Nuclear energy is energy that comes from uranium. One uranium fuel pellet the size of the tip of a pencil eraser - produces the same energy as 17,000 cubic feet of natural gas, 1,780 pounds of coal or 149 gallons of oil. The energy is released in two ways; nuclear fusion and nuclear fission. Nuclear fusion energy is released when atoms are joined together to make a larger atom and Nuclear fission is the opposite and is when atoms separate making smaller atoms. Nuclear plants use nuclear fission

Convection is the transfer of heat through the circulation of heated molecules in a fluid[1]. During convection, heated molecules move from one place to another, taking the heat with them[1]. It is caused by the collective movement of groups of molecules within fluids through advection, diffusion, or a combination of both[2]. Molecules in solid objects are densely packed together, which does not allow space for the molecules to go through convection; however many solids undergo heat conduction

This is a lab in which we will be using combustion to make magnesium and turn into a fine powder. We will first put the crucible on a mesh above bunser burner to heat it up to get out any moisture. We will then record the weight and weigh the magnesium in the crucible. Then we will put the crucible over a flame with the magnesium inside until it turns into the powder. There are many changes in the world. These changes are like changes in chemistry because some you don’t see and there is some

The purpose for the experiment was to see if a planarian could retain information by classical conditioning and react to a flash of light when electricity was induced into the water. The results from the experiment indicate that more planarian were able to show a positive response than a negative response after regeneration. This conveys that planarian can retain the information needed to respond to a new stimulus that had been created (McLeod 2008). It was found that testing them over and over
