Chewing Gum Experiment

Gum chewing has been around for at least 3,000 years, all around the world. Gum chewing was around during the ancient greeks, the mayans, and was introduced to americans in the late 1860’s. The first bubble gum was sold in 1928 and was pink because that was the only color in the factory; pink is still one of the most popular colors of chewing gum today. In this experiment, I will be finding the percentage of sugar in the Bubbilisious Strawberry gum. To find this I will need to record the data of 625 chews, recording the mass every 25 chews.

Chewing gum can help you stay attentive for a long period of time. Researches has revealed that chewing gum can advance concentration in visual remembrance tasks. This study focused on the potential welfares of chewing gum during an audio memory task or solving problems. In order to establish the truth of this research an experiment was tested giving reliable results at the end. In this experiment there was three groups involved; the group without any gum, the group with fruit flavored gum, and the group with mint flavored gum. Each group solved different levels of worksheet; easy, medium, and difficult. While solving the worksheet, each group were being timed in order to compare and contrast the results of how long it took the groups to solve

Have you ever taken a bite into a fresh piece of gum and just died?The first chews of gum are the perfect way to start a soon to end experience. The way your tongue dissolve the booming flavor like a baby kicking for the first time ,but it's not the first time...it's maybe the 100th.Or like meeting someone you heard of ,but not met personally .The exciting part is when you're in the middle where the flavor is shy, but acting out at random moments. You chew and chew and chew and chew and chew and chew and with every bite into that clumped of piece of gum filled with saliva and 10 million thriving bacteria. The minty air rushes through your nose relieving your breath of a deadly stench…...and then it ends out of nowhere, but you chew and chew

Sure, it isn’t fun if you or your things happen to get stuck of chewing gum. Most especially if it got dried up and hard to removed. We’d say, rather than scraping it off, treat/soak it with Coca Cola. Its acidity can soften the nasty gum and it can be easily be peeled off with a blunt knife without damaging the surface underneath.

Walter Mischel’s marshmallow test is one of the best-known studies in the history of psychology. In the 1968 experiment, Mischel, a professor at Stanford, took nursery-school students, put them in a room, gave them a marshmallow and the following deal: They could eat the Marshmallow right away, or wait 15 minutes until he returned. If they waited, they would get an extra Marshmallow. After the conclusions of the initial experiment Mischel tracked the children over the course of their teenage life and as they became adults. Studying their lives and making correlations between the sets of data and later publishing his findings.

(2014), Smith points out that research on the long-term effects of electronic cigarettes is severely lacking. Because electronic cigarettes are a relatively new form of technology, researchers are unable to gather long-term data on its effects. While it has been proven to reduce cigarette smoking by smokers, it may lead to a higher rate of nicotine addiction, especially in children. Because of the sweet, candy-like flavors of e-liquids, electronic smoking devices are appealing to children and

As stated earlier, chewing gum can help students focus. "Chewing gum is an easy tool students can use for a potential academic edge," which is what Craig Johnston, Ph.D., the lead researcher and an instructor in nutrition at the Department of Pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine, says. This evidence point to the fact that students who chew gum involved fewer breaks, paid more attention and stayed quiet during more or the class than students who didn't. In another study, Kim Morgan, the author of the study, states that ”It's been well established by previous research that chewing gum can benefit some areas of cognition. In our study we focussed on an audio task that involved short-term memory recall to see if chewing gum would improve concentration; especially in the latter stages of the task. (Kate Morgan, 2013)" The results of the study showed the participants who chewed gum had quicker reactions and more accurate results. Morgan explained at the end “Interestingly

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.

Tobacco is becoming to be a huge problem in the middle school. . Tobacco contains more than 4,000 different chemicals. EXPLAIN IT. A. Studies also show that because the brain is still in the development process, and if you choose to start smoking, it will cause lower grades in school. So, why not help students do better in school? Not only smoking causes health problems, but it also causes short life expectancy. If you help them now, all youth will have a chance of a longer, and a happier life!

Chewing gum at school can help with memory loss. While chewing the gum, it helps you concentrate for longer periods of time. Different research studies all came out with the same outcome in the end. It was that chewing gum helped students remember the correct answers to everyday tests. The continuous motion of opening and closing of the jaw helps with memory. The hippocampus is the area of the brain that helps with memory, and it improves when you’re chewing on something. Also it takes away sleepiness, so students would be able to work for longer periods of time. Craig Johnston, PhD, an instructor of pediatrics- nutrition at the Baylor College of medicine, led a study with 108 8th grade students. (Hendrick, 2009) He did this to see if chewing gum really did help in school. Johnston split the group into two groups for the study. One group chewed Wrigley’s sugar-free gum while doing homework, while the other group didn’t chew gum while

In many ways, adversity is the leading factor for change. People, animals, and things often alter their shape or ideas to fit with their surroundings. Usually, those surroundings include one driving factor that forces the change: struggles or difficulty. This idea poses the question, in what way do people deal with adversity? The books The Call of the Wild, by Jack London, and The Prince, by Niccolo Machiavelli, along with the article “What Does It Take to ‘Assimilate’ to America?” by Laila Lalami, carry a common theme: it is not just change that helps people deal with adversity, but adaptation. Change is the simple act of becoming different, whereas adaptation is the act of changing oneself to fit in one’s environment. Adversity, however

Marijuana may be used for psychological, social, addictive, or personal reasons. Side effects of this illicit drug that negatively impact student academic performance include decreased motivation, attention, concentration, and memory, all of which hinder learning (How). These effects may be significantly

Nicotine has been proven to boost concentration, improve memory and control body weight, as well as alleviating the symptoms of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease sufferers. However, research has also established that nicotine adversely affects babies in utero and may explain the link between smoking and problems such as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and Attention Deficit Disorder.

Sociology enables us to understand the different aspects of society; society plays a crucial part in our lives, looking at people’s personalities, gaining a deeper comprehension and understanding how society works is something which I’m fascinated by. I’m interested in topics such as government policy, education, crime and culture. Combined with sociology, criminology particularly captured my attention. The in-depth focus on criminality and the criminal justice processes; after doing some of my own research, I looked at the UK and US criminal justice system and noticed the difference within our systems. I have decided to combine my two interests in these and topics and pursue a degree in Sociology and Criminology at university.
