My research

I think learning more and more about the gatorade topic would be fun to research and very cool to learn about. It is just really cool how they can give you energy in the right way for sports related ways. They get the right amount of electrolytes so that you get the right results. They analyze althetes while only have water and then they analyze another group of althestes while they drink gatorade and determine which is better.

I visited these blogs

I visited Josh, Ryan, Bianca, and Mica's blog pages. I think the topic that interested me the most was Bianca's nanotube topic. It was really cool to learn about how its quicker to use nanotubes then to use a cast and how it helps rebuild bones and etc. I also enjoyed reading Ryan's because it was about changing DNA which could be very dangerous but it could also be very useful.

My Chemistry Interests!

1. Chemical reactions - Chemical reactions are cool to watch what reacts with what and to see what is made.

2. Makeup - Its cool because they have to get the right balance of colors and minerals to get the right overall color and to get the right product in the end. -http://www.sheercover.com/benefitsofminerals.phppactvid=41771e354edaca1546425dd94d53d057
3. Medicine - They have to add the right amount of different ingredients to get the right balance of everything so that it works the right way.

My reflection paragraph:
- I think that the gatorade is a really cool topic. They have to get the right balance of everything they are using to guarentee the results they are advertising. They try to figure out the best way to feul althetes for their best performances. They look at everything that goes into the althete and everything that comes out the althete to try to see if there are better ways to feul them with the supplies they have. Another cool topic i think is makeup. They always say that you can get less wrinkles and etc. In order to give you that they would have to have some different chemicals in it. THey have to get the right balance of those chemicals so something bad did not happen and also they have to get it right so that they have the right color and fragrance.
