Tantrum Toys Case Study

Improved Essays
This study carried out by this group of inventors studied the bubble solutions of Tantrum Toys and its competitors. Tantrum Toys wanted to compare their solution in a neutral setting free of bias. The solutions in question were placed in similar numbered containers with no other kind of label. The goal was to find which solution produced the largest bubble. Knowing if they had the largest bubble or not would possibly affect their business decisions. In answering these questions, Tantrum Toys could gage whether or not their newest solution was really the biggest. We knew a few pieces of information before we started the testing. We knew that we would need to look for the height and diameters of the bubbles through two tests. The first …show more content…
Figure 1 shows a straw similar to what we used during our study. The dome test used a tray, 80 ml of each solution, two rulers and a straw. One ruler was placed in the tray with the solution to record the diameter of the dome and one was used to record the height of the dome. The 80 ml of solution was poured into the tray. One inventor puts one end of the straw into the tray of solution and blows through the other end for 5 seconds and the largest bubble is recorded with the rulers. The free floating test used a 80 ml beaker of solution, a straw, and a ruler. A inventor took the straw and put one end into the 80 ml of solution and capped the other end with their finger to capture the solution, and blew through the end that was capped by the finger. The free floating bubbles were allowed to descend to the ground where their diameter was measured by a ruler. We found the averages by adding both the measurements of each solution in each test and dividing them by the number of measurements, two. For example: 1.25+1.30+1.20=3.75/3=1.25 average. There were multiple steps taken to prepare our data taken for analysis. Throughout our study, we took observations on the solutions and their ability to create bubbles. Taking multiple observations would allow for better understanding of the solutions and better discussion on the solutions later. Another step taken to prepare our data was to take …show more content…
We were given six unlabeled containers of bubble solution. We were tasked with finding which solution created the largest bubbles. We were instructed to perform two tests: the dome and free floating tests. These test would allow us to decide which solutions created the largest bubble. Data on the largest bubble would be viewed to decide if their new solution really created the largest bubbles. Through our study we found one solution that created larger bubbles in our tests. Our study leads me to think that solution three produced the largest

    For our diffusion experiment our group decided to work with salt water and gummy bears. Our experiment tested the weight of the gummy bears per salt dilutions. Our tests included 1g 2.5g 5g, 1.5g, and 10g of salt diluted with water. We knew that the higher the concentration of salt diluted into the water the heavier the diffused gummy bear would be, therefore we measure weight as our numerical data. My hypothesis was that the 10g dilution of salt would have the gummy bear with the largest mass.…

    Another source of error could have been that since the experimentation was over a two day timeframe, one group could have used two different bubble bottles to create their bubble populations. For example, the first soap bubble group tested was the one without help and this population of bubbles survived at least ten to twenty seconds after hitting the ground, but the next day, a different bottle was used and when doing experimentation for the bubble population with help, the bubbles had a tendency to pop immediately upon hitting the ground, which would have made it appear as though the populations without help did survived longer than the populations with help because two different bubble bottles were…

    The trials were used to show how soap can change the droplets that could be held on the penny. The results of the trial helped me see what happened when I added soap to the water. It tells me whether my hypothesis was correct when I tested it and whether the results can prove my point. After analyzing the data, my hypothesis was correct. I was able to see a trend that the penny was able to hold 40+ droplets of tap water each time, but there were some exceptions, while the penny was able to hold 10+ drops each time.…

    The question that this experiment helped me answer was what makes ice melt faster salt or sugar. My hypothesis was if I pour ice with salt, then the ice amount of ice will be more because salt has more molecules than sugar does. In this experiment, I had to pour salt with ice and sugar with ice. Then you needed to place them in the fridge and wait one hour till one bowl of ice is halfway melted. Then I had to pour all the water out into a measuring cup but, had to keep the ice’s in the bowl.…

    Over three days, we tested what would happen to an egg after leaving in various liquids over a 24-hour period. Before letting the egg submerge in vinegar overnight the initial weight of the egg was 66.6 grams. We thought that after leaving the egg in vinegar the shell of the egg would get softer. The independent variable is the vinegar and the dependent variable is the egg. We believed that the egg would be softer; because we saw the vinegar bubble once we put the egg in it.…

    Snow Globe Essay

    Snow globes are made of clear glass, a transparent sphere with a scenic view and a plastic toy inside the globe. The sphere likewise encases the water in the globe; the water fills in as the medium through, where the snow falls. The globe must be shaken to actuate the snow so the white particles can fall gradually to reach the base. When the snowflakes/object falls, it experiences two external forces which are; the gravitational force and the aerodynamic (air resistance) drag of the object, which gradually brings the object down. Furthermore, the drag force affects the object because of the shape and the viscosity of the fluid.…
