No, cells in pencil shavings are not alive because they come from dead plant material that has been processed to create the pencil. Once the cells are removed from the living plant, they can no longer carry out functions of a living cell.
Well, isn't that a happy little question! Pencil shavings are actually a heterogeneous mixture because they are made up of different components like wood and graphite. Just like how each tree in a forest is unique, each pencil shaving has its own special blend of materials. Remember, there are no mistakes, just happy little accidents!
Pencil shavings are not a reliable source of nutrients for seed germination and seedling growth. They may contain chemicals or coatings that could harm the seeds or seedlings. It's best to use proper soil or compost that is rich in nutrients for successful seed germination and seedling growth.
its the color of a pencil
Although they both still have the same basic elements (i.e. pencil and lead vs water), there is a physical state change that occurs when you freeze water to make ice. Sharpening/shaving down a pencil only results in a difference of shape and size. It's about the same as ripping paper vs burning paper. Also, freezing water to make ice is a reversible change (you can melt ice to turn it back into water) and shaving a pencil is an irreversible change (you can't sharpen a pencil and then put the pencil shavings back onto the pencil.)
Pencil Shavings
Pencil Shavings... They are the little curly wood chips you get when you sharpen a pencil.
you can make a collage and put the shavings on it
No, pencil shavings are not a mineral. Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic substances with a defined chemical composition and crystal structure, while pencil shavings are small pieces of wood that have been shaved off by a pencil sharpener.
No, pencil shavings are not biodegradeable. Because of the heavy ammounts of graphite and wood. They can, however be recycled into other pencils
Go for it!
I hope not
After a pencil is sharpened, the extra materials left in the sharpener are known as pencil shavings. These should be dumped regularly as old-school electric pencil sharpeners have been known to rarely catch on fire due to an overflow of pencil shavings in the machine.
You can weigh pencil shavings by placing them on a piece of paper or a small container on a scale. After placing the shavings on the scale, record the weight display to get an accurate measurement.
no they did not that's a lie they saves pencil's
Pencil shavings are typically collected in a container or thrown away. Some artists and crafters may repurpose them for art projects or compost them to reduce waste.
