Geologic History Of Washington State Washington State has a very interesting geologic history as does the rest of the Pacific Northwest. What does not seem as a hot bed for volcanoes is, and has been for millions upon millions of years. This area has also seen it’s fair share of earthquakes rattle and bring the area to a halt. In contrast, the land is also in a rebuilding state, as ne

AIDS In South Carolina Among the highest state in US concerning AIDS cases, South Carolina ranks eighth in the nation based on the facts that were given out by American Medical Association. However, South Carolina's cases in AIDS have decreased since 1993. Still, AIDS is one of the biggest issues that people are worrying about in this state. AIDS is a disease, which results from suppress

The Change To Hydrogen Why are we as Americans so afraid to change' Even if it is a change for the better' The world has been using oil coal and other petroleum products to power just about everything that moves for the last 150 years. Yet most cars in the United States only get 10-20 miles a gallon and even the "good" ones can get only a petty 20-50 miles a gallon. So why do we put up w

Alzheimers ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE The reason that I chose Alzheimer’s diseases as the disease that I will report on is because I felt that it is a very fascinating and common disease within people over the age of 60. I believed that if I now a great deal about this disease, I would understand more about why so many people have become devastated by Alzheimer’s. A good friend of my mother

The Big Bang Theory Big bang theory It is always a mystery about how the universe began, whether if and when it will end. Astronomers construct hypotheses called cosmological models that try to find the answer. There are two types of models: Big Bang and Steady State. However, through many observational evidences, the Big Bang theory can best explain the creation of the universe. The

The Big Bang Theory My report is about the Big Bang Theory. It contains three major points, which are the origin, how this theory was formed and my thoughts about the theory. First, I will start with how the Big Bang Theory came about. No one really knows how the solar system was formed. The Big Bang Theory is one of many ideas about how the whole universe came about. It can best e

Einsteins Effect On The World Albert Einstein has always intrigued me by his knowledge. I find it amazing that someone can be so incredibly smart. Only after reading this book did I discover the affect of Einstein’s knowledge. His theorems changed the worlds perspective on science and nature. Many of his ideas still get public interest to this day. He is responsible for such

Place the thre

The Effects Of Marijuana I am often exasperated by the way both proponents and opponents in the marijuana debate use - and abuse - science in defending their positions. Marijuana has been studied in detail; there is a scientific literature on how it acts and the possible adverse effects of long-term use. The claims that marijuana has important medical applications have been researched al

The Effect Of Light On The Indian Meal Moth Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to analyze if different lightings, particularly of different colors and wavelengths have a direct impact on the increase and decrease in the population of P. Interpunctella that is typically found in stored grain products in warehouses. The fluorescent light colors of red, far red (red and blue),

The Four Seasons Evidence for Seasons A discussion of weather would not be complete without mentioning seasons: Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall, often distinguished by variations in temperature, daylight, proximity of the sun. The angle of the sun also comes into play here. The longer the day, as in summer the more intense the solar radiation. The sun is high in the sky and most concen

Career Paper Independent Research The major I have chosen is Biological Chemistry. I have chosen this field of study because I find it interesting and there is always something new to discover in the world of chemistry. Also, this field of study covers pre med requirements if I want to go to medical school. This way if I don't like biochemistry that much I can go into the medical fie

The Frozen People The Frozen People Suzie Q, a twenty-five year old woman, is dying of AIDS. When she learned this, she heard about something called cryonic suspension. A cryonist at the hospital where she gets treatment told her how cryonics freezes people when they are pronounced dead. When the cure for AIDS is developed, she would then be revived and able to start a new life. Suzie

The Hepatitis B Virus Hepatitis B is a very serious liver infection that can lead to liver cancer and sometimes even death. In the following pages, a background of the virus, how it is contracted and controlled, and the complications it causes will be thoroughly discussed and reviewed. Hepatitis B is a big concern because it can cause liver damage. The liver is the largest intestinal o

Cloning The practice of cloning can be beneficial to humans and other living things. Cloning has been a very controversial topic since it affects moral values of human beings and other living things alike. In February 1997, scientists in Scotland announced the birth of the first cloned sheep named Dolly; this heralded the future of cloning possibilities. Scientists began extensive experi

Atoms An atom is the smallest subdivision of matter. An atom consists of three types of particles. The nucleus, or center, of an atom contains neutral particles, called neutrons, and positively charged particles, called protons. Around the nucleus is a thinly populated region that contains electrons, particles with a negative electrical charge. You can picture an atom as a miniature sola

Brain Tumors The American Cancer Society estimates that 18,300 Americans will be diagnosed with malignant brain, spinal cord and other nervous system tumors in 2003. Approximately 13,100 people in the United States will die from brain, spinal cord, and other nervous system tumors in 2003. Brain and spinal cord tumors occur most often in children younger than 10 years of a

Chem Lab Mole and Mass Relationships NaHCO3(s) + HCl(aq) ® NaCl(aq) + CO2 + H2O(g) Purpose The purpose of the lab was to relate the mass of a product occurring from a chemical equation to that of the mass which was originally predicted through calculation. It was also to learn and understand mole-mass relationships which exist in a chemical reaction and to interpret a balanced chem

Northern Lights The book I decided to read for the assignment is “The Northern Lights” written by Lucy Jago. This book by Jago details the true story of Kristian Birkeland, the man who put his life aside to figure out the secrets of the Northern Lights. This book describes the Journey of six men who climbed to the tallest peaks of Haldde Mountain to record and study the aurora borea

Euthanasia “To kill or not to kill.” That is the question that our society is faced with today. Throughout the past decade, euthanasia and physician assisted suicide have become controversial topics in every culture and religion in the world. “Euthanasia is defined as the act or practice of ending the life of an individual suffering form a terminal illness or an incurable condition, as b

The Human Brain The Human Brain The human body is divided into many different parts called organs. All of the parts are controlled by an organ called the brain, which is located in the head. The brain weighs about 2.75 pounds, and has a whitish-pink appearance. The brain is made up of many cells, and is the control centre of the body. The brain flashes messages out to all the

The Hot Zone The Hot Zone Just like a Hollywood movie, Richard Preston’s book The Hot Zone tells a story of an almost viral outbreak in suburban Washington, D.C.. Unfortunately, unlike a movie made for entertainment, The Hot Zone recalls the events that led to Americas encounter with the Ebola virus. Richard Preston takes you back to the origins of the virus to give you some histor

Lung Cancer Biological Basis Lung cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in one or both of the lungs. While normal lung tissue cells reproduce and develop into healthy lung tissue, these abnormal cells reproduce rapidly and never grow into normal lung tissue. Lumps of cancer cells called tumors then form and disrupt the lung, making it difficult to function properly. As wit

Nucleophilic Substition Reactions Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions: Competing Nucleophiles The purpose of this lab is to compare the nucleophilic abilities of the addition of chloride and bromide ions to the compounds of n-butyl alcohol and tertiary butyl alcohol, in SN1 and SN2 environments. This will determine which of the anions is the better nucleophile, in each mechanism.

The Issues Of Human Cloning The recent news of the successful cloning of an adult sheep-in which the sheep's DNA was inserted into an unfertilized sheep egg to produce a lamb with identical DNA-has generated an outpouring of ethical concerns. These concerns are not about Dolly, the now famous sheep, nor even about the considerable impact cloning may have on the animal breeding

The Human Genome Project The Human Gene Project There are a number of ways to investigate the structure, function and evolution of the human genome. These include examining the morphology of normal and abnormal chromosomes, constructing maps of genomic landmarks, following the genetic transmission of phenotypes and DNA sequence variations, and characterizing thousands of individual gene
