Fracking Egg Experiment

In football the force of impact can be dangerous. Helmets are constructed to protect the brains of the players. Without this protection the player will receive major damage from the impact of the force. In this lab, students will construct a device that will protect an egg from the impact force from the drop. The egg acts as a substitute for the brain and the device is the “helmet” for the egg. The independent variable of this experiment is the trials; the dependent variables of this experiment are time and velocity. By using the laws of physics, students will construct an efficient device that will protect the egg from the harsh impact of force.

For this project, I made a capsule for an egg that is to be dropped from about twenty feet. This capsule that I made was not what I was thinking at first but when I started to build it, I saw that this capsule would hold better than the one that I was thinking which was a triangular capsule with the egg in the middle but I saw later one that the egg would break if it hit one of the flat sides. The capsule is a cube that is made out of the tongue depressors and I used most of the yarn for the big cage and I used the Elmer’s glue to glue the tongue depressors together. I used pieces of the paper clips to hold the popsicle sticks together with the tongue depressors and some

The purpose behind the egg drop project is for students to understand the concept of momentum, collision, impulse and force. To do this, they will create a protective carrier that will surround the egg. The egg will then be dropped from a certain height. The device that is created should weigh enough to increase the time of impact, therefore decreasing the force of impact on the egg so it doesn’t crack.

Hydraulic Fracturing or “Fracking” is something that has been prevalent in the news in recent times. It has revolutionised the energy industry in the US and now there are various companies competing as drilling companies suggest that trillions of cubic feet of shale gas may be recoverable from underneath parts of northern England. As many of our coal powered power stations are coming to the end of their lives, alternative sources of energy need to be found. However, there has been mass protest, due to the environmental and social impact of the fracking process.

Hydraulic fracking is vertical well bores are drilled thousands of feet into the earth, through sediment layers, the water table, and shale rock formations in order to reach the oil and gas. The drilling is then angled horizontally, where a cement casing is installed and will serve as a conduit for the massive volume of water, fracking fluid, chemicals and sand needed to fracture the rock and shale. In some cases, prior to the injection of fluids, small explosives are used to open up the bedrock. The fractures allow the gas and oil to be removed from the formerly impervious rock formations. Although fracking has technically been in existence for decades, the scale and type of drilling now taking place, deep fracking, is a new form of drilling

The egg baby activity was an activity I particularly enjoyed doing in my college career. I am actually familiar with the care taking process for my egg, since I was assigned this type of project before while I was in high school; the only difference was that I had a partner for this experience. So to explain the process for caring for my baby was fairly simple, my partner, Lily, had a schedule that was the opposite of mine and we would switch off caring for the baby evenly. She had the baby one day and I would have him the next. Having to switch off between days primarily reminded me of how actual couples would have to raise children due to custody cases, in which some are not as lenient as switching off between parents like it was for this project. So the challenging part of this activity

When it comes to fracking there's a lot of controversy. Is fracking okay? Is fracking safe for the environment? Many people have many different opinions when it comes to this topic.In my opinion fracking is a very dangerous topic to discuss. It can not only harm the environment and cause global warming, but it may also cause issues to one’s health. For instance, fracking can cause issues to anyone's personal health. On source A it states “The fracking cocktail includes acids, detergents and poisons that are not regulated by federal laws but can be problematic if they seep into drinking water.” By pursuing the act of fracking it can cause serious health damages causing acids and poisons to slip into drinking water which may cause various amounts

Today there is great demand for natural gases and oils, we use them every day from our cars to running appliances in our houses. We have developed skills and techniques to extracting these gases and oils. One technique is Hydraulic fracturing. Hydraulic Fracturing also known as Fracking. Fracking has many dangers to it from polluting water supply, land and even air.

What is fracking? Fracking is a way of recovering natural gas deep from within the earth. It has been used for many years but recently has increased in use because most of the other sources of recovering natural gas have been exhausted.Fracking is an easy way of getting the natural gases but it does cause some problems in the process. The fluid used when fracking can contaminate the drinking water and many nearby residents can never really be prepared if something dangerous happens.

Fracking is one step in the process to retrieve oil and gas from that has been trapped in rock formation underground for millions of years. Having access to layers in the earth that tradition methods could not reach, allows us to access natural gas that couldn’t be reached. It is often used in horizontal drilling so extract as much as possible. A vast majority of wells that will be drilled for either oil or gas will receive fracking treatment. There is a fluid used in the fracking procedure that is pumped into the rock layer of the earth and it helps to relieve pressure on the rock so that way gas and oil can flow through it more easily. There has been great concern about the fluids being pumped into the earth and contaminating the water sources. Livescience.com states The vertical well is then encased in steel and/or cement to

Hydraulic Fracturing or Fracking for short is the process of pumping water, sand, and numbers of chemicals into deposits of Marcellus Shale to release the natural gas that is trapped under ground. Fracking is a process that is the center of debate between well companies and environmentalists. Pennsylvania is a huge center of Hydraulic Fracturing so much that there is a town called Frackville. These small mountain towns are few and far in between. The rest of the area is untouched wilderness besides the Hydraulic Fracking wells that intrude on this pristine land. Hydraulic Fracturing needs to be highly monitored and regulated and the people affected by it firsthand should be aware of what exactly is being pumped into their backyards. Natural

A common method that has been used in California to acquire water, especially in the Central Valley, is fracking. Fracking is the method of, “extracting oil or natural gas trapped inside shale or other rock formations. Oil and gas companies drill deep into the earth often through our underground sources of drinking and irrigation water. Then they inject high volumes of water mixed with chemicals and often sand at a high pressure to fracture the rock around the well to release the oil or gas. Acidizing, another well stimulation process, involves the injection of hydrofluoric and/or hydrochloric acids to corrode the rock formation and allow for increased oil-flow” (Oil, Gas and Fracking in California 4). People support fracking because they believe

Hydraulic fracturing, or simply “fracking” is the process of drilling and injecting method for oil and gas companies. Accordingly, fluid is injected into the ground with a high pressure in order to fracture shale rocks to release natural gas inside. During this process, pressurized water, sand, and chemicals are used to open fissures in the ground, which caused the flow of oil and gas to the surface. The process is designed to improve productivity in gas reserves in the U.S. On the other hand, it creates radioactive wastewater, radon exposure, smog, chemical contamination of drinking water, air pollution, and earthquakes from wastewater injection in areas including a potential for danger from it in District 8: Navarro, Freestone, and the Hill Country that is designated as a

My latest dream consisted of me putting ice in my water bottle, then the ice and water bottle cracking. This dream could have many interpretations to many different people. With so many different theories about how dreams affect our lives, it is hard to determine what a dream really means, or whether it means anything at all. After waking up I wondered why my brain portrayed this dream, but I will probably never have a clear answer.

Four eggs that were previously soaked in vinegar were placed into four beakers with different levels of a glucose solution. The four beakers were filled with distilled water, 0.5M glucose, 1.5M glucose and 2.0M glucose. After the eggs were placed in the solutions, they were left for 60 minutes but weighed every 15 minutes to record whether there was an increase or a decrease in mass. The various masses were recorded as well as the percent change in mass. These were then recorded as line graphs. From this it was able to be determined if the egg had been in a hypotonic, hypertonic or isotonic solution, thus being able to determine if osmosis had occurred.
