    Borax is a naturally mined chemical, which has very low danger levels, therefore it is a very safe material to use in everyday tasks (wellnessmama.com 2016). In this experiment, borax is used to bond a polymer in cornstarch called amylopectin to a polymer in glue, called polyvinyl (http://www.hometrainingtools.com/a/make-a-colorful-bouncy-ball , 2016).

The borax also plays an important role in the chemical reaction, the borax is the ingredient that bonds the two polymers together, and keeps them together during impact. Hypothesis If the ball bounces higher when more cornstarch is added, then the polymer bonds are stronger because the cornstarch is what makes the polymer bonds that give the ball its…

Free will is defined by our textbook as “the power of acting without the constraint; the ability to act at one's own will, a gift from God’.
