12 years old tulip flower petal

40X

When I opened a book some time ago, I found a tulip petal that was apparently in the book for 12 years! I decided to look at it and noticed something fascinating!

Though the plant cells were obviously long gone, there were red, silk-like objects resting on the petal. I realized this is exactly like the spirogyra I stained and looked at some time ago!!

The likely reason why the petal was able to still maintain its petal form even after 12 years is likely because the spirogyra never broke down and thus still maintained the petal in the position it was in years ago!

"Beauty and the Beast"

 

Hello everyone! On our last meeting, we were able to view lipstick under the microscope and find a numerous amount of heavy metal existing such as lead, beryllium, and more! It allowed me to realize how this can be deadly, especially if someone put on lipstick multiple times a day! The club is going to create a petition to the companies regarding a change in the ingredients a lipstick is made up! Come join!

sweet potato- full of starches

So like the apple, I decided to add iodine when viewing a sweet potato. The results shown below explain why the food is beneficial for our body!

The dark and blue colors shown are all starch contained inside a sweet potato. However, these starches are actually called resistant starches because they aren't fully broken down. 

The intestinal bacteria in our body actually change this into short-chain fatty acids, which can lead to less blood fats, less release of insulin, better digestion, and much more!

Expired milk seen under the microscope! By: Kyu Been Lee

"WHAT IS THAT??? IS IT LIVING??" are some questions you may be asking yourself when watching this video.
However, don't panic! These aren't living organisms inhabiting the milk. Rather, they're a movement of particles also known as the Brownian motion.
True, it looks realistic. When I saw it too, I began worrying as well. However, it is just a random movement of particles because of molecules of another medium (outside particles) pushing the inner particles that are in the fluid.
