polyacrylate project conclusion!
my team an i did a class project on polyacrylate. we put three polyacrylate in each vile. we had 5 viles tottal. vile A: h20 Vile B: hydrogen peroxide Vile C salt H20 Vile D: sugar H20 nd Vile F: dirty H20. we found that the polyacrylate grew the biggest in the hydrogen peroxide. it also got pretty big in the sugar H20, dirty H20 and the reg. H20. it didnt grow very much in the salt water though? something that suprised me was that the polycrylate lost almost all thier color except for just a little pink in some. i understand that the water viles grew the biggest but i dont understand quite yet why the hydrogen peroxide made the polyacrylite grew the biggest.
About the Blogger
I started my teaching career in South Central Los Angeles teaching in modified to full bilingual 4th and 5th grade classes. Then I moved to WA State where I have taught mainly 6th through 8th grade. I have enjoyed the culture clash but notice that kids are the same everywhere :o)
My areas of interest are science and technology but I also love studying ancient cultures and learning about different peoples and cultures.
