Making and testing sherbet

Ko te Raapa o te Mahuru o tenei ra

We are learning to record  observations that link directly to our science experiments.

Todays Science experience is sherbet. We used Icing sugar, baking powder, citric acids, and flavoured drinks powder (RARO). We had mixed it together. After I mixed the ingredients together it was time for tasting. Once you put the sherbet in your mouth, it feels like it’s exploding in your mouth and has a really fizzy taste. Then the taste got really sweet and sour that makes you do a funny squint face. Then your mouth are full of saliva. Once you swallow you can feel fizzy going down your throat. But I think the icing sugar made it tasty and the baking soda made it fizzy and explode in your mouth.
