    Contributions of Physical Activity in the Elementary School Setting

    Contributions of Physical Activity in the Elementary School Setting 1 Physical education in the elementary school system is an essential curriculum for the development of all children. Early physical education classes provide children with a process for progression from the random play stage to the organized game and eventually structured learning. Throughout this process, children learn the value of group dynamics. Values such as sharing, team play, communication and respect for others become common practice.

  • Enzyme Lab Using Jello

    Enzyme Lab Using Jello

    Enzyme Lab Using Jello INTRODUCTION: Enzymes are known as protein catalysts. The name protein catalyst suggests that most enzymes are made of proteins. A catalyst is a substance that speeds up chemical reactions without being consumed in the process. (Giuseppe, M 2002, p.69). After a reaction has been catalyzed, the catalyst can be used again to catalyze the same reaction. Enzymes reduce the activation energy (minimal energy) it takes for a reaction to take place.

    Physics Coursework Theory - Resistance of a Wire

    Theory behind my experiment Thickness (cross sectional area of the wire), length, and temperature all have some effect on the amount of resistance created in a wire. Another factor is the conductivity of the material we are using. Some metals are just more electrically conductive than others. As long as I use the same type of metal for each wire, my experiment will remain fair. Cross Sectional Area The thicker the wire, the less resistant
