Science Experiments

Experiments often conducted by students to test different scientific theories and hypotheses

11,111 Questions

Is universal indicator paper the same as blue litmus paper?

No totally different, universal indicator is a mixture of chemical which shows the precise p.H of a substance, blue litmus paper reveals whether the substance is acidic or alkaline.

Electromotive force is measured in?

As it is nothing but work done per unit charge, it is measured in volts

Why should you stand up while doing experiments?

So that you can move away easily if something goes wrong.

How do you make bubbles last longer?

If you have stronger soap, your bubbles will last longer.

What are some good titles for science fair experiments with dry ice?

Use modeling clay to shape a volcano, then fill it with water and when you are giving your presentation, drop dry ice in it, it will begin to make fog.

What happens when you pour some alcohol on your palm?

its simple , your blood pressure goes high - NOT

Your palm will feel cool as the alcohol evaporates.

Is concrete setting a physical or chemical change?

It would be both. It's a physical change because it is changing state and a chemical change because water is being evaporated.

What mold faster bread or banana?

Bread typically molds faster than bananas due to its higher moisture content and softer texture, providing a more conducive environment for mold growth. Bananas have a thicker skin that acts as a natural barrier against mold, while bread's porous nature allows mold to thrive more easily.

rain water

it is used as neautral on the ph scale

Heating

Is some creatures habitat

Cleaning

Hope this helped ;) xxx

The amount of product formed as the result of conducting an experiment is referred to as the?

How much products is collected during a chemical reaction is called the yield. You can calculate your %yield by dividing your yield by the theoretical yield and multiplying by 100.

What factor is kept the same in a scientific experiment?

All variables except for the independent and dependent variables should be kept the same. The other two will be changed by a fixed amount and by an unknown amount to be discovered during the experiment, respectively.

What are three types of orogeny?

Continental-continental, Oceanic-oceanic and Oceanic-continental convergent boundaries.

Why does salt water evaporate slower than fresh water?

The specific heat capacity of water is about 4.18kJ/kg*K while the specific heat of seawater is about 3.95kJ/kg*K

Specific heat capacity is a measure of heat required to increase temperature of something by Celsius or Kelvin.

Since water's heat capacity is great than that of seawater, then it takes more heat to bring its temperature up

Is conditioner a compound element or mixture?

Conditioner is a mixture. It is made up of a variety of ingredients such as water, emollients, surfactants, and preservatives. These ingredients are combined together to create the final product.

What forces act on a frictionless air puck as it moves across a table in a straight line?

The main force acting on a frictionless air puck moving in a straight line across a table is inertia, which keeps the puck in motion. Additionally, there may be forces like gravity and normal force acting on the puck, but these forces do not affect its horizontal motion since the table is assumed to be horizontal.

What are the applications of the simple pendulum experiment?

Examples of the application of compound pendulum theory to the practical measurement of the moments of inertia of human beings, farm tractors, and sailing boats are presented. Suggests developing laboratory experiments to measure moments of inertia of hockey sticks, golf clubs, and frisbees.

What is the difference between descriptive and inferential?

Both descriptive and inferential statistics look at a sample from some population.

The difference between descriptive and inferential statistics is in what they do with that sample:

  • Descriptive statistics aims to summarize the sample using statistical measures, such as average, median, standard deviation etc. For example, if we look at a basketball team's game scores over a year, we can calculate the average score, variance etc. and get a description (a statistical profile) for that team.
  • Inferential statistics aims to draw conclusions about the population from the sample at hand. For example, it may try to infer the success rate of a drug in treating high temperature, by taking a sample of patients, giving them the drug, and estimating the rate of effectiveness in the population using the rate of effectiveness in the sample.

Please see the related links for more details.
All statistical tests are part of Inferential analysis; there are no tests conducted in Descriptive analysis

· Descriptive analysis- describes the sample's characteristics using…

o Metric- ex. sample mean, standard deviation or variance

o Non-metric variables- ex. median, mode, frequencies & elaborate on zero-order relationships

o Use Excel to help determine these sample characteristics

· Inferential Analysis- draws conclusions about population

o Types of errors

o Issues related to null and alternate hypotheses

o Steps in the Hypothesis Testing Procedure

o Specific statistical tests

Why is it important to design experiment to test a problem in science?

Because experiments can prove your theories, and if you are not documentating the experiment properly, other scientists might think it's not valid.

Furthermore you are screwing up your theory if you don't make precise data collection, and calculation from your experiment, the theory won't be proved right.

What material did Rutherford use in his famous experiment?

Rutherford's experimenters were Hans Geiger, and Ernest Marsden, both of whom went on to have worthwhile science careers. The metal foil used in the Rutherford experiments was gold, for this foil amy be made extremely thin by careful beating, whilst still being imperforate.
