At what pressure do different types of nuts crack? Hypothesis:The nut with the thickest shell will take the most amount of pressure to crack. Variables:
Various Nuts:
Thirty pieces of each type of nut
1] Measure the length, width and height of a nut. The Brazil nuts took the most amount of pressure to crack. The pecan on the other hand was the easiest to crack. Conclusion:My hypothesis was incorrect. The Brazil nuts, which did not have the thickest shell, took the most amount of pressure to crack. I think the Brazil nut was the hardest to crack because it had the hardest shell. I also think the nut, which is very hard, supports the shell because it fit very tightly in it. I think I was incorrect because a shell could be very thick, but also be very soft, and it would still take less amount of pressure to crack. I also think I was incorrect because the more space between the shell and the nut the easier it was to crack. It may have been that it was easier to crack because the nut did not support the shell. Biblical Application:
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. James 1: 2-4
