The experiment will prove that the sizes of balloons can be affected by temperatures whether very cold or extremely hot. I want to do this experiment to see whether a balloon will grow or shrink when I put it in the freezer. I’m looking to see much the sizes change when the balloon is in the freezer as opposed to when leave it out at room temperature. My research will be based on what I will see, books , and a few websites. I will be measuring all four of my balloons daily. I will also be recording my data for fourteen days onto a table. My hypothesis states that if a balloon is in the freezer as opposed to leaving it out at room temperature the balloon in the freezer will expand more than the one at room temperature.

SI defines the Kelvin scale in two different points: 1) Absolute zero and 2) the triple point temperature of water. Absolute zero is the lowest possible temperature. It is assigned a value of 0 K. 0 K is equivalent to absolute zero. The triple point of water occurs at 0.06 atmosphere of pressure and at a temperature that is defined as 0.01 degrees celsius or 273.16 K. That is how we know that all units of temperature are related. (World Book Encyclopedia. Kieran Mullen). The other two units of temperature are Celsius and Fahrenheit. The lowest temperature in Celsius is zero degrees celsius which is also absolute zero for both Celsius and Fahrenheit. Fahrenheit is the most common of the units of temperature. It is the one that is mostly used in thermometers. We use Fahrenheit to measure the temperature of most things such as food, liquids, and many other things. We also use in the refrigerator and microwave. One degree Fahrenheit is equivalent to -17.2222 degrees celsius. One degree celsius is equivalent to 33.8 degrees celsius.

In these following paragraphs, the paragraphs will be about about balloons. There are three different types of balloons such as gas balloons, hot-air balloons, and sport balloons. According to Russell Lee, gas balloons can be filled with gases such as hydrogen, helium, natural gas, or any other gases that are lighter than air. Hydrogen is the
This scientific experiment is to gauge the amount of kernels popped when the storage temperatures of the kernels are changed. Does freezing popcorn kernels for 24 hours yield more or less popped kernels than popcorn kernels stored at room temperature? By performing this experiment we can decide how to maximize our food potential. We will purchase six identical brands of popcorn from the local food store that have the same ingredients, weight and brand name. We will take three of the bags of popcorn kernels and store it in a standard household freezer for twenty four hours. The temperature
Temperature: Measure of the average speed of molecules rather than the total amount of heat energy in matter.
Everything is measured, even the hottest and the coldest temperatures can be measured, and in that case, the word fahrenheit comes into use. the book Word People by Nancy Sorel, defines fahrenheit as “pertaining to a temperature scale that registers the freezing point of water as 32 F and the boiling point as 212 F under standard atmospheric pressure” (Sorel 99). But the word fahrenheit, itself has its history of its creation, and was named after a physicist engineer, named Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit. Fahrenheit would soon change the world of measuring.
Paintballs at a lower temperature will shrink and shoot farther because of less mass. In order to test this I will take 10 paintballs and put them in the freezer for 6 hours at 40 degrees, then 10 more and put them in the oven at 110 degrees for the same amount of time, then ten more at room temperature for the same amount of time. After the time has past i will have 2 people shoot 5 of each at targets to see which will shoot farther.
I learned since middle school that temperature is measured by two different thermometers. One is Fahrenheit and another is Celsius thermometer. However, I never knew why these two names (°F and °C) are used. It was until I started reading Chapter 5 today and found out that actually these Fahrenheit and Celsius are the last names of the two people who constructed thermometers. Fahrenheit thermometer scale ranges from 32°-212° while Celsius thermometer scale is from 0°-100°. Interestingly readings of -40° are the same on both Fahrenheit and Celsius thermometers. So a temperature of -40°F =
Temperature scales are also used in an attempt to make the concept of measuring pain more relatable. Across the world, temperature is measured in degrees Celsius. At zero, water freezes and, at one hundred, water boils. Despite Celsius being the global standard, the Fahrenheit scale was developed decades earlier. Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit based his temperature scale on two marks: on the lower end, the point where a mixture of salt and water would cease to exist as a liquid, and, on the upper end, a measure of normal body temperature. In an effort to add more confusion to the two standards, Lord Kelvin introduced the idea of an “absolute zero.” Absolute zero is the point where molecules and atoms are supposed to be essentially motionless. Despite this, research has showed that the motion doesn’t really stop. As Biss says, “…absolute is not absolute.” She finds that comforting, but not quite enough.
The interval level of measurement is quantitative information about intervals have meaning but ratios doesn`t. The temperatures are intervals because of the consistency in the changes of the heat. If it is 0 degrees Fahrenheit it would not have any meaning.
Today we use three temperature scales. The first of these scales was Fahrenheit scale. It was developed in 1714 by German scientist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit. He developed first mercury thermometer after being inspired by alcohol thermometer invented by Danish scientist Olaus Roemer. Fahrenheit made it more precise by multiplying his scale by four. He establish zero by mixing equal amount of water, ice and salt. Then he mixed just equal amount of ice and salt, and scales gave him next point 32. The last point he establish by using body temperature which was approximately 96. After his death his scale was adjusted to 32 as melting temperature of plain water, normal body temperature at 98.6 and boiling point of plain water at 212. Fahrenheit temperature scale was widely replaced by Celsius scale, except USA and some Caribbean countries.
Main Point Two: The measurement of inflated to the uninflated balloon is important throughout the balloon animal process.
The Fahrenheit scale was invented by a German physicist named Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit who the scale was named after. In 1714 the first modern thermometer as developed which was the mercury thermometer with more advanced measurements than all of the other thermometers created. The original Fahrenheit scale was not entirely accurate because it did not give an accurate calibrate. The Fahrenheit temperature scale ranged from 212 degrees (boiling point of water on this scale) to 32 degrees (boiling point on
_The tank is compressing the helium into a denser state but when it is put in the balloons it expands and takes up more space. __________________________________________________________________________
The test tube labeled number one was placed in ice water at 0° Celsius. The number two test tube was exposed to room temperature at 25° Celsius. The number three test tube was placed in boiling water at 100° Celsius. After three minutes, the bubble’s height of the three test tubes were measured
Rankine says that “A hypothetical theory is necessary, as a preliminary step, to reduce the expression of the phenomena to simplicity and order before it is possible to make any progress in framing an abstract theory. He created cycle that is used for steam powered installations (Outlines of the Science of Energetic 11).” The significance of this demonstrates that in any theory, a great hypothesis can support your argument fully or not, and this is used in the scientific method today. Rankine was rewarded with a unit, the rankine, named after him because of the work he has put out. The rankine is a unit in temperature that goes along with Fahrenheit. Unlike the Kelvin and Celsius, it takes about -458.67 degrees Fahrenheit to reach 0 degrees
Just as warm is to hot, cool is to cold. I might say that it is cool outside if it is not freezing yet, but I can barely see my breath. I can also say that an object is cool, like an apple just taken from the refrigerator. Anything that is not quite cold can be considered of cool temperature. Cool temperatures fall into the region between cold and average. These temperature regions are defined by the person describing the temperature. Cold feels cold; average feels average, and cool falls between the two. This feeling that defines cool makes standards of cool hard to specify. Each person has a good idea what she or he thinks a cool temperature is. Someone from Phoenix, Arizona might think a cool temperature is between 60 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit, while someone from Alaska might think cool is anything between 40 and 50 degrees Fahrenheit. It can also depend on how a body is feeling at the time. If a person is sick and has the chills, temperatures normally considered warm would now be considered cool. Just like my first definition, cool is different for everyone.
