Introduction: I carried out an experiment to determine how the concentration of an enzyme will cause a change in the initial rate of reaction. I worked with three other people and split different tasks between ourselves. This experiment required a lot of safety measures to be taken. Safety: Goggles were needed for the experiment to avoid contact with eyes as we were using hydrogen peroxide which is corrosive, and hot water. Lab. Coats were a necessity in order to avoid the risk of getting the

Nukes? Summary James Carroll’s “If Poison Gas Can Go, Why Not Nukes?” is a rally for readers to support the elimination of nuclear weapons from acceptable military arsenal just like poison gas was banned. The author believes that just like chemical weapons were developed, used successfully in war and eventually abandoned so will nuclear weapons. Carroll believes that nuclear weapons are dangerous and can be used for enormous destruction. The author builds his arguments from a historical

LABORATORY NOTEBOOKS Why do we keep a lab notebook? In the ‘real world’, you will be expected to record what you do and how you do it, with the data clearly identifiable. There are 2 reasons for this: • Any scientific experiment is only considered valid if it can be repeated by someone else using your notebook. • If you develop a new product or process, your notebook becomes a legal document that can be scrutinized in a court of law, especially in cases of

The reason I chose memory was because memory is something everyone use every day on the daily basis. Memory is one of the most fascinating topics you can ever hope to study in any field. It is a fundamental component of daily life. We rely on it so heavily, that it is not a stretch to say that life without memory would be close to impossible. Our very survival depends on our ability to remember who we are, who others are, our past experiences, what is dangerous, what is safe, etc. Its importance

Major: Environmental Engineering We humans have a long history of polluting our air, water, and soil. This contamination not only hurts nature, but is dangerous to people. Luckily, environmental engineers are on the job. They use math and science to clean up the messes we've made and prevent new ones from happening. For example, they might figure out how to clean up toxic material that has seeped into the ground at an old gas station or design an effective way to treat wastewater. If you choose

Dangers of Chemical Cleaners Toxic Chemicals In Household Cleaners You deserve to know what is in the products you are using to clean your home! Most household cleaners contain toxic chemicals. Ammonia, Formaldehyde, Phthalates, Benzalkonium Chlorid, and 2-butoxyethanol, are among them. Oven cleaners are one of the most toxic products people use. They contain lye and ammonia. The chemical companies spend billions of dollars each year brainwashing us. Ninety-one percent of the population applies
