Distinguishing Fire Ants from Common Ants

Distinguishing Fire Ants from Common Ants

A bite from a fire ant is quite painful, and feels much like pressing a lit match against the skin. While only about one percent of the human population is allergic to fire ant venom, multiple bites from a disturbed…

Understanding the Two Types of Weathering

Understanding the Two Types of Weathering

Processes that break down and weaken earth minerals are known as weathering. Over time, this can lead to erosion, in which huge sections of rock and stone are carried away, changing landscapes. Physical weathering alters the material structure of rocks,…

Understanding the Angles of a Quadrilateral

Understanding the Angles of a Quadrilateral

In order to solve many geometry problems, it’s important to understand the basics of angle measurement and the rules that all polygons follow. By calculating the sum of the interior angles for a specific polygon, missing angle measurements can be…

The Benefits of Potentiometric Titration

The Benefits of Potentiometric Titration

Many compounds, especially in pharmaceuticals, require high purity. To check for sample (analyte) purity, you must perform titration so that one volume of the solution reacts the same as another solution. You add measured increments of a titrant until the…

Regions of the World Featuring Sedimentary Rocks

Regions of the World Featuring Sedimentary Rocks

Geologists have categorized rocks into three different types. Igneous rocks are formed from magma or lava that is cooled to a solid. Metamorphic rocks are formed when other rocks of any type undergo heat and pressure to form a different…

Understanding Cell Specialization A Comprehensive Guide

Understanding Cell Specialization A Comprehensive Guide

Cell specialization, also known as cell differentiation, is the process by which generic cells change into specific cells meant to do certain tasks within the body. Cell specialization is most important in the development of embryos. In adults, stem cells…

Understanding the Features of Intrusive Rocks

Understanding the Features of Intrusive Rocks

Igneous rocks are extrusive and intrusive. Extrusive rocks are formed from magma above the surface, while intrusive igneous rocks form from magma beneath the surface. The cooling process may be fast or slow, and determines the color and texture of…

Exploring Seven Major Land Biomes

Exploring Seven Major Land Biomes

Biologists identify these 7 biomes by their individual and distinctive physical characteristics: Tropical Rainforests: Receive constant rain throughout the year, which makes these areas (usually located at the equator) lush with tropical plants, trees, rivers, streams and rich, fertile soil.…

Calculating School Grades by Percentage

Calculating School Grades by Percentage

Nothing is more stressful than worrying about your school grades. How well do you need to do on your final exam to pass the class? How do you even work it out? Calculating your school grades by percentage means combining…

A Science Fair Project Exploring Tooth Decay

A Science Fair Project Exploring Tooth Decay

Healthy teeth are vital when you chew food, which is important for digestion. They make it easier for our mouths to form words and – let’s not forget – they make radiant smiles. Because teeth are so important, tooth decay…
