...My Science Fair Project During my seventh grade year in the spring of 2013, I developed my science fair project about the correlations in sportsmanship between middle school boys that participate in sports and their parents. The judges at my school science fair conveyed to me that my project was not a science project. I did not complain about this, and my teacher still allowed me to attend the annual Greater New Orleans Science and Engineering Fair (GNOSEF) hosted by Tulane University. I placed first in that competition and ended up winning the Behavioral Science division at the Louisiana Science and Engineering Fair (LSEF), which took place at the campus of Louisiana State University. I learned through this experience that my maintaining...

...Performance in Research Through the Use of Science Investigatory Project Problem : What is the effect of using the science investigatory project on the performance of the students in Research? I. Problem Situation The advent of new and up-to-date curriculum has brought into focus the need to match the new science programs with the appropriate teaching method. As applied to classroom teaching, method has something to do with the way a teacher communicates the subject to the students. The strategy should include regular steps to guide the mental processes of the learners in mastering the subject being presented to them. The Science Investigatory Project (SIP) is an undertaking for science students which need an application of certain scientific principles and ideas. One of its aims is to develop one’s capacity in order to actively and effectively participate in the solution of problems being faced by the community through the application of rational and creative thinking process in search for the solution of the problem. For four years of teaching Research I in Pedro Guevara Memorial National High School, the researcher observed that the students are not aware of the important contribution of the research to man’s life. They tend to ignore it as a subject, which is manifested by their negative attitude towards it and low performance in the Research subject. Students belonging to the Special Science Classes are expected to acquire high...

...My first post I explained what my science fair project is. I am showing the effects of erosion and what makes erosion move quickly and how to slow it down. I have started working on the project and putting it together. I have the materials all together and some parts started. I asked for some of my friends help to drink some soda out of 2-liter bottles so that I can use that for my project. I am now waiting on those bottles and my friends are almost done with their soda. I am hoping to gather all of the bottles by tomorrow. Once I have the bottles I will be able to put in some plants that I got along with set up the display to hold the bottles. I have gotten the trifold and have been working on what will be going on that. I do need to go over...

...PROJECT IN SCIENCE 9 Submitted by: Rogie Marie C. Abecia Submitted to: Ms. Teresita Nanales March 20, 2015 THE FLOW OF ENERGY AND MATTER IN ECOSYSTEM When we think about ecosystems, we need to think both big and small. We need to consider the recycling of atoms between organisms and within their environment and the flow of energy through living organisms and its changes from one form to another. We need to appreciate the relationships between organisms, and between organisms and their environment. We also need to consider the potential effects that these relationships have, not only on individual organisms and their environment, but also on our planet. WATER Organisms need water to survive. The good news is that water cycles through ecosystems. The bad news is that, at times, the amount of water available can be too great (as in the case of floods) or too little (as in the case of drought). Some species have adapted to these conditions and possess adaptations that increase their chances of survival. Other organisms are not so fortunate and severe conditions of too much or too little water can result in their death. If too many of a particular type of organism die, then the decrease in their population size can have implications not only for other members of their food web, but also for other biotic and abiotic factors within their ecosystem. ENERGY As energy flows through ecosystems, from producers to consumers to detrivores to decomposers, some energy...

...Project Part 3 In this section I will be discussing how my personal code of ethics addresses consequentialism and non-consequentialism, self interest and other interestedness, and the issues of act of rule. First of all, my personal code of ethics addresses consequentialism by 2 major consequentialists ethical theories which are ethical egoism and utilitarianism. Both of these theories believe that humans should behave in ways that will bring out good consequences. The difference between the two are that they disagree on who should benefit from these consequences. Ethical egoism says that human beings should act in their own self-interest, where utilitarians basically say that human beings should act in interest of all concerned. Now deep into the ethical egoism my code would more address universal ethical egoism because like most other theories it’s universal. An ethical theory that applies to all human beings. This theory does not state only what the individual should do, rather it concerning itself with all human beings should do if they want to be moral. They should act in their own self-interest. On the other hand with utilitarianism is addressed by stating that everyone should perform that act which will bring about the greatest amount of good over bad for everyone affected by the act. The belief is to not believe in setting up rules for action because they feel that each situation and each person are different. Each individual must assess the situation they are...

...Writing Assignment – Dr. Henderson 1.When an organism is transfected with a virus, it triggers several mechanisms to protect itself from the viral genes affecting it. Such mechanisms involve the innate immune response of the D. Melanogaster against the virus. Another mechanism that has been discovered not too long ago is the ability of silencing viral genes using an RNA interference pathway. The Argonaute paper has focused on the RNAi pathway of D. Melanogaster. The pathway involves a RISC complex composed of Argonaute 2 , viral siRNA and other proteins that act as a “strike and search” antagonist against viral genes and silencing them. In counter-defense, Viruses try to protect themselves by encoding viral suppressors of RNAi VSR to suppress the RNAi pathway. This leads to an “arms race” of adaptation and counter-adaptation by the host and virus. An important aspect of viral genome is its ability to undergo mutations to protect its self. Viral RNA is capable of antigenic shift and antigenic drift to cause mutations in its own genome and remain adaptable in host environment. The RNA Polymerase of the virus is phage-induced, so it is going to replicate the mutated genome and is different than eukaryotic Polymerase in that manner. In turn, host will evolve according to the viral genome to silence the “new” mutated genes. The evolutionary significance of VSRs in the Argonaute paper has enabled to understand how a conserved protein VP1 from Nora Virus is able to suppress viral...

