Hot Salsa Experiment

Improved Essays
Introduction:
A couple of weeks’ prior, my lab partners and I examined mild and hot salsa, not knowing the purpose for the trial. As individuals we know that salsa will have our nose runny, eyes watery, some will break out and sweat. Although we know these things we never address the explanations for these reason why our body react a certain way toward salsa. I thought it was all right for a person to feel that way. However, it wasn’t that case so we did an experiment on the real reason behind why our body perform a certain way. For this reason, the guideline behind this experiment is to check whether every individual body temperature reacts the same. We never thought about spicy food can help our body in ways like in the treatment of dermatological,

When we put the class into two groups who would eat the salsa we will give the person three chips. Then we utilize two tablespoons of the mild and hot salsa for each person. Before eating the salsa each individual will take his/her temperature by putting the thermometer under the armpit before eating any salsa, until they get the average body temperature. Then, one subgroup will begin eating mild salsa and chips and the other sub group will begin eating hot salsa and chips. Once the individuals have begun eating, the people who didn’t eat the salsa would record his/her body temperature after every 1 minute for 5 minutes. When you finish the experiment you discover that the control group of the experiment is the mild salsa and the experimental group is the hot salsa. After you completed the experiment you will calculate the normal max temperature change for each sort of salsa, and compute the standard blunder on the mean (s.e.m.) for every salsa sort. Then finally each person would write their before and after information in the charts. The calculations should be out on the average and S.E.M and average today. When you have followed these steps a person should know the body temperature that salsa would affect every

    A possible error that could have been made was not doing at least three experiments. If more experiments were done, the information would have been more accurate. Another possible error was only using two liquids. If more than two liquids were used in this experiment, then the information would have also been more accurate. A major error in this experiment was using a different starting temperature for each trial.…

    As a small group of the class, we were put together to test one person's heart rate, temperate and breathing rate of the group. By this the subject (person doing the test and being monitored on) would be doing the harvard step test. The harvard step test was simple and effective to do to find out the heart rate, breathing rate and body temperature. In the small groups, we decided to do the experiment on stairs so the subject would simply step up one step and then step down again, and they would repeatively do this for 5 minutes, rest for 5 and then do it again another 2 times.…

    Scientific Validity of “Study links altered brain chemistry, behavioral impairments in fish exposed to elevated CO2” Coral reefs are having a problem with pH levels and they are dying some places around the world right now, because of it. This is not only affecting the coral reefs, but the animals that live in them and survive with them. There is a Scientific Study called “Study links altered brain chemistry, behavioral impairments in fish exposed to elevated CO2” which discusses the behavior and neurological impairments of coral reef fish due to more CO2 and acidic levels of pH. More CO2 causes lower levels of pH and makes it more acidic and very dangerous for fish. Overall this is a poor scientific article, because it has only one good source…

    It was a normal Tuesday at good ol’ Freeburg Community High School. Our rambunctious lunch group sat around the table to enjoy the lunch of the day, chili. Now you see, I had brought my lunch, but I wasn’t allowing that stop me from enjoying a steaming bowl of chili. My bowl of chili warmed my hands, heart, stomach, my esophagus when it was occasionally too hot, and eventually my lap. Between all of the jokes and laughter I hadn’t noticed that my hands were shaking a tad more than normal; if I had noticed, I would have done the smart thing and set my bowl down rather than hold it.…

    The experiment that I will be conducting focuses on how fast one tablet of Alka seltzer can dissolve in various temperatures of water. The core of this procedure is to determine the impact that temperature has on how fast something dissolves. My hypothesis for this experiment would be that the Alka Seltzer that dissolves the fastest would be the one that was placed in the water with the highest temperature. There will be controlled and manipulated variables explained throughout the experiment. The two main things used in this experiment will be the solute and the solvent, which is Alka Seltzer and water.…
