Graphing Reciprocals for Iodine Clock lab Graphing Reciprocals for Iodine Clock lab Hello :) My students are preparing to do a modified version of your Iodine Clock lab later this month as part of learning about reactions. I would like to prepare them to know how to set up and graph reciprocal reaction rates as this lab. I understand that the reciprocals go on the y axis, what I'm unsure of is how they are arranged on that axis. Is there an online resource that demonstrates how these types of… Read more

dead zones

Ask an Expert Topic Forum: Grades 6-8: Physical Science

dead zones dead zones i am part of a team that is working on dead zones, could I fix dead zones by pumping oxygen rich water into it and mixing it around? Re: dead zones Hello! This is a very interesting question. Yes technically you could pump oxygen rich water into dead zones and mixing it around, but there are 2 issues with that: 1. If it is a large/deep dead zone it will be hard to do this process. 2. This would only be a temporary fix, because you are not fixing the problem at it's… Read more

Doing a script about synthetic vaccines Doing a script about synthetic vaccines Hi! I'm a student interested in biochemistry and doing a script about synthetic vaccines. I know that they are supposedly man made proteins to form RNA, but what exactly is the chemistry part about this? :D Re: Doing a script about synthetic vaccines Hello! It's awesome you are exploring biochemistry and synthetic vaccines! Synthetic vaccines are developed using synthesized peptides or proteins instead of whole… Read more

PVA Glue Ingredients

PVA Glue Ingredients PVA Glue Ingredients Hello Experts! I am helping my 7th grade son with a project. He wants to test the strength of various brands and types of PVA glue to find out which is the strongest. Knowing the ingredients of the various types does not help him with the actual experiment, but it would perhaps influence his hypothesis as well as help him understand why they performed differently in his experiments. I have done a lot of searching on brand websites and MSDS sheets but… Read more

Questions about the melt rate of ice

Ask an Expert Topic Forum: Grades 6-8: Physical Science

Questions about the melt rate of ice Questions about the melt rate of ice I'm doing a science fair project about how the shape of ice affects how fast it melts, and I have some questions about the melting rate of ice. I have two related questions: Do ice cubes melt faster on top of a hot surface, or surrounded by warm air? and Would an ice cube surrounded by other ice cubes melt at a different speed than a single ice cube in the same place?
