Week 13: Energy Drinks

Hey Scholars!!!

Can you believe it? We are already at the end of the 2nd six weeks. Only 6 more weeks and your done with Chemistry (tear). Last week we talked about electrolytes and that kind of lead to some discussion on energy drinks. For this week I would like you to read this article/story and tell me if this is going to be the future of sports drinks. Instead of Gator-aid are athletes going to slam an energy drink before a game or an Olympic Race?http://www.sciencecases.org/energy_drinks/energy_drinks.asp

Let me know what you think

Week 12: Solutions, Suspensions, Colloids: "Naturally, We call our stuff Gatoraid."

Hey Scholars,

Hope you enjoyed that wonderful sunny warm spring break. This week we are talking about Colloids and things that are suspended in solutions. My first thought when I think of electrolytes is Gator-Aid. I want to know what other beverages are out there that have suspended matter in them and what makes the healthy or unhealthy for our bodies (effects) Hint: energy drinks!!!

Week 11: Changes in State

Hey Scholars!!!

This week is one of our easiest topics we will be covering in Chemistry: The changes in states of matter. For this weeks post try and find a substance with either then lowest melting point or the highest boiling point. The most extreme on each will win a prize. (remind me)

Happy Hunting
