Bean Lab
This experiment was done to find out the affects of various types of light on bean plants. The hypothesis was If Blue light helps plants grow better in height and 3 bean plants are grown in Artificial Light, Natural light, and no light than, the bean plant that is under artificial light will grow best. It is evident from the average class data that length of the bean plant in cup c grew the most.

Contributions of Physical Activity in the Elementary School Setting
Contributions of Physical Activity in the Elementary School Setting 1 Physical education in the elementary school system is an essential curriculum for the development of all children. Early physical education classes provide children with a process for progression from the random play stage to the organized game and eventually structured learning. Throughout this process, children learn the value of group dynamics. Values such as sharing, team play, communication and respect for others become common practice.

Enzyme Lab Using Jello
Enzyme Lab Using Jello INTRODUCTION: Enzymes are known as protein catalysts. The name protein catalyst suggests that most enzymes are made of proteins. A catalyst is a substance that speeds up chemical reactions without being consumed in the process. (Giuseppe, M 2002, p.69). After a reaction has been catalyzed, the catalyst can be used again to catalyze the same reaction. Enzymes reduce the activation energy (minimal energy) it takes for a reaction to take place.

Physics Coursework Theory - Resistance of a Wire
Theory behind my experiment Thickness (cross sectional area of the wire), length, and temperature all have some effect on the amount of resistance created in a wire. Another factor is the conductivity of the material we are using. Some metals are just more electrically conductive than others. As long as I use the same type of metal for each wire, my experiment will remain fair. Cross Sectional Area The thicker the wire, the less resistant

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
