money they will drop you as soon as they can. Some Advantages of the current health care system is if you have really great is insurance you won't have to pay little to nothing on the doctor bills and you can get the medical attention you are needing. ...

...Lab Research Report 1: Procedures in the Physical Sciences Rhoda H. Jefferson Professor Cassie Prisco Introduction to Physical Science November 2, 2013 The specific challenges to making direct measurements in the fields of astronomy, chemistry, physics, or earth science are measuring global warming and climate changes, measuring how the earth rotates on its axis, and measuring the distance from the earth to the stars. Scientist have had these issues for a number of years but overcome using indirect forms to measure these challenges. For global warming, scientist used a 350-year record of precipitation in California determined by using 52 tree ring chronologies as proxies for precipitation. (www.geosociety.org/gsatoday/archive/11/12/pdf/i1052-5173-11-12-41.pdf) This method was used to determine average annual precipitation, which showed extended dry periods. These methods were not 100% because there were no baselines to compare. In this day and time to obtain a temperature that represents a large area, it requires measurements of multiple locations. Measurements are taken by thermometers, and averaged together, this can aide in determining regional trends. (http://www.thenewatlantis.com/publications/taking-the-earths-temperature) Another challenge that scientist come up against is measuring how the earth rotates on its axis. When the earth rotates on its axis, it fluctuates in relation to space. This is caused by the gravity from the sun and the moon...

...Academic Laboratory Science Concern for Student Safety Prepared By: Nyaira L. Barrett (Nya) Prepared For: Mr. Bill Ebbesen Technical Reporting April 19, 2015 Executive Summary Purposes of the Report The purpose of this recommendation report is to identify the underlying causes of academic lab safety and give recommendations on how these safety issues can be resolved so that future accidents can be avoided. The topics discussed in this report will help to determine the appropriate course of actions that need to be taken to ensure that all students and staff whom conduct lab experiments do so with the upmost caution. There is a growing concern for the safety of both staff and students that does not seem to lower the risks that these people are being put in. The importance of proper training and education on lab safety can help to resolve future issues. Academic Lab Safety: Ensuring the Safety of Our Students This research conducted is to help improve the improper management of academic labs by providing safety education and encouraging the correct training on safety. If the requirements of lab safety training are being met, then staff and student safety can be reduce to a minimum. Without the proper safety practices during experiments in the lab, many more students and staff will continue to be hurt and the future of academic labs may cease to exist based on the lack of funding that may or may not be provided...
