Investigating the effectiveness of antacids Introduction Heartburn indigestion is caused by acid from the stomach irritating the upper digestive tract For those who suffer regularly treatments are available to . Exploring gas pressure. The pressure of the atmosphere is not the same in all places – it varies with height.. High up a mountain the atmospheric pressure is much lower than at sea level.. In space there is no atmosphere and so there is no pressure.. Investigating chemosynthesis. Most living organisms depend on . sunlight. as their ultimate source of energy.. Green plants use sunlight to make food by . photosynthesis. .. In the darkness of the ocean depths there is no sunlight, but many organisms live there.. Exploring the movement of water and minerals in plants. Water is needed in cells to support the plant and to . photosynthesise. . Minerals in the soil dissolve in water.. How do plants get the water and minerals they need? How do they move through the plant?. Calculating pressure. Calculating pressure is important to engineers.. For example, the foundations of a building have to carry the full downwards force of its weight.. There have been cases of buildings collapsing when the pressure on the foundations was too large.. Knowing how pollination leads to . fertilisation. . It is a pollen grain from a sunflower.. Pollen comes in a variety of shapes and sizes. The variety means that you might be allergic to one type but not another.. Exploring the importance of minerals to plants. All plants require essential elements that are not supplied by photosynthesis – minerals that are found in soil and absorbed by the plant through its root system.. Exploring Magnets. Magnets have many effects, sometimes surprisingly strong.. They have many uses including computer hard drives, loudspeakers, credit card strips, magnetic fasteners and compasses for navigation.. Analysing . adaptations . for respiration. They are both structures that transfer energy from type to another. .. Mitochondria provides energy for our . cells.. The power station provides energy for our homes. Understanding electrostatic field. Charged objects can affect their surroundings even when they are not in contact.. Sometimes people believe that they can ‘feel’ electricity in the air. The idea of an electrostatic field helps to explain this.. Understanding anaerobic respiration. Plants and microbes, like animals, sometimes need to respire . anaerobically.. As . in animals, this process uses glucose to release energy. .. But . the products of anaerobic respiration in plants and microbes differ from the products in animals.. Explaining static charge. In ancient Greece, people started to put forward ideas about atoms.. They thought that atoms were the most basic particles and that they could not be split further.. It was not until the 1800s that ideas really developed beyond this.. Understanding . distillation. Distillation is used in making perfumes, fuels (such as petrol) and alcoholic drinks (such as vodka. ).. It . is an important separation process involving heating and cooling.. The heart is odd one out. The heart is made from cardiac muscle. The bicep muscle (in the arm), the calf muscles ( in the legs) and the diaphragm (in the chest) are types of skeletal muscles.. Investigating muscle strength . Gemstones, such as amethyst, are crystal that formed deep in the Earth’s . crust.. Water . dissolved salts and as this solution cooled over thousands of years, the precious crystals formed.. Introduction.
