Jelly Beans Experiment

It was the late 1960’s. The Marshmallow experiment was conducted to find out the mental processes, as Lehrer said, “The initial goal of the experiment was to identify the mental processes that allowed some people to delay gratification while others simply surrendered”(Lehrer, 2009).

Purpose: The purpose of this gummy bear lab is too figure out what different types of osmosis and diffusion can be seen during the lab. Also too see what solutions will cause the gummy bear to be isotonic, hypotonic, or hypertonic. This will benefit people that may eat a lot of gummy bears along with drinking sodas and juices, or water this may cause you to become more dehydrated. This will help people who like to eat gummy bears but don’t know what's best to drink with them.

The purpose of this project is to experiment if smell affects taste. In the hypothesis it is stated that when the nose is plugged the taste of a jellybean will

I have always been interested in science, but the hands on experiments have helped me understand and grasp concepts much easier. I recall my first experiment in first grade when the class was given the lima bean sprout experiment, which required students to plant a bean in a paper cup. The purpose of this experiment was to teach us about photosynthesis and practice our observation skills. I recall how others were fascinated about why their sprout grew. I, on the other hand, was more captivated by why the other sprouts did not grow and the factors, which contributed to that outcome. This basic experiment taught me to look at things through different lenses and not always to the most obvious path.

First, before starting my experiment I did some research on the growth of lima beans, so that I could start the base of the project. According to research done at the University of

Energy is a concept.� Most definitions of the word energy fail to provide its exact meaning when applied to scientific matters.� In science the word energy is a concept that expresses two measurable properties, heat and work.� Here is the relationship of energy, heat and work:

In this lab, M&Ms and Smarties will be compared in five different ways: mass, shell solubility, volume, density, and nutrition facts. For each comparison 10 Smarties will be used and 10 M&Ms will be used. This is to ensure that the results are more accurate, as each piece of candy is not the same size, weight etc… A total of 50

The purpose of this lab was to investigate and observe the effects of organic vs. synthetic fertilizers on plant growth by planting lima beans with added amounts of fertilizers, and to see how does adding different nutrients to the soil affect the growth of the lima bean? A significant difference was examined between the plants that contained manure and miracle growth, unfortunately the plant with no additional fertilizers (Plant #3) did not show any growth. The plant that grew the most was the one that contained manure, to an extent the one that grew the most in a short period of time was the one that contained miracle growth, as shown in figure I. The hypothesis explaining if the Lima Bean plant contains synthetic nutrients in the soil then

The reason for the experiment is to see which liquid makes the Jelly Marble grow the most. Jelly Marbles are clear spheres made from an superabsorbent polymer and about 99% water. This makes it so that it absorbs water very quickly. If the jelly marbles are soaked in 70% rubbing alcohol then the growth will decrease.

Using Benedict's testing on our food items, we tested for simple sugars. Six clean test tubes were labeled individually with each testing food item plus one negative control test tube. Solutions of each food item in the quantity of one full dropperful was added to each labeled test tube and one full dropperful of water was added to the control tube.

Do the test smell and food, then no smell and food, then only food. Continue with these steps until experiment is finished. The results for cinnamon scent and food 11/12 correct, for cinnamon with no scent and food 12/12 correct, for cinnamon with food 12/12 correct. The results for mint scent and food 8/12 correct, for mint no scent and food 12/12 correct, for mint with food 12/12 correct. The results for vanilla scent and food 12/12 correct, for vanilla no scent and food 12/12 correct, for vanilla with food 12/12 correct. The predicted results were that with scent and food that the volunteers wouldn’t be able to still taste. What could be done differently if this project was performed again is having one volunteer at a time doing the test. Another thing is give the volunteer a glass of water to clean the mouth from any taste when tasting something new. Experimental error were not taking the volunteers smell away completely. The hypothesis, if the smell was cinnamon then the taste of ketchup will decrease. The hypothesis was not supported. When comparing the foods with smell against the foods without smell the cinnamon had a 9% difference, mint had a 40%

We tested honey, egg, saltine, and hamburger. We tested sugars using Benedicts solution and boiling water. We tested for starch using Lugol’s solution. We tested lipids using paper towls. Lastly, we tested proteins using Biuret’s reagent solution.

Marshmallow Experiment The marshmallow experiment is all about self-control and if you're willing to wait more time to benefit yourself at the end and how important it is. The experiment was tested on six hundred children. This experiment is to say if the child will have behavioral problems when they are older or what SAT scores they will get.

This project is a quantitative study involving descriptive statistics. Descriptive statistics allow for summations about objects (FAQs-Descriptive & Inferential Statistics). With the exception of measurement error, descriptive statistics can clarify large volumes of data by reducing lots of data into a simpler summary (Trachim, 2006). The scope of the project included 60, 1.67 oz. bags of m&ms being collected from different areas, 3,364 candies total. Statistical analysis was performed to determine the mean, standard deviation, and confidence intervals.

Errors that occurred while testing were that the size for bread were not the same, we never had anything there for them to drink in between the taste of each bread, there were seeds in the whole grain bread, after they were done testing the results
