Making a Potato Powered Light Bulb Materials: A large potato Two pennies Two zinc-plated nails or screws Three pieces of copper wire A very small light bulb or LED light 1) Get a potato and cut it in half. Then make a small slit in each half just big enough to put a penny into. 2) Cut two pieces of copper wire and wrap one around one of the pennies a few times‚ and wrap the other one around the other penny a few times as well. 3) Take a third piece of copper

America’s Great Potato Baron Eric Schlosser’s biography “Fast Food Nation: Why the Fries Taste Good” explains how this invention started out of a simple potato by a man named John R. Simplot who was raised on a farm‚ un-educated and by his own account‚ left home at a young age. According to Eric Schlosser’s claim‚ “John Richard Simplot‚ America’s great potato baron‚ whose seemingly inexhaustible energy and willingness to take risk built an empire base on French fries” (Schlosser par. 2).

Lab One – Diffusion and Osmosis SECTION ONE: Methods Lab 1 – Diffusion and Osmosis can be broken down into four parts (A‚ B‚ C‚ and D). Lab 1A – Diffusion In this exercise‚ we tested diffusion through dialysis tubing. This was done through a demo with the teacher‚ rather than individually in groups. First‚ a piece of 2.5cm dialysis tubing was obtained. Then one end was folded and clipped securely so that a solution poured into the bag would not leak out. Next‚ the other side of the bag was

present in a potato plant. Polymers are large molecules consisting of many repeating units‚ called monomers. Polymers can be made out of starch which is composed of long chains of glucose molecules. This study focuses mainly on making biodegradable plastics‚ which is certainly safer than non-biodegradable plastics‚ from potato starch. Biodegradable plastics made from raw materials are completely reusable and can be composted easily. Potato starch contains minimal protein and fat. Potato starch is a

The results provide evidence that when there was an increase in the sodium chloride concentration the mass of the potato prisms declined. At the zero percent concentration there was an increase of mass by 1.75%‚ from there the 1%‚ 3%‚ 5% and 10% begun on a downward trend with the percentage change in mass declining. The graph was on a steady decline from 0% being the highest point with a change of mass of 1.75% finishing with the 10% solution on a decline of -12.28%. From observing the scatter plot

TOY: MR. POTATO HEAD! Since the time of my childhood I have been exposed to hundreds of toys and games. However‚ only a few stand out in my memory and even fewer still remain in my possession today. There are many toys in America‚ which are known by all ages‚ nationalities‚ and social classes. Toys such as Barbie‚ Legos‚ Cabbage Patch Kids‚ GI Joe‚ and many more are well known commodities‚ which have been in existence since before my time. Although there are numerous toys I can remember

3%‚ was diluted using 10 mL of hydrogen peroxide and 20 mL of water. In the second beaker‚ a ¼ dilution of potato extract was made using 2 mL of potato extract and 6 mL of water. The third plastic beaker contained 8 mL of water. Using the first and second beaker the experimental assay was performed. Using forceps a small paper disk was dipped into the second beaker containing the potato catalase for exactly 5 seconds. It was next dried on a paper towel for 5 seconds‚ and finally placed at the

Abstract: Osmosis is the transport of water across a selectively permeable membrane from a region of a higher water chemical potential to a region of lower water chemical potential. (Tzahi 2006) To demonstrate osmosis lab‚ artificial cells were made with various sucrose concentrations and were placed into beakers of different sucrose solutions. Overall the results showed that the higher percentage of concentration gradient of sucrose‚ the more the artificial cells absorbed. Introduction: The

Straight blades produce regular chips while rippled blades produce ridged potato chips. * 5 The slices fall into a second cold-water wash that removes the starch released when the potatoes are cut. Some manufacturers‚ who market their chips as natural‚ do not wash the starch off the potatoes. Color treatment * 6 If the potatoes need to be chemically treated to enhance their color‚ it is done at this stage. The potato slices are immersed in a solution that has been adjusted for pH‚ hardness
