Evolutionary Psychology (sparknotes.com) Evolutionary psychology uses evolutionary theory to explain similarities in psychological characteristics. According to evolutionary psychologists, patterns of behavior have evolved through natural selection, in the same way that physical characteristics have evolved. Because of natural selection,adaptive behaviors, or behaviors that increase reproductive success, are kept and passed on from one generation to the next. Mating Behavior

The periodic table is a very useful device for chemists and students to use. The periodic table is made of all of the elements that exist. For each element, the atomic number, atomic mass,the symbol, and the element name is in the periodic table. The Periodic table is organized in a way for us to easily tell which elements are metals, metalloids, or nonmetals. The state of the element is also sometimes included. The different groups (columns) have similiar characteristics with the other elements within the group. Group 1 is alkali metals, Group 2 is alkaline earth metals, Groups 3-12 are the transitional metals which also include the inner transition metals, Group 17 is the Halogens, and Group 18 is the noble gases.

Conservation of Energy Kevin D. Edgerton Objective: The objective of this experiment is to study the law of conservation of energy and see how the conservation of energy equation is used. . Data and Calculations: Part I: Bouncing Ball Mass of Ball 417.2g Ranger to floor distances 0.771m 0.778m 0.765m 0.769m 0.775m Average 0.7716m The Total Energy drops to near zero when the ball hits the ground. It does not violate the law of conservation of energy because the energy lost in the collision with the ground is not accounted for by the measurements of potential and kinetic energy. Because of this, the total energy decreases after each bounce. With a lighter ball there may be less energy lost during the collisions.

Three Important Periodic Trends Definition of Periodic Trend: The tendency of a certain characteristic of an element to increase or decrease as they progresses along a period or group on the periodic table of elements Definition of Term Atomic Radius - One half the distance between the nuclei of identical atoms that are bonded together. Picometers (pm) Ionization Energy - The energy required to remove 1 electron from a neutral atom of an element. kiloJoules per Mole (kJ/mol) Electronegativity - The measure of the ability of an atom in a chemical compound to attract the electrons of another atom in the compound. Trend Across the PT The atomic radii decreases as you move across each period, as you add more protons to help pull the electrons closer to the nucleus.

7 Siler Lael Siler Zepelin 4 AP World History 26 May 2011 Globalization: Changing the Nature of Nations Globalization has radically shifted from concept to reality. The nature of imperialism transitioned from neighboring groups conquering one another for territorial expansion to entire nations competing for global economic, political, and cultural power. Today, the exponential growth of technology and industry is creating one globalized economy. This global economy has found a way to transcend the boundaries large hegemonic powers historically could never unite, changing the nature of nations.

The Classical Period 1000 BCE- 500 CE INTRODUCTION The period marks the decline in river civilizations and a surge in population in three areas: China India Mediterranean (which includes the Middle East, Southern Europe, and Northern Africa) These civilizations proved to be highly durable; however, it does not reflect the history of the entire world. The Classical Period is composed primarily of empires and dynasties that boasted great power, religious ideas, and artistic ideas. Many social customs and diverse ideas found in our societies today can be traced back to this period.
