Investigation on the shape and size of limpets on a sheltered rocky shore called Frenchman's steps beach.
Investigation on the shape and size of limpets on a sheltered rocky shore called Frenchman's steps beach. PLANNING: Aim: To investigate the height and base of limpets at two different vertical heights from chart datum, on a sheltered rocky shore. Introduction: The aim of this experiment is to determine whether there is a difference between the height and width of the limpets, at 2 different points on a beach profile in their vertical range. Limpets are distinctive animals, which have oval shaped shell; with the peak more-or-less near the centre they are best known for their ability to cling onto rocks. Limpets are species, which come from the super kingdom, called Eukaryotea, and followed by the kingdom called Animalia down to the phylum called Mollcusca and finally it is part of the class called Gastropods, (14.4). Gastropods, which are shelled animals with a single large foot that encases the animal's stomach. The limpet has a soft body, with a large foot and a small head with two antennas. They have a brown and white coloration on their shells, which are hard and cone-shaped with a rounded, off-centre point. Special muscles attach the limpet to its shell at the base of the point. The colour of the limpet changes as you go from the upper part of the shell to the middle of the limpet, the underside of empty shells are bluish white with a dark brown centre. Below is a

Foremost, I needed to distinguish if the stair total had something in common. As I believe this would enable me to find a pattern, which would eventually develop into an algebraic equation. To be able to do this I had to experiment with the grid, by shifting the 3-step stairs into different direction et cetera. In addition I would've seen if the pattern and algebraic equation would've work in different size grid such as 9cm by 9cm or in different size stair shape such as 4- step stairs. In order to find the pattern I will have to draw various grids, this will enable me to eventually discover the pattern. Firstly, for my first experimental grid I decide the start in the bottom corner and randomly select a few other 3-step stairs. 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 90 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 80 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 70 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 60 51

Knotting Special!
Knotting Special! The investigation of knots began as a response to Lord Kelvin's belief that atoms were knots in the aether, and that chemical properties of the atoms were related to the type of knot. In 1877, P.G. Tait began an attempt at enumerating the knots, and it took him (and work by C.N. Little) 23 years to enumerate the knots up to ten crossings. (Livingston, 1993, p1-2) The focus then, is to create a list of all the knots, and to include each knot only once. A knot may appear to be completely different to another, but in fact may be the same knot, deformed by several twists and turns of the rope forming the knot. In this project, we focus on some of the earlier attempts to distinguish knots, from the trivial looped string (the unknot), and from other knots that may appear to be the same, but may not in fact be. The project passes through the following areas: Reidermeister Moves - the rules for deforming knots Knot Colouring - A basic attempt at distinguishing knots Labelling mod p - A more elaborate 'colouring' procedure Alexander Polynomials - The first polynomial used to distinguish knots Joining of knots - what happens to their Alexander Polynomials Kauffman's construction of the Jones Polynomial However, Lord Kelvin was mistaken about atoms being knots (although physicists now have something called Super-string theory, which may evoke memories of
Used second hand cars
Introduction: I have been provided with a set of data, which altogether includes the factors that affects the second hand car prices of the listed hundred cars. Such as *Age, *Mileage, *Owners, *Insurance group and *MPG to name a few. You will see a spread sheet of this information on the following pages. My task is to relate the prices of the second hands to number of variables. Also so how and state why they are important elements. I must then interpret my results and finally come to conclusion from them. Many problems of statistical nature are made clearer when they are put in the forms of hypothesis. A hypothesis is generally considered to be a statement which may be true, but for which no proof has yet been found. I am going to choose o less than three factors, which I feel has an affect on the prices of the second hand cars. To start my project I have come up with three responsible questions, which I believe, could help me with my investigation. The questions I have decided to experiment are: . Does the age leave a huge impact on the second hand value? 2. What about make? Would you rather spend more money buying a cool car rather than buying a new car which is cheaper and less stylish? 3. How many people care about the mileage? Is there any disadvantage to the mileage? From the alternative data base given to me I will randomly choose 3o cars and separate them
admin in business
