Based on the alternate hypothesis that suggested pumpkin seeds would release the most energy, the results shown support the statement. Although the pumpkin seeds are shown to have a higher energy content than the croutons, there was no drastic difference between the mean or total energy content of both, therefore the null hypothesis can not be entirely refuted. It is evident how the calorific content of the foods are dependent on their constituent molecules, yet the alternate hypothesis was based on the premise that lipids contained more calories per gram than carbohydrates, thus lipids would release more energy. Yet there is not enough evidence to suggest that the alternate hypothesis is correct since the lipid and carbohydrate content of …show more content…
For instance, in this experiment, the balance used to measure the weight of the foods before and after being combusted, could only measure up to two decimal places which could have created an error in recording the actual total mass. Also, the method of this experiment involved plenty of human input which is inevitably more prone to errors. The calorimeter used to conduct this experiment was homemade and constructed with recycled items. This certainly led to an error considering that recycled materials could easily affect the accuracy of the data leading to imperfections. Due to this, a great amount of heat was lost to the environment since the apparatus was not in enclosed in order to prevent heat loss. A design including a more precise and calculated apparatus would have potentially improved the accuracy of the experiment. Overall, an improvement of the design of the calorimeter and a more standardized experiment would have led to more realistic and percise results. The extension of this experiment could further involve the analyzation on the energy storage of lipids and carbohydrates. It would lead to the testing of lipid and carbohydrate content in croutons and pumpkin seeds as well as other substances with a high amount of measurable
With Halloween approaching, the Teal Pumpkin Project aims to promote awareness of the severity of food allergies and inclusion for children whose food allergies preclude them from trick-or-treating. One in 13 children in the U.S. has a food allergy, making Halloween a particularly tricky holiday as many candies contain common allergens. Additionally, a number of miniature-size candies have different ingredients than the full-size equivalents and do not include ingredient labels, making it that much more complicated to determine if the trick-or-treating loot staples are safe for children affected by allergies and intolerances. With numerous precautions required, trick-or-treating can quickly become an inconvenience rather than an enjoyment
The Teal Pumpkin Phenomenon Recently, teal pumpkins have been popping up around neighborhoods that are notorious trick-or-treating spots. While these teal pumpkins are unique and eye catching, they also have a secret meaning. A meaning that could help save your child’s life. Food allergies are a struggle that many families have to endure on a daily basis.
The season of fall is approaching quickly, the temperature is dropping, colors are changing, and it is the perfect time to carve some pumpkins! Carving pumpkins has been a continuous fall tradition for decades. Not only is it easy, but also fun for the family but it can also be used as a decoration for your front porch no matter how awful they might turn out. Pumpkin carving does not require the skills like Leonardo Da Vinci but sure is not as simple as tying someone 's shoe. It is a long, yet exciting process that you absolutely need the patients for.
Pumpkin Hollow trip It was my first year living here in New Madrid, and it was very nice. My Grandma proposed, “Why not go to a place called Pumpkin Hollow.” My sister and I willingly said, ”Yes.” Now that we are on our way to Pumpkin Hollow( which was in Arkansas).
One of the most important aspects of the assessment that I missed, was having the students answer higher-level thinking questions. The assessment was to fill out the graphic organizer of the five senses. Although this is hard for some students to think of adjectives to describe the pumpkin, the students did not have to have too much thought behind the assessment. To improve the assessment I would add some questions about predicting what the inside of a pumpkin would look like, feel, smell, taste, and sound or, the students could predict a rotten pumpkin with the five senses to allow them to think deeper. Once the students predicted they could write why they predicted the changes.
The errors that could have occurred in this experiment include miscalculations of determining the mass, averages, and percentages of each brand of gum. In addition, chewing the gum for too long is another error that also could have happened. Furthermore, weighing the gum and wrapper incorrectly is also another error.
Growers of Giant Pumpkins May Hold Clues to Improved Crop Yields Shared techniques used to grow giant gourds may help regular food industry get bigger yields. The giant pumpkins grown by Ron Wallace in his garden in Rhode Island won’t magically appear in Linus’ pumpkin patch at midnight on Halloween, but they will be seen by a lot of people. Wallace’s pumpkins takes months of 40-hour weeks, tender care and vigilance to reach their monumental size.
Steve, the pumpkin, was bought at Cub Food on Monday 10, 2016. The name Steve was given to the pumpkin because my boyfriend’s dad name is Steve and he loves to carve pumpkins. After naming the pumpkin, Steve was being weighed using a scale. Steve weighs (1.82 lbs ) . When counting grooves , search for ridges that ran vertically from top to bottom of the pumpkin that also divides the pumpkin into segments.
Contrast the animal-based diet and plant-based diet Food, as the best solution to human basic needs, is playing a significant role in satisfying 7.6 billion people every day. Statistic shows that humans can consume 11.5 million pounds of food in the worldwide in only one minute (Thomson, 2014). Meanwhile, people’s daily recipe is also experiencing a revolutionary change when the increasing demand of the food and people’s awareness of health and sustainability become prevail. Currently, traditional animal-based diet is facing challenges from new fashioned plant-based diet. Both animal-based diet and plant-based diet can provide enough energy for human’s need; however, plant-based diet shows its advantages on high cost-efficiency, maintaining
Starch solution is then placed into the test tube at a quantity of 5 mL. 5 drops of Lugol’s Iodine solution is added to the test tube. If the color changes, then it is known that starches are present in the solution. Proteins are next tested. In order to do this, 5 mL of gelatin solution is added to the test tube. 10 drops of Biuret’s reagent are added to test for protein.
Activity Title: Continue Working on Communicating Ideas Standards: SOL 1.13 The student will write to communicate ideas for a variety of purposes a) generate ideas; b) focus on one topic; c) revise by adding descriptive words when writing about people, places, things, and events; d) use complete sentences in final copies; e) being each sentence with a capital letter and use ending punctuation in final copies; f) use correct spelling of commonly used sight words and phonetically regular words in final copies; g) Share writing with others.

At the Pumpkin Patch Have you ever been to an amazing pumpkin patch? Well I have and of course the first thing that caught my attention was the perfectly colored orange pumpkins. There was not one white cloud in the blue sky but there was just a slight beautiful breeze. The only smell that filled the air was amazing kettle corn popcorn. when we hopped on the huge tractor the smell changed to a disgusting black tractor smoke and dust.
According to the following equation total energy was calculated: total energy (kJ) = 17 × (g crude protein + g total carbohydrate) + 37 × (g crude
Bean Sprouts Project One of my most memorable experiences of soil was when I was in Sixth grade. At the end of Fifth grade, I flew from Hong Kong to South Korea along with my family. In the first couple of weeks of school, I struggled to speak Korean and adapt to the new culture. Fortunately, I soon saw the chance to change this situation: the Science II Bean Sprouts project. The Bean Sprouts project was simple.
