=Two Types of Experiment Extension= Experiment Extension #1 Which type of paper airplane material can fly the farthest?

Control:  Copier Paper Independent Variable: Type of Paper Dependent Variable: Distance flown

Copier: 511 Notebook: 792 Construction: 428

Written Explanation: When we tested the normal copier paper it flew 511 cm. After that we tested the construction paper and got a lower average of 428 cm and the Notebook paper got an average of 792. To keep the experiment consistent we threw the paper airplane from five feet each time. I thought this was a great experiment because it showed how all the different paper airplanes vary.

Experiment Extension #2

Does the size of the  rubber band   affect the distance it flies? Control: Medium Sized Rubber Band Independent Variable: Type of Rubber Band Dependent Variable: Distance it flies Medium: 661 Small: 744 Large: 736

The small rubber band had an average of 744cm. Then we tested the  large rubber band   and got 736cm. Lastly we tested the medium rubber band that reached an average of 661. That the smaller rubber band flew the farthest because it's light and it can be pulled back very far. I think the Medium rubber band flew the least because it weighs more and can be pulled back the least. I thought this was a great experiment to show how each rubber band can very and fly differently.


 * ISP Reflection **

The purpose of my ISP experiment was to figure out which music genre had the most effect on the memory of the brain. I found out that classical music had the least effect on the memory of the brain giving the best results for each experiment. The other two genres that I tested were rap and country which tied each finishing second in one experiment. I felt my experiment went really well because I got a lot of compliments about my poster and I felt like I was an expert on my topic. I felt my experiment went really well because there weren't many results that I got that were extremely different from each other. I had a lot of fun working on the independent  science project   and hope I can experience something relatively similar again.


 * ISP Job Reflection**
 * Sound  Engineer Technician   **

I believe that a sound engineer technician is a close job to what I did in my ISP. This job relates to my ISP because like sound engineer technicians I worked with music. The way I worked and how they work is a little different because what I did was take the music and put it to the test rather than mixing different music and recorded sounds to make new music. A sound engineer technician could add different sound effects to make a movie monster roar or mix different sound tracks together to create new music. Sound engineer technicians could also  help setup   a live concert wiring the system to project the music. On a typical day on the job  sound engineering   technicians operate machines and equipment to record, synchronize, mix, or reproduce music, voicees, or sound effects in recording studios,sporting arenas, theater productions, or movie and  video productions.

Models Figure 1: Model Before Research Figure 2: Model After Research

My second model looks relatively the same as the first one except for the labels. In my first model I was not sure what the labels of the toaster was in my first model so I just used what the different parts of the toaster look like. In my second model I figured out how the toaster worked so I had knowledge on the red coils, and heat level changer. The researched model looks more advance because I could draw it sort of in the way it works.

__//** Proving Rock Air and Water are Matter **//__

**Rock** In this experiment we were trying to prove if rock was matter. The materials that were used were a rock, a graduated cylinder, triple beam balance. The experiment is conducted by filling the graduated cylinder to 80 milliliters then placing the rock in the graduated cylinder then measuring how it the mass grew. After experiment we found out that rock is matter. It weighs 22.4 grams and takes up 6 and 1/2 cubic centimeters.

=**Water**= The purpose of this experiment was to prove if water was matter. The materials used for this experiment were water, graduated cylinder, triple beam balance, We first measured the weight of the graduated cylinder then added 25 ml of water and realized it took up space. Then we weighed the cylinder with the 25 ml of water in it and realized it took up mass.

The purpose of this experiment was to prove air was matter. The materials used in this experiments were a balloon, triple beam balance. The experiment is conducted by weighing the balloon on a triple beam balance non blown up. Then weighing the blown up balloon on the triple beam balance. Our results were That non blown up balloon weighed 3 grams. The blown up balloon weighed 4 grams which proves that the blown up balloon weighs more than the non blown up balloon. The estimated amount of volume was 1500 ml.

Salt and Crystals  Figure 1: Salt Crystal Model

Salt and Crystals both have many interesting characteristics. The formula for table salt is NaCl. Something makes something a salt be being a c;ass of compounds formed by the replacement of one or more hydrogen atoms of an acid with elements groups. Crystals are solids that form by a regular repeated pattern of molecules connecting together. Salt is a compound because it is composed of one atom of sodium bounded to one atom of chlorine. Alkali salts are the product of the neutralization of a strong base and a weak acid, rather than being neutral (as some other salts), alkali salts are bases.

Separating and Finding the Weight of Salt and Sand
The method for this experiment was to put salt and sand mixture into a medium beaker with 100ml of water already in it. The water was then boiled and the salt was dissolved into the water. A filter was then used to keep all the sand at the top and the salt water leak through into a beaker. The water was then evaporated by boiling on a hot plate. The filter was dried and the sand was poured onto a weighing paper and was measured. The salt inside the beaker was measured then washed out. The beaker itself was then weighed and the weight of the salt in the beaker was subtracted by the beaker itself to get the weight of the salt.
