Bounty seems to be more absorbent because it has tight stitching, which creates a larger surface area than other paper towel brands. This means that there is a larger amount of cellulose fibers in Bounty paper towels. Bounty is also thicker and softer than both the Sparkle and Dutch Fork High School paper towels, which are major factors that play into the absorbency of a paper towel. Based on this research the hypothesis was if Bounty, Sparkle, and Dutch Fork High School paper towels are tested for water absorbency, then Bounty will absorb the most water since it has the greatest absorbency factors out of the three brands. There is constantly new paper towels being created and promising that they are more absorbent than others, but the only way people will know is by testing them out, which is why this experiment was conducted. In this experiment, the independent variable is the different brands of paper towel. The dependent variable is the amount of water each brand of paper towel absorbs in thirty seconds. The constant variables are the amount of water the paper towels are in, the amount of time the paper towels are in the water, the amount of time the paper towels are allowed to drip after being taken out of the water, and the tool used to measure the amount of water

1. Fill in the table below with the results from the monosaccharide test experiment, and your conclusions based on those results.

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.

Statistical analysis was performed with results as follows: the mean, or average number of candies per bag, was 55.648. The standard deviation, a measure of variance, was 2.8689. This means that the number of candies per bag can vary up to three candies. A histogram, a graph showing how the frequency of the data was distributed, was done to determine the characteristics of the data. The histogram appeared to be skewed to the left (negatively skewed). This means the data was not uniform.

The purpose of this experiment was to test multiple brands of popcorn under the same setting in order to conclude which one statistically popped the most kernels. I tested the butter flavor of Orville Redenbacher, Wal-mart’s Great Value brand, and Pop Weavers. The different bags of popcorn were popped in the same microwave for the same amount of time, 3 minutes and 15 seconds. Then, the popped corn was counted, as well as the un-popped kernels, in order to determine a ratio, and then I recorded the results in the data table. I repeated these steps two more times for a total of 3 trails for each brand. Then I compared the ratios of all the bags to determine which brand yielded the most popped corn. The statistical technique used to evaluate the data was to find a ratio between the number of kernels in the bottom of the bowl and the number of popped kernels. To find this, I divided the number of the actual popped corns by the total number of kernels left in the bottom of the bowl. The ratios and percent were then compared. Once all my results were in the data table, I averaged the 3 trials for each brand of popcorn.

Skittles are a hard shelled, fruit flavored candy loved by many today. Skittles first came into existence in Britain in 1974. They were introduced to the United States in 1979 but weren’t actually produced until 1982 where they are now a product of Wrigley. The Skittles catchphrase, “Taste the Rainbow” was came about in 1994. The Skittles Company has a variety of flavors from Sour Skittles, released in 2000; Bubble Gum Skittles, released in 2004; and Smoothie Fruit Mix, released in 2005. The Original Skittles consist of a strawberry flavor, an orange flavor, a lemon flavor, a green apple flavor, and a grape flavor. According to Wrigley, Skittles colors/flavors are all evenly distributed in each of their packs. So our question in hand was, is this claim actually true and if so, is the ratio of flavors in the regular sized (2.17 oz.) Skittles packs the same as the Fun Sized packs of Skittles? We chose do experiment with this because collectively as a group, we all love Skittles and from our understanding we initially assumed prior to conducting the experiment that Skittles had an equal number of flavors in each pack. There are five flavors in a pack, so that means that each pack should have 20% of each flavor. We decided that our null hypothesis would be H0:

In the poem, “Dusting,” Julia Alvarez uses symbolism and imagery to describe children’s desires to follow their own footsteps, instead of what their parent’s footsteps are. The poem is written in first person to delineate how the girl’s goal for herself differs from what her mother wants her to become.

We tested three different brands of bubble gum. The three brands are Bubble Yum, Bazooka, and Bubblicious. There were 3 people that blew bubbles for our experiment. My Mom, Dad, and myself were the three bubble blowers. We each read a couple of articles on the best way to blow big bubbles. We then chewed each piece of gum for three minutes before blowing the bubble. We used a ruler to measure the diameter of the bubble in centimeters. Through my research, I believe that the bubble gum with the highest sugar content will blow the biggest bubble.

Are pennies better clean or dirty? Clean, of course. Clean pennies are probably used more than dirty pennies, but maybe just clean all the dirty pennies with the products: orange juice, coca cola, and taco sauce and see which one cleans the pennies the best, so then just use those. If any of these products cleans pennies, then coca cola will clean the pennies the best. For independent variable it was the products and the dependent variable is the clean pennies. The control group is the coca cola and the experimental group is orange juice, coca cola, and the taco sauce. For this experiment there was only a few steps to do in order to have clean pennies. After all the materials are ready then pour the products into cups and put at least two pennies in each product. Once the products are in the cups then set timer for 30 minutes and repeat this step for three trials. Collect the weight of the pennies after 30 minutes each time and write it down to see which of the products took off most of the dirt on the penny. Collect all the other data that is needed. This is just one way that cleans pennies but

Loggerhead turtles might be seeing their last day on earth. Humans are killing the loggerhead turtles each year by commercial fishing and trawls, marine debris, and Artificial lighting on the beaches. We should make a difference to these loggerhead turtles and help them survive and be close to living a full live. Humans should not be careless to the innocent creatures. We need to act now, loggerheads are dying of our cruel actions.

Loggerheads are classified as adults when the reach reproductive maturity. Female loggerheads become sexually mature between 15 and 30 years of age (National Wildlife Federation n.d.). The age of sexual maturity can vary between or within populations because growth rates and size at sexual maturity have variation between and within populations (Dodd 1988). Adults are 70 to 90 centimeters in length, and the size at sexual maturity for males is generally similar to that of females. The adult has a reddish-brown upper head with a diffuse yellow lateral band extending along the head and into neck, which is yellow in color. The plastron is pale orange (Dodd 1988). In adults, males differ from females with larger bodies and a longer tail, and a

There were three hypotheses of the experiment. The first was, “we expect that demographic factors will predict the importance of taste, nutrition, cost, convenience, and weight control to individual persons”. This means that they (the scientist involved) believed that the personal characteristics (age, gender, income, and race) will affect the flavor of food, benefits

In order to obtain a random sample, three bags of M&Ms were purchased from different locations. Each bag of M&Ms was a 1.69oz bag that was the standard plain version of the candy. The M&Ms were then sorted by color and this data was collected and compiled. These results were also added to a larger sample

As Dagger is thrown threw a wall barely able to open his eyes struggling to keep fighting back thinking this is the end for him. Sheir looks at the hero Dagger and asks him if he has any last words.
