Abstract

In this essay you will learn about three different experiments that I have done. also my reations through every experiment.

Experiment one is sugar water, when I did the sugar water test it sounded very weird to me. But after I tried the experiment it surprised me, because I never thought it would be cool to try something new. Before I tried the experiment I thought it would be grouse to try. But it surprised me in a big way and I did not know what to think. I never know that sugar water and regular water is different after a few seconds after you change each one and compare each other. And how sugar water goes from sweet to less sweet after a few seconds in your mouth, and then changes it to fresh water how the taste are so different from each other. So this experiment has changed a few things for me and showed me to try different things. And to show me to see how different other things can be bad or good to try. Experiment two is fresh water, now that I have done the water experiment, which was that I had to put water in three different bowls were bowl one with very hot tap water, bowl two with very cold tap water, and bowl three with lukewarm tap water. After I have the three bowls set up I had to range them in a line from left to right which was hot, lukewarm, and cold water. I had to put my left hand in the hot water and my right hand in the cold water for three minutes. After three minutes I had to put both hands in the bowl with lukewarm water for a few seconds. Now that I have finished my experiment my reaction is that my left hand I had some what a different sense. But when I put my right hand in the bowl of cold water it was a very cold experience for me and it was very cold my hand was very cold and starting to tingle after about a minute and a half. Then after the three minutes was over I had to transfer both of my hands into the lukewarm water. My left hand had no different reactions, but my right hand had a little bit of a reaction. Because I could feel the coldness through my whole right arm. After about five minutes of the experiment I still feel the coldness through my right arm. Experiment three is sandpaper, as I got started on this experiment with the sandpaper, where I had to rub my index finger over very coarse sandpaper. where I had to rate this experiment from one to seven which is one(very soft) and seven (very coarse). Then I had to wait for a minute or two minutes then repeat the process over again for a few more times. To see if your reaction has changed any at all. So here is my reaction is that I would give it about a seven which is very coarse. Because I did not see anything that I see it had done was it just took your finger print off your finger. And made it somewhat softer then it
