Google Hangout

  1. Here I have the video chat with Karishma. We were able to do the chat on google hangout.
  2. During the Google Hangout, my class and I were able to come up with question to ask Karishma Bhagani. Karishma is from Mombasa, Kenya. She also attends NY University. Karishma has created a water filter for the people in Kenya to have clean drinking water. During this experience I felt very fortunate to have clean drinking water. I also felt very lucky to talk to Karishma and hear why she wanted to do this.
  3. -How would you feel when you accomplish your goal of having clean drinking water in Kenya? How did the idea come to you of creating a filter for clean drinking water? How many people in Kenya have the water filter you have created? What is the next thing you want to do for everyone in Kenya after the water filter?
  4. What I have learned from the chat is that Karishma is very dedicated to what she does. Karishma is a very hard working and will fight for what is best for Kenya. Here are some of the answer to the question. How would you feel when you accomplish your goal of having clean drinking water in Kenya? – Karishma said “I would feel like I’m on top of the world!!”. One question that stood out to me was “Do you think that the country Kenya is over looked? – “Many different developing countries in Asia or Africa are over looked.”

IMG_1971.JPGPurpose:

What fruit/ vegetable will give off the most electric charge?

 

Hypothesis:

The lemon will give off the most electric voltage.

 

Materials:

  • Lemon, lime, potato, carrot, apple, banana
  • Wire
  • Ammeter
  • Nail

 

Procedure:

  • First we are going stick a copper wire and a nail into our fruit/vegie
  • We will attach both conductors to the ammeter with the wire.
  • Measure the charge.

 

Observations:

  • Lemon: 1v
  • Lime: 0.8v
  • Potato: 0.6v
  • Carrot: 0.5v
  • Apple: 0.5v
  • Banana: 0.3v

 

Results:

The lemon conducted the most charge and the banana conducted the least.

 

Conclusion:

In conclusion our hypothesis was right. The lemon created the most static charge.
