Every year during winter months, icy surfaces create a dangerous problem for drivers and pedestrians. Icy roads and sidewalks can become very hazardous for travel. A solution must be implemented to mitigate risks associated with winter travel. This problem is relevant to the experiment since I will be testing different methods of melting ice. The solution resulting from the experiment can be used throughout the world to make our roads safer. The literary reviews for this experiment are from…

Can Salt Harm the Environment? For many years, traffic due to road construction has been viewed as different. Driving to work or travelling from place to another with daily traffic due to road construction is becoming a challenge to all American people. The main task for highway engineers in winter is keeping the roads clear and safe from snow. Engineers are obliged to choose construction materials that are environment friendly and ecofriendly. For decades, engineers used the road salt deicing…

Purpose The purpose of this lab is to investigate animal behaviors by diving into the world of ethology. There are two ways pill bugs will respond to environmental stimuli: Kinesis (non-directional response) and taxis (directional response). Kinesis occurs when organisms (randomly) move around quickly when they’re unhappy and slowly when they’re happy, which is best demonstrated when one lifts up a rock or other material that the pill bugs are under. In contrast to the simpler response that does…

Preparing Dilutions of the Silver Nanoparticles 1. Gather all materials. 2. Put on a pair of disposable gloves. 3. Make a paper towel damp with some 70% isopropyl rubbing alcohol. Wipe down the work surface with the rubbing alcohol-dampened paper towel. 4. Using a permanent marker, label the five baby food jars #1 to #5. 5. Using the 25 milliliter (mL) graduated cylinder, measure and pour 22.5 mL of distilled water (from a new, unopened container) into each of jars #2, #3, #4, and #5. 6. Using…

During the winter in some places it can get very cold, and it might even snow. People put many different things on the ground to make the snow melt, but which one really melts the snow the fastest? Does ice melt fastest with salt, sugar, or sand. There are many things that can solve this question. In order to see if something is soluble it needs to be mixed with a solvent (water). To be soluble means that it is able to be dissolved. There are three different possibilities that can happen.…

I. Science fair Question What material will make ice melt fastest? II. Background Research Did you ever wonder what makes ice melt fastest? This research paper is going to talk about how ice melt works. Terms that will be discussed in this paper will include freezing point, Phrases of matter, freezing point depression, and solution. Freezing point is the point when water turns into ice (What Makes Ice Melt Fastest). If you have ever lived in a cold climate, you have most likely have seen…

Background: Isopods, or what are often called pill bugs, are crustaceans. Isopods live in damp environments. They can be found under rocks, logs and in soil. In this lab, 10 isopods were given a choice between salt water or regular water chambers to test their preference. The results were recorded every 30 seconds over a period of 10 minutes. Problem: It is known that isopods have a preference for moisture.This lab will specifically test whether or not an additive will affect a pill bug's…

1. Existing knowledge, research and views: The separation of the sulfur and iron powder was accomplished through magnetism. When combining the sulfur and iron powder to form a mixture, a magnet can be used to attract the iron separating it from the sulfur. Unlike the iron and powder, the salt and sand were separated through filtration. This is a method which separates solids from liquids. In the experiment, the mixture of salt, sand and water are separated as it is poured through a funnel with…

1. In our notes, we reviewed the Major mineral: Sodium. We know from news and health professionals, our intake of sodium is well over recommendations for our bodies need. List three specific changes you could make to your diet to decrease your sodium intake. • Eat more fresh fruit and vegetables since they are low in sodium. I have also learned that canned and frozen fruits are also low in sodium. • When buying frozen vegetables I have learned that reading the label will help you to…
