The purpose of this lab was to get used to using lab machinery such as the spectrometer. Spectroscopy is the interaction of matter and electromagnetic radiation. Most of our lab was based on the idea that matter would absorb and then reflect the colors we wanted to see based on the dyes we used. We also tested how strong the dyes were by testing them on filter paper and seeing how far they would travel up the paper. During dry lab we put all the classes’ data together to get accurate absorbance averages

Another reason that teens are irresponsible because in the past years the recent crash rates have been rising from 44 olds to 16

1. After completing the survey's, I agree with the results. I've done personality tests before, and I'm a very self reflective person- for the most part, the answers are what I thought they would be. For example, on the first survey, my highest relative score was for emotional mentoring; this entails helping others with their emotions and showing empathy.

In that respect, in this section, I would like to see brief answers to the following questions: - what did you do in the lab (purpose), and - how did you do it? (The effects that rotation has on motion of geophysical fluids (ocean, atmosphere) was investigated through comparison of motions in a stationary tank (no rotation), and a rotating tank (to simulate rotation of the Earth). This

When I hear Searle’s Chinese room argument I think about what all my teachers use to say about cheating. When you copy peoples’ homework and classwork it looks like you know the subject matter, but when the test comes around you didn’t really learn anything and are most likely to get a low grade. Copying something is not the same as knowing something. To a computer program everything is ones and zeros and depending on the program it can respond by replicating
