their business model, specifically the Styrofoam cup that has been utilized since the company’s inception. Many different stakeholder groups have expressed opinions that either favorably or negatively view Styrofoam, but the positions taken by the owners, customers, and the
parachute ü Two Styrofoam cups-represents “person”, holds the sand & measure sand ü Sand-acts as the weight of the “person” in cup ü 4 white string-attaches the parachute to one of the Styrofoam cups ü Small Ziploc bag-to contain sand and prevent from spilling in cup) ü Balance- to weigh sand to accurate weight ü Stopwatch-to time how long it takes for the parachute to fall at a height with a certain weight ü Scissors-to cut holes into the one of the Styrofoam cups, plastic bag
precisely and pour it into a small Styrofoam cup. To help stabilize the cup, rest it inside of a beaker. Next, measure out 25 mL of the thiosulfate solution in a different or clean graduated cylinder. To prepare the setup for the experiment, put the temperature probe through the hole in a large Styrofoam cup. Fully submerge the end of the Temperature Probe into the Styrofoam cup of the bleach solution. Slide the Styrofoam cup over the top of the smaller Styrofoam cup to cover the small cup. Do not
Styrofoam is made up of polystyrene polymers. Polystyrene is a relatively nonpolar solution so it can be inferred that it will dissolve in similar solutions following the rule ‘like dissolves like.’ When the Styrofoam was placed in the acetone it began bubbling and scrunching up. After stirring it around for a minute or so the Styrofoam was a small ball in the bottom of the beaker. When we pulled it out, it was squishy
Take the cardboard cover and place it on top of the two Styrofoam cups, place a thermometer through the small hole in the cardboard cover. This creates a calorimeter. Take the calorimeter and place it into a small beaker to prevent it from falling over. 10. Measure and record the temperature of the water in the Styrofoam cup. Leave cardboard cover on until the heated metal is ready to be transferred into the calorimeter. 11. After the water
roundaboat way to get there (pun intended.) The Gap needed something that would increase its trajectory to more of a straight path without adding too much weight. The solution was found in the styrofoam stand the motor sat on and a popsicle stick cut in half. Sticking the popsicled stick through the styrofoam so it protruded out of the bottom creating a rutter. It worked so well because of the placement at the back of the boat. Allowing it to guide the rear in where it wanted to boat to go much how
glass, paper, plastic, Styrofoam, and several others. Each cup was invented by different people in different times, but they were all based off of the idea of the very first cup. Each cup was made for a reason. In this experiment, each cup listed above will be tested to see which one will keep a liquid warm longer. When conducting this experiment, a cup that can sustain a heated liquid will be selected from the data. When a hot liquid is placed in either a plastic, paper, styrofoam, or a glass cup, then
In “Joe Science vs. the Water Heater,” the temperature of water in a water heater must be found without measuring the water directly from the water heater. This problem was translated to the lab by providing heated water, fish bowl thermometers, styrofoam cups, and all other instruments found in the lab. The thermometer only reaches 45 degrees celsius; therefore, thermodynamic equations need to be applied in order to find the original temperature of the hot water. We also had access to deionized
This business venture will penetrate the disposable food packaging industry, like paper, plastic, and Styrofoam food packaging. The chosen product focuses on paper-ware products, these types of products are prevalent particularly to food and beverages industry. According to the report entitled “Paper Cups and Paper Plates Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2017-2022,” The global paper cups and paper plates market reached a value of more than US$ 104 in 2016
when measuring the final temperature of the metals, there was a loss of heat from the styrofoam cup as there was no efficient way of sealing the cup, and the cup itself will also absorb heat from the water. Despite our efforts of sealing the cup by putting another styrofoam cup above, the hole that the thermometer goes through allowed heat to escape. The loss of heat, and the absorption of heat from the styrofoam cup will increase the heat capacities of the metals that were calculated from this experiment

In the world of the arts, The Lion King was a work that imposed the lessons of growing up, handling death, and teamwork to seemingly an entire young generation. The play was first developed into a movie by Walt Disney Feature Animation as a dramatic musical movie. A surge in the box office led to the creation of what has become one of the most iconic Broadway plays in history. The Lion King went on to be the highest grossing Broadway play and also won six trophies at the 1998 Tony Awards. But it’s
because this is where the suspect’s DNA will be placed. Then, we labeled them to make sure that we wouldn’t mix up the suspect’s DNA. My lab assistants and I put our names on them as well so we did not lose them. Afterwards, we placed them in a Styrofoam microtube holder so that the tubes would sit upright. Next, we put a piece of masking tape on top and labeled this holder with our names. 2. To transfer the DNA to the microtubes, we used a micropipette. It is a device that sucks up the perfect
How Pollution Affects the Ocean and Marine Life Water is one of the biggest necessities for all thing things on the earth. Water is vital to humans, plants, and animals in order for them to survive and grow. Not only is water used to preserve life, water is also used in households for many functions, such as bathing, cleaning, laundry, and plumbing. Water is also used for fun in the form of water parks and pools for people to enjoy and cool off in the heat of the summer. Humans use water each day
materials and techniques. Artist Kendall Buster has been known to use semi-transparent shade cloth, paper, thin steel sheeting and steel rods for constructing her artwork. Artist Tara Donovan has been known to use everyday materials such as paper cups, Styrofoam cups, straws, and torn paper to express her art. Both artists create site-specific installation art that resembles molecular or cellular structures within a given amount of space. Kendall Buster is a regarded artist of the United States. She is
leading up to all Hallows Eve as well as trick-or-treaters on Halloween and your party attendees. Here are some ideas on how to decorate the outside of your house: 1) Tombstones/Graveyard - Create tombstones out of wood or Styrofoam. Do this by taking the wood or Styrofoam and painting it gray and writing some names on it as well. You can even include the names of the guests that RSVP'ed to your party and include a whimsical rhyme such as, "Here lies Ted, because a piano fell on his head."
had never produced a titanic amount of plastic waste, we still felt as though this allowed us to better do our part for the environment. Still, there was one plastic we could not recycle: polystyrene. So every take-out container, every piece of Styrofoam packaging went straight into the trash. “Why was this?” I thought. I didn’t take for granted that
The name Starbucks has become a household name over the years, and it is nearly synonymous with coffee as a whole. Both the iconic tricolor of green, black, and white and the emblem of the Siren have become nearly as recognizable as the company name itself. With such popularity, Starbuck faces an incredible amount of pressure to produce quality beverages. Starbucks has no qualms about meeting this demand, though. With a simple advertisement composed of a lone coffee cup accompanied by a bold promise
According to Newton's first law, an object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. It is the natural tendency of objects to keep on doing what they're doing. All objects resist changes in their state of motion. In the absence of an unbalanced force, an oject in motion will maintain this state of motion. This is often called the law of inertia. Consider for instance the unfortunate collision of a car with a wall
means buying food and other products packaged only in materials that will decay naturally or that can be recycled. The idea is to prevent unrecyclable materials from even entering the home. For instance, 60 of the 190 pounds of plastic-especially styrofoam-each American uses a year are thrown out as soon as packages are opened. Be kind to your planet by buying eggs, fast food, and other products in cardboard in...
