In today’s times, kids all over the world are making different types of slimes to keep themselves entertained. Slime has been around for many years, but recently there has been new ways to make slime at home. Slime can be made using many different ingredients. Some common ingredients used to make slime include; Borax, baking soda, contact lens solution, water, and liquid starch. All of these slime recipes have one ingredient in common, glue. Kids have an array of substances they can add to their slime mixture to create more fun. Additional substances can include food coloring, glitter, Orbeez, small toys, beads, or even confetti. Does decorating slime mixtures increase the consistency of a standard slime mixture? Orbeez can make the slime feel …show more content…
The ingredients used in making slime contain fundamental additives that, when mixed together, cause the thick, gooey, slime every kid enjoys. Polymers are made from several smaller molecules joined by chemical bonds. The polyvinyl allows the mixture to feel slimy. Combing the polyvinyl and Borax together creates a chemical reaction. The mixture becomes cold, thicker, and elastic. This combination mixed together produces slime that is fun and safe for all ages.
Glitter is used in today’s society in or on almost everything. Glitter can be purchased in a variety of sizes and colors. Glitter can be made from tiny pieces of glass, paper, plastic, minerals, polyester or even stone. The light reflecting off of these tiny pieces is what cause glitter to shine at different angles. Glitter can be used in crafts, clothing, makeup and nails, body and hair sprays, and even on food with an edible version.
Food coloring is typically used in food and drink products. Another term used for food coloring is artificial color. It is added to give the product a certain colored appearance. Food coloring can come as a gel, paste, liquid, or powder. Food coloring contains various chemicals but is often based from petroleum
Mixing sodium polyacrylate and water resulted in in a thick, clear gel that resembled ice or snow. It was sticky and wouldn’t form a shape if you held it in your hand and molded it. Adding heated water and sprinkling in poly(vinyl alcohol) to the surface of the water produced another sticky
Cephalopods are known to be exceptionally intelligent by invertebrate standards and in some respects even rival “higher” vertebrates. These animals have many highly evolved sensory and processing organs that allow them to gain a greater understanding of their environment and their place within it. Due to their advanced structures, many of which are analogous to vertebrate structures, and abilities they have been widely studied. Their methods of learning have been of prime interest and many experiments have been conducted to determine the different ways in which octopuses can learn. From these experiments four main kinds of learning have been identified in octopuses: associative learning, special learning,
Glow sticks get their “glow” when two chemicals are mixed together because of a chemical reaction. The chemical reaction is called Chemiluminescence. A Typical glow stick has a plastic tube with a smaller inner tube inside. There are three components, two chemicals and a fluorescent dye which accepts the energy and helps covert to light. There is more than one way to make a glow stick, but the most common uses a solution of hydrogen peroxide and phenyl oxalate ester along with the fluorescent dye. The hydrogen peroxide is in its own compartment away from the other two components until ready to use. The fluorescent dye is what determines the subsequent color of the glow stick when the chemical solutions are combined.
The lab experiment did prove that Crayola colors are not of pure substances but rather a mixture of specific color compounds needed to produce said colors. The experiment also proved that different color pigments have different densities (the lighter ones moved up the filter paper with the water, while the heavier ones adhered to the filter paper longer.)
Lean Fine Textured Beef (LFTB); or its more common name in recent years, Pink Slime is becoming quite the hot topic. Questions are raised on whether the pink slime is safe for human consumption. The name alone has given it a pretty negative reputation. On top of whether or not pink slime is safe or not, another concern is what benefits, if any does it offer as opposed to other meat alternatives. Not different than any other story this one has two sides; although there are a lot of allegations that pink slime is not safe for human consumption and it does not offer any benefits, there are many responses putting the allegations to rest. What if it wasn’t called pink slime?
With the molecules being spread out when they are hot, there are less of the molecules in one sample, when a sample is pulled. With fewer molecules in a certain area, this causes that area to weigh less (source 1). By weighing less, that mixture is able to move easier through different substances. For example, by the oil being heated and the food coloring being in the oil and water, the oil and food coloring are both able to “mingle” with each other (source 2). This contributes to the substance resembling “lava” in the lava lamp. The oil starts off being heavier than the water in the bottle, so when heat is added, the oil and water are able to move together in sync. With the water and the oil mixing with each other, the food coloring moves with the water and oil (source 2).
The major sites for the production of ammonia are the intestines, liver, and kidneys. It is biosynthesized through normal amino acid metabolism. The kidneys generate ammonia from glutamine by the actions of renal glutaminase and glutamate dehydrogenase. Ammonia is formed from urea by the action of bacterial urease in the lumen of the intestine, which is absorbed from the intestine by the portal vein. Amines obtained from diet and monoamines that serve as neurotransmitters or hormones can create ammonia by action of amine oxidase. In purine and pyrimidine catabolism, amino groups attached to the rings are released as ammonia.
In any production of certain metabolites or products in fungal life cycle, two phases of metabolism must involve which are primary and secondary metabolisms. In this new and modern era, fungal biotechnology has evolved and developed in order to allow a commercially fungal utilization of the metabolic processes in a viable manner. To conclude, fungi have contributed a lot in economy significantly. This included in the industries of chemical commodities, antibiotics, enzymes, vitamins, pharmaceutical compounds, fungicides, plant growth regulators, hormones and proteins.
Slime is a special play material made up of tangled polymer. It is mostly made by mixing polyvinyl with the chemical compound known as borate ions, you can describe it as a liquid and mix it in a sizable container for mixing. In a more difficult explanation, slime is more commonly known amongst scientists as a Non-Newtonian fluid. These are thick liquids that have a numerous selection of viscosity.

Microbes are microscopic life forms, usually too small to be seen by the naked eye. Although many microbes are single-celled, there are also numerous multi-cellular organisms. The human body has 10-100 trillion microbes living on it, making it one giant super-organism. Since the first link between microbes and diseases was made, people have been advised to wash their hands. Scientists, however, have recently started to investigate more closely how the microbes that call the human body home affect our health. While some microbes cause disease, others are more beneficial, working with our bodies in many subtle ways.
Laundry detergents have had a great impact on the society since it helps our life in keeping ourselves clean, lessens our job or the use of our energy in cleaning our appliances. Laundry detergents have come a long way since the very first bar soaps, made from animal fat and lye, were offered for sale in the 1700s. In the 1950s, homemakers had more options of fabric care since the introduction of synthetic detergents were placed on the market. However; during the 1970s, the most significant innovation in advanced cleaning was made available to clean specific types of stains. Every detergent manufacturer has secret ingredients and mixtures to produce their specific brands of laundry detergent. Many of these ingredients are extracted from plants,
Microorganisms are a part of every productive soil; there is no soil that is without microorganisms. Without the work of microorganism there would be no soil. While microorganisms work they begin to make the soil more fertile. This makes for a better plant environment. Most microorganisms can photosynthesize, so they do not need to find their own food (Franzmeir).
Human cells are partially made up of liquids that are both inside and outside of our cells. The water inside the cell is called intracellular fluid (ICF) and makes up about 42% of the total body weight. On the other hand, extracellular fluids (ECF) usually denote all body fluid outside of the cells. In order to define which area the fluids are based, they are determined by its location to the cell membrane. For instance, if the fluids are found to be on the outside of the cell membrane, it would signify that we are viewing ECF. Just the opposite, if the fluids are on the inside, we can conclude it is ICF. If we were to look at these fluids in-depth, intracellular fluids are high in potassium and magnesium and low in sodium and chloride ions, whereas extracellular is mostly sodium and chloride.
