I was provided with a solution of a monobasic (monoprotic) acid. Monoprotic acid is an acid that contains only one hydrogen atom. I was to determine the molarity of the acid by titration with a sodium hydroxide solution, and then use this molarity to calculate the relative formula mass of the acid. An acid is […]

I am going to investigate the effects of changing the spinners speed on the drag. There are several variables that I could investigate to see their effects on the spinners drag. 1. Shape- I could alter the shape of the spinner 2. Size- I could investigate the effects on drag with different sizes of blade […]

The experiment consisted of recording the results of a small toy car being allowed to roll down a ramp and then leave the end of the ramp by continuing straight off the drop from the end of the desk. I measured the ramp’s length, the height of the ramp, and the distance it covered horizontally. […]

Transpiration Plants take in water so that they can use some of it for photosynthesise, however most of the water taken in is lost through the stomata at the bottom of the leaf, this is transpiration. Water enters plants through the roots. The roots are covered in millions of tiny root hair cells. The root […]

Collect all of the apparatus needed for the experiment Fill trough and collection tube with water (Make sure that you are wearing an apron and safety goggles) Set up apparatus as shown on the above diagram Place the pondweed in the test tube and add sodium hydroxide Put lamp in front of the test tube […]

One dicotelydonous leaf was taken and approximately 1cm� of clear nail varnish was painted both on the adaxil (top) and abaxil (bottom) surfaces of the leaf. It was then left for approximately 10 minutes to dry and gently peeled off using a scalpel after the 10 minutes. The peeled nail varnish was then examined first […]

Guy de Maupassant’s short story, The Necklace, follows the unfortunate life of a vain middle-class woman named Mathilde Loisel. Maupassant maintains the reader’s interest by applying irony, an engrossing theme and ordinary human characters […]

The apparatus will be set up as shown in the diagram above. Then I intend to- measure the starting temperature of water. add the indigestion tablet to the boiling tube. measure the volume of gas produced every 15 seconds until the reaction finishes (I will know that it has finished because there will be no […]

The legalization of abortion is still a big question for people who are concerned about this issue. According to doctors, psychologists, and journalists, an abortion is a serious health risk for woman’s body and soul. There are two types of abortion, a medical abortion and an instrumental abortion.

On the 22nd of February we visited the Landrover site in Gaydon also known as the Technology Partnership Centre.The guide spoke to us about what the establishment does and how it works in the context of Physics.Its main purpose is as a Design and test centre which incorporates a variety of areas:-Concept Design -CAD and […]

Our objective is to assess the quantity, variety, and environmental impacts on various plant species in two coppiced regions within Nower Wood. One of these areas underwent its last cutting three decades ago, whereas the other was more recently cut just seven years ago. The hypothesis proposes that the older coppice will have more plant […]

On Wednesday the 13th of March, my colleagues and I went to view The Government Inspector at the Dunstan Playhouse. The excitement felt when viewing great theatre is a kind of creative nourishment. The Government Inspector was a hilarious and creative satire based on the 1830’s script of Ukrainian-born writer Nikolai Gogol. The director, Adam […]

I intend to determine the optimal rate of anaerobic respiration in yeast through an experiment involving heating the yeast within a glucose solution. The heating process triggers the release of gas, which I will measure as my experimental data. To ensure safety, I will wear protective goggles throughout the experiment. Additionally, I will utilize a […]

‘Enzymes are special kinds of proteins that are found in all living matter. Living cells need enzymes to live and grow. Enzymes are catalysts, substances which speed up chemical reactions present in very small amounts without being changed in the reaction’ [1] .It was firstly named enzyme by a German physiologist, Wilhelm K�hne in 1878.

Aim: The aim of this investigation is to discover if different variables affect the rate of diffusion. My aim is to discover if the concentration of the acid affects the rate of diffusion. Preliminary Work: For my preliminary work I looked at different types of diffusion. First I sprayed an air freshener across the classroom, […]

Leaves are made up of several different layers of cells, which are very complex. They all have different functions. Leaves differ from one plant to another. Some may be very large, while some may be small. There could also be a difference in texture, colour and shape. Some leaves may also appear more turgid, while […]

Aim – To investigate whether or not light intensity affects the growth of cress seedlings. Hypothesis – I predict, the higher the light intensity, the more the cress seedlings will grow. Theory – The theory of photosynthesis states that a plant needs 4 things to photosynthesise and make food (glucose) for itself; these are light, […]
