Activity 2 1/12/2011 Dihydrogen Monoxide

Would you give DHMO to your mother?
No I would not it is not yet confirmed that DHMO may or may not cause cancer and I would not want to risk my mothers health on this experiment.

Scientific Method

  • Question: Would you give this to your mother?
  • Background research: There are pros and cons to this product
  • Construct a hypothesis: The benefits of this product could not possibly out weigh the repercussions of it. 
  • Experiment: Test on lab rats
  • Analyze the data and form a conclusion from testing on the lab rats
  • Put all the data into a graph and communicate the results

Do you think the government should research (spend money) to better understand heath affects of DHMO?
No there is research that says that DHMO is odorless is odorless, colorless, tasteless and kills uncounted thousands of people every year. It has been found in terminal cancer patients. It is currently being added into some junk foods and other food products and is used in pesticides. I think this is dangerous and the use of this chemical should be stopped.
