Science of Sweat Experiment Evaluation

This experiment aim was to explore how sweating affects the human body, through a model of this process, with the body being represented as a test tube filled with warm water and the skin represented as a paper towel covering the test tube. The independent variable was the state of the paper towel; a wet, a dry, and none. The independent variables were considered the different tests tested. The strengths of the method used include the controlled variables of the experiment. They are the volume of the water, the layers of tissue, the type of tissue and the size of the test tube. These variables help keep the experiment fair between the tests performed. A strength of the model is that it was simple and …show more content…

One of the issues was pouring the water in the different test tubes at the same time, as only one member of the group poured in the water into the test tube at separate times. This is an issue as it makes the initial temperature for each of the test tubes lower than the recorded initial temperature (43 degrees Celsius) because the room temperature can cool down the water when the timer isn’t activated. It also affects the data as the temperature change for the first 3 minutes can’t be observed, so I can not know if the temperature for each of the test tubes decreased fast or slow from 0 to 3 minutes. This effect has great significance to making the data inaccurate, because the calculated temperature drop most likely is incorrect, meaning the evaluation of the hypothesis - that is based on the temperature drop - could be also wrong. Additionally, I can not observe an accurate reliable pattern between the different tests, because of the altered data. Although, regardless of the incorrect data I still could observe how each of the temperatures decreased differently for the period of time for each of the test tubes, because of coincidental having a hypothesis supported by the data. A realistic improvement that can reduce the impact of the issue on the data, is having the three members of the group, each of them in charge of a test tube, so each person will pour the amount of water needed, start the timer when they finish (each member will have a timer), measure and record the temperatures they get from the test tube they are in charge of. The results will be shared between the members

After seeing this data the two most effective look chemical at resisting energy was CaCl2 and LiCl. So we looked at the price of both of this chemical CaCl2 cost 6.55$ per 500g and LiCl cost 32.75$ per 500g because CaCl2 was substantially cheaper we decide to chose it to use in own hand warmer. We calculated that it would take 22g of CaCl2 to create a 20oC increase in temperature of 100ml of water. Some sources of error in this lab, would be heat escape from not be able to replace the lid of the calorement went adding chemical into it, inaccuracies in the balance, and not waiting of the proper time to recode the

I have never heard of a sweat lodge or even have the slightest clue what it is. I found it very interesting that this a purification process and all of the specifics that are necessary for this process. There are so many different specifics that are necessary that they must follow for the ceremony to take place. This has to be something that is very important to them if it is so serious.

The play sweat by Lynn Nott age takes place in the first decade of the 2000s. During the duration of the play we follow characters through a period of time where the factory they work at starts downsizing and then the union strikes. In response to this the workers are locked out and eventually their jobs get sourced out to Mexico. This all takes place in the small town of Reading, Pennsylvania and more specifically in a bar in this town for the majority of the play. The play speaks to the fragile human condition and many other topics, however, I will be focusing on what Nott age is saying about addiction in the play.

Before I began reading, I tried guessing what the story was about. Only knowing that the title was “Sweat”, I thought the story might be about sports or hard labor. Then I opened up the story and the first thing I noticed was that the author’s name was Zora Hurston. I only found out that the author was female once I saw “her” in the section below describing her life and writing career. I found out other important things such as she lived in Florida, she wrote during the Harlem Renaissance (1920s), she died impoverished, and her work was eventually found by the women’s movement.

On Tuesday in lab, we were first asked to brainstorm ideas for clocks. Some of the things we thought of that could be used as a clock were a simple pendulum, sun dial, your pulse, and drips from a leaky faucet. Then, we spent the rest of our time testing out the drippy faucet idea by poking a hole in the bottom of a cup, placing it above a graduated cylinder, filling it with water, and timing how long it took for the drips to fill up 10mL. While the hole was dripping out water, we had to continually put more water in the cup so that the pressure was consistent throughout the entire experiment. If we did not do this, the water could drip faster or slower depending on how much water was in the cup. We tested the amount of time it took to get

In the beginning of the experiment, both planets would have around the same temperature; however, the thinner atmosphere would eventually be hotter, then subside toward the end of the experiment. Two beakers with differing thicknesses of plastic wrap, with a lamp overhead, represents this scenario. According to a group’s data (their group number to be determined), both beakers with differing atmospheres steadily increase by 1℃ respectively until the fifth minute, where the planet with the thinner atmosphere has a hotter surface temperature. After four more trials, the beaker with the thinner atmosphere would increase until both beakers are around the same temperature again. In another group’s data (their group number also inconclusive), both
