Cheetos Experiment

We have some issues that we need to discuss. I’ve been holding it in for a while now but enough is enough. Something has to be said; we will just continue this empty relationship with no purpose. You have cause so much stress and trouble for me.

The Mythbusters observed the myth that driving whilst talking on the phone is as dangerous as driving drunk. They formed their hypothesis that driving on the phone is as dangerous as driving drunk. Then, they tested their hypothesis. They created an experiment that would have participants drive a car through a course three times. Each time a participant went through the course, they experience different conditions. The first time, both participants drove through the course normally. This served as the control group for the experiment. The second time, participants were asked questions over the phone while they completed the course, and, the third time, they were drunk when they drove through the course. Throughout the experiment, there were several independent variables in place to ensure that only one variable was being tested.

Hot Cheetos can cause many harmful things to your body.In addition, Hot Cheetos can also cause abdominal pain and burning. In the article by Dr.Berchelmann it says “The hot pepper spice in this product can cause abdominal pain and burning.” Each bag of hot cheetos contains 39 grams of fat per serving. Children who eat these chips a lot can be be sent to the Emergency room. She also says that hot cheetos is the only product she has seen that brings children to the emergency room.

2) Heat one to about 50˚C, and place other one in calorimeter (at around 20˚C)

Aim: to test taste and smell between females and males by using jelly beans and to see if there is a difference between the genders by the results.

According to research done at the University of Florida (http://hendry.ifas.ufl.edu/HCHortNews_pHProblems.htm), the PH levels of the soil can affect the growth of a plant. In this research, the University of Florida was able to confirm that plants react better to PH levels that range from 6 – 7.5. In my experiment I will be pushing the plant's boundaries by watering the plants with plain, black (Name of coffee using) caffeinated coffee that has a PH level of (PH level). The plant I have chosen are lima beans. I chose the lima beans because they are a hardy plant.

C. An unknown, rectangular substance measures 3.6 cm high, 4.21 cm long, and 1.17 cm wide.

"It is now three o'clock. If you are not under the direct supervision of a teacher please report to the cafeteria," the loudspeaker announces. Daily many students spend their time waiting in the lunchroom after the final bell rings. Some students are waiting for their ride while others do homework with friends. Some spring sports, like tennis, do not start their practices directly after school which leaves them waiting. To accommodate for these students and athletes, the A la Carte area of the cafeteria is opening after school from 2:10 to 2:45 p.m.

If 10.0g of solid baking soda is poured into 30 mL of citric acid, then a reaction will occur and an increase in temperature will be observed. Whereas, if a piece of magnesium metal is added to 30 mL of Hydrochloric Acid, then a reaction will occur and an increase in temperature will be observable. For Part 3 of the experiment, if 50 mL of tap water is placed in a can 2.5 cm inches above a burning marshmallow, then through the process of calorimetry the energy content of the marshmallow should be 5.0kJ/g (the value provided by the United States Department of Agriculture).

Using the table on page 12, I was able to calculate the Kcalorie content in Cheetos. First I calculated the carbohydrates 60 kcal, then protein 8kcal and lastly lipids as 90 kcal. I then added up 60+8+90 and got 158 Kcal. The Cheetos provide 9.4% carbohydrates, 1.27% protein, and 57% lipids. I think the lipid content is very high compared to the recommend 20-35% lipids.

Using the table on page 12, I was able to compute the Kcalorie of Cheetos. I calculated 60 Kcals from carbohydrates, 8 Kcals protein, and lastly 90 Kcals lipids. I then simply added them all up and got 158 Kcals. I then calculated the percentage of energy from lipids and found it was 57% percent while carbohydrates were 38% and proteins 5%. it is clear Cheetos are made of mostly carbohydrates and fat, with no real nutritional value. I Know Cheetos aren’t the best food choice but I really didn’t expect the percentage of energy for lipids to be so high compared to the recommended value of 20-35%. I think it’s a little shocking, especially since Cheetos are my favorite! I eat them all of the time. Now that I know this I’ll definitely check

1.) Choose a food related topic that you want to test and write a purpose statement.

Everyone has an experienced that awkward moment of not knowing anyone in your class and the teacher tells you to pick your own group/partner or when your groups lets you down because you were the only one doing the work. Our goal was to figure out what method is most effective in helping students be more successful. We asked middle school students how they felt about picking their own groups or having the teacher assign them to one. We used the likert scale to survey the students.To do our experiment we went to a 7th grade science classroom. For each class period we had a different variable for how they would work and how they were placed. These variables included the students picking their own group, the teacher assigning them to a group,students

The typical first grade classroom is an atmosphere filled with some children that are a more active than others. These children are the bunch that cannot sit still, are louder, and more disruptive. Meanwhile the other children are fixated on schoolwork, sitting attentively and quietly. This brought along two research experiments by Dr. Madison and Dr. Johnson. In one experiment we will be exposed to a correlation in which sugar intake is mathematically proven to affect activity levels. While the other experiment shows no significant evidence that sugary snacks plague activity levels. Both however, attempt to decipher why children are more rambunctious than others and whether sugar intake influenced this behavior.

The calculations showed that on average Cheetos contain 1.7 kcal/g (figure 1) which is more calories than Rice Cakes which contain around 1.4 kcal/g, and Marshmallows which we found to contain 0.9 kcal/g. Alcohol, with just 0.8 kcal/g, has the least amount of calories. From looking at the nutrition facts of cheetos, rice cakes, and marshmallow I calculated the amount of calories per gram each of the foods had. I did this because it is more precise than just using the general nutrition facts since the size of the foods differ, therefore comparing the overall amount of calories isn’t accurate. I came up with on average cheetos having 5.36 calories per gram, rice cakes having 3.8 cal/g and marshmallows having 3.3cal/g. Although the results are
