Heat Conservation Advantages for Penguins When Huddling Aim and Introduction My aim is to find out the heat conservation advantages are for penguins are when huddling. I will be huddling boiling tubes (to represent the penguins) containing hot water (to represent the penguins' blood) and measuring the temperature over a period of time. I also had a control boiling tube on its own to see how the temperature is affected by not huddling. =====================================================================
breathing. On very cold days, as many as 10 penguins pack into every square metre of a huddle. This helps warm the penguins because they transfer heat between individuals, and also reduce their surface area significantly. On a functional level, huddling cuts the heat loss by as much as 50%, and enables them to survive the long incubation fast since the warmer they are, the longer their fat lasts. The temperature inside a huddle can be as high as +35 degrees Celsius. Penguins take turns to occupy
Investigation Into How Insulation Can Affect Heat Loss 1/ Huddling 2/ Insulation We will investigate Insulation 3/ Surface Area/Volume Things that could effect heat loss include: Conduction Convection What are they? Radiation We are going to do the following lessons in this order: * Planning * Planning and Trial * Observation * Observation * Analysis * Evaluation Planning In this investigation, we are going to investigate how insulation can affect heat
having escaped. They decide to keep an eye out for any dangers but all the talk of these “Ities” had got them just frightening each other even more. Raymond hears a sudden noise and the threat sends them running for cover in the long grass, huddling together as a group. After a while, they find out that the disturbing noise was in fact their friend, Peter, running through the woods towards them because of the sirens. Having left Angela’s pram behind, John and Peter decide to go looking
British held themselves as superior to the Burmese, they believed it was their duty to seize the inferior Burmese territory in the name of advancement. This facade of advancement proved shallow as the British impounded the natives, incarcerating "huddling [them] in the stinking cages of lock-ups" (Orwell 233). When the British conquered the Burmese land, they had no intent of improving the quality of life for the natives. Orwell notes the British Empire's apathy in regards to the inhabitants of the
Communication Between Patients-Clinician and the Interdisciplinary Team Patient’s care is dependent on patient -clinician communication and the interdisciplinary team communication. The purpose of this paper is to list the seven principles of patient-clinician communication and how they apply to my own patients. The paper will also discuss the three methods that are used by the interdisciplinary team to improve communication, and I will describe the method that I currently use on a daily basis.
Kole Minton General Biology 11/15/17 Ecosystem Paper The south pole is the southernmost point on earth and is located on Antarctica. Because Antarctica is centered on the South Pole it receives very little sunlight, and is the coldest climate on Earth. Most of the life in Antarctica is marine life, such as krill, seals, whales, and penguins. The land is so barren and unforgiving that almost nothing can indefinitely live there. Most of the humans that come to the South Pole are scientists studying
The area I had once lived in, was not exactly an ideal place for children to grow up. For me, though, the hazards of my neighborhood never seemed real and I had never found myself afraid for the safety of me or anyone I knew. I thought, as most children do, that I was untouchable, and no one would have the desire to hurt me in the first place. It seemed like no danger could touch me, because for all I knew, people only got hurt on TV. Despite this, my friends and I always seemed to whisper about
upsetting.” (Line 13). Orwell says it himself, “in a job like that you see the dirty work of Empire at close quarters.” (line 17). In fact, the Burmese has many reasons to be mad at the Europeans. When Orwell describes the prisoners, “wretched prisoners huddling in the stinking cages of the lock-ups, the grey, crowd faces of the long-term convicts, the scarred buttocks of the men who had been flogged with bamboos.” (Line 17). He felt “an intolerable sense of guilt.” (line 20). As a result, Orwell does feel
author, spent time showing the strong relationships between the animals. You could tell how much the other animals feared the pigs walking on two legs because the quote was “Four legs good, two legs bad.” In the book it states, “Amazed, terrified, huddling together, the animals watched the long line of pigs march slowly round the yard. It was as though the world turned upside-down.” This shows how scared, and surprised the animals were to see the pigs walking on their hind legs. Because one of the
