Countermeasures for climate change: a comparative study of South Korea and Taiwan
You will design an experimental set up to measure enzyme activity over time, determine the optimal amount of enzyme amount and the range of substrate concentrations over which an enzyme assay can be used.
Successful designs may allow you to measure Kmand Vmax for Baker’s yeast Catalase and determine the specific activity
- Describes the popular kitchen chemistry experiment
- For kinetic measurements you would need to modify this What parameters? Why?
A Modified Demonstration of the Catalytic Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide
- This article describes a safe version of the popular “elephant’s toothpaste” demonstration
- For kinetic measurements you would need to modify this What parameters? Why?
What effects can you measure?
- How will you measure and document the rate of decomposition
Experimental plan:
- An informal proposal describing what you are planning to do
- List what you want to measure
- Explain how you want to measure it, will you need to calibrate your equipment? If yes, how will you do it?
- Plan how you will be documenting it (number of trials)
- Lay out how you are planning to analyse the collected data
- Think about how you will be presenting your results (tables, figures)
- Can include flowcharts of the procedure and pictures of the proposed set up
In the 2020 climate change performance index by Germanwatch, South Korea and Taiwan won 58th and 59th place among 61 countries, showing extremely low performance on addressing climate change. Even though environmentalism has been evolving since the mid-1980s along with democracy in South Korea and Taiwan, since both countries put their priorities on economic development, they have been dealing with climate change poorly. Thus, this study will investigate their climate policies and movements, compare what are the differences, and suggest what can be done. 1.Introduction 1) Background of the study (climate change status quo, why is it challenge for the world? Global countermeasures for Climate Change such as Geneva, Kyoto and Paris, and its evaluation, what an increase of one-degree cause? ) 2) Climate change background in South Korea and Taiwan (how environmentalism has evolved and their performance) 3) Similarity between South Korea and Taiwan (GDP, region, democracy, political status…) 4) Statement of problem (objectives) 5) scope of study 6) significance of study 7) limitation of study 2.Literature Review 1) what is climate change? 2) Climate policies in South Korea ( what have they done, and what are their goals) 3) Climate policies in Taiwan 3.Research methods and theoretical approach 4.Results of Research 1) Comparison 5.Summary and Conclusions