...Benjamin Crowell THE MOTION OF FALLING OBJECTS The motion of falling objects is the simplest and most common example of motion with changing velocity. The early pioneers of physics had a correct intuition that the way things drop was a message directly from Nature herself about how the universe worked. Other examples seem less likely to have deep significance. A walking person who speeds up is making a conscious choice. If one stretch of a river flows more rapidly than another, it may be only because the channel is narrower there, which is just an accident of the local geography. But there is something impressively consistent, universal, and inexorable about the way things fall. Stand up now and simultaneously drop a coin and a bit of paper side by side. The paper takes much longer to hit the ground. That's why Aristotle wrote that heavy objects fell more rapidly. Europeans believed him for two thousand years. Now repeat the experiment, but make it into a race between the coin and your shoe. My own shoe is about 50 times heavier than the nickel I had handy, but it looks to me like they hit the ground at exactly the same moment. So much for Aristotle! Galileo, who had a flair for the theatrical, did the experiment by dropping a bullet and a heavy cannonball from a tall tower. Aristotle's observations had been incomplete, his interpretation a vast oversimplification. It is inconceivable that Galileo was the first person to observe a discrepancy with...

...This science fair project checks to see which one of the three, tea, coke or coffee stains the teeth the most. The hypothesis is that coke will stain the teeth the most is because of all the sugars in the cola. This project is interesting because a lot of things can stain the teeth; even parents tell to brush and floss because a lot of things can stain the teeth. The achievement in the project is to see which product can stain the teeth the most. How do teeth get discolored? Easy this is called extrinsic, this is when the outside of the tooth (the enamel) is stained, things like coffee, wine, cola, even smoking can stain the teeth. The different parts of the tooth are the enamel, dentin, gingiva, pulp, cementum, periodontal ligament, root,...

...Malunggay as ointment ABSTRACT The Malunggay leaves are highly nutritious, being a significant source of Vitambeta-carotein C, protein, iron and potassium. The leaves are cooked and used like spinach. In addition to being used fresh as a substitute for spinach, its leaves are commonly dried and crushed into a powder, and used in soups and sauces. Ointment is one of the medicine that can cure wounds. The procedures are all the materials will be gathered. Leaves will be pounded .Pounded leaves of Malunggay will be extracted. The extract will be boiled. Boiled extract will then be cooled. The boiled extract will be put in a sterilized small bottle/container for storage /preservation. The product will then be applied to an open wound with the use of cotton. I therefore conclude that the malunggay leaves can be a substitute medicine in curing open wounds but its odor matters.

...The Three Little Pigs Once upon a time, there were three little pigs Oinky, Doinky, and Boinky, who live with their mother at the forest. One day there mother told them “ You’re all enough to be still living with me. Go and build houses for yourselves, just remember there is a big bad wolf out there so be careful and make your houses strong.” “Yes mother” Said the three little pigs “We will be ready for it” Oinky the oldest pig, was so lazy to build a house so he thought of making a house of straw.” Doinky the Second little pig likes to play a lot so he thought of making a house of sticks. Boinky the third little pig was clever enough to know that the big bad wolf is strong so he thought of making a house of bricks. One day, Oinky was outside of his house of his house when the big bad wolf came, Oinky quickly run and locked the door. “Little pig, little pig let me come in.” cried the wolf “No, no by the hair of my chinny chin chin I will not let you in.” Replied the little pig “Then I’ll huff and I’ll puff an I’ll blow your houses away” Shouted the wolf. The big bad wolf blew away Oinky’s house of straw and Oinky run to Doinky’s house of sticks. The following day the big bad wolf passed by Doinky’s house of sticks and saw the two pigs inside. “Little pigs, little pigs let me come in.” cried the wolf “No, no by the hair of our chinny chin chin we will not let you in.” Replied the two little pigs “Then I’ll huff and I’ll puff an I’ll blow your houses away” Shouted...

...Newton's First Law of Motion: I. Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it. | This we recognize as essentially Galileo's concept of inertia, and this is often termed simply the "Law of Inertia". Newton's Second Law of Motion: II. The relationship between an object's mass m, its acceleration a, and the applied force F is F = ma. Acceleration and force are vectors (as indicated by their symbols being displayed in slant bold font); in this law the direction of the force vector is the same as the direction of the acceleration vector. | This is the most powerful of Newton's three Laws, because it allows quantitative calculations of dynamics: how do velocities change when forces are applied. Notice the fundamental difference between Newton's 2nd Law and the dynamics of Aristotle: according to Newton, a force causes only a change in velocity (an acceleration); it does not maintain the velocity as Aristotle held. This is sometimes summarized by saying that under Newton, F = ma, but under Aristotle F = mv, where v is the velocity. Thus, according to Aristotle there is only a velocity if there is a force, but according to Newton an object with a certain velocity maintains that velocity unless a force acts on it to cause an acceleration (that is, a change in the velocity). As we have noted earlier in conjunction with the discussion of Galileo, Aristotle's view seems to be more in accord with common...