Bilbo had just aroused. He hadn’t known where he was and he couldn’t see, as he was in a dark cave where goblins dwell. The hobbit was flummoxed and bewildered where his friends were and how he got here and how to get out. The questions just piled up in his head. Not knowing what to do next, Bilbo Baggins continued down a path within the dark cave. After a little while of rushing past the tunnel, he came across a shiny key. It was just lying there in the middle of the passage. So, he picked it up
The trip of a lifetime October 17th Hi my name is Nick Wolhafe and this is my first journal entry. I'm in 9th grade. Me and my class have been given the opportunity to go and climb Mount Everest . It's a very risky trip and you have to be fit and ready. So me and my class bike 10 miles a day and run 4. It will take us about 1-2 months to get to the top because we need to let our body acclimatize to the lower levels of oxygen of Mount Everest. Okay I'm going to go to bed and get some sleep for
BOOM!, BOOM!, BOOM!, explosions, ash, carbon dioxide and, magma going everywhere burning buildings and people, starting to kill people every second. This can only mean one thing the volcano is erupting and a bad one, this volcano is called Mount Vesuvius this eruption covered Pompeii with layers of ash and hardened magma until Pompeii was rediscovered as the result of intentional excavations in 1748 by the Spanish military engineer Rocque Joaquin de Alcubierre. There is a fiction and nonfiction
he PMG animal that I chose was a Mini Rex rabbit, I chose a rabbit because is my favorite animal, and also because when I was little I used to have a lot of rabbits in my house, and I chose this kind of breed because I went to like a big sell of animals and the coat of this rabbit caught my attention a lot. This Code of Care is going to be about how to treat a rabbit and also give some tips of how to treat them.The Mini Rex rabbit is a very cute animal because of its coat, the amount of energy they
Antarctica is the coldest place on earth, with temperatures at an average of -49°C, and it rarely ever gets above freezing. The reason why the Antarctic is so cold is because sunlight has to go through a thicker atmosphere to hit it as Earth is on an angle which also means the light rays are spread over a larger area than if they were hitting Antarctica directly. This means light is spread over a larger area thus not warming as much as it could. When sunlight does eventually meet Antarctica, a lot
The blow of the whistle the blast of the gun: two sounds that have controversial meanings. One initiates a long, back and forth rally of heart-wrenching skill and exerting talent while the other signals a clock dwindling down foretelling your strive to be the best. The sports of volleyball and track may seem similar, but in reality, they are on opposite ends of the spectrum. It’s game time: focus. These are the only words that float into the mind of a volleyball player anticipating the sound of
In the 1930’s Imperialism took the world by storm. Larger and more powerful countries were invading and controlling smaller, undeveloped countries. As a result tension is created between natives and the foreigners. In “Shooting an Elephant” Orwell’s use of irony and diction plays a key role in demonstrating the impact one's surroundings may have on their thoughts and actions. A person may feel the need to submit to certain actions or behavior based off of their surroundings. In “Shooting an Elephant”
In many human relationships, a power dynamic exists. The struggle to obtain a sense of dominance over others rests in human nature. Therefore, large groups of people can become subjugated by a power hungry dictator or group of people. George Orwell’s short story, “Shooting an Elephant,” exhibits such a dynamic between Imperial Britain and Burma. In this case, the British empire oppresses the third-world country of Burma by sending police officers to watch over them. However, one of the policemen
Throughout the story entitled The Odyssey by Homer, we learn much about the main character, Odysseus, including his flaws and perfections. Through his prolonged and adventurous journey, we are able to see the true Odysseus and his many qualities. Odysseus is cunning, courageous and determined, and these qualities help to show that Odysseus is a true, Greek hero. One of the first aspects that we, the readers, receive of Odysseus is that he is a rather cunning fellow. There are many instances in which
1. Background information about homeostasis: Homeostasis is the maintenance of a relatively constant internal environment within small tolerance limits, despite changes in the external environment. Homeostasis uses feedback mechanisms within the body to either counteract (negative feedback) or reinforce (positive feedback) a stimulus. These feedback mechanisms help to keep many internal functions such as enzyme pH, pressure and temperature within narrow limits known as the tolerance range. The tolerance
