| Division: | Physical & Mathematical Sciences | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Waterloo-Wellington | | City: | Waterloo, ON | | School: | Centennial P.S. | | Abstract: | The strengths of different adhesives were investigated, including our all natural and edible glue, GLeu. It is composed of three active ingredients, water, sugar and mochiko (sweet flour rice). Once microwaved for 45 seconds at a high setting, a translucent paste is created. GLeu was tested against LePage's children's glue. The results show a 1.5 Newton advantage for our glue over LePage’s children's glue. |
