These constellations are centered on the Earth’s apparent path around the Sun and they are divided into 12 segments called signs. These signs include Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, and Cancer. In Astronomy they all correspond to specific dates and signify a way to judge the location of the Earth is in its rotation, but in Astrology these signs hold very significant meanings to some
Place a dot on the piece of paper at the point where the laser light originates from the pointer and where it leaves the refraction cell after passing through the water. 6. Use a ruler to draw a line from the points placed on the paper to the point where the parallel lines intersect. 7. Use a protractor to measure the angle from the reference line to the lines drawn in step 6.
Jellyfish can be found in any ocean and or sea. Jellyfish comes in many colors, such as pink or orange. They vary in size and some can be the size of a human. Jellyfish are members of the cnidarian or stinging animals. Jellyfish have a bag of cells in the inside and the outside.
Glue the bottoms of the petri dishes onto the PVC tubes. In Class: Make the Kaleidoscopes 1. For each kaleidoscope, remove the protective film from the faces of three mirrors. 2. Gather the mirrors in your hands, long edges together.
Grossmont College Astronomy 112 Professor Clayton Pulsar Lab Write-up Vocabulary Crab Nebula: The expanding remnant of the supernova observed in 1054 ad, lying in the constellation Taurus at an approximate distance of 6500 light years. Declination: The coordinate on the celestial sphere exactly analogous to latitude on Earth; measured north and south of the celestial equator. Dispersion: The separation of a beam of light into the individual wavelengths of which it is composed by means of refraction or diffraction. Electromagnetic Spectrum: The entire array of electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic Radiation: Radiation consisting of oscillating electric and magnetic fields, namely gamma rays, X-rays, visible light, ultraviolet and infrared radiation and radio waves.
Unit 11 – AO1 – The Universe and the Big Bang Introduction - This AO explores the parts that make up the universe and how these parts tie in to each other to make up the world we live in. Check List - This assignment requires the following tasks to be completed: 1. Features of the Universe * The Universe * The Big Bang Theory * Stars * Galaxies * Constellations * Nebulae * Planets * Asteroids * The Sun 2. Life Cycle of a Star * Explain each of the 6 stages of a star’s life cycle. Include the name given to the star for each stage 3.
The difference is the buoyant force FB=Wout – Win. Finally we calculate percent error between the theoretical and experimental value for each shape: % error=(Measured – Theoretical)/Theoretical x 100%. In the next part of the lab, we compare the predicted and the measured capacity of a tuna can boat. The predicted capacity is calculated to be 0.183kg, and then we load the boat until it sinks and subtract 0.001kg to get the measured capacity. Finally, we analyze the errors in both parts of the lab by propagation by substitution and compare the theoretical-experimental values using errors.
Dan McKenzie went on to further explain sea floor spreading, being able to explain why new crust was made at mid oceanic ridges. He used his knowledge of thermodynamics to come up with a model of the
This means that they use other means to trap suspended food in the water in order to be digested (Lab 7 Manual: Mollusca). One of the most intriguing aspects of cephalopods and E. scolopes, in particular is their intelligence. With a centralized brain, the largest of all invertebrates, and highly developed eyes and other sense organs, they are able to remember and learn by example or through trial and error (Nyholm, S.V., and McFall-Ngai, M.J. 2004). Cephalopods differ from other mollusks in having a distinct head, marked off
Segment 2: Life As We Know It (8 min.) Description Examine a scientific theory about the potential for life on Earth, and explore an underwater region that defies the rules. Pre-viewing question Q: What kinds of things are necessary to sustain life on Earth? A: Answers will vary. Post-viewing question Q: What are hydrothermal vents?
