You and your friends were on your way home from the Mojave desert. Your car broke down 15 miles from the nearest town. You do not have any cell phone service in the area. You decide to walk to town in the middle of the heat. Along the way you happen to come across an old abandoned high school science laboratory. You decide to go inside and see if you can find some running water. You find a large bag of sugar and some lab equipment but no water. You remember from Ms. Duckering’s class the formula for table sugar ( C12H22O11 ). Please design a controlled experiment, hyothesis, dependent and independent variable, prodecure to extract the water from table sugar.

Simulating adaptations in a species in this activity, you will discuss in detail the adaptations in a species of rain forest plants. you will build a simulation that explains the changes in the traits of the plant population over 10 years. you will also establish a scientific explanation to justify the changes in the traits of the population, * time to complete: 1-2 hours part a an organism's adaptations are specific to its native environment. an organism that lives in a coniferous forest will have different adaptations compared to an animal that lives in a tropical rain forest. the following graphs show the temperature and precipitation throughout the year for two different forests: a coniferous forest in canada, and a tropical rain forest in belize. evaluate the graphs, and then explain why plants from these two ecosystems will have different adaptations. in your answer, explain the survival challenges that plants face in these two environments.

Consider the motion of the balloon and its air contents in terms of momentum. in step 1 above, the total momentum of the balloon and its contents was zero. recall that momentum = mv. both the balloon and the air inside it had a velocity of zero and therefore the total momentum was zero. now think about what happened when the air escaped from the balloon. a certain mass of air accelerated in one direction. in order to keep the total momentum of the system zero, the balloon itself (which has mass) had to accelerate in the opposite direction. use this scenario to you explain why the soda can rotates when the water squirts out of the escape holes. what was your hypothesis concerning the water-filled can? according to your data, do you think your hypothesis was correct? (be sure to refer to your data when answering this question.) summarize any difficulties or problems you had in performing the experiment that might have affected the results. describe how you might change the procedure to avoid these problems. give at least one more example of newton's third law in everyday life.

Some tools have graduations to show multiple measurements. for example, a ruler may have graduations for both millimeters and centimeters. when measuring the length of an earthworm, which graduations would allow for the most accurate measurement? millimeters centimeters decimeters meters
