Through studying the impact of Value-Driven Attentional Capture (VDAC) on adolescents, researchers are more able to understand the correlation between learned stimulus-reward associations and the behaviours that follow. Roper, Vecera, & Vaidya’s (2014) study is highly relevant and applicable to gaining an understanding of the difference in attentional capture between adolescents and adults. The use of dynamic visual cues to present reward-stimuli and distractors to the subjects produce clear results

freezing times based on the liquid with various starting temperatures have been made throughout history. Aristotle, Rene Descartes, and recently Xi Xhang and his team from Mayang Technological University in Singapore have all performed experiments testing this theory. The Mphemba effect was named after a Tanzanian student who observed ice cream mixed faster when it was hot than when it was cold. To test this theory, Nikola Bregovic placed 30 ml of room temperature water with an immersed thermistor

Can the surface tension of water be affected by common household chemicals? Project design plan Water is composed of two Hydrogen molecules which are covalently bonded to an Oxygen molecule. In this configuration the Hydrogens electrons are located closest to the oxygen molecule, while the oxygen’s electrons are on the opposite side of the atom away from the Hydrogen molecules. This causes the Hydrogen side of the water molecule to have a negative charge and the hydrogen side of the atom to have
