The use of technology has created a huge advance in scientific understanding. This video shows scientists ability to examine "ordinary" occurrences and see what is really happening is extraordinary.For this project first tell me what you think of the video. Did it give you an appreciation for the complex interactions that we usually miss?
Next find a link that shows one of the topics following and link to the article and then write a paragraph that summarizes the article. Paragraphs should be at least three well constructed sentences.
1. Some equipment that is used to advance science.
2. A way that water does not act typically like you would expect, if it were "just like other materials".
Make sure you put your ID and class section on your work. This project is due by midnight Sunday, 1/31. Remember that you need at least one project out of every two. If you do both projects one will count for extra credit. If you did not do the previous project, you must do this one.
If you have problems, email me at aphsbio at gmail.com. Make sure that you tell me what your problem was, and you can include your completed project.
I thought the video was very interesting when it showed the water droplets bouncing on the surface of the water. This video makes me want to look at other small things in slow motion that we usually take for granted.
ReplyDelete5 really weird things about water...
What I learned from this website was that water's formula is not actually H2O but is more like H1.5O. What I also learned was that water has "memory" and no matter how much you dilute it, water will always retain particles of what was previously dissolved in it. Another weird thing about water is that hot water freezes before cold water does because of the "Mpemba Effect". This site also contains a great video of what Dr. Bein was telling us about in class about the freezing of waterbottles in your car.

I think that this video is beyond amazing. It is kind of unbelievable an, it reminds me of a show I saw which showed a drum stick falling to the floor. When they slowed it down to fractions of a second it showed it wobble back and forth. That show was very similar to this video.
ReplyDeletewater facts
This article is about how crazy water is and it tells interesting facts about it. One is that it is strange how ice floats because the solid state of most things are denser than the liquid state which would make it sink in its liquid form. Evidently water is less dense in its solid state rather than in liquid state. This is truly amazing.

That video was one of the most interesting things I've ever seen. I love how we have the technology now-a-days to capture such amazing things that we would never be able to see,enjoy, and learn more about than if we didn't have the equipment.
ReplyDeleteCamera used on Time Warp
The Photron Fastcam SA1 is the camera they use to capture the amazing footage on Time Warp. The SA1 can capture 675,000 fps at the lowest resolution and 5,400 fps at the highest resolution. Being able to show 5,400 fps they can see things at an extremely slow speed with so much detail of what is going on. High speed camera's are very expensive, the SA1 can cost $5k-$10k depending on the size of the hard drive you want with it.

This video I thought was really cool. It showed you something that you don’t normally notice. I thought it was cool that water actually jumps on each other before it settles into being one thing.
ReplyDeletewashers
This article shows the importance of the washing machines in laboratories. They may seem not to be important but it turns out that they really are. They stop the contamination of different chemicals. They can also help the scientist using the containers from becoming sick from whatever used to be in the containers.

The video of the water drop was amazing. I would never have thought that the drop would float and not go straight into the big water bath. The camera technology that captures this must be awesome.
ReplyDeleteTelescope
This site explains everything about the Hubble Space telescope and how important it is to science.The telescope is orbiting the earth which makes the quality of the images better because the light going through the atmosphere distorts the image. The hubble telescope has allowed scientists to view our universe in unprecedented detail so they can make observations. Over 6,000 scientific articles have been publushed on the information gathered by the telescope.

I thought the movie was amazing and extremely interesting. It is amazing that something that is happening everyday and that we think is so simple can actually be that complex and extraordinary. I would have never guessed or thought that a water drop actually floats on top of water before becoming small enough to pass through. Yes this video definitely gave me an appreciation for these kinds of things.
ReplyDeleteFACTS ABOUT WATER
This article describes some of the really weird and odd things about water. One of them being that hot water freezes faster than cold water because of the Mpemba effect. Another is the super-cooling of water. When nucleation starts then water would "instantly" turn into ice. Third is that at a temperature of less than -135 degrees water turns into a “glassy water” a solid with no crystal structure. Fourth at the level of attoseconds (10-18 seconds) a weird quantum effect happens and the chemical formula for water isn't H2O. It's actually H1.5O! This is the quantum properties of water. Lastly the article talks about if water has memory.
