How To Build A Pond
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 314.... the surroundings higher ground. Especially reminiscent of natural ponds are large plant's that leaves overhanging the water's edge, and plants with long thin, grassy foliage that grows in the shallows. These will all help to cover the water edge, which is almost never seen in a natural pond. Most nurseries sell aquatic plants. A pond that is meant to look natural requires much less maintenance than a formal pool, were clean, clear water is generally preferred. If the site has a low area, a pond is a good choice in almost any climate. Natural ponds will also suit almost any arc .....

A Critique Of The Stanford Experiment
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 592.... booked, after that they were told to put on prison uniforms and
then they were thrown into the slammer (in this case a simulated cellblock
in the basement was used). All of the participants in this experiment at
first were thought to be similar in behavior but after one week, all of
that changed. The prisoners became "passive, dependent, and helpless."
The guards on the other hand were the exact opposite. They became
"aggressive and abusive within the prison, insulting and bullying the
prisoners."
After the experiment was finished, many of the mock guards said
that they en .....

Wavelength Of 10 Or Higher And 11 Down. Gamma Rays Are Produced In Labs
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 646.... in welded structures. Gamma rays are used
to kill pesticides and bugs in food. Gamma rays are also used in nuclear
reactors and atomic bombs.
Gamma rays are often used in the food industry. The radioisotopes
preserve foods. Although the rays never come in contact with the food, Beta
radiation kills various organisms such as bacteria, yeast, and insects. Gamma
rays are sometimes used in science. They are used to detect Beryllium. They also
played a very important role in the development of the atomic bomb.
Gamma Rays can be very dangerous to use or be in contact with. Gamma

Eugenics
Number of pages: 6 | Number of words: 1506.... century, a man named Francis Galton gave eugenic thought great emphasis.3 Yet it was not until Gregor Mendel’s theories on genetics were rediscovered by Charles Davenport in 1901 that the ideas of modern was given any credibility.4 Davenport conducted experiments that proved what Mendel had said years before in his laws of genetics. Davenport, however, took it another step. He extended Mendel’s laws to include characteristics such as pauperism, alcoholism, and the popular term of the day, “feeblemindedness.”5 Davenport also connected behavior to race, class, and pedigre .....

Black Holes 3
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 1072.... fuel is gone, the internal pressure of the star drops and it can no longer support its own weight. In a monstrous explosion, the outer layers are thrown off. And, at this same moment, the core collapses. This can happen rather quickly because gravity can crush an object 10,000 miles across to an object only 10 miles across in about one second.
During the time that a black hole is created, the star shrinks down to an infinitely small and infinitely dense point know as the singularity. At this point, all we have ever known about the universe breaks down. Around the singular .....

Genetically Altered Foods
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 528.... of concern has come from one certain crop and that is maize, which was
altered to an extent. The development was done by a company known to be Swiss,
called "Ciba-Geiby". That which was debated dealt with the Advisory Committee
on Novel Foods and Processes (ACNFP) stating that "A gene resistant to the
antibiotic ampicillin used in an early stage of the developmental process, could
theoretically be passed to man via bacteria lodged in the gut of animals which
eat the maize unprocessed (559)". In response to this attack, the company said
that there would need to be a great amo .....

Photosynthesis
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 752.... three sets of plants and one set with no food. I
will water the plants all the same amount and let all the plants get the same
amount of sun, then measure the height of all the plants at the end of six weeks
and record the data.
The first step of photosynthesis is the absorption of light by a
chlorophyll molecule. "The energy of the absorbed photon is transferred from
one chlorophyll molecule to another until it reaches a site called a reaction
center....One oxygen molecule is produced per eight photons absorbed." (Alberty
708) James Huheey, professor at the University of .....

Do Cleaning Chemicals Clean As Well After They Have Been Frozen
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 423.... its potency prior to
freezing. Accordingly, two test sets were created by the researcher. The purpose
of the test was to determine how well the chemicals could break down household
grease before and after the substances were frozen. The first test set would
focus on unfrozen chemicals, while the second was set up for previously frozen
chemicals.
The Test:
To start the experiment the researcher fried four pieces of bacon until
there was enough grease in the skillet to perform the test. He then put a
quarter teaspoon of the grease onto two nine by thirteen casserole dishe .....
