We believe that the elasticity of the rubber band is going to increase as the temperature increases in our experiment.
Rubber band experiment elasticity.
Elasticity of the rubber band is defined as the maximum length the rubber band stretches from its initial length when weight is placed on it.
Rubber elasticity refers to a property of crosslinked rubber.
Rubber band elasticity and temperature.
Next observe the 1000ml beaker and convert the distance the rubber band could stretch from ml to cm.
It covers so many things and i have many other aspects that i hope to share with you soon but one thing that explains energy so well is a simple rubber band.
This can be repeated many times with no apparent degradation to the rubber.
It can be stretched by up to a factor of 10 from its original length and when released returns very nearly to its original length.
Place the rubber band flat on a table and mark two lines from where the rubber band s elasticity will be measured.
Rubber band elasticity and temperature from science buddies science activities for all ages from science buddies.
Then the experiment can begin.
Repeat the experiment this time figuring out a way to start with ice water and end with near boiling water.
The rubber in rubber bands is bound together by thousands of long chains of molecules that are coiled together something like a net.
Energy is a great subject in science.
Anything attached to the rubber band may be flung forwards or upwards with the force of this energy.
The first experiment we show uses the potential energy stored in a rubber band to launch a paper rocket.

Rubber is a member of a larger class of materials called elastomers and it is difficult to overestimate their economic and.
Experiment 1 make a paper rocket.
Then measure the length of the rubber band within the marks just drawn.
For this experiment you will need a piece of paper.
It can demonstrate elasticity kinetic energy and potential energy and it great to use in some really cool experiments.
