Terminal Damage
| Challenge: | Innovation | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Peterborough | | City: | Peterborough, ON | | School: | James Strath P.S. | | Abstract: | Button-shaped, 3V lithium batteries (2032) were coated with 5 treatments and inserted into chicken wieners over a 10 minute trial to simulate human ingestion. Quantitative and qualitative observations of the wieners were taken each minute to record simulated damage to a human esophagus from ingestion. Paraffin wax coating on the batteries was determined to be the most effective coating to prevent damage to the wiener. |
