When something is bent or snapped in half, you often notice that it can never go back to its normal state. My project is to show the difference in between snapping/ripping something in half, completely frozen and room temperature. I will be recording the way that different types of candy bars snap/rip in half frozen verses room temperature.
There are two different types of deformation, elastic and plastic deformation. Elastic deformation is when the candy or material is “springy”. It also means that when you try to bend, snap, stretch it, etc. That the object, or in my case, candy. Will go back to its original state. For example; a bendy plastic ruler. You can bend it, or twist it and it will always go back to its original state. As long

This occurs when you bend, stretch, or damage the object in anyway and the object is permanently damaged and cannot spring back into its original state. Take a glass plate for example, when it drops hard enough. It will break into 2 or more pieces and it cannot go back into its original state. Now, you can apply glue to try and glue pieces together but it will not look like it did when you first dropped it.
There is also an in between state that certain objects can fall into, such as a paper clip. You can bend it, but if you bend it too far it can snap and that would make it a Plastic Deformation. This will also affect the different types of candy that I will be testing room temperature and when it is frozen. The way that the candy snaps, or stretches will very. Because some types of candy do not snap, it simply bends or twists.
Thermal energy also has a lot of place to take in my project, thermal energy is the energy contained in a system that is responsible for its temperature. Also, room temperature is warmer than what it is frozen, it also depends on how warm the room is or where the candy has been. If you’re rough with the candy bars, chances are that the candy bar will break with little to no problem when you go to bend or snap
