Lab #1 What Difference Does Milk Fat Make?
Materials
aluminum pie pan wooden splint toothpick liquid dish detergent whole milk food coloring (4 different colors)
I gathered the materials and then poured whole milk into a shallow aluminum pan. The milk came to a depth of about 1 cm. I then added a few drops of water-soluble food colorings in the outer edge of the pan. The drops of different colors were placed at these hour positions on a clock: 3, 6, 9. And 12 (Bodine, 2014).
Next, I dipped a toothpick into detergent and just touched the surface of the milk right in the center of the container, but I held the toothpick still in that place for a while. Soon, the food coloring on the surface of whole milk seemed to sort of dance and move around (Bodine, 2014)..
The fat globules in the whole milk holds tight to the dish soap, forming a sort of bond that pushes away the food coloring and the water in the milk as the bonds form (Bodine, 2014).. Just to test the theory about the fat and dish soap bonding, I tried different types of milk. With 2% milk, there was some activity of the dish soap, and with 1%, there was even less. Skim milk did not produce the effect at all. I also tried soy milk and almond milk,...
When I tried half-and-half, the activity of the dish soap and the fast globules was exaggerated beyond what I saw with whole milk. The hypothesis of this experiment is that the nature of dish soap causes it to bond with fat (or grease, as the dish soap advertisements claim). A dish soap that functions as promised in the ads should produce a lot of activity with the fat globules, which is nicely revealed by the food coloring in the watery portion of the milk (Helmenstine, 2015).
Lab #2 Measuring the Metric Way
Estimate each of the following dimensions in meters, decimeters, centimeters, or millimeters. Then get a measuring device (like a yard stick that also has metric units or a tape measure that has metric units) and determine how close your estimate comes to the actual measure.
Object Estimate Actual Measure
Your height:
Estimate = 150 centimeters
Actual height = 167 centimeters
Your front door height:
Estimate = 175 centimeters
Actual height = 213 centimeters
Your arm length (shoulder to finger tip)
Estimate = 80 centimeters
Actual height = 91 centimeters
Your neck…

ELLs to Learn Kinematics: A Phenomenological Assessment This study aims to discover the effective methods of teaching English language learners (ELLs) the basics of kinematics in an introductory course to physics. The students chosen from a selective sample had no incoming knowledge of kinematics and their language skills were limited. The teacher utilized three different methods and tested them in a phenomenological manner, using qualitative and quantitative data to analyze
Theory Development Nature and Use of Theory in Academic Research Corley and Gioia (2001) call theory the, "currency of our scholarly realm" (p. 12). The authors further explain that theoretical contribution is a requirement for a manuscript to be considered for publication. It appears that all scholarly writing hinges on the theoretical worthiness of the material. Corley and Gioia defined theory as a statement of concepts and their interrelationships that together, demonstrate
Researchers have an occasion to further organizational science and to make research practical by producing information that can impact changing organizational forms and circumstances. Pragmatically, academic researchers are not likely to get access to a company that is going through change unless the practitioners believe the research will be helpful (Gibson & Mohrman, 2001). There have been a number of calls to augment the significance and effectiveness of organizational science
NIn spite of touch being very significant as a communication means, very little is known on why and when touch takes place and what can be deduced when it takes place in opposite-gender or same-gender interactions. Studies focusing on this topic concerning gender and touch have had a focus on touch occurrences that are observed, those that are reported, the beliefs people hold on touch meanings, the perceptions of observers
