Nice! How are you filling up your binder? A few pages on lipids and stuff?

The rules didn't say if we could bring in a stopwatch. Can we attach one to our Viscosity Device or put it in the binder? How else can you use a viscosity device without a stopwatch? I am so confused

Good question. The rules explicity state what you CAN bring, a binder and a cheapo calculator. It later says that event supervisors must bring all items necessary for lab activities. I'm assuming that would include a timepiece, but we shouldn't assume when we both are confused about it. I'd suggest you bring one and ASK if you can bring it into the testing room/if it's counted as part of your homemade viscosity tester in the event they don't provide it (you know how invitationals are...). In the meantime, I'm submitting a clarification. I'll post if they provide a response.

ok thanks so much!!

You would think you would be able to bring a stopwatch, that is confusing you should cheek the rules again.

food science seems like there is alot of components to it i mean it seems really hard. i just learned how to read nutrition labels and now we are testing the different ingredients in cupcakes

i think the supervisors will provide them so that none are tampered with. you need to use one to test viscosity and you wont be able to do it so yeah

does anyone know what centipoise is? our team cant find it anywhere

Poise is the SI unit for viscosity. 1 centipoise is 0.01 poise.
