Slime is made by mixing together borax, glue, and water. Depending on the amount of borax added to the mixture will determine the density of the slime. For our experiment in class the independent variable was the borax. The dependent variable was slime. The control group was glue. 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.…

My science fair project involves soda bubbles and temperature. I chose this project because I’m interested in the viscosity(a chemical in soda) that is part of a soda/liquid, and how the viscosity is affected by the temperature of the liquid. I am also interested in bubbles specifically their length of time, so it would be interesting to see how the length of time is affected by temperature. The question that I am going to answer is, how does the temperature of soda affect the length of time of…

civilization. Eventually, pyramids, mummies, Cleopatra, and the Sphinx of Giza became touchstones of this flourishing culture. The Nile River was Ancient Egypt's highway. There were no semi-trucks, no Amazon Prime 1-day shipping offers. There was only water. There was also no bridges. Around 4,000 B.C., the Ancient Egyptians first lashed bundles of papyrus stalks together to make rafts. Later, craftsmen learned to build ships using local acacia wood. Some of these boats could carry cargo up to…

change in the water leads to finding the calories in food. Cheetos had about 3x the amount of calories at 1.66 calories per gram compared to marshmallows 0.57 calories per gram. With this information we know that fat gives of the more energy compared to sugar. Calories are the measure of how much energy is given off by food. A calorimeter is the device used to measure calories in food. An oatmeal can calorimeter was used for the experiment. The way it works is really simple; a glass of water…

The boardwalk in the the middle of the map is called the marsh boardwalk. In the summer the water is suitable for fishing and birdwatching, while in the winter, people love to skate on the ice and go cross-country skiing. In the summer marsh, painted turtles and bullfrogs are very common so don’t be surprised if you see several. It's hard to miss…

the heat waves, droughts, strong winds and heavy rains affecting the crop growth varies by region. Droughts in the Great Plains will stress the agriculture by the increase in temperature, less groundwater and flooding. In the Southwest the drought, water shortages, fire and floods will affect the soil decreasing the crops production. Heat waves increase and flooding will become more frequent in the Midwest reducing crops growth. In the Southeast, the heat and…

Pike fishing is a very popular form of fishing throughout not only North America, but most of the Northern Hemisphere. Pike fishing is regarded as a popular form of freshwater sport-fishing or game-fishing Familiar to both freshwater and brackish waters (saltier or more saline than freshwater, but less saline than saltwater) of the Midwestern and Great Lakes areas of the United States as well as parts of Canada and Europe, Northern Pike is an especially popular game-fish. So popular in fact,…

the world around us. Fracking and mountaintop removal has become a potentially fatal topic in multiple states. Hydraulic fracturing or Fracking is the process of drilling down into the earth before a high-pressure water mixture is directed at the rock to release the gas inside. Water, sand and 596 chemicals are injected into the rock at high pressure which allows the gas to flow out to the head of the well. Mountaintop removal mining (MTR), also known as mountaintop mining (MTM), is a form of…

fastest way to cool a soda? There are multiple factors that could effect in this equation. Would it be faster to put it in the refrigerator where the cold air would achieve the soda’s desired temperature, would ice cool it faster, or maybe an ice and water bath would do the trick? There are multiple ways to test this experiment, but only one way to find out. There are a couple different ways how cold temperatures can remove the warm air from the lukewarm soda. The first of these is conduction.…

Mouse, and watch the fireworks at the end of the night. I love Disney, so this would probably be my favorite thing to do in Los Angeles. I would also go to the beach because I love the beach. I could play in the sand and dig a big hole, play in the water, or just relax. They even have a yoga beach where all the people there are doing yoga. Lastly, I would take a hike up to the Hollywood sign so I could enjoy nature and the…
