The Disengagement theory believes it is normal when a person removes themselves from society and social gatherings, and thinks about the psychological and physical problems that the theory can sometimes bring. When you retire you gain alot of free time and not using the time wisely could result in removing yourself from society and losing […]

Aerobic endurance depends on the capacity of the heart and circulatory system to meet the demands of the body for a sustained period of activity. Aerobic endurance is a very important component of fitness for football, as the players need to have high levels of physical fitness throughout the whole 90 minute game. They also […]

For this reaction the heat of dissociation is equal to the HO-OH bond energy. Since it is difficult to measure the heat of this reaction directly, you will use Hess’ Law to determine DHdis. Hess’ Law states that since the enthalpy is a function of state, it does not matter how the final state is […]

I am going to do an experiment to test how much sugar can be dissolved in different volumes of water. I will measure different volumes of water out and then add a certain amount of sugar to it and stir it until it dissolves fully, I will keep adding more and more sugar until the […]

For this experiment, a small-scale supermarket trolley will be utilized to simulate a larger one. The weight within the shopping trolley will be measured using weights on an overhead pulley system placed above the desk. Introduction This experiment aims to determine the factors affecting the ease of pushing a trolley. A pupil encountered varying levels […]

In our brainstorming session, we devised a plan to integrate physics and biology by investigating the correlation between plants and electricity. Our objective was to examine whether electrically powered lights could serve as a viable substitute for natural sunlight. To conduct this experiment, we opted for two artificial lights of contrasting colors, while also including […]

To determine the order of reaction of each reactant , I will keep one reactant in excess while changing the concentration of the other . I will place a conical flask on top of a sheet of white paper with a black cross of ink in the centre . The reactants will then be added […]

The sessile nature of plants means that they must encounter everything the environment has to throw at them. Most of their life is spent on the resource poverty line, having to make do with what little they have available to them. It would therefore be expected that plants would relish an opportunity to saturate themselves […]

Take three consecutive numbers; square the middle number, multiply the first by the third number. What do you notice? 2, 3, 4 are consecutive numbers they follow on from each other. The next number is one more than. 2, 3, 4 32 = 3*3 = 9 2*4 = 8 Difference 1 The numbers above are […]

There are many factors that effect the distance travelled by a projected margarine tub, the three main factors being:  The mass of the margarine tub.  The type of surface where the margarine tub will be projected.  The amount of energy given (potential energy) For this investigation I am going to find out how changing the […]

I am going to do an investigation into the ethanoic acid content of various kinds of vinegar. The chemical equation for the making of ethanoic acid is as follows: ethanol oxidization bacteria Ethanoic Acid To do this experiment I intend to do an accurate titration using a burette. Hypothesis: I predict that the amount of […]

In 1918, at the end of World War One, roughly 60 000 Canadians respectfully lost their lives in order for the safekeeping of millions of women, children and men all around the world. Many people question the loss of all these lives and whether or not it had been a beneficial outcome for Canada. Despite […]

Mathematics has clearly played a significant part in the development of many past and present civilisations. Almost everything in our everyday living seems to be directly linked with mathematics. Although Mathematics seems to be very familiar to man, there has been a great difficulty to answer this question, ” Was Mathematics invented or discovered?”. This […]

Method 1 Mass of Mg = 0.12g Volume of Hydrogen = 128cm3 Treatment of results Mg + 2HCl ==> MgCl2 +H2 Method 2 Mass of magnesium from method 1 = 0.12 Weight of boat = 44.17 Weight of boat with solution = 52.84 Weight of boat with salt (MgCl2) = 44.74 Mass of MgCl2 formed […]

The volume of iodine solution needed to neutralize the sodium thiosulphate. You simply titrate the sodium thiosulphate against the solution of iodine using starch solution as an indicator. Then when you have calculated the concentration of the sodium thiosulphate can use it in turn as a standard solution, to find the concentration of the other […]

Iron is a transition element, and all transition elements may be found in a variety of oxidation states, for example, iron exists as both, Iron(II) and Iron(III). These kinds of elements can react with both oxidizing and reducing agents due to the fact that they can be converted from one oxidation state to another. Working […]

Aim: to investigate the factors affecting cell membrane permeability of red cabbage, using absolute alcohol (10 cm3), 1 M hydrochloric acid (10 cm3), 1M sodium hydroxide (10 cm3), and distilled water (10 cm3), and change of temperature (40 oC, 65 oC, 100 oC)Hypotheses:If the leaf discs are not rinsed, the distilled water will change colour, […]

We are going to investigate the effect that different weights have on my parachute. We are going to construct a parachute and drop it from an unchanged height with different weights attached to it and record the results. To make my experiment, my parachute will be constructed from a black bin liner which will be […]

Moulin Rouge was seen in a theatre- or a tiny bedroom; whatever you prefer to call it- at 9:00 pm, 11th May. Known as one of the hippest yet classy musicals of modern time, it depicts the story of a young, dazzling star (played by Nicole Kidman) of a popular French nightclub and the steamy […]
