Polymers are found in plastics, fiberglass, and many more product manufacteurs. Monomers occur in molecular units or patterns that look like beads on a string. Polymers are chemically formed by 100 to 10,000 small molecules called 'monomers'. In this experiment I will be testing what would happen to the polymer when I add more borax to it. A polymer is a compound made up of large molecules often in a solid state. The key words are: polymer, borax, and sodium borate. Testable Question: How does the amount of borax affect the stretchiness of polymers?īackground Research: For my science fair project, I am answering and testing the question: how does the amount of borax affect the stretchiness of polymers? I researched my main/key words for the project. Does the polymer with the most borax not stretch as much? Or does the polymer with less borax stretch more?
Purpose : To figure out what happens to a polymer when more borax is added to it. Topic: In this experiment I will be testing how the amount of borax affects the stretchiness of a polymer.
