ABSTRACT The Use of Apple Extract/Juice as a Disappearing Ink The purpose of my study is to test if apple extract/juice can be used as a disappearing ink The following are the procedures used to make a disappearing ink using the apple extract. The following are the materials; Q-tip, paper, apple juice and a Candle (any source of heat will work, ex. lamp, iron, oven). Begin by pouring a bit of the apple juice into a bowl. Use a q-tip, toothpick, or a paintbrush to write your message on the paper. Let the paper dry thoroughly. This will take about an hour. To decode the message, you will need to heat up the paper. The best way to do this is with a candle. Hold the paper over the candle until the words become visible. The words …show more content…
In addition to being a fruit rich in symbolism, there is much plant lore assigned to the apple. Apple boughs hung above the door frame of a house are said to bless the couple that resides therein with added peace and love. Others have used the apple in a love spell that involves cutting the apple cross-wise and sharing it with the one that you love to increase the attraction. In Danish folklore, however, apples are believed to wither around adulterers. Many American children have bobbed for apples on Halloween. This child’s game may have originated from and Irish Tradition, “La mas nbhal.” This was “the feast of the apple gathering” which took place on All Hallow Eve. There was a spicy cider and toast beverage in which apples were floated. “It was usual for each person who partook of the spicy beverage to take out an apple and eat it, wishing good luck to the company.” In England on Christmas Eve, there once was a popular custom called, “wassailing the orchard trees.” The farmer with his family and workers would honor the most productive trees in the orchard with cider and hot cakes while saying the following toast three times: Almost everyone has eaten an apple, but have you ever asked the question where do apple trees grow? The apple trees we know today originated from the a wild apple tree that was native to Central Asia. It can still be found growing in the mountainous regions of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and China. Amazingly, this

The goal is to have the end of the chromatography strip just touching the surface of the solvent solution, with the colored dots above the surface of the liquid. Make sure that the colored spots do not come in direct contact with the liquid in the bottom of the glass.
The apple I believe serves as a symbol of the pain and hurtful words issued to Gregor by his family. The apple in his back came about as a result of the pent up fury of his father. One can assume the apples were the hurtful words of Gregor’s father as he was frustrated with his son’s metamorphosis. I think the apples here serve as a biblical allusion like the apples of the Garden of Eden which caused sin to be introduced into the world. The apples or the eating of the apples by Adam and Eve caused pain and death, just like the apples where one lodged in the back of Gregor, causing an infection leading to his death.
Several activities take place in the evening, but the most antipated one by far is going trick-or treating. Both children and adults dress up in costumes and walk from door to door collecting candy from their friends and neighbors. This ritual is from Samhain, an ancient Celtic gala that marked the end of the harvest season and the start of a new year. The Celts thought that the spirits left their world to interact with the living and so wore disgues and made food offerings to try to appease them. Bobbing for apples is another modern-day Halloween custom that has Celtic roots. Apples were the fruit of death. The Celts believed that the departed had to undergo two trials before they could make it to heaven. “The water ordeal is the familiar bobbing for apples, while the fire ordeal involves trying to take a bite out of an apple attached to a hanging stick which also bears a lit candle” (Kondratiev, par. 12). Playing this game attuned the dead to the needs of the living over the course of the following
The apple will fall from the tree and decompose on the ground leaving the seed. The seed will work its way down into the soil below it. The seed will need water to help it grow. Over time, the seed will grow into a plant which will eventually grow into a tree! The apple tree will begin to produce blossoms. These blossoms will turn into
The first tradition that I want to talk about is the Christmas tree. Every year, Iand my family go into the bush to get a tree. We find one that looks good and chop it down and use the top. It’is a lovely tradition. The history of the Christmas tree is really vast and substantial. A look at the history of the tree only shows how extensive this history actually is. According to History.com Christmas trees used to
There is something special about packing the family for an afternoon at a local orchard with its sweet, alluring scent, trees filled with ripe red fruit, bags overloaded with the best apples to bring home and a sampling or two of the fruit direct from the trees! And, let’s face it there are few things better than biting into a crisp, sweet, perfectly juicy apple!
In The Giver, the Apple symbolizes change. For example change occurs in the story when Asher and Jonas are playing catch with it but then to Jonas the Apple seems to change. Lois Lowry writes,”Suddenly Jonas had noticed … the Apple had changed” (30). This happened because Jonas was seeing color for the first time, specifically red. It introduces us to the fact that he can see “Beyond”.
British spies used to use semen as invisible ink but the practise stopped due to old letters beginning to smell.
Ink can be defined as a pigmented substance which can be used to create markings on a surface; however, over the course of history ink has been composed of different materials. The earliest form of ink known to historians, Indian Ink, was created around 2500 BC by the Chinese. This ink was a mixture of soot from pine smoke, lamp oil from animal skins, and musk. Scholars and scribes used this it to record information such as farm accounts, religious texts, and possessions and the people who owned them. Further down the timeline, Europeans created Iron Gall Ink from crushed gall nuts, iron or copper salt, and comarabic (which held the mixture together). Because of its durable nature, people such as Bach, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Van Gogh used it
In my experiment i heated up lemon in different ways and tried to make the lemon juice shoW up on the paper. I originally thought that if i used a blow dryer or a microwave it would work but it did not so i decided tO UsE a skilleT and my ovEN. The oven worked best with you being able to read 100% of the word that was in the oven and others trailing with you only being able to read 60% of the fire and 50% of the skillet. A common pattern was that the more space it heated all together the better it can be read.
Apple, Inc. is an electronics and software company based in California, USA. Originally known as Apple Computer, the company is familiar to most people as innovators of the personal computer as it is known today.
The objective of this experiment was to investigate the concept of paper chromatography and attempt to achieve a clear separation of food dyes found in M&M’s and to compare and evaluate the dyes found.

Invisible Ink can come in many different forms. Inkvisible ink, by definition, is “Ink that is colorless and invisible until treated by a chemical, heat, or special light” (thefreedictionary.com). Invisible ink, also known as sympathetic ink, can be bought commercially or made at home (thefreedictionary.com). The effectiveness of invisible ink depends on what its chemical components are. Lemon juice is a commonly used liquid for invisible ink, as it is readily available and can be read using heat (scientificamerican.com). Lemon juice is acidic, and once dried, burns faster than the surrounding paper, thus turning a brown color once exposed to heat (scientificamerican.com). This kind of invisible ink can be prepared at home almost instantly.
I will use ‘effectiveness’ to refer to the extent of red stamp ink stain on cotton
