Animal Testing

The experimenters compared their results to those experiments conducted at the University of Utah and the Argonne National Laboratory in which beagles were injected with Strontium 90. They concluded that the dose needed to produce “early death” in fifty percent of the sample group differed from test to test because the dogs injected with .....

Archeology Glorified Grave Robing
.... before ours.
One has to think to himself how he would feel if, hundreds of years in the future, his remains were dug up, studied, and placed in public museums for anyone to view. Certainly this idea is not pondered in everyday life, but it must be considered in order to fully understand what archeology truly is. Information provided by archeological findings, while interesting and informative, is not crucial to present-day life, and, therefore, archeology is an unnecessary part of society.

Fuel Cell
.... At the anode, hydrogen fuel is changed into free electrons and protons. The free electrons are sent in the form of usable electric current through an external circuit. The remaining protons are sent through the membrane electrolyte to the cathode where they combine with oxygen and the electrons from the external circuit to form pure water and heat. Fuel cells are placed into a fuel cell stack to provide the amount of energy required. Each fuel cell produces roughly 0.7 of a watt of electricity.

Acid rain makes the trees lose their leaves, so when the trees try to regrow their leaves, buds
come instead, this process is called a panic shoot (M. 15). Large land areas which used to be
