Laser Coolong of Gases


Read this article about cooling gases. It seems that scientists have figured out a way to almost instantly cool gases, almost like a "microwave refrigerator." Then write a paragraph that summarized the article. Paragraphs should be at least three well constructed sentences.

Then you should find an article about any other topic related to:
1. How light is produced. or
2. Properties of gases. or
3. Heat. or
4. Phases of matter.

and link to it. Finally write a paragraph summarizing the material in that article. Again, paragraphs should be at least three well constructed sentences.

Make sure you put your ID on your work. This project is due by midnight Sunday, 11/8. Remember, you are required to do either this project or the one that will came previously. If you do both, one will count for extra credit. If you did not do one on DHMO you are required to so this one. If you have problems, email me at aphsbio at gmail.com.

Dihydrogen monoxide


This is a web site about the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide. For this project you should explore the FAQs page and tell me what you think about DHMO. Then write a paragraph that summarizes the FAQ. Paragraphs should be at least three well constructed sentences.

Finally, you should research DHMO on the internet and tell me about the properties of this material that you found on other sites. Explain how the material that was on the FAQ was correct. You should discuss at least three factors that you found on the DHMO FAQ.

You do not need to include any links for this project. Please do not discuss your findings with other students until the subject comes up in class, after this project is due.

Make sure you put your ID on your work. This project is due by midnight Sunday, 10/23. If you did not do the last project you are required to do this one. If you do both projects one will count for extra credit. If you have problems, email me at aphsbio at gmail.com.
