Calculating Volume in a Wire

Calculating Volume in a Wire

Even though you can bend and twist it into various shapes, a wire is basically a cylinder. It has a circular cross-section with a specific radius and has a particular length. That’s all you need to calculate its volume, using…

Growing Potatoes in Water for a Science Project

Growing Potatoes in Water for a Science Project

Growing a potato is fun, since you can practically watch it grow before your eyes. You can grow a sweet potato, a white potato or start both at the same time to learn the differences. You can keep a journal…

The Distinction Between Weathering and Erosion

The Distinction Between Weathering and Erosion

​Weathering​ and ​erosion​ are processes by which rocks are broken down and moved from their original location. The difference between weathering and erosion is based on whether a rock’s location has changed: Weathering degrades a rock without moving it, while…

Comparing Adding Machines and Calculators

Comparing Adding Machines and Calculators

The adding machine was, in many ways, a predecessor to the calculator. The earliest versions of the mechanical adding machine became available for purchase in the late 19th century, with the ten-key model (one key for each number) becoming a…

Subatomic Particles Understanding Particles Smaller Than Atoms

Subatomic Particles Understanding Particles Smaller Than Atoms

Atoms represent the smallest pieces of matter with constant properties, and are referred to as the basic unit of matter. However, scientists have discovered that atoms are not the smallest particles in nature. Despite their minuscule size, a number of…

Calculating the Thickness of Aluminum Foil

Calculating the Thickness of Aluminum Foil

Aluminum foil, an everyday item used to keep food safe in the kitchen, is possibly the thinnest material in your home. Manufacturers of aluminum foil often provide the width and length of the foil roll on the package, but the…

Understanding Catastrophism in Biology

Understanding Catastrophism in Biology

Biology, the study of life, began as a study of the forms and functions of existing life, mostly plants and animals. Georges Cuvier, an 18th century French scientist, realized through his studies of animal bones and fossils that some forms…

Characteristics of the Desert Biome

Characteristics of the Desert Biome

A biome is an ecosystem that includes specific characteristics relative to temperature, climate, plant life and animal life. A desert is just one of eight major biomes on Earth. Though some of the Earth’s biomes look very similar to each…

What is the Lifespan of a Bee Indoors?

During the summer months a beehive can house up to 35,000 bees, according to the British Beekeepers Association. The number drops to 5,000 in the winter months. All bees have antennae, two or three pairs of wings, segmented bodies and…

Calculating the Wronskian

Calculating the Wronskian

In mathematics, the need sometimes arises to prove whether functions are dependent or independent of each other in a linear sense. If you have two functions that are linear dependent, graphing the equations of those functions result in points that…
