Elizabeth Schlecht Lesson 1 Assignment 3 More than a Husk Have you ever looked really closely at something? Think about the saying don’t judge a book by its cover. Well don’t judge a cob of corn by its husk, or at least not only it’s husk. As I hold this cylindrical cob of corn and observe it, I am surprised at all I didn’t notice about it. The green and brown husk has a dry velvety texture. It is indented with long stripes less than eighth of an inch deep and wide. Its smell is hard to…

A Look At How The Cornmeal You Use In Your Recipes Is Made If you're putting a line of foods on the market, you should understand all of the ingredients in them so you can answer questions from customers. If you use corn products, it's helpful to know the difference between cornmeal and corn flour when it comes to how they are produced. Here is a quick look at the corn milling process and how cornmeal is produced in bulk. Cornmeal Has A Medium Texture The corn milling process produces three…

dealing with the reoccurrence of diaper rashes on their baby. This is a very common rash that forms due to all of the moisture on a baby’s skin and then forms a painful and red rash in their diaper area. For many parents they find it hard to find the right ingredient to help with the common diaper rash and instead of using prescription topical, they have found themselves using a more natural way to element diaper rash through home remedies. Here are a few home remedies that you can use to…

to examine the fizz by adding extra cornstarch to the bath bomb recipe will affect the overall outcome. If there is more cornstarch added to the bath bomb, then the bath bomb will be less fizzy because cornstarch acts as a dry filler that controls the reaction between baking soda and citric acid. The experiment calls for two different recipes. The first one was the normal recipe which blue was used as the coloring. The other recipe was the extra cornstarch recipe which red was used as the…

bouncy balls once their original recipe have been modified. Background The bouncy ball experiment is an experiment where you mix cornstarch, borax and glue to create a small ball that rebounds upon impact, also known as elasticity. After my ball was made, I recorded data about how high my ball bounced at a drop height of 50cm. The objective of this experiment is to maximise the elasticity effect of the bouncy ball, by investigating the ingredients and their properties when alone, and when…

Purpose: The purpose of the lab was to identify a powder based on its physical and chemical properties. Materials & Apparatus: -eye protection -well plate -pipette -small toothpick/ paper clip for stirring -6 white powders: icing sugar, cornstarch, Aspirin powder, baking powder, mystery powder -test solutions in dropper bottles: water, universal indicator, vinegar, iodine solution Safety notes: Aspirin Powder- in case of contact with skin, wash with soap and water. Universal indicator-…

sooth muscles), food coloring, fragrances and other components. There are, however, a few key ingredients that most homemade recipes have: baking soda and citric acid. Why is this? When baking soda and citric acid are mixed and are then put in water, they undergo a chemical reaction. The reaction produces lots of bubbles, which you see as the bath bomb dissolves in the water. These bubbles that make the water become so fizzy are made of carbon dioxide gas. Another ingredient that is often used…

example of a shear thinning fluid. Fourth, the dilatant, or shear thickening, fluids increase their viscosity when increased stress is present. Cornstarch and water mixtures fit within this category (“Non-Newtonian Fluids”). Finally, there are the viscoplastic fluids. Viscoplastic substances have the same viscosity when little stress is applied, but the strain of more applied stress is that the fluid becomes runnier. Toothpaste that is squeezed out of the tube remains in the same state it was in…

change the oobleck’s viscosity by changing its thickness. Additionally, applying any pressure to oobleck helps to changes its viscosity. A quick tap on the oobleck cause it to feel hard, this is due to the cornstarch coming together; but slow pressure causes the cornstarch particles to move allowing it to feel similar to water. In this experiment will be using…
