We then plotted their reaction time with their left hand and their right.

Annabel Baldwin wrote up our Cornstarch Explosion Lab from yesterday:
step 1 question: what will happen when cornstarch is mixed with fire?
step 2 hypothesis: I think that when cornstarch mixes with fire that the flame will get larger.
step 4 plan: to do this experiment we will need to blow cornstarch intoa propane torch and see what will happen. we will need a lighter, a propane torch, cornstarch, gloves, safety goggles,fire extinguisher, and a piece of paper.
step 5 analyze: the results of the experiment are that the cornstarch only reacts when blown into the fire. Why does that happen? Well, if you blow the cornstarch into the air there is oxygen with the cornstarch and oxygen is needed for fire. And yes my hypothesis was corrrect because the cornstarch made the fire expand.
Unfortunately, our magnificent photographer neglected to take a picture of the explosion :(
