The way my friends and family described Texas was incredible. They described every single detail about this “Lone Star State” with so much love and pride! I also did some research and found out some very interesting things that made me love Texas even more. Texas is the second largest state in the United States Alaska being first. Most of the people who live in Texas consider themselves Texans not Americans. When other states think of Texas they think about everyone owning 5 pairs of boots,…
When you put Mentos in Diet Coke, the surface of the Mento allows carbon dioxide bubbles to form, as this happens the Diet Coke “explodes” out of the bottle (Hiskey). This reaction can result in large geysers of Diet Coke. As the Mentos candy sinks, carbon dioxide bubbles form on the surface, more and more bubbles from until they eventually shoot out of the bottle (Science Buddies). This experiment is well known and many people have done it before, but most do not know the reactions that cause…

The substances were three different liquids and three different solids. Another purpose of the lab was to learn the characteristics of an Armadillidium vulgare also known as a pillbug (Mader, 2013). The main topic was based on whether the pillbug would be attracted to certain substances, and the reason they’re attracted to it. The pillbug…
Health. Everybody cares about their health right? What if I told you pop can take rust off of nails. If pop does this to nails, imagine what it does to your inside, if it can melt rust off nails then it can melt your insides! Pop can be the worse decision in your life! My science fair question was which brand of pop will melt pop off nails faster. Studies show that nails get rust by sitting in water, and being old. Pop is so powerful because of sugar and carbonation. My hypothesis…
Chewing gum Chewing over gum is a delicate, iron substance expected for biting yet not gulping. People have utilized chewing over gum for no less than 3,000 years. Current chewing over gum was initially made of chicle, characteristic latex. By the 1960s, chicle was supplanted by butadiene-based manufactured elastic, which is less expensive to produce. Most biting gums are considered polymers. Cutting edge chewing over gum was initially created in the 1860s when chicle was brought from Mexico…

Both Wharton and Morrison patented the first electric cotton candy machine back in 1899. Cotton candy was first introduced to the public at the St. Louis World’s Fair in 1904. However it was 50 years later when in 1949 a cotton candy machine with a spring base was introduced that it became easier to process cotton candy. Today cotton candy continues to…
