Loss of habitat, climate change and UV radiation are just a few reasons for earths dramatic drop in amphibian's population in the recent years. Amphibians have lived on our earth longer then humans and adapt to a wide variety of habitats over the years. A recent study had proved that human neglect and ignorance has greatly impacted the amphibian population. In the remaining amphibian populations deformities such as extra eyes, or limbs have been reported in as many as 44 states. Some deformities are natural but in some areas up to 60% of amphibians have been reported ta have these defects. Our...

Title: The amount of heat energy given off by certain foods. Introduction: We decided to conduct this experiment so that we could find the amount of energy that is in certain foods by burning them and measuring the amount of calories released. By doing this I hoped to learn what kinds of foods would be the best to eat to make my diet more efficient. By finding the amount of calories released from the food in the form of heat energy I could find out which foods contained the most potential energy. Before I started the experiment I hypothesized that the peanuts would have the most energy inside ...
