Chemistry Expo Learning Targets

1. Explain the importance of accurate measurements while creating your product.

​If you don't have accurate measurements, then you don't have a specific          recipe. 



2. Differentiate between your product’s phase changes based on the application of heat energy.​

We didn't add heat energy to our product, but if we did the nail polish would start bubbling. 

​

​

​

​

3. Demonstrate how chemical changes form new substances within your product.

A example of chemical change with our product was adding fragrance oil to our nail polish changed the smell. ​

​

​

​

​

4. Analyze how individual properties differ from the properties of your final product.​

​The nail polish without the fragrance oil wouldn't smell. So without it it would not be scented nail polish.

​

​

​

​

5. Apply the importance of specific elements within your product.

Nitrocellulose (a element in regular nail polish) is important because without that element the nail polish would not go on right.

​

​

​

​

​

6. Show the relevance of different chemical compounds within your product.

Butyl Acetate or Ethyl Acetate is a chemical that Nitrocellulose is dissolved in to make the nail polish.

​

​

​

​

​

7. Evaluate different physical and chemical changes that occur with the creation of your product.

A physical change in our product would be the color change of the nail polish when the Mica is added. A chemical change is the smell of our product after we add the fragrance oil to the nail polish mixture.

​

​

​

​

​

8. Support how the Law of Conservation of Mass applies to the formation of your product.



First, the Law of Conservation of Mass states that in a chemical reaction atoms are neither created nor destroyed.  Our nail polish was a chemical change and the law relates that over time mass in a system is constant.
