Why does borax make bouncy balls?
Why does borax make bouncy balls? The borax acts as a “cross-linker” to the polymer molecules in the glue – basically it creates chains of molecules that stay together when you pick them up. The cornstarch helps to bind the molecules together so that they hold their shape better. How do you make a super […]
Can a comet become a meteor?
Can a comet become a meteor? Comets: Comets are dirty space snowballs of mostly ice and dust that formed during the birth of the solar system 4.6 billion years ago.

Which subatomic particle has a positive charge and negative charge?
Which subatomic particle has a positive charge and negative charge? The nucleus contains two types of subatomic particles, protons and neutrons. The protons have a positive electrical charge and the neutrons have no electrical charge. A third type of subatomic particle, electrons, move around the nucleus. The electrons have a negative electrical charge. How does […]
What does the flat part of a heating curve indicate?
What does the flat part of a heating curve indicate? Heating curves show how the temperature changes as a substance is heated up. Cooling curves are the opposite. They show how the temperature changes as a substance is cooled down. Just like heating curves, cooling curves have horizontal flat parts where the state changes from […]
