This experiment was designed to keep a raw egg from breaking when dropped from a height of two meters. The structure that provides the longest duration of impact between the free falling egg and the ground will provide the wanted results of an uncracked egg. Background Previous knowledge acquired from Physics class about motion was applied to this project. Motion is the action of changing location or position. Impulse is the factor that will keep the egg from remaining undamaged. If bubble wrap…
more eggs, birth more offspring, and die with more meat on their bones.” (“Factory Farming”). Dairy cows, on factory farms, are forced to produce 10 times more more milk than normal. On average these dairy cows produce around 100 pounds of milk per day. Between 1965 and 2000, the weight of the average turkey raised for food in the U.S. increased by 57% (“Factory Farms”). “Today’s hen, selectively bred and artificially induced to yield high egg production, will produce more than 250 eggs…
Through the years people have eaten meat in order to obtain protein. As the population continues to grow more meat has to be produced, causing family farms to incorporate inhumane methods or to become a factory farm. Is this all worth it? Factory farming is a mystery to many and other would rather not be informed of what goes on behind closed doors. Meat is not as safe and healthy as they say it is. Also what other effects is it having on our environment that may affect us in the long run. For…
Rittman residents get their way, the term will take on a whole new meaning. Residents Ted Balog and Kelly Collins, during the April 11 meeting, approached council members asking them to consider changing zoning laws to accommodate raising chickens for eggs in coops in residential areas. Balog would like to see an ordinance similar to the one in Medina, which allows chickens in residential areas. There is a limit of one per 800 square feet. The animals must be in coops, which must be built to the…
The Multiple T Maze: The purpose of this experiment is to test the animals spatial cognition and their ability to retain short term information. The experiment involves a maze made up of multiple T-Junctions, and is fairly easy to measure spatial cognition and information retaining as there is a clear right and wrong answer for each junction. Each intersection must remain the same length and scale in order to ensure the test measures the animals ability to recall information based upon their…
Did you know that some jellyfish can lay up to 40,000 eggs each day? Research shows that there are more than 200 types of jellyfish with different shapes and sizes. Since most jellyfish lay tons of eggs every day the population is growing too fast. New studies present that the increase of population affects the industry, the ecology, and even humans. Therefore there are some interesting solutions to control the jellyfish population. The jellyfish is nothing like a fish it has no skeleton and…
applications of eggs. Eggs are used as foams, binders, thickeners, and emulsifiers. The multiple uses enable eggs to be made into custards, souffles, and hard cooked or soft boiled eggs. One experiment conducted was comparing the effects of the cooking time for hard boiled eggs. Another experiment conducted was seeing the effects of cooking scrambled eggs in hot and cold oil, a double broiler, and the microwave. The result of this experiment is that cooking eggs in a double broiler made the eggs…
old egg got there. I don’t know how it got there and I don’t think anybody ever will. It just showed up. Out of nowhere. Like some magician just plopped it there or something. It wasn’t like the other eggs either, it was big, very big. About 30 times bigger if you ask me. It was a little spotted too. Not like a bold type of spotted though. More muted, a nice kind if spotted. Anyways, it just showed up one day, and what really killed me was that the mother duck still took care of the other egg.…
Introduction: There is nothing like a light and fruity smoothie or a tangy icy mixed drink to brighten any meal. Most of these beverages included a common household contraption known as the blender. Many people think they know how a blender works but in reality they only know the very basic parts of how one turns electricity to blended smoothie goodness. In this article one will learn how the Hamilton Beach 12-speed 52254 operates in part by part sections that will take the…
The egg is composed of 5 parts. The outermost layer is the egg shell. It is made up of calcium. The next layer is the albumen, which is a thick white substance that holds the yolk, which is the yellow genetic material in the center of the egg. The air pocket on the wider end of the egg is known as the air cell and serves as the root to holding the yolk in place without spinning around. The final and most important part of the egg is the germinated spot that the chick…
