Methods There are many important factors to any experiment, including the materials. To continue, the quantity of materials for this experiment varies from a refrigerator to tweezers, but they all need to be included for the best results. First, the larger materials needed to complete the experiment are refrigerator, freezer, stove, one ice box, one scale which could be large or small, one blender, one cooking pot, one large jar or cup, and at least 400 milliliters of distilled water. Next, the smaller supplies begin with at least five coffee filters, one pair of scissors, enough ice cubes to fill the ice box and have at least eight left over, one potato peeler, at least two potatoes, one knife, one gallon plastic bag, one clean bowl or wax …show more content…
To start, a website was recommended to the students called Science Buddies. In fact, there were quantities of experiments that could’ve utilized but didn’t seem worthy. Also, other websites, had plenty of ethical material, but didn’t show a benefit to society. Later, finding an intriguing experiment on the original Science Buddies website was the outcome of research with the bonus of a societal benefit. To continue, it wasn’t until further investigation was done on the topic that the society benefit was located. Next, the website had listed a minimum of three trials, but it was moved to four, for more accurate results. To continue this further, more accurate results could be retrieved from the data with higher quantities of trials, because more constant data can support or disagree with the …show more content…
Put the hydrogen peroxide (In the jar) in the water, and the thermometer in the hydrogen peroxide
5. Once it reaches thirty degrees C test the solution. Test the activity by submersing the coffee filter in the potato solution for five seconds and dropping it in the hydrogen peroxide. With the timer for the coffee filter to sink and rise
• Test the enzyme activity at forty degrees C
1. Fill the baby food jar with 2 ¾ tbsp. of hydrogen peroxide after cleaning
2. Fill a cooking pot with water about four centimeters deep and put the thermometer in it
3. Heat the water until it reaches sixty degrees C and take off the stove and put the hydrogen peroxide in the water (In the jar)
4. Once the hydrogen peroxide reaches forty degrees C test the solution Test the activity by lowering the coffee filter in the potato solution for five seconds and dropping it in the hydrogen peroxide. With the timer for the coffee filter to sink and rise
• Make sure to record the time taken for the coffee filter to sink and rise and the temperature of the solution
• Each temperature trial should be conducted at least four times
• For each temperature calculate the average time taken

    According to PubChem (2015), hydrogen peroxide (34.01468 g/mol) consists of two hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms that can be seen in liquid and powder form. The liquid form is visible to the human eye as a colorless liquid with a clear odor that could be described as irritating or distinct. The aqueous molecule can be broken apart fairly easily, as it is a very unstable molecule with a bent shape. When coming in contact with certain organisms’ tissues and organs, H2O2 is broken down by catalase to prevent major damage to the tissues.…

    Task 2 & 3: A. Pile the seaweed up on the tin lid supported on a tripod and begin heating with a strong Bunsen flame. It may have to be added a portion at a time during the heating, given the quantity to be reduced to ash. When all has been turned to ash, about a dessertspoonful of residue will remain. During the experiment we piled the seaweed into a tin container and placed it on top of a tri-pod which was placed over a Bunsen burner allowing the seaweed to burn and inevitably turn into ash so the extracting of iodine can begin.…

    Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition that occurs mainly in the wrists. But people can get it in other areas of the body too, such as the elbows. It is caused by the nerves getting pinched because of repetitive movements that damage the delicate tendons and bones. Since the wrists are fairly small in size, there isn't enough room for the nerves to move freely enough. So some of them get trapped.…
