Latex Contraceptives Lab Report

1549 Words7 Pages

Introduction: Male condoms are the most easily accessible form as well as the most popular choice of contraception in South Africa. The cheapest and most popular material used to make condoms is latex but unfortunately some people are allergic to latex and believe latex condoms are unreliable. As a substitute, non-latex condoms are made from artificial polyisoprene in order to provide a different product with an effective result. There is a perception, which argues that one type of material is more effective and stronger than the other. This could determine whether the weaker material is invulnerable when tested under extreme yet realistic pressure. The aim of this experiment will therefore be to determine which condom material is strongest …show more content…

Connect the nozzle and hose pipe to the tap and ensure that water comes out the hose 2. Measure the temperature of the water using the thermometer, ensure the temperature is around the average temperature of water in a tap, about 10 °C to 15 °C 3. Place a few layers of insulation tap around the end of the hose pipe to ensure there are no rough or sharp edges exposed 4. Carefully remove one of the polyisoprene condoms from its packaging and dispose of the packaging (do not use your teeth for this) 5. Unravel the condom completely and place the open end of the condom around the end of the hose pipe over the insulation tape 6. Using the elastic band, secure the condom tightly to the end of the hose pipe 7. Place the large container beneath the condom that is now attached to the hose pipe 8. Proceed to turn on the tap to create a slow steady stream of water that will not tear the condom whilst it is filled, the exact rate off the water flow is irrelevant 9. Allow the condom to fill up with water within the large container and take not of the change in shape of the condom 10. Keep filling the condom until it bursts and immediately after it bursts turn the tap off completely and remove the hose from the large

  • Pillbug Lab Report

    989 Words  | 4 Pages

    Abstract: The main focus of this lab is on animal behaviors in terrestial isopods, also known as pillbugs. There are many purposes to this lab experiment. First, these pillbugs are put into four different types of enviroments, also known as chambers, light v. dark, hot vs. cold, moisture vs. dry, and lastly shelter vs. open. In these different chambers, there are 10 pillbugs, 5 placed into each individual chamber and then observed for up to 5 – 10 minutes. In this lab we observed that pillbugs prefer light areas, hot temperatures, moist environments, and lastly sheltered spaces.

    PROBLEM Does the Quilted Northern, Angel Soft, Members Mark, Cottonelle, Scott, or Charmin brand of toilet paper break apart the fastest in moving water? Does the brand Quilted Northern, Angel Soft, Members Mark, Cottonelle, Scott, or Charmin when wet hold the most pennies? Does the brand Quilted Northern, Angel Soft, Members Mark, Cottonelle, Scott, or Charmin hold the most pennies when dry? HYPOTHESIS My hypothesis is that Scott will break apart the fastest in moving water because Scott is one-ply and the thinnest of all the toilet paper. My second hypothesis is that Quilted Northern will hold the most pennies when wet because it is one of the thickest toilet papers.

An example of a organism who has multicellular cells are plants, animals, and humans. The main reason of why scientists have a hard time finding a good set of existing organisms to compare. Is neither the first set of organisms which is being compared is dying as fast as the second specimen is being examined or they just can’t find the right species.

    In our experiment, we examined the behavior of isopods by conducting the experiment based on our hypothesis: “If ten isopods are put into the test chamber, 5 in sand and 5 in soil, which environment will the pillbug prefer.” We hypothesized that the isopods would favor the soil more than the sand because pillbugs are typically found in soil and not in sand. Pillbugs are favored in soil because the natural role of a pillbug is to eat dead and decaying things but, in sand there are no nutrients available for pillbugs. Pill bugs are mostly found in moist environments, due to having gills, gills only function when they are wet so pill bugs will inhabit places in which air holds a lot of water

    In this lab, human error could have possibly been that the salt wasn’t fully dissolved or even the Kool-Aid wasn’t fully dissolved. To fix this next time, both mixtures can be stirred a little longer. A third human error could have been when putting 20 drops into the test tubes, some drops were bigger than others causing there to be more than mL of mixture in the test tube. At the end of the lab, a red and yellow M&M were used to do a home material test. I dissolved the color off the shell with warm water and placed a dot of each color onto a strip of chromatograph and placed them in two individual

    Biochemical tests are the tests used for the identification of bacterial species based on the differences in the biochemical activities of different bacteria. Bacterial physiology differs from one species to the other. These differences in carbohydrate metabolism, protein metabolism, fat metabolism, production of certain enzymes and ability to utilize a particular compound help them to be identified by the biochemical tests. Gram’s stain was originally devised by histologist Hans Christian Gram in 1884. Gram-positive bacteria stain purple, while Gram-negative bacteria stain pink when subjected to Gram staining.