Introduction This coursework is for Unit 20, which is also called Administrative Operations (or Admin Ops) for the Business AVCE course. In this coursework, I have to show I' am capable of showing a variety of administrative skills for a project of my own choice. I have chosen to base my project on the Old Bailey. In order to carry out my administrative skills, I had to carry out an activity such as, setting up and participating in an away day trip to an organisation for at least six people, in which I' am the key administrator. I also have to show knowledge and understanding of the roles of administrators in organisations. In this coursework I' am required to work in a group of people that have specific roles in the group and plan and organize (or administer) our own event for AVCE Business Studies Year 2, unit 20 - Admin Ops. Our event has to be well planned and multi-layered, as this will allow each individual in the group to act out their role. My group is built up of 6 people. They are, Rachel, Chris, Sophie, Asif, Ashraf and me. We have all worked together in Unit 1 (Business At Work) and have all obtained experience of producing information. Examples are in, Unit 3, 4 and 10 (Marketing, HR and Customer Service). We all set each other positions or roles in the group in order to get our event started up. Below are my group's roles/positions. * Rachel - Boss *
Mayfield data
Mayfield School Mathematics Statistics Coursework Introduction I have been assigned to complete a statistical investigation around the fictitious data of Mayfield High School, which has data of a real school. I will be completing this investigate for the subject Mathematics: Statistics. By completing the task that I have been set this will help me achieve my aim which is to gain a General Certificate of Secondary Education in this very particular subject. I will be using various techniques that I have recently studied and learnt and captured to produce a successful & efficient coursework. Alternating Statistical Methods will be used throughout this assignment to prove if my hypothesis is either correct or incorrect. Task/Situation I have decided to investigate majorly between the relationship between the height and weight of the pupils and to tell whether or not there is any correlation between them. I will take many actions as possible in achieving pure and efficiently results to meet the needs and requirement of my assignment. To meet my particular aim I will use many statistical interpretations and methods to help me form sufficient conclusions on what I have gained and obtained from the evidence that I will be collecting for this project. My Hypothesis A hypothesis is the outline of the idea/ideas which I will be testing and below are the following hypothesis I have
Although I have noticed a trend between height and weight it is not completely clear, this may be because the data is rather biased.
Although I have noticed a trend between height and weight it is not completely clear, this may be because the data is rather biased. For my first part of the investigation I used data of 30, although I did use separate girls and boys data, it is not completely reliable as it was a mixture year groups. Looking at the data now, I can see that there is not many year tens or elevens, the older people who I feel will be heavier and tall than the year groups who appear frequently in the sample, year sevens and eights, the younger ones. This shows the original samples to be a biased sample. To eliminate this bias I have taken a 10% sample for each year group and also the different sexes within the year groups, giving me ten different sets of data. I predict to see that there will be a much clear trend between height and weight between girls and boys, it will be much clearer to see that boys are taller than girls and boys also weigh more than girls. To do this I will draw cumulative frequency tables for the girl's heights and weights, and then the same for the boys for the year seven data. Then I will transfer the data on to cumulative frequency graphs and compare the data. I will repeat this for all of the year groups.
Maths Data Handling
Introduction The line of enquiry that I have chosen is 'The relationship between height and weight'. To investigate this line of enquiry, I am using secondary data (that I will acquire from the internet) so that there will be no bias and unfairness that is obtained through the collection of primary data in questionnaires. The data that I am using is on a fictitious school, Mayfield High School, but the actual data has been obtained from a real school. This is useful as there will be five age groups that are considered in the whole investigation. However the age groups that lie below the age of 11 and age groups that lie over the age of 16 will not be thought of in the investigation as it stretches out of the age boundary in Mayfield High School. There are 1183 pupils in Mayfield High School and I will be using the following pieces of data on each pupil: - year group, age, gender, height and weight. This means that I will have a total of 5915 datum points to work from. This is obviously too large so I will use a sampled piece of data of 100 pupils. Since I will be using stratified sampling I will need to know how many boys and girls there are in each year. The table below shows the exact figures. Year Girls Boys Total 7 31 51 282 8 25 45 270 9 43 18 261 0 94 06 200 1 86 84 70 I will need this table throughout my investigation so that I can construct
