Reaction Paper In The Movie Fllubber

This year we learned about radiation and it was inferred that flubber is very reactive to gamma radiation. We know this,

The two items mixed made a homogeneous mixture because you could not see the the water or cornstarch anymore. The new mixture was a liquid when you let it rest but when you touched it or moved it, it became a solid. This is different from the other two original substances because the cornstarch was a powder that was very easy to move around while the water was a liquid. The new mixture was an example of a chemical change due to the fact that the water and cornstarch were not able to be separated

First of all, this is a theory. A theory is when a system of ideas are intended to explain something such as an event. There are many different theories in the world. Theories can be crazy and some of the theories are really believable. Theories can be about anything if you think about, all you need are the facts to back it up. Imagine all the theories that can be made. Some popular theories are that chemicals

Cornstarch was the next powder experiment on. Cornstarch is a white, soft powder generally used as a thickening agent in liquid-based foods such as soups or sauces. When mixed with lower temperature liquids, it forms a past/slurry. As the starch is heated, the molecular chains unravel, allowing them to collide with other starch chains to form a mesh, thickening the liquid (Starch gelatinization). When mixed with a fluid, cornstarch can make a non-Newtonian fluid, for example, adding water creates Oobleck while adding oil creates an Electro rheological fluid (a suspension of extremely fine non-conducting particles which can be up to 50 micrometers in diameter) (Cornstarch).

When faced with a problem a good scientist will use experiments, notes, debates, and more to their advantage to solve the tough questions. A groups of scientists did just that when faced with a problem of their own. A tiny vial with a white powdery substance in it was put in front of them, and they needed to find out what was in it! Faced with nine possible ingredients in the “Mystery mixture,” a well tray, a water dropper, and a toothpick, these scientists were a little overwhelmed, but determined. One of the first things they did was look at the substance and compare it to their own mixtures, using experiments or chemical properties. Chemical properties are a chemical’s reaction to another or more substances, and a change in it’s identity. When they observed the chemicals the students were using physical properties, or observing the chemical’s smell, texture, color, appearance, size, and shape. They believe Baking Soda and Citric acid are in the Mystery Mixture.

Prior to high school, my uncle was my chemistry teacher. As a food scientist, he was to me a great inventor who knew everything about the magic of taste, texture, and aroma; I still remember his lecture on “good” chocolate and how cocoa butter—solid at room temperature—melts readily in our mouths. Raised on an early appreciation for the power of applied science, I am now driven toward chemical science by a desire to uncover solutions to challenges in the modern world.

In conclusion what makes Oobleck act like both a liquid and a solid? In your mind think that you can see the individual molecules of corn flour and water then think about how they might act when being pushed and pulled. The corn flour and water mixture will act like a solid and a liquid this type of mixture is an example of suspension. The particles stay undissolved in a liquid and corn flour molecules are dispersed into the water. If the cornstarch mixture is pinched, it causes the molecules to go closer together. The effect of the force traps the water between the flour molecules to form a solid shape. When you let go the pressure of your fingers the corn flour will be able to flow like liquid. Viscosity is the resistance for a liquid to

Part two of the experiment focused on household items like food and cleaning products. It was interesting to see how different chemicals react with the bromthymol blue. The all purpose cleaner turned into a light yellow

Chemistry is the part of Boo’s character that most connects him to the real world. Boo is always trying to understand more, and look at everything from a scientific perspective. Reciting the periodic table is the only thing that can calm him down, such as when he learns that Johnny Henzel, his first and only friend, is being punished in the afterlife for the crimes of Gunboy, the supposed school shooter from Helen Keller: “Hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen…” (146). When Boo was alive, he didn’t have any friends, so he spent his free time learning about chemistry and famous chemists, whom he adored. He idolized them like other teens admire singers and rockstars.

If it were a compound, it would be a chemical combined elements in fixed ratios that could be separated chemically only. In our lab, we were able to separate the different substances using magnets, filters, and water, nothing chemical - we used physical properties. 6. In our lab, when we carried out the process of filtration, the sand remained on the filter paper. The filtrate is not a pure substance.

Our group decided on the science understanding of chemical science as our theme through strong influence from the Victorian Curriculum, as we adapted our unit of work to focus on the ‘Three States of Matter’ that centred around looking specifically at solids, liquids and gases in detail. We thought that this unit topic would be a fun and interesting to plan and create a sequence of six lessons with student-centred and hands-on activities throughout. I felt our presentation went informative in the sense of highlighting and addressing all our Victorian Curriculum components, although instead of just reading out all the content descriptors it would have been more beneficial to just focus and pinpoint how it relates, and how it was incorporated

Take a glass beaker and using a pipette, mix a dash of Miss Marple's amateur sleuthing, a few drops of Nancy Drew's spunk and determination, a little pinch of Houdini and a whole lot of Friedrich Wöhler's talent for organic chemistry and you've got yourself a perfectly made solution in the form of an 11-year old girl called Flavia de Luce.

Uncle Tungsten was a medium for Oliver Sacks to talk about his scientific upbringing. Both parents were medical professionals and his Uncle who owned a factory that created light bulbs with Tungsten filaments. Sacks discusses how his family inspired him to go on and conduct scientific experiments that were influenced by his family members. This novel would be great for those beginning chemists that want some extra inspiration in the science. This book is common in high school chemistry classes. Brian Grove from Bond County Community Unit 2 High School in Greenville, IL. allows his students to read the book for assignments. The grade level is for sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Fantastic read for the aspiring

The Feiner Points of Leadership is one of the interesting and application oriented books I have read. I would recommend the book to my friends and colleagues who aspire to be a good leader. This book should be read by all the leaders and managers to be successful. It exemplifies some of the important skills manager or leader should practice at the same time it explains the mistakes one should avoid being a successful and effective leader. Michael Feiner’s experience in PepsiCo, given examples and instances in his tenure makes it easier to understand the facts in detail. These examples also helps retain all the points and laws explained in the book.
