Goals The goal of the lab was to investigate the properties and structure of an unidentified compound that was discovered in a local landfill. The group was called in to help determine the chemical and physical properties of the compound so we can let the people of the town know so it can be taken care of properly with or without further precautions to be taken. Another goal of this project was to devise the synthesis of the unknown compound. Experimental Design In order to determine the correct identity of our unknown compound, we first started with a couple preliminary tests, which include physical state and smell.…
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.…
The Stinky Meat project, was conducting investigation scientifically evaluate the decomposition of three types of meat, hotdog, ground beef, steak, and the goal of the experiment; to see which frozen meat will decompose the fastest. Therefore, over a 20 day period with the frozen meat left outdoors in its wrapping on a plate, and a couple of rainy days, in this condition the ground beef started to decompose the fastest, and started growing maggot eggs. While the steak only looking like beef jerk, and the hotdog hardly changed, only to be missing after a few days after looking like they been cooked, while at this time the meat created a foul stench. In conclusion, the research findings was that maggot turn the ground beef unrecognizable goop…
The four stages are: Birth – two years - sensorimotor stage, two years to seven years – preoperational stage, seven years to eleven years – concrete operational stage, and eleven years to fifteen years – formal operational stage. This paper will address a classroom designed to benefit the development of toddlers who are in the preoperational stage (Lefrancois, 2012). Children in the early preoperational stage are extremely egocentric; that is they are unable to think about things from any point of view but their own (McLeod, 2010). Toddlers believe that everyone else sees, feels, and thinks the exact same way as they do.…
The texture of the rough candy is hard and unappealing to your fingers. The touch is completely unexpected from the sight of its sugary bright green exterior. When you try to squeeze it, it feels as though it's a dense latex sponge with sugar on the outside. The package smells like a brand new vinyl shower curtain straight from the factory.…
The gun ejected the bullet out of the barrel. The kid got cut by a rusty knife and the doctor gave him a tetanus injection. The lawyer had an interjection to the cast about how the murder weapon was used.…
Lately in school slime was the big boom. Kids would make all kinds all slime with glue, soap, and some with borax. I not into that whole thing mostly because it can stick to your finger and I hate that feeling.…
The underlying focus of Miasma theory relied on the theory of bad air caused by the environment. The new environments of the tropics being explored by the western world and the new environment of cities created by the industrialization in the nineteenth century, provided new types of bad air, and thus best explained the emergence of diseases as epidemics. Malaria became a major problem in the tropics, and Cholera became a major problem in the cities. The mechanism of spreading for cholera and malaria, were believed to be best explained by the proposed Miasma theory with the disease being caused by the air. In the case of cholera, the sewer system gives off the bad air, and in the case of malaria, the standing water gives off the bad air.…
Eating dog food for dinner. What a revolting idea to many, but in Ann Hodgman’s “No Wonder They Call Me a Bitch”, that is exactly what our minds palate is in store for. Hodgman spins a tale of selecting many different brands of dog food to try out as her bemused and hungry dog looks on. She…
The model that best explains Bayard's move in "The Odor of Verbena" is Frankfurt's volitional model. In the chapter, Bayard was told by Ringo that his father was killed by Mr. Redmond. He then had to determine whether he was going to be the man he wanted to be, or the one society wanted him to become, "At least this will be my chance to find out if I am what I think I am or if I just hope; if I am going to do what I have taught myself is right or if I am just going to wish I were. (Faulkner 215). Bayard's secondary desires were to kill Redmond, or to let him live.…

I sat across the table from my very first client, frightened and confused. I was a brand new graduate who had landed my first career position quickly, but was I really ready for what was in store? My client tearfully informed me that her two year niece that she was caring for had begun to smear feces around the home and my client was at her breaking point. The look in her eyes was one that I will always remember as she looked to me for answers that were just not there. I spent months working with this family as their case manager: setting up services, connecting resources, and making home visits to provide support to the family.…
I would choose to give up my sense of smell. This seems like the most sensible choice to me as it is far less traumatic than the sudden loss of eyesight or hearing. While all five senses are typically vital to survival, domesticated species and humans can typically survive losing a sense without any serious repercussions. We even have the ability to improve certain senses that are not up to par, such as eyesight. Anosmia – the medical term for loss of smell – is commonly associated with illnesses such as the common cold.…
It was important to keep the amount of glue, borax, and water constant throughout the experiment. In an experiment conducted in class it was hypothesized that the more borax added the denser the slime will be. Slime was introduced by Mattel in the winter of 1976. It was made from guar gum and borax. It was a green goo that had a semi-solid form.…
