In Chapter 6 of Enrique’s Journey, Enrique has finally made it to the boarder of Mexico and Texas at the Rio Grande River. This chapter is about the beginning of Enrique’s life in America. During this chapter I found a few more key points. The first key point in the chapter came up when Enrique was crossing the Rio Grande River. I think about how many immigrants cross that boarder every day and are killed trying to make their dreams come true by coming to America. In the book is says that “Up to

Congress now will spend $88 million in the first go-around to put thousands of Valley people out of work and to force an overdraft our ground aquifer by water-thirsty farmers" McEwen incorporates in "River Plan Too Fishy for my Taste Buds".

The independent variable is the bill size of the male B. rhinoceros. There will be three groups based on the bill size. I will try to choose birds with other similar traits such as body length, age, bill and feather colour to ensure that the experiment tests my hypothesis. The dependent variable will be the effect of the bill size on the mating chances. I will measure this by recording the number of successful copulations in each of the three groups and compare them together. I will provide a controlled

The purpose of the hydrate lab was to calculate the percent mass and the number of moles of H2O within a sample of Copper (II) Sulfate Pentahydrate. During the process of the experiment, there were multiple errors that lead to an average of 14% error from the theoretical value. One of the errors included the duration of time in which the hydrate was placed on top of the bunsen burner flame. The alterations in the duration of time between the two trials would lead to a difference in the amount of

Abstract: The purpose of this lab is to measure the rate of photosynthesis in isolated chloroplasts. The lab begins with adding solutions to multiple cuvettes, then adding either boiled chloroplasts, not boiled chloroplasts or no chloroplasts. After approximately 5 minute timed sessions in light, tubes are placed in spectrophotometer one at a time and the transmittance percentage is recorded for each test. Boiled chloroplasts are denatured, so photosynthesis cannot occur. Solutions in test tubes

The purpose of today’s lab was to observe precipitation reaction and to create full and net ionic equations for each precipitate formed. The first part of this lab required us to combine four unknown solutions in well plates and see which react. Next, we had to create eight mixtures, in the well plates. Most of these mixtures created precipitates. The second part of the lab was essential in identifying which solution was in each of the unknown bottles. We were able to identify all four unknown solutions
