Abstract In this study, I determined the average amount of growth that occurs when coleoptiles are exposed to different amounts and concentrations of IAA. I tested the hypothesis if more auxin is given then the plant will experience a larger growth. The tips of the coleoptiles were cut and then placed in different amounts and concentrations of IAA, ranging from .1ppm to 1000.0 ppm, and set in the dark for one week. They were then pulled out of darkness and the growth of each coleoptile was recorded. Results showed that group four (decapitated coleoptile in 1.0 ppm IAA), had the largest average...

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 ...
