During the movie flubber, I made connections to this year’s physical science class. The following topics are discussed in this essay, polymers, physical properties, raditation, renewable engery, other types of energy, flight, and real world possibilities. In the beginning of the movie it talks about a “propulsive polymer”, and we learned about polymers in chapter twenty-four. We learned that a polymer is a substance that has a molecular structure consisting of a large number of similar units bonded together called monomers. These monomers must have been in a perfect combination to have these unique properties that makes flubber seem to be a fantasy object. The professor could modify these monomers to make the flubber have many other properties. The substance also has unlimited uses and possibilities, because it can be applied anywhere easily. The properties of flubber are ductile, moldable, foldable, can phase shift, ticklish, gullible, and elastic. It also says it’s an elastomer which is a natural or synthetic polymer having elastic properties, such as rubber. Flubber is also green. The temperature in which the flubber was formed may have affected the color of the substance. When making flubber the professor used his hair as a catalyst, which gave flubber human like properties. The professor made new life, which rewrites all the laws of physics. This year we learned about radiation and it was inferred that flubber is very reactive to gamma radiation. We know this,
One of Wilkins’ most talked about achievements was the development of radiation shielding against gamma radiation, emitted during electron decay of the Sun and other nuclear sources. He developed mathematical models by which the amount of gamma radiation absorbed by a given material can be calculated. This technique of calculating radiative absorption is widely used among researchers in space and nuclear science
Part two of the experiment focused on household items like food and cleaning products. It was interesting to see how different chemicals react with the bromthymol blue. The all purpose cleaner turned into a light yellow
Someone hands you a container of a mysterious white mixture, and they give you the task to figure out what it is. What would you do to solve the problem at hand? Many scientists might find physical and chemical properties to figure it out. The scientists might look for, odor change, temperature change, fizzing, and bubbling for chemical properties. They also inspect the mixtures for physical properties before a chemical reaction occurs, including shape, size, color, texture, and smell. The Eighth grade thinks that the mystery mixture is C6H8O7(Citric Acid) and NaHCO3(Baking Soda).
In conclusion what makes Oobleck act like both a liquid and a solid? In your mind think that you can see the individual molecules of corn flour and water then think about how they might act when being pushed and pulled. The corn flour and water mixture will act like a solid and a liquid this type of mixture is an example of suspension. The particles stay undissolved in a liquid and corn flour molecules are dispersed into the water. If the cornstarch mixture is pinched, it causes the molecules to go closer together. The effect of the force traps the water between the flour molecules to form a solid shape. When you let go the pressure of your fingers the corn flour will be able to flow like liquid. Viscosity is the resistance for a liquid to
Cornstarch was the next powder experiment on. Cornstarch is a white, soft powder generally used as a thickening agent in liquid-based foods such as soups or sauces. When mixed with lower temperature liquids, it forms a past/slurry. As the starch is heated, the molecular chains unravel, allowing them to collide with other starch chains to form a mesh, thickening the liquid (Starch gelatinization). When mixed with a fluid, cornstarch can make a non-Newtonian fluid, for example, adding water creates Oobleck while adding oil creates an Electro rheological fluid (a suspension of extremely fine non-conducting particles which can be up to 50 micrometers in diameter) (Cornstarch).
Have you ever wanted to see a science experiment in real life that has a reaction. Well that's what my science experiment is about. My experiment is called elephant toothpaste.
First of all, this is a theory. A theory is when a system of ideas are intended to explain something such as an event. There are many different theories in the world. Theories can be crazy and some of the theories are really believable. Theories can be about anything if you think about, all you need are the facts to back it up. Imagine all the theories that can be made. Some popular theories are that chemicals
The feature of fluorine has delayed to develop since it has a feature of reactivity that eats away the normal react container. This has paused on a development of discovery of fluorine but during the WW2 (1939-1945), America begun to deal a huge quantities of uranium trifluoride in order to develop the atomic bomb. From this point, the fluorine started to develop rapidly than the period time when it has no commercial productions of

Geiger was joined by Ernest Marsden to create a new instrument to detect whether alpha particles could be deflected at greater angles. This device was different from the previous in the way that the gold foil and radium were both inside a metal cylinder, which was fixed to a swivel. The microscope attached penetrated the wall of the cylinder. The lens of the microscope was covered in a zinc sulphide screen and the microscope could be moved in a full circle around the foil so Geiger could tally the flashes of light from every possible angle. He observed alpha particles deflecting by as much as 150°.
Explain how the study of living materials depends on the study of chemistry. Please explain. This answer should contain at least 150 words. If not, you will receive no credit.
Though polymers are a very beneficial thing now, but In the future I believe that at the very best that they will only hold the same value to society. I say this because polymers are not a very complicated item and it would be difficult to better this technology in a drastic way. The only further advancements I see are people discovering ways to make polymers stronger, more durable and better suited for extreme and
Corner in Wheat is a film created by D.W. Griffith in 1909. The film focuses on the three divisions of the wheat market, which was rare at the time because most films during the early twentieth century focused on people. The first division showcases the farmers who grow the wheat. The next division portrays the Wheat King, a wealthy businessman who controls the wheat market. The last division follows the bakery, the place that distributes the wheat, and the consumers who purchase the bread that is made from the wheat. The film has a variety of elements within the shots of the film.
The College of Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering is endlessly thriving to express its full potential. As your college, we are diligently working to preserve our hard-earned prestige and recognition obtained over the years. It is our goal to continue our advancement and become better than ever before. Our institution is home to some of the most intelligent minds in polymers who utilize our invaluable resources that are not available anywhere else.
In this reflective paper, I will be talking about the two movies: Matewan and On the Waterfront. I will tell you how each of these movies made me feel while I was watching them. Also, I will talk about how they relate to our HR book. Another thing that I will mention are the different acts and how the outcomes would’ve been different if they would have been in act at this time.
