Supersolids

Supersolids

"ScienceDaily (June 25, 2010) — New experiments are casting doubt on previously reported observations of supersolid helium. In a paper appearing in the current issue of Physical Review Letters (PRL), John Reppy (Cornell University) presents research suggesting that prior experiments that seemed to show signs of supersolidity were in fact the result of the plastic deformation of normal helium.

Elephant Toothpaste AKA catlysts

Our experiment with catalysts was elephant toothpaste. We put dish soap, hydrogen peroxide, iodine, and water together to create a big fluffy mixture called elephant toothpaste (Well it was supposed to be big and fluffy, but too much dish soap ruins it) Anyways when these items were combined it made a chemical reaction that would create the big fluff. That was elephant toothpaste.

ELIZABETH EXTON is awesome and this was a fun experiment. LEAVING class NOW

bye kids
