2020 Virtual Spring Student Showcase for Research and Creative Inquiry
In this lab, we will seek to demonstrate the Second Law of Thermodynamics by performing a series of dice experiments showing the tendency towards disorder and its correlation to probabilities.

The Objective of this experiment was to determine The Hubble constant.1 The Hubble constant is a ratio of the recessional velocity of distant galaxies to the distance that galaxy is from the Milky way. The constant can then be used to calculate the age of the universe. Doing this will allow us to compare our results with a more accepted quantity.

The objective of this experiment was to calculate the age of the universe. This was done by using provided astronomical data to calculate an experimental Hubble’s constant to which Hubble’s law was applied.

The purpose of this experiment was to calculate an experimental Hubble constant value and use that value to calculate an estimated age of the universe using data drawn from the Hubble Law Lab from the University of Washington. Both experimental values were then compared to the most recent accepted values respectively.

Hubble’s Law relates the distance and velocity of receding galaxies using a constant known as the Hubble Constant. This lab activity calculated the Hubble Constant and approximated the age of the universe using publicly available data, using Edwin Hubble’s original principles.

In this experiment, we will study the properties of entropy, multiplicity and probability using dice. We will roll 4 & 8 sided dice together and 4, 6, and 8 sided dice together for many trials and we will record the sum of the dice for each roll. We will then calculate each possible outcome’s expected multiplicity and probability of occurring. We can also predict each outcome’s expected entropy and compare these expected values of multiplicity and entropy to their actual values we found in this experiment. In doing so, we will be able to see the natural tendency of systems …

In this experiment, we analyzed the images and spectra of multiple galaxies and found the velocity and distance from Earth of each galaxy. Plotting the velocity against distance, we found a value for the Hubble constant using the slope of the trendline. This value was used to compute the age of the universe. Both the Hubble constant and the age of the universe were compared to the currently accepted values for consistency.
