Calculating Volume from Density

Calculating Volume from Density

Density measure the amount of mass in a given volume of substance or how much material is in a given space. The density is constant for a substance at a given temperature since increasing the mass of a sample will…

What Comprises the Rungs of the DNA Double Helix?

What Comprises the Rungs of the DNA Double Helix?

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) contains all the codes necessary for life to continue. Within the rungs of the DNA molecule lies the instructions for cells to reproduce themselves and to reproduce the life form. This tiny spiral-shaped ladder contains the codes…

Creative Science Fair Project Ideas Focused on Rocks

Creative Science Fair Project Ideas Focused on Rocks

Budding geologists can use rocks as the basis for several interesting science fair projects and experiments. Finding rocks in the area where you live allows your project to have significance to your local community whereas using rocks from various farther-away…

Understanding the Role of Water in Temperature Regulation

Understanding the Role of Water in Temperature Regulation

Because water can absorb and transfer heat well, the human body uses it to stabilize temperature. Water has a relatively high heat capacity, meaning it can absorb a lot of heat before its temperature rises. This trait allows the water…

Calculating the Field of View in a Microscope

Calculating the Field of View in a Microscope

Compound light microscopes are valuable tools in the lab. They magnify our ability to see in detail by up to 1,000 times, allowing us to study things as small as the nucleus of a cell. With them, we can determine…

Calculating the Area of a Circle

Calculating the Area of a Circle

A circle is a two-dimensional object, which means that area is measured in units squared, such as square inches or square centimeters. To find the area of the circle, you only need to know the radius. The radius is the…

Converting Centistoke to Centipoise

Converting Centistoke to Centipoise

Viscosity is an important parameter in fluid dynamics – so important that scientists working in the field define two different kinds, each with its own units. A common unit for measuring dynamic viscosity is the poise (P), which is equal…

How to Make Objects Float in Water

How to Make Objects Float in Water

Objects float when the volume of water they displace is less than the volume of the objects themselves. When objects sink, the volume of water they displace is greater than the volume of the object. The principle may seem relatively…
