Exploring Isotopes & Average Atomic Mass

A) What question were you trying to answer and why?    A) The question we were trying to answer was "What is the atomic mass of beanium?". The reason why we were trying to answer this questions was because we needed to find an average mass and percentage of each bean. B) What did you do during your investigation and why did you conduct your investigation in this way?  B) During the investigation we had three different groups. Limium, Kidneyium, and Peagen were then split up into their groups and from there we massed them all and divided all of them to how many we needed to find for the average for the bean. We conducted the investigation since this would be the only way to find the mass and the average. C) What is your claim, evidence, and reasoning?   C) Our claim was that we would be able to find the atomic mass of beanium through measurements and math problems. Our evidence would be the graph we had completed which included various things about the beans such a

Exploring Changes in Matter

A) What question were you trying to answer and why?    A) The question we were trying to answer was "Which changes are examples of a chemical change, and which are examples of a physical change?". The reason why we were trying to answer this questions was because we needed to know that we saw something different in the experiments that wasn't there before. B) What did you do during your investigation and why did you conduct your investigation in this way?  B) During the investigation we had a handful of different experiments that we conducted. The first one included a small ball of copper and required a bunsen burner. You would then place the small copper ball into a ceramic holder and as the copper ball began to heat up it changed color which made a chemical change as it turned to a silver/black color which meant it was no longer copper. The second experiment was simple with warm water and salt and you would then pour the salt into the water which made a physical cha

Exploring Measuring in the Food Industry

A) What question were you trying to answer and why?    A) The question we were trying to answer was "Do you get what you pay for?" and we were able to answer that question. The reason why we were trying to answer that question was to see if we really get the amount of chips that we receive in the bag. B) What did you do during your investigation and why did you conduct your investigation in this way?  B) During the investigation we weighed our bag of chips without opening them, we then weighed our bag of chips after we opened them and dumped out the contents, then we subtracted the weight from each other to determine the difference (hot cheetos). The reason we conducted the investigation in this way was because we had to figure out what the weight of the hot cheetos were. C) What is your claim, evidence, and reasoning?   C) Our claim was that we do get what we pay for. Our evidence would be that we actually get MORE than we pay for because the weight that we received w
