hrdk Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Rite, so im new out here, so help me out guys. Anyways our central theme for the group 4 project this year is "Chocolates", so could anyone gimme a list of experiments tht could be conducted in physics and chem!! i looked a lot but in vain! thnks guys!

Abu Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 While I would love to help someone in need, since I was in the same position two years ago. This is not the way to ask us for help. We are not going to provide you with a list of experiments that can be performed so that you can take it back and claim it as your own work. Secondly, you are not allowed to type in text speak with words like 'rite' or 'thnks'You could test for the specific heat capacity of chocolate.

hrdk Posted July 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 I am really sorry. I didnt about that. Thnaks a lot. Is it possible to somehow measure the viscosity of chocolate? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tilia Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 I am really sorry. I didnt about that. Thnaks a lot. Is it possible to somehow measure the viscosity of chocolate?You could check for melting point or something. But the actual experiment doesn't matter, so do whatever you feel like.

biochem Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Do something easy as already said I was so stupid, while most kids were looking at 1 aspect of chemistry I tried to combine all different types. In the end I realized I actually did a project so large, it took me 5 days to write it and It actually summed up everyone else's research in my class. Its as if my classmates looked at boiling of chocolate, and I did viscosity + boiling + freezing + equilibrium constants (analogy). So dont be stupid like me. Choose an elementary research, like you said a chemical property of chocolate, and carry it out without complexity. Make the board, if you are assigned one, very presentable (lots of pictures, few words, and plenty of talk). In the end I did fine, but it was a lot of work for nothing. Well for something, but still. My first 18 year-old Spring Break was spent on, water labs Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedron123 Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 I agree with biochem. I would use different types of chocolate though, i.e white chocolate, dark chocolate, milk chocolate. If you test their melting points you'll have more background information to support your RQ. (taking into consideration the different composition of each chocolate) Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solaris Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Alright, i have thought and searched alot about physics group 4 project topic for Physics, but couldnt get a single good topic. Anyone got any ideas for a good topic for Chocolate in physics? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetnsimple786 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Density of different types of chocolates? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solaris Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Specific heat capacity of Chocolate?As Chocolate being a mixture of sugar, cocoa butter, and other compounds, will it not make it a not very good topic to be researched? and because of it being a physics topic, extraction cannot be a good idea.

Ruan Chun Xian Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Specific heat capacity of different types of chocolate? (go by % of cocoa) Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solaris Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Specific heat capacity of different types of chocolate? (go by % of cocoa)But that still does not solve the problem as chocolate IS a mixture. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solaris Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Measuring the viscosity of chocolate when melted?Already taken by my group 4 partner. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelleee Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 rather than picking something and trying to formulate a g4 project around it...how 'bout you take a concept and try match it to something?you'll probably find it alot easier to be honest.just a suggestion...
