The results which had been gathered and collected based on the recorded data included, a 0.4℃ increase in body temperature, after the consumption of mild salsa, and a 0.8℃ increase in body temperature, after the consumption of hot or spicy salsa. After group results and data had been calculated and recorded, the group data had signified that there had been minor differences between the calculated body temperatures of the test subject consuming the mild salsa and the test subject consuming the hot salsa. Though minor differences or changes between the body temperatures of the mild salsa eater and the hot salsa eater occurred, the maximum change in ℃ slightly varied with a 0.4℃ maximum change for the mild salsa consumer and a 0.8℃ maximum change for the spicy salsa consumer. Maximum changes which occurred in the class average results included a 0.41 ℃ change for the mild salsa eater and a 0.42 ℃ change for the hot …show more content…
or spicy salsa eater. The results which had been gathered and recorded did not reflect a significantly high change in temperature between the mid salsa consumer and the hot salsa consumer. The hypothesis which had been developed based on the aspects of the experiment, had been supported by the gathered data. As the hypothesis had stated if sweating occurs after the consumption of hot and mild salsa, due to an increase in body temperature, then a person consuming hot salsa will increase body temperature more than a person consuming mild salsa, the data had been valid and supported, as the person who consuming the hot salsa had increased greater body temperature than the person consuming the mild salsa. However, though the collected data had supported the hypothesis, the changes between the body temperatures of the test subjects consuming the hot and mild salsas had not massively differed, but had slightly varied. Throughout the conduction of this experiment, certain sources of error or inaccuracy had occurred. Sources of error or inaccuracy included, the starting or beginning body temperatures of each of the test subjects, as they had not been set to room temperature or the standard body temperature. Other sources of inaccuracy included the paces or rates at which people consumed their hot or mild salsa and tortilla chips. The varied paces at which people consumed the salsas and chips had not been consistent and had impacted or affected the experiment, resulting in a flaw. additional negative impacts or inadequacies which had occurred during the performance of the experiment included, the brands or types of hot and mild salsas which had been used throughout the experiment. The brands of salsas had caused flaws as the experiment had been conducted, as the brand or type of salsa may have not been excessively hot or spicy, disallowing the body temperature of the test subject consuming the hot salsa to greatly or significantly increase body temperature. With insufficiency, and negative impacts which affected the accuracy of our collected data, logical procedures or steps to improve this experiment would include, to test or experiment on a different type or brand of salsa which contains or provides a greater amount of spice or heat.
As the hypothesis states the consumption of hot salsa causes sweat to occur, due to an increase in body temperature, experimenting using a different brand or type of salsa containing a greater amount of heat or spice would be effective, as a great extent of spice would support the stated hypothesis and would result in a higher increase in body temperature. Other logical and more effectual aspects of the experiment which can be altered would include, the portions and amounts of mild and hot salsa which are provided throughout the experiment. Altering the portions and amounts of mild and hot salsa given to more massive and larger servings would result in a successful experiment, as the object or motive of the lab is to identify if the stated hypothesis is accurate and
supported. To conclude the analysis, assessment, and evaluation of my collected data, the final or ending calculated results had included a 0.4℃ increase in body for the person consuming the mild salsa, and 0.8℃ increase in body temperature for the person consuming the hot salsa, with a class average of 0.41℃ body temperature increase for the mild salsa and a 0.42℃ body temperature increase for the spicy salsa. The established hypothesis had claimed the test subject consuming the hot salsa with the tortilla chips would sweat and increase in a higher body temperature than the person eating the mild salsa with the tortilla chips, as a greater amount of heat or spice would result in increased body temperature. The collected data and results had been supported by the stated hypothesis, as the hot or spicy had caused the test subject consuming the salsa to moderately increase body temperature. Uncontrolled sources of error and inaccuracy included the portions of both the mild and hot salsas and tortilla chips which had been distributed to each of the test subjects, as they had not been sufficient portions for the experiment. Other sources of inadequacy and failure included the rates at which the test subjects ate their chips and salsas, as not each person consumed their food at the same paces, resulting in a flaw. However, though certain flaws and sources of error had occurred throughout the conduction of this experiment, the gathered data and results had been adequately supported by the stated hypothesis based on which type of salsa is more likely to cause an increase in body temperature after consumption.
Does Hot and Mild Salsa play a part in raising body temperature? The topic I investigated was if eating hot or mild salsa would affect body temperature. The reasoning for testing the two salsa were to find if the salsa would cause a rise in body temperature after eating the salsa. My main hypothesis was, Spicy foods cause these symptoms because it raises your body temperature, and the backup hypothesis was spicy foods cause these symptoms because of a chemical reaction. My prediction if my main hypothesis is true, if we eat spicy food, then our body temperature will rise, and for the null hypothesis prediction, if we eat spicy food, then our body temperature will not rise. During the experiment, I found that the main hypothesis was incorrect,
I don’t really like chiles, but because of the many benefits it gives, my point of view about chiles have changed and my connection with it builds up . The Joy of Jalapeños, an essay that demonstrates the culture, history, Burciaga’s personal involvement about the jalapeños and health benefits of the chiles, is written by Jose Antonio Burciaga, an author and Chicanismo expert. And through his own experiences, and thoughtful and careful examination of scientific evidence about the health benefits of a jalapeño, Burciaga have persuaded me into consuming more jalapeños.
