Exploring Measurements in the Food Industry


      A. Our question for this assignment is " Do you get what you pay for? " We answered this question by using small Hot Cheetos bags and determined if the amount they say they gave us matched up with what was actually inside.
   
      B.  We proceeded the investigation by weighing all 4 different bags of Hot Cheetos. Then emptied the bags and weighed the bags with out the chips inside. After that we figured out the mass of the Cheetos. Which you have to subtract the weight of the Cheetos with the chips and the bag without the Cheetos. We did it this way because we need to find out if the amount of Cheetos inside is the same as it was listed on the bag.

     C.  Our Claim: We didn't get what we paid for.
          Our Reasoning : Because the accuracy of the bags didn't follow the net weight of  ± .10g the precision of the bags also didn't follow the definition which is ≤ .20g so we didn't get what we paid for.
          Our evidence:

Exploring Changes in Matter

1. We were trying to answer the question "Which changes are examples of a chemical change, and which are examples of a physical change." We want to answer this question because physical and chemical changes have different properties that tell them apart, which we are trying to answer. 2. During our investigation we mixed and heated multiple different kinds of elements to see the changes it caused. We conducted this way because it gave us obvious answers to our question. 3. Claim: Something new and different that wasn't there before is an example of a chemical change. When it stays the same and nothing changes it is an example of a physical change.     Evidence: Water & salt = Salt disappeared Copper & heat = color changed NaOH & CuNO32 = became a solid HCl & NaHCO3 = Fizzed Wax & hot water = liquid from a solid     Reasoning: •Salt & water was a phys. change because the salt only disappeared because they were mixed so nothing ...
