Scientific Literacy• Use scientific knowledge in physics,

chemistry, biological sciences, and earth/space sciences

• process to understand the natural world but to participate in decisions that affect life, health, earth, and environment

Technology Literacy• Ability to use, manage, and

access technology. Students should know how to use the technologies how they are developed, and have skills to analyze how new technologies affect us, our nation, and the world.

Engineering Literacy• Systematic and creative

application of scientific and mathematic principles to practical ends such as design, manufacture and operation of efficient and economical structures, machines, processes and systems

Mathematics Literacy• Ability to analyze, reason,

and communicate ideas effectively as they pose, formulate, solve and interpret solutions to math problems in a variety of situations.

What Alcohol is the found in your glass of wine?• Isopropyl Alcohol

• Ethyl Alcohol

• Methyl Alcohol

• Propel Alcohol

C2H5OH

• C2H5OH

Correct Answer

•Ethyl AlcoholC2H5OHEthanol has been used by humans since prehistory as the intoxicating ingredient of alcoholic beverages. Dried residues on 9,000-year-old pottery found in China imply that alcoholic beverages were used even among Neolithic people.

What is sodium bicarbonate?• Baking Powder

• Alum

• Baking Soda

• Cream of tarter

(Na3HCO3CO3·2H2O),

Correct Answer• Baking Soda• In 1791, a French chemist,

Nicolas Leblanc, produced sodium bicarbonate as we know it today. In 1846 two New York bakers, John Dwight and Austin Church, established the first factory to develop baking soda from sodium carbonate and carbon dioxide.

What gives tomatoes the red color?

• Beta Carotene

• Fructose

• Lycopene

• Limonene

Correct Answer

Lycopene

Lycopene's eleven conjugated double bonds give it its deep red color and are responsible for its antioxidant activity. Although lycopene is chemically a carotene, it has no vitamin A activity.

What chemical is found in onions causing you to cry?• Acetic Acid

• Hydrochloric Acid

• Nitric Acid

• Sulfuric Acid

Sulfuric Acid

Sulfuric Acid• When you cut an onion, you break

cells, releasing their contents. Amino acid sulfoxides form sulfuric acids. This gas reacts with the water in your tears to form sulfuric acid. The sulfuric acid burns, stimulating your eyes to release more tears to wash the irritant away.

Fast Food Visuals• As a class, students select

a meal from a favorite fast food restaurant. With science scales and metric measurement students create a visual and share with class.

Food chemical reaction

Home Made Geyser

• What You Need:• roll of mentos candies• 2-liter bottle of diet soda• index card• What do you think happens in your

stomac

Outside• Remove lid from diet soda.• Place index card on top.• Place candy in a roll of paper so the

candy will drop all at once.• Run fast.

Physics!• Sodas contain compressed carbon

dioxide. It's the gradual expansion and release of this pressurized gas in the form of bubbles that gives carbonated drinks their characteristic fizz. It's the surface tension of the liquid -- the strong attraction that bonds its water molecules together -- that prevents the gas from escaping all at once

• When Mentos are added, that surface tension is disrupted by additives in the candy -- gelatin and gum arabic, to name two likely culprits -- and the outside surfaces of the Mentos provide "nucleation sites" that encourage the rapid formation of bubbles. When you drop Mentos into a carbonated beverage, then, you cause the sudden release of pressurized gas for which the only exit is up and out through the narrow neck of the soda bottle -- hence the spectacular fountain effect

Hypothesize:

Hard Cooked VS Hard Boiled

Hard Cooked• Place eggs in

sauce pan.• Cover with cool

water• Bring to boil.• Place on lid.• Turn off and let

sit 20 minutes

Hard Boiled• Place eggs in

sauce pan.• Cover with cool

water.• Bring to boil. • Place on lid and

boil for 20 minutes.

Results: Sulfur RingHard Cooked Hard Boiled

pH Acids and Bases• What are the characteristics of

Acids?• Think of foods that are acidic &

taste:– Lemons and other citric fruit– Vinegars

• What are the characteristics of Bases?– Baking soda

• What is the reaction when you mix them?

pH scale

History• For thousands of years people have

known that vinegar, lemon juice and many other foods taste sour. However, it was not until a few hundred years ago that it was discovered why these things taste sour - because they are all acids. The term acid, in fact, comes from the Latin term acere, which means "sour".

• Bases taste bitter.

NAMES TO KNOW• Here are a couple of definitions you

should know:Acid: A solution that has an excess of H+ ions. It comes from the Latin word acidus that means "sharp" or "sour". Base: A solution that has an excess of OH- ions. Another word for base is alkali.Aqueous: A solution that is mainly water. Think about the word aquarium. AQUA means water.

Rubber Eggs??• Effect of acid on calcium carbonate?

Hypothesize what will happe.• Hard cook an egg.• Place egg in a jar of vinegar. Lids help

keep the room less odiferous.• Observe what reaction happens when the

egg is placed in the vinegar.• Leave the egg for 3 days.• Remove the egg and rinse.• Results?
