Recommended: Effects of sugar on the human body

Purpose: To determine the effect of temperature, particle size and stirring in dissolving a sugar cube in water
Hypothesis: I think that the stirring rod and temperature will affect this the most. Warm water with the stirring rod will make the sugar dissolve the fastest. The crushed cube in warm water will dissolve the faster due to it already being seperated.
Materials:
⦁ 2 Beakers
⦁ 4 Sugar cubes
⦁ 2 Sugar packets
⦁ Coffee stirring rod
⦁ Source of warm and cold water
⦁ Place to dump sugary water and clean beaker
Method:
1. Put 100 ml of cold water in beaker # 1 and recorded temperature
2. Put 100 ml of warm water in beaker # 2 and recorded temperature
3. Dropped a sugar cube into both beakers and recorded the time to dissolve.
4. Emptied both …show more content…

The most effective factors for dissolving sugar were water temperature (as colder water tended to increase the dissolving time), the stirring rod (as it reduced the time to dissolve a massive amount) and if the sugar was a cube or from a packet (as the sugar from the packet dissolved quite a bit faster than the sugar cube).
4. We get sugar from sugar cane. Sugar has to be extracted from inside of it.
5. I think that I consume 100s of grams of sugar every day. Sugar is in almost every food item I find, so I must consume a very high amount of it per day. I could keep track of how much sugar i'm taking in by reading the label of every food item I eat and measuring how much of that food i'm consuming. I would then look at the nutrition facts and see how much sugar is in a serving to compare it to how much food I'll eat so that I can estimate the amount of sugar in the food that I would eat.
6. Sugar has a negative impact on human health. We crave more and more sugar, but the sugar only makes us feel worse. Because of this, sugary foods should be avoided. The least amount of sugar possible for you should be eaten each

    I blended on high to make the potatoes more liquid-like. I grabbed the cheesecloth and placed on the top of the blender. I poured the potato extract on the container and labeled it. I found out that I have to make 1% sugar solution so I grabbed the sugar and measured into 5 grams on the scale. I added 5 grams of sugar on 250 ml graduated cylinder and poured the water into the cylinder. I mixed the sugar with water and poured it into the saucepan. I refilled the water into the graduated cylinder and poured into the saucepan. I turned on the heat of the stove and saw the sugar dissolved. I poured into a container and labeled 1% sugar solution. I repeated the same thing with 1% salt solution by using 1 gram of salt and filled the water into graduated cylinder by 100 ml. I answered question three. In the first experiment, I grabbed four transfer pipets and used it to put solutions into the test tubes by 3ml. I labeled it and placed into the plastic cups so it can stand upright.

  • Persuasive Essay On Sugar Consumption

    We are all familiar with sugar. It is sweet, delicious, and addictive; yet only a few of us know that it is deadly. When it comes to sugar, it seems like most people are in the mind frame knowing that it could be bad for our health, but only a few are really taking the moderate amounts. In fact, as a whole population, each and everyone of us are still eating about 500 extra calories per day from sugar. Yes, that seems like an exaggerated number judging from the tiny sweet crystals we sprinkle on our coffee, but it is not. Sugar is not only present in the form of sweets and flavourings, it is hidden in all the processed foods we eat. We have heard about the dangers of eating too much fat or salt, but we know very little about the harmful effects of consuming too much sugar. There still isn’t any warnings about sugar on our food labels, nor has there been any broadcasts on the serious damages it could do to our health.
