Materials: 5 ft length of schedule 40 PVC pipe 10 inch length 3/4 inch wooden dowel 1 container of potassium nitrate based stump remover 1 bag of bentonite clay based kitty litter 1 bag of powdered sugar 1 roll duct tape Model rocket igniters or fuse 7/32 drill bit Hypothesis: The best ratio for potassium nitrate to powdered sugar is 1 to 3 because Grant Thompson who has experimented with the best ratio of powdered sugar to potassium nitrate has stated that “the 1 to 3 ratio is best for creating the most amount of thrust from your rocket.” This paired with a rounded fin design will get the most distance from our rocket. The rounded fin design will block less air and stabilize the rocket. Purpose: We are doing this this experiment to …show more content…
Cut down the dowel to six inches and mark it at 1-7/16 inches, 2-1/4 inches, and 3 inches. Create three different mixtures of potassium nitrate and powdered sugar; one that is three parts potassium nitrate to one part powdered sugar, one that is two parts potassium nitrate to two parts powdered sugar, and three parts powdered sugar to one part potassium nitrate. Each part is 25 grams. Take the bentonite clay and grind it in a blender until it is at a powdery consistency. Fill a pvc section with one tablespoon of clay (make sure the pvc is on a flat surface). Take the wooden dowel and put it inside the pvc section. Hit the dowel with a mallet 5-10 times until the clay forms a strong plug at the end of the pvc. Pour a mix into a length until it reaches the top of the pvc. slowly push the dowel until it stops allowing you to stick it in farther. The mix will compact. Pour out some of the mix if it goes higher than the second mark on the dowel. If it is below the mark add more white mix until it reaches the second mark on the dowel. Fill the other end with clay powder until you reach the third mark on your dowel. Make hole with a 7\32 drill bit until you reach the white powder at the other
Step4: Put flour on a surface and roll the dough until its ¼ in thickness.
1) Measure out 200cm3 of water using a measuring cylinder and use a small amount of this to make a paste with 2g of soluble starch.
Gather a teaspoon size sample of soil and sprinkle it on the white plastic tray
When the slip is ready, pour the slip into a pitcher. From the pitcher, the slip has to be poured into the mold until the mold is filled to the top. Once the slip reaches the top, tap the sides of the mold to ensure there are no bubbles. If the slip goes down into the mold slightly, add more to the mold. (5 minutes)
Heat the agarose solution in a microwave to dissolve the powder. Stop the microwave every 10-15 seconds to stir the solution.
Add half a spatula (no more) of sand into the mortar with the leaves, and then add 5ml acetone with the pipette into the mortar as well.
Place the dry ingredients in a bowl and then mix them all slowly with the whisk.
...how clay holds water. But we were unable to complete this test due to time constraints.
To begin, get one of your bowls and your mixing utensil. Then, in your bowl, measure 1 cup of warm water, and pour it in. You can either warm it up in your microwave or set your faucet to the warm setting. Next, measure 1 teaspoon of Borax powder and pour it into the warm water. Be careful during this stage because Borax is a dangerous chemical; I definitely recommend adult supervision. Once, you pour in the Borax, mix until it is dissolved. Then put the mixture aside, as the next step awaits you.
* Amount of sugar solution in each test tube. * The potatoes have to have the same mass.
Add ½ teaspoon (2.5mL) of the ‘Borax Solution’ mixture and 2 tablespoons (30mL) of cornstarch to the glue in the ‘Ball Mixture’ container. Do not stir – wait 15 seconds for the ingredients to interact, then begin stirring with the stirring rod to combine
Do the same with the sugar in the cups labeled sugar and the fertilizer in the cups labeled fertilizer. Do not stir the fertilizer into the soil
Prepare silica gel column. Add 6 g of silica gel in 20 mL of hexane to make a slurry. Block column with small piece of glass wool, add 5 mL of hexane and then add the silica slurry up to the 10 cm mark.
Start by sectioning the hair into four section and secure each part with a clip. This will allow you to spray each section and make sure that it is completely covered. Go from one section to the other until your entire head is covered. Now leave the rinse on hair for 45 minutes cover with a plastic cap under heat cap to help it penetrate the strand. Afterwards let it sit on hair for another 30 minutes to allow the color to set in and your scalp to cool down to room temperature. Now all you do is rinse hair with cool water to remove all extra mix and to help close your