In the world of party chips and zesty dips, the Sensational Salsa company has created a new brand of salsa flavor. Having believe that they have created a culinary masterpiece, the company has already produced a mountains worth of their new salsa flavor. However, when they begin selling the salsa, they were shocked when the statistic showed that many children and adults did not enjoy the taste of their new flavor. Devastated by the news, the Sensational Salsa company deployed a questionable tactic to persuade more people into buying their salsa and change their attitude towards their product: they plan to pay off parents to lie on Facebook about how much they enjoyed the salsa. By employing this method of persuasive communication, the Sensational Salsa company will try to change the attitude the public has of their product both cognitively and affectively.
The essay Eating Chili Peppers, written by Jeremy MacClancy, is a description essay. This author demonstrates a concise descriptive nature using a very fixed vantage point. It is clear to any reader what the author’s opinion of eating chili peppers is. The writer uses various similes to ignite the reader’s senses and leave a dominant impression. For example, “Biting into a tabasco pepper is like aiming a flame-thrower at your parted lips” (287) and “Tears stripe your cheeks, and your mouth belches fire like a dragon celebrating its return to life” (287).
Salsa became America’s top-selling condiment 25 years ago (“9 Spicy Things You Didn't Know About Salsa”). Salsa has been made the same way since the beginning, but there have been a few alterations. Making Salsa is an easy process that anyone can learn. I have been making Salsa with my father since I was a little girl.
In this observation project the results will show and discuss that of a natural observation. When presented with a choice of a snack, such as a healthy option or unhealthy option what will most people choose? In the second half of this observation, A variable will be added in order to change the behavior.
== = == Hypothesis for the experiment: After I conduct this experiment, I expect and suppose I can recognize and physical changes, identifying the difference these two kinds of changes. Also, I will be able to know some physical and chemical properties of copper (II) sulfate, water, iron, sodium carbonate, hydrochloric acid and magnesium and identify if it is a chemical change or physical change in each part of the experiment.
Going into details of the article, I realized that the necessary information needed to evaluate the experimental procedures were not included. However, when conducting an experiment, the independent and dependent variable are to be studied before giving a final conclusion.
Gina Valdes was born in Los Angeles, California and grew up on both sides of the U.S.A-Mexico border. Growing up on both sides of the border greatly influenced her life and her writing, since she was able to experience both traditions and customs at first hand. Crossing borders and identity are both reoccurring themes that Gina decides to interpret in her writings. The English and Spanish languages as well as both cultures weave through her life. Valdes received degrees from the English and Spanish departments at the University of California, San Diego. She has also taught both languages at various universities such as at the University of California, San Diego and San Diego State University. Gina Valdes is the author of two bilingual poetry collections Puentes y Fronteras (Bridges and Borders) and Comiendo Lumbre (Eating Fire) both are from the Bilingual Press. English con Salsa is a poem from one of her poetry collections where she uses all the techniques and themes she is best known for.

Each person has unique preferences for certain tastes and types of food. Some of these preferences are due to environmental factors, while others have genetic components (Yeomans 2010). One such genetically influenced trait is the ability to taste phenylthiocarbamide (PTC). PTC was discovered by accident in 1931 by colleagues Arthur Fox and C. R. Noller. While working in the laboratory, dust from the PTC bottle flew around and Noller complained of the bitter taste while Fox noticed nothing. The two then tried the crystals and observed a distinct difference in their ability to taste PTC. Fox proceeded to investigate this phenomenon and determined that he found both tasters and non-tasters within varied groups of individuals (Fox 1932). PTC has since been a topic of wide interest within fields as diverse as genetics, psychophysiology, ecology, evolution, nutrition, and science education (Wooding 2006). Due to the fact that the phenotype is nearly impossible to guess until explicitly tested, yet once tested quite striking, it has often been used to spice up educational lessons (Wooding 2006).
The purpose of the lab was to show the effect of temperature on the rate of
Several studies in the recent years have demonstrate that eating behaviour can be influence by many factors and social factors is long believe to be the major influence on the drives of individual. The social influence on meal eaten with other people is independent to the situations, location, meal time, snacks or alcohol (De Castro, 1990). The correlation between factors such as the variety of food available, the number of people and the relationship between people are just three of the many social factors which has been proven to have strong and noticeable effect on the food consume. First of all we will start by looking at the effect which varieties of food available will have on the eating habit of individual. It is commonly know that much of our eating habit is largely affect by the appearance, smell and the taste of food. Therefore by increasing the variety available, it will encour...
