Measuring Water Conductivity Using a Multimeter

Measuring Water Conductivity Using a Multimeter

By touching the negative and positive leads of a multimeter that is on in the resistance setting allows you to measure the conductivity of water, a test of its purity. When water conducts electricity, it is made possible by water…

Calculating Running Average

Calculating Running Average

An average is a number that shows a middle or normal value for a set of data. It is calculated by adding all the data points then dividing the total by the number of data points. A running average is…

Understanding Why DNA Serves as the Blueprint of Life

Understanding Why DNA Serves as the Blueprint of Life

Every living organism depends upon its proteins for its existence. In many organisms, proteins form the very structure of the living creature, but even in plants — where the structures are built more from sugars — proteins perform the functions…

Common Uses of Yeast

Common Uses of Yeast

Yeast is a single-celled organism that reproduces asexually and has been used in baking and brewing for thousands of years. There are at least 1,500 species of yeast, all of which are technically living organisms. Yeast occurs naturally in the…

How to Connect Resistors in Parallel

How to Connect Resistors in Parallel

Resistors are electronic components whose main purpose is to help control the amount of current in a circuit. Their property is that of resistance; a high resistance means a lower current flow, and a low resistance means a higher current…

Understanding the Life Cycle of Mud Daubers

Mud daubers are a type of solitary wasp common in North America. They generally grow to be ¾ to 1 inch long and can be dull black, iridescent black, or black with yellow markings. They can be identified by their…

Ways to Enhance the Power of an Electromagnet

Ways to Enhance the Power of an Electromagnet

Electromagnets work just as well as permanent magnets. In fact, they are even more useful, because you can turn them on and off. You’ll find electromagnets in hard drives, speakers and even in sophisticated equipment like MRI machines and CERN’s…

What is the Key Primary Producer in Marine Ecosystems?

What is the Key Primary Producer in Marine Ecosystems?

At the base of every food chain lie primary producers: organisms that turn sunlight into chemical energy and later become food for consumers that can’t manufacture their own. The major primary producers in most marine ecosystems are microscopic plankton, tiny…
