Procedures (slide 1 of 4)
1.
2.
Use the measuring tape to measure the packing peanuts length and
width in centimeters and record the findings. Put them in an order of one,
two, three; one is tap water, two is sugar, and three is Coca-Cola. This is
also because some of the packing peanuts may not be the same size.
3.
Get three plastic cups and use some tap water to measure one hundred
eighteen milliliters in your first cup, then mark where that water line is.
Make about five to seven marks, so it is all the way around the cup. Dump
out the water into the second cup, and cut with your scissors where the
mark is on the first cup. Cut with your scissors on the same point on the
third cup. Add half of your sugar to the second cup, and mark the line
where the top of the water is. Dump out this cup and rinse to make sure
there is no sugar residue left behind. Cut with your scissors on the marks
you made. Label the first cup Water, the second cup Sugar, and the
third cup Coke with the Sharpie, writing on the front of the cup so you
can see it while pouring the liquids.
Procedures (slide 2 of 4)
4.
5.
Set the three plastic cups next to each other on the towel, in the order of
Water, Sugar, then Coke. Make sure to leave space in between the cups so
that there is room for the plates.
6.
Pour one hundred eighteen milliliters of the water into the plastic cup labeled
Water and the remaining one hundred eighteen milliliters into the cup
labeled Sugar. Then pour all of the Coca-Cola into the cup labeled Coke.
7.
Pour the sugar into the cup labeled Sugar and then stir with the spoon until
all of the sugar is dissolved.
8.
Fold the index card in half, and with the Sharpie write 1. (This number will
change as you repeat your trials.)
9.
Get out your three paper plates, and put a rock in the middle of each one.
Procedures (slide 3 of 4)
10.
One at a time, put peanut one into the cup labeled Water, peanut two
into the cup labeled Sugar, and peanut three into the cup labeled
Coke.
11.
Then, immediately after putting the packing peanuts in, put one of your
paper plates (which should have the rock on it) on top of each peanut to
hold it down so it is more submerged under the liquid.
12.
Then immediately after setting the paper plate onto the packing
peanuts, set the timer or alarm clock for thirty minutes.
13.
After thirty minutes when the timer or alarm clock beeps, take off the
paper plates and set them aside.
14.
Take out the packing peanuts one at a time and place them on towel in
front of that specific cup.
Procedures (slide 4 of 4)
15.
16.
Find the change in the lengths and widths; compare the before
and after results, putting none when the measurement is the
same.
17.
Throw away the cups and plates, and make sure to use paper
towels for any messes created.
18.
Variables
Independent
Dependent
My
My
independent variable
is the liquids in which I
am putting the packing
peanuts in: tap water,
sugary water, and CocaCola.
dependent variable is
the length and width
changes of the packing
peanut after it soaks in
the liquid for thirty
minutes.
