Description
This project made to make a design of asphalt roads of 4.27 km at Misibya- |Mwembe site in Kiogoro district, Kisii sector. The specific objectives of the study were to produces topographic map of the case study, to design suitable horizontal alignment, vertical alignment, cross sections of road which will facilitate these trucks and heavy vehicles and to calculate and specify the earthwork quantities (cut and fill volume). The topographic analysis of Kiogoro District identifies 4 distinct features: Areas of gentle slopes (less than 20 percent gradient) on the ridges and along the wetlands; areas with steep slopes (more than 20 percent gradient); linear ridges running along the length of the sectors; alluvial plains along the rivers Mwembe and Kiogoro. In this project, researcher collected data by using modern surveying instrument like total station, dump level et c. Laptop with engineering software CAD (computer aided design) which will occupy those topographic that for analysis and transformation to many formats. ArcGIS software for analyzing a spatial location and decision making after buffering the delimitation area for computing a number of people will be expropriated with a project AutoCAD CIVIL 3D which will be used to export and draw geometrical element of road which cross section, longitudinal section, plan view, and topographic map of the field. The average elevation of Kiogoro District is 1,000 m above the sea level. Mount Kisii, the highest point in Kisii, has an elevation of 1,853m and the highest spot in Mageragere Sector has an elevation of 1,810 m. Due to such hilly topography coupled with large scale deforestation, soil erosion and landslides in the District are key recurrent problems faced by the City, which requires adequate soil protection measures to address this issue. Focused on the analysis of finding, our objectives was successfully achieved and showed that the existing road elements do not meet the standard road design to be used due to its damages which are lack of drainage system and other items listed in this work. With design of geometrical element of Misibya- |Mwembe site in Kiogoro district, Kisii sectorasphalt makes the road usable in good conditions and if its maintenance is well done; handle travelling treats for users will achieve. For earthworks quantities, entered data in technical mapping system come across with a paradox phenomenon which issued by total station that affects of the road project implementation due to the increase of earthworks computation varied according to the use of different cross sectional intervals. The construction of this road is important to the Misibya- |Mwembe site. Although a high rate of development in this site, there still problems caused by inappropriate road designed which are inhibit access to social facilities and commercial activities. This road helps to overcome those challenges.

Determination of the amount of citric acid in pineapple fruit obtained from local market.- science lab technology research project
Citrus fruits like lemon, limes, oranges, watermelon, pineapple and grapefruit have the highest concentration of citric acid giving which is produced from their juice, these fruits are sweet and tangy flavor. Citric acid is natural component of fruits. The main aim for study was the determination of the amount of citric acid in pineapple fruit obtained from local market. Also the percentage content in the fruit juice, titration method was used to carry out an experiment. Sodium hydroxide was acted as a base a undergoing neutralization process in presence of an acid to fulfill the project. During the process of titration the average volume of sodium hydroxide used, the number of moles of sodium hydroxide and citric acid, unknown concentration used, and standard solution were obtained. Also the percentage content of citric acid (fruit juice) was obtained.

Determination of the concentration of citric acid in citrus fruit were obtained from Daraja Mbili Market-kisii County- science lab technology research project
ABSTRACT:
In this project, the passion fruit extracted was used to determine the concentration of citric acid in citrus fruit were obtained from Daraja Mbili Market-kisii County. The method employed was simple titration where 2M of sodium hydroxide solution of known concentration was titrated against unknown concentrated solution of citric acid extracted until the neutralization was complete between the two solutions and phenolphthalein indicator was used to detect the color change. And some of the the experimental errors were encountered. By determining the volume of standard solution and unknown concentration used in the titration process as well as the concentration of standard solution, the concentration of unknown was determined. Where the concentrations were calculated using the values from the tabulated table
