1. Is it safe to assume that the heat flow of the coffee-cup (qcalorimeter) calorimeter is zero? Why or why not?
2. The literature value for the specific heat of the metal, antimony, used in the experiment is 0.21 J/ g•K. How does your calculated data differ from the literature value? Cite possible sources of error.
3. What would be the effect in the calculated specific heat of the metal if:
a. a lower initial temp was used?
b. a higher initial temp was used?
c. a different metal (with the same initial temp) was used? Explain.
Since maam wasn’t here today, she assigned us some stuff to do…
Group yourselves into 5 groups, 6 people each.
Bring articles on Tuesday about the topic which will be given to your group. (The topic will be chosen at random/draw lots.)
Topics:
1) Poverty and development – Marckie’s group
2) Environmental Crisis – Elysse’s group
3) Freedom and Social Contract
4) Social Contract  Human Rights – Mickey’s group
5) International Conflict/War – Malaine’s group
Edit: added group assignments.
BIG EDIT: Freedom and Social Contract is one topic, and is given to the last group (whomever’s left); and added the topic Human Rights.
Answer on 1 whole sheet of pad paper, to be submitted next meeting.
Â
1. How do neurons (nerve cells) transmit information?
2. Modern medical technology allows us to see which parts of the brain are working as we do different activities. How do you think this technology can help scientists research the brain? How can it help people with brain damage or disease?
3. What part of the brain is responsible for learning new motor skills? Which routine activities do we “memorize” so well that we can perform them on “autopilot”? Why is it important that we can do these things easily without thinking?
4. Why do you think that one-fourth of our brain is devoted to vision and to processing the things that we see? How would our lives be different if the same percentage of our brainpower was devoted to hearing? To touch? To smell? To taste?
5. What do you think human beings would be like today if we had never developed opposable thumbs? Would human society have ever developed? If so, what things would be different?
6. How are memories formed? Speculate about why humans usually can’t remember anything from the first moments – let alone the first few months and years – of their lives.
7. Human beings have more complicated social relationships than other animals. We also have more complex brains. How would these two factors be related? Why would we need more complex brains to help us deal with other people?
8. What effect does alcohol have on your brain?
9. Why is consciousness or awareness considered an emergent property?
Now that the festivities are over, let’s get back to work. Please check the STR Unit website for the format of the research proposal. This is a third quarter requirement so robo people no excuses yet. The consolidated draft is due on Monday. Those who have submitted as of today get an additional 5%. Those who will submit within this week will get an additional 2%.
In addition to the contents indicated in the website, include a page entitled EXPECTED RESULTS. On this page, you will discuss what you expect to measure (eg your variables and how they will be measured). You will also indicate the type of statistical tests you intend to use and how you expect the results to come out.
NOTE:Â You might have more variables or more exhaustive discussions than this.
Just to update you guys if you haven’t read your email:
