Cosmetology and the Science
Connection
- Earth Science
- 8.B.2. Evidence of
Change: Recognize and
explain that fossils found
in layers of sedimentary
rock provide evidence of
changing life forms.
- Earth science
is related to
cosmetology.
- Fossils on the earth are
sometimes turned into
products that are used to
create makeup.
- Astronomy
- 8.D.2. Regular and
Predictable Motion:
Identify and explain
celestial phenomena
using the regular and
predictable motion of
objects in the solar
system.
- Motion is used
for cosmetics
when we do
hair and
makeup.
- Our body moves every
time we do our hair
because we have to move
to do it.
- We move when applying our makeup.
- Biology
- 8.D.1. Change Over
Time: Recognize and
describe that
evolutionary change
in species over time
occurs as a result of
genetic variation in
organisms and
environmental
changes.
- Some cosmetic products, such
as makeup and synthetic hair, is
used by humans to enhance
their beauty.
- Some of the
products are
produced by
animals that have
grown over time to
be mature enough
for the use of these
products.
- Chemistry
- 8.D.2. Chemical Properties: Cite evidence of
give examples of chemical properties of
substances.
- Beauty products for hair
(shampoo, conditioner, hair spray,
and oils) have plenty of chemical
substances in them.
- Products used to
cleanse the face
have surfactants in
them. (surfactant-a
substance that tends
to reduce the surface
tension of a liquid in
which it is dissolved.)
- Physics
- 8.A.4. Energy Transformation: Recognize and explain
that energy can neither be created or destroyed; rather
it changes form or is transferred through the action of
forces.
- Liposuction is a
type of
cosmetic
surgery.
- Knowing how the Starling forces
act on the adipose tissue can help
the liposculptor manipulate these
forces and can improve efficiency.
- Thermodynamics
- 8.B.1. Transfer of Heat:
Describe and cite
evidence that heat can
be transferred by
conduction, convection
and radiation.
- Flat irons are a tool used to change
the structure of hair. It produces
heat and straightens the hair most
of the time.
- The product produces
heat using ceramic plates
that heat up when turned
on. Some people even use
handle-holders to stop the
heat from touching their
hand when they hold the
flat irons.
- Environmental Issues
- 8.B.1. Environmental Impact:
Recognize and explain how human
activities can accelerate or magnify
many naturally occurring changes.
- People use plenty of natural resources for cosmetic purposes.
- Every time they take this stuff away from the
environment, it takes away something good for the
environment.
