Slime Research Paper

On Tuesday I went to the Western Illinois University for chemistry day. We started off the day with making slime which was the first thing I learned that day. I had never made slime before so this was new to me and without the directions from the instructor I would of had no idea what I was doing. First you had to take white elmers glue and fill up to the line the had on the beakers they provided for us. Then you got to add food coloring. Unfortunately you could not add the food coloring yourself, which was probably smart because I feel like it would have gotten way out of hand. I chose yellow and red. I thought it would make orange, but it did not. I figured this was because the elmer's glue was white and it turned the glue salmon. Then we put the same measurement of cornstarch in the beakers and stirred with a spoon. …show more content…

Mine was tough and the the elmer’s glue and the cornstarch were having a hard time combining. The lady that was helping us said we should probably just take out the slime and use are hands to press it together. This was a really disgusting feeling. Mine was still not combining and was more stringy but still not coming together. We then decided to take some paper towels to the slime and see if we could get off the excess liquid. The lady said I put way too much cornstarch in mine and that I just needed to keep pressing mine together. I finally got the slime to stick all together. However it did not look like anyone else's at all. There's looked like slime. Mine looked like a hard type of putty than you couldn't pull apart unless you wanted to never get it back together again. Later on that day I ended up throwing it away because I got so

First, the 250-mL graduated cylinder, 100-mL graduated cylinder, and the 10-mL graduated cylinder were observed to see the volume of the liquid in each one. Then, one digit further was estimated, and the results were recorded. After that, the 25-mL graduated cylinder and the 50-mL beaker were cleaned and dried. Next, their masses were measured on the scale, and the results were rounded to the nearest thousands decimal place. Subsequently, the Erlenmeyer flask was filled with 100 mL of distilled water.

Our first method was to weigh the glass by putting it in a graduated cylinder of water and placing the glass inside and to observe the lever to with the water rose after first recording the original state of the water. The second test we preformed was to measure the glass and use it’s dimensions to determine the density. This procedure taught me how problem solve effectively and scientifically using information I previously learned in both chemistry and mathematics and applying it to this problem. This also gave me the ability to test the effectiveness of my experiment and decide which one was more proficient at producing an accurate test of the density of the glass. We continuously referred back to the original request of the experiment, making sure our goals aligned with the problem at hand, determining

Stop 1 – Stinky Cove/Fossil Point. After loading the bus we headed east on Cape Arago Highway until we got to fossil point. We parked and unloaded the bus and began walking along the small exposed sandy beach. At the bend we stopped and were asked to find a fossil, as I wandered around I couldn’t find much other than the ground up shells mixed in with the seaweed and sand. As we continued to walk we came to another spot where we were able to observe scallop fossils mixed with the rock it was coarse and grainy much like sandpaper.

During the Mixed Substances lab the objective was to see how many properties of individual substances compare with properties of mixed substances. From here on the words that would help you along the way of the lab for your research is mixture, homogeneous mixture, and last but least heterogeneous mixture. The hypothesis or guess on what would happen when the water is mixed with the cornstarch, is the cornstarch and water will mix and form a new liquid/solid. However, the Investigating Mixtures lab objective was to observe that not all liquids behave the same way when mixed with other liquids. Moreover the hypothesis of this experiment was that the vegetable oil and colored will separate because the vegetable oil will go to the top and the

Also, the pictures above show how the egg changed from being tight and solid to being flexible. The observations also say that the egg felt like a water balloon and was full of water inside. Overall, the egg greatly shrunk in size. Finally, when the egg was placed in corn syrup, it floated on the surface of the solution. This was because the egg floated in solutions hypertonic to its inside.
