Succession Lab
Succession, the process of a community changing over time, can be broken down into sub groups such as ecological, primary, pond, and secondary. Ecological succession being the most basic. In the Succession Lab, we observed a community in a ecosystem. As we recorded the data each class, we observed that succession takes place with rapid speed for in each observation, a new specimen is identified. A niche is how the organisms live, what their role

Physics Lab
Introduction The purpose of this lab is to examine the motion of an electron, when it encounters a constant magnetic and electric field. We will also observe when the electric field and magnetic field will cancel each other out. This will lead to the electron having no net force acting upon it. By adjusting the values for the magnetic and electric fields, we will be able to check the different paths the electron follows. From

Yak Lab
Yak Lab Natural selection is the process by which favorable heritable traits become more common in successive generations of a population of reproducing organisms, and unfavorable heritable traits become less common. Natural selection acts on the phenotype, or the observable characteristics of an organism, such that individuals with favorable phenotypes are more likely to survive and reproduce than those with less favorable phenotypes. If all the offspring that organisms can produce were to survive and

Lab: Effect of Temperature on the Catalase Enzyme
Lab: Effect of Temperature on the Catalase Enzyme Background Information: Catalase is an enzyme which is commonly found in mammalian animals, such as, but not limited to, humans and cows. Catalase’s function in the body is to dissolve hydrogen peroxide. Without the aide of Catalase we would die as hydrogen peroxide is poisonous to humans. Catalase works with the hydrogen peroxide molecule because the substrate (hydrogen peroxide) has a shape which corresponds to the enzyme
