We recently completed a lab in biology concerning diffusion. We placed half of a carrot in fresh water and half of a carrot in salt water. We observed that the carrot in the salt water lost mass, and the carrot in fresh water gained mass. One of the discussion questions is would you get the same results with a potatoe? I am not sure about the answer. My thoughts are that you wouldn't b/c of the different skins. Please help me out!

And the award goes......

Came across a particularly convincing illusion today. wierd eh? Our mind has more to do with vision than we think.

I have a chance for 750 USD to fly in a P51 Mustang for a half hour. Its one of my favorite planes from history, and there will be a restored one here in the area. What do you all think, is it worth it, would you do it?

Ok, so recently, Ive been recieving loads of mail from "Get rich off your opinions", and "Take a 1 min survey and get $10!!!" SPAM. I usually just delete them all. But when I upgraded my WeatherBug subscription, I was taken to one website for a Survey for Rewards program. http://new7.mysurvey.com/ Here's what Im wondering...are they legitimate? Do they actually give you a prize for getting some incredible amount of points? Has anyone here, or someone you know ever gotten anything?

1) Who owns scienceforums.com? 2) Where do we talk about architecture? 3) Can I give myself a custom title? 4) What is the ranking system? Like I'm a quark now, but what will I become? 5) What is a paid subscription?

I made this thread so we can all trade extra scientific 'stuff' that we don’t need anymore. You can post anything you’re willing to trade here including elements, chemicals, and equipment. You can also post if you’re looking for something specific but don’t see it listed. If you no longer have the item to trade please remove your post. If you see something you want pm the person with your offer unless the person specified what they want in return in which case you should pm them and make the arrangements. Ill start by saying that I have: Several feet of magnesium ribbon, and lab grade aluminum, lead, and copper shot. About 50 .05cm x 1cm x 1.2cm reagent…

Is there anyone out there that doesn't understand very much of anything on the various forums? if there is I would like to talk to you . I am incredibly confused by all this. If you're under 16 and dont get any of this please reply.

I dont know whether this is possible but I know with a lot of Messenger systems when you minimize it if somebody says something it flashes on the task bar. Many times I have forgotten that I was speaking to somebody after minimizing it only to find they have left. Is there a way to add this modification?

Who do you think will win. Bush or Kerry.

does anybody know where i can find directions to the bat cave?

What do I buy? A shiny new PC, all spiffy and prepped for half life2? Or a car? You see, I have a PC that while old is still serving me well. A little 700mhz processor, a 128 graphics card and 20gb hard drive. Nothing special, you understand, just happily chugging away. It's willing, if not to play the top end games, at least try. However, HL2 is coming. I sat down with my PC and we had a long talk, and it explained that it just couldn't do it. Understandably I was distressed and decided that I probably need a new PC. But hey, I also need a car. I don't have one you see, and it's a long cold winter to be standing waiting for a bus. On top of that, most of my fri…

Heres my attempt to create a mathematical version of the ryming thread. So basically rather than ryming you do something to the previous number to give a new number, then somebody does something to that etc. This may work it may not, please forgive me if it does not. We'll Start with 1 1/0.5= 2

Because they can, and you can't.
