The movie Flubber and 9th grade physical science discussed at lot some of the same topics. They both talked about polymers, physical properties, states of matter, catalyst and different types of energy. In this essay I will explain the movie Flubber, while still making the connections to this year's physical science class.
In the beginning of the movie, the professor mentions a “propulsive polymer”. We have learned about polymers in chapter twenty-four. We learned that a polymer is a large molecule made up of smaller molecules; which are monomers. Monomers are linked together. The monomers must have needed to be in a perfect combination to have such unique properties, to create flubber. This makes flubber seem to be a fantasy object. …show more content…
We learned what synthetic means in chapter twenty-five. It is made at 77 Kelvin, which is the SI unit for heat. This was taught to us, in the beginning of the year in chapter one. Flubber is moldable, foldable, gullible, elastic, ticklish, and it can shape shift. Flubber is also ductile, which means it can be drawn into wires, this was taught to us in chapter nineteen. We know the properties of flubber, because when the professor first discovers the Flubber, he lists all the physical properties he could. The professor also says that Flubber is an elastomer. An elastomer is a natural or synthetic polymer having elastic properties, such as rubber. Flubber is also a light green substance. One hypothesis as to why this is, is: the temperature in which the flubber was formed affected the color of the substance when it was first …show more content…
During the basketball game the professor put small amounts of flubber on the player's shoes, and his hand cream on their hands. This helped the team win their game, because the players were able to easily jump over their opponents, and dribble the basketball very fast. He also made a new form of transportation, a flying car. It seems to be a very stable way to travel, but it did not make much sense. The reason for this confusion is because the flubber was in the hood of the car, causing the car to fly, but the car should not have been balanced. The professor did sell his design to the Ford, later in the
