NICOTINE

Nicotine is a chemical that contains nitrogen, which is made by several types of plants, including the tobacco plant. It is also produced synthetically.
Nicotine is both a sedative and a stimulant.
When a body is exposed to nicotine, the individual experiences a “kick.” This is partly caused by nicotine stimulating the adrenal glands, which results in the release of adrenaline.
This surge of adrenaline stimulates the body. There is an immediate release of glucose, as well as an increase in heart rate, breathing activity, and blood pressure.




Nicotine causes a wide range of side effects in most organs and systems.

#The circulation of the blood can be affected in the following ways:
-an increased clotting tendency, leading to a risk of harmful blood clots
atherosclerosis, in which plaque forms on the artery wall
enlargement of the aorta

#Side effects in the brain include:
-dizziness and lightheadedness
-irregular and disturbed sleep
-bad dreams and nightmares
-possible blood restriction


#In the gastrointestinal system, nicotine can have the following effects:
-nausea and vomiting
-dry mouth, or xerostomia
-indigestion
-peptic ulcers
-diarrhea
-heartburn

#The heart can experience the following after taking in nicotine:
-changes in heart rate and rhythm
-an increase in blood pressure
-constrictions and diseases of the coronary artery
-an increased risk of stroke.

THE EGG FLOAT TEST!

The Egg Float Test Together, and with the help of a small bowl of water, let’s save millions of perfectly good eggs from being thrown away. Egg shells are very slightly porous. Over time, air seeps into the shell making it lighter than it was, and, when it is old and no longer good to eat, it floats. Hence, the egg float test.

PhET INTERACTIVE SIMULATION!

DAY 05/30 CHALLENGE #e-learning, distance learning & remote learning. The next update for teachers’, this is an excellent simulation I have come across till now, here the subjects are not limited, you can browse any subjects Students with disabilities can miss out on opportunities for authentic science and mathematics experiences due to a lack of accessible STEM resources. Thanks to PhET SIMULATION this is a solvable problem. I have used one simulation during my class lecture and it was a super fun experience!!! Through inclusive design approaches, that are creating accessible, interactive simulations that allow students to experience science and mathematical practices in new ways. It includes: verbal descriptions and feedback, the use of sound and music to represent foundational science and mathematics relationships, and alternative navigation that moves beyond mouse or touch inputs. PhET are ...
