The Effect of Temperature on Air Pressure
DESCRIPTION:
My project consists of a series experiments to determine the effect of air pressure in a given environment at various temperatures. The experiments I chose to conduct are:
1) Heat an ordinary pop can on a hot plate and then putting the can upside down in cold water to see the effect of a fast change in temperature.
2) Partially full milk jug with hot water, put the cap on tightly, and let it sit for one hour to see the effect of a slow change in temperature.
3) Setting a small piece of paper on fire and then putting it inside a plastic bottle. Before the flame goes out, a pealed hard-boiled egg will be placed over the opening.
PROBLEM:
The problem is to determine the effects of air pressure at different temperatures. Since we cannot see air, we will attempt to determine if air exerts a force?
HYPOTHESIS:
My hypothesis for:
1) the experiment with the pop can is that the can will crush because of a drastic change in temperature.
2) the experiment with the milk jug and the hot water is that the milk jug will remain the same.
3) the experiment with the egg and the bottle is that the egg will not be sucked in the bottle.
PROCEDURE:
For the first experiment the procedure is:
1) Heat an ordinary pop can on a hot plate.
2) After about fifteen minutes take the can off the hot plate and put it upside-down in a pan of cold water.
3) Record my observations on a piece of paper.
4) Write my conclusions in my science fair logbook.
For the second experiment my procedure is:
1) Get an empty gallon milk jug at room temperature.
2) Heat to water to just before the boiling point on a hot plate.
3) Fill the milk jug about quarter of the way with hot water.
4) Put the lid on tightly
5) Wait one hour and record my observations and conclusions.
For the third experiment my procedure is:
1) Get a medium sized bottle.
2) Peel a hard boiled egg.
3) Light a small piece of paper on fire and put it inside the bottle.
4) Before the flame goes out put the pealed egg over the opening of the bottle.
5) Record my observations on a piece of paper.
Apart of becoming a new patient at a dental office is taking an x-ray and some may have question along with taking an x-ray, like “will I be affected by the x-ray?” or “will I get cancer?”, “how long will it take” “are x-ray’s safe?”, the list goes on and on. So in this paper we will talk about different types of radiation affects such as affects on children and pregnant women as well as some things that may help reduce some of the radiation that may harm the human body.
Two equations were used in this experiment to determine the initial temperature of the hot water. The first equation
Stand back and wait until soda is done spewing liquid completely. (Do not move/touch soda while it is still spewing. This may change the results of the experiment.)

Finally, the experiment conducted in this report clearly shows that when a ball is dropped from a
6. Place the test tube in the beaker. Secure the test tube and thermometer to the retort stand using clamps. Begin heating the water bath gently.
The solutions with ice and salt were all able to drop to a temperature below 0°C within 10 minutes, while the ice solution never dropped below 0°C across all 5 trials. This indicate that salt is the variable that contributed to the decrease in temperature since the initial temperature of the thermometer, the amount of ice, and the room temperature, were all held constant.
Radiation has always been in everyday life even before Roentgen discovered x-ray. The mountains give off natural radiation, other forms of radiation are coal burning power plants, x-rays from a TV, and an airplane ride. The average dose from background radiation is about 360 mrem every year. There are two types of radiation, nonionizing and ionizing radiation. Examples of nonionizing radiation are microwaves and radio waves broadcasting. Ionizing radiation refers to gamma and x-rays. Ionizing radiation means that the rays are able to remove an electron from the atom then ions can be formed. The ions can cause damage when reacting with other atoms. Cells are able to be repaired if low dose are received. However, if cells get a high dose, the cells will be damaged or possibly die. If the cell is damaged permanently then it is referred to as a mutated cell.

Computerised Tomography (CT) scanning is used to recognise causes of abdominal pain and allows doctors to ‘see threw’ sufficient organs. An X-ray of the body is taken and combined with computer generated images to produce a two dimensional picture of the internal body (The American Association of Physics Teachers, 2007). In addition to the use of radiation in X-rays, radioactive materials are also useful in the context of nuclear medicine. In this case the radiation is often referred to as sample of radionuclides and is administrated into the patient through oral techniques. The medication works by forcing the patient’s body to become radioactive for a short period of time. The presence of the radioactivity in the patient’s body allows doctors to determine whether or not the person’s organs are functioning correctly. As well as the functioning of the body’s major organs, conditions such as interrupted blood flow and risk for infection can also be tested.
Music has been influential and involved in nearly every aspect of Japanese culture, as many Japanese folk tales were centered around music and had musical aspects. This is especially apparent in the tale Princess Hase. In the story of Princess Hase, she is a extremely skilled koto player. There have many many different musical instruments, art forms, and musical genres that have been pivotal in Japanese culture and influential in other cultures. Not only were these central to Japanese culture, but with Japan's spread it has wound up on other continents as customs. The Japanese have managed to not only find a way to incorporate music into their lives as a form of entertainment, but have also incorporated music into their daily lives and into their religious lives. The emphasis that the Japanese put on music have put on music has only brought more success to their traditional items. For the Japanese, music is not just a hobby or entertainment . But it was so much more than that. They used it on their daily lives. There are many items that, have even had a major impact on American society and American culture. For example, karaoke would be unfathomable had it not had been initiated in Japan and brought to America. Once it was brought to America, it was spread worldwide to the level that it is today, with many people participating in it to this day, to the point where there are karaoke places where karaoke is the sole attraction in the karaoke bars. The popularity of these musical instruments have also sparked interest in other instruments. For example, a lot of Japanese people learn how to play instruments, particularly stringed instruments. This is apparent in that the three instruments that were picked according to Japanese music.

In 2012, eighty-four percent of Santa Clara University graduates who responded to a survey from the Santa Clara University School of Engineering obtained one or more internships during their undergraduate studies. Of those who responded, eighty-two percent were employed full-time after graduation earning a median salary of $62,500 (Santa Clara University). This research exhibits that internships can be an important strategy in the efforts toward job search for both students, as well as for employers looking to hire valuable employees. As defined by InternNE.com, an internship is any carefully monitored service or work experience that may be evaluated for educational credit in which an intern or student establishes learning goals and reflects on his or her learning experience in relation to achievement of the stated goals. Internships should first be examined that, when implemented at fullest potential, these opportunities can provide companies and students with a competitive edge in today’s business world. Subsequently, it can be shown that internships assist organizations and companies with temporary or seasonal project and task completion. Lastly, internships will be clarified as to how they allow students to gain valuable experience before entering the workforce. From reviewing an ample amount of research, internships are beneficial and advantageous to the success of a young student, as well as companies.
