Me, Tyler and Bryce were a team and our name was the bright work  which we painted rocks.

we painted 25 rocks and all we ordered was paint brushes and 2 box's of acrylic paint.

here are some photos of the rocks.

i painted all of these. 

Tyler and Bryce painted these rocks.

left was only 10 rocks left with (i think) 10 tokens.

The yeast is a living thing that will try and eat the sugar because it loves glucose and when it does it will release carbon-dioxide and alcohol. also us humans breath out carbon-dioxide. and 1 more fact about yeast it really warmth places.

pH Colours

 Aim: 

I want to find out what the colours of pH are.

Research:

Method

Equipment 

• Acid-Hydrochloric 
• Base-Sodium Hydroxide 
• Test tubes rack with test tubes 
• universal indicator 

instructions:

1. Get your Equipment 
2. but 10 drops of universal indicator 
3. Add different amounts of acid and base into the test tubes 
4. watch what happens to the colours 

Results:

discussion:

When two or more substance combine, they create one or more new substance, which sometimes have different molecular structures from the original substance, meaning they absorb and radiate light in different ways, leading to a colour change.

how do you measure acid levels?

Red litmus turns blue in basic solutions, blue litmus turns red acidic solution, and neutral litmus (usually purple) turns red acidic solutions and blue in basic solutions. To find the specific pH of a sample, you will need pH test paper or strip that is more precise than a litmus strip.

what is an acid?

A substance with particular chemical properties including turning litmus red, neutralizing alkalis, and dissolving some metals; typically, a corrosive or sour-tasting liquid of this kind

 

Making Sherbet

Aim: i want to find out how to make sherbet 

Research:

Method 

• Equipment
• Baking soda
• Citric acid 
• Raro 
• Popsicle stick 
• water

• instructions

1. mix the baking soda, Raro and citric acid together with a Popsicle stick.
2. keep tasting it so it can turn into sherbet and if it does not taste like sherbet then keep mixing it. 
3. if it taste like sherbet then put it in water 
4. drink it and WA LA

 Results:

when you mix the powder it will make different taste like a sour from the critic acid and when you put it in water it would foam. 

Discussion. 

why did it foam?

The fizzing foam that the sherbet makes when it touches the tongue is a result of a very simple chemical reaction when mixing all the powder together when putting water with the powder it has carbondioxide and that's what makes it foam.

Safety in the lab

 1. Liquids do not go into the bins, because they could stick to the material in the bin, then when they would be emptied into the trash and sent to landfill, they would seriously pollute the landfill. 

2. Solids do not go down the sink because they could block the water ways and it will go to taps and if someone drinks the water/liquid it will kill them.

3. Wear safety glasses when you do experiments,

because the experiments might explodes in your face and it might damage your eyes.

4. Put your chair under the desk, and stand at the bench 

when you do experiments, because you could trip over with a experiment and hurt yourself.

5. Bags do not go on the desks, because the chemicals could leak in your bag.

6. Long hair should be tied back, because it could do something bad to your hair.

7. Do not smell the chemicals, because you could pass out. 

8. Walk, don’t run around the room, because you could trip and break a bone.

9. Do not eat or drink in the lab, because you could get poisoned and maybe die.

One day there was a bat that had a tiny little bat for his son. The son really wanted to do bat cricket but the son lied to his dad because he didn't want to do bat soccer. 

They practised some cricket and the dad surprised his son by going to the beach for the day. So they got in the car and the second they played in the sand and made sandcastles, the bats were digging in the sand until a CRAB FAMILY CAME OUT OF THE SAND!!! So the bats ran to the ocean and the bats said “Why are the crabs not chasing us?” And a big wave came. The bats luckily flew away from the wave, and they went to the car to go home. 

In the car, the son bat said “I didn't want to do soccer so I said I wanted to do cricket instead.” and the dad bat said “That's ok son you can do anything you want because it's your decision.” And then they got up and went to bed. The End.
