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.

Rubbish Bins should be Banned - My speech 2013

It has been far too long having school rubbish bins and it should be BANNED from school grounds. Thats right! It should be BANNED! B.A.N.N.E.D! Banned! Do you want to know why rubbish bins should be banned from school grounds? Then listen to my speech.

Rubbish should be banned from the school grounds because students can be lazy and they end up putting their rubbish in their pockets or they end up littering. But Littering is a big NO NO for school rules and also New Zealand’s Law.

It can also be a waste of time for students to put their rubbish in the bin because they have pockets to put in their rubbish. It will also be a waste of time for teachers and students to waste their time picking up rubbish than  in class learning cool things about what’s happening around the world. It also would be annoying and frustrating for teachers and students to scare the seagulls and birds away.

But where would your rubbish go if theres no rubbish bins? That’s the problem. There is always a smart way to think about, like putting your rubbish in your lunchbox and take the rubbish home and throw it in the bin, or you can make your own food wrap but has to be a reusable so you can use it again.

These are my reasons why i think rubbish bins should be banned from school grounds. So next time you have rubbish where do you think you should put it?

Chemical Reaction

The four substance that we explore can be grouped under the name of carbonate.

When each of the carbonate were put in our mouth it reacted by giving a taste.

Describe the Reaction:

• I had a twinkle feeling on my tongue and it started to go on my inside cheeks.
• The reaction was the same when the tartaric touch my mouth.
• felt like tiny things on top of your tongue.
• There was no reaction on some of the ingredients.

Acids that we find in the kitchen:

• Lemon
• Orange
• Vinegar
• Lime
• Soya sauce
  When you mix a substance that contains an acids (for example, vinegar, citrus, fruit juice, acids.) with a carbonate ( for example washing powder, baking powder, chalk, marble, eggshells, or limestone) the two react to from a carbon dioxide gas. It is the escaping gas that causes the fizzing. The reaction can be expressed in the following way.

Acid + carbonate → carbon dioxide + a salt + water 2HCI + CaCos --> CoCle + H2o hydrochloric acid + limestone → carbon dioxide + calcium  chloride + water.

Basin Walk Report

Caption: Ethan testing out his underwater machine.

Room 8 went to Panmure Basin for their Underwater viewing machines testing. They were trying to discover what is under the water. When Room 8 got to Panmure Basin, Mrs Dines gave Frankie a canister and asked her to get a small amount of the Beachfront water and told Mrs Foden that she has to watch Frankie while Mrs Dines takes the rest of Room 8 to the area where they are going to test their Underwater viewing machines, and afterwards they can catch up.

When Room 8 got to the area where they were testing their Underwater viewing machines, it was an area that had a park next to it. When Frankie and Mrs Foden caught up, Mrs Dines had to check the water before room 8 can go in and test their machines.

When Mrs Dines says it was ok Ethan and Asia was already by a rock testing their machines.

When Mrs Dines saw small little fishes and told everyone, Asia jumped up on the rock and started to scream and almost pushed half of the class into the water.

After an hour of screaming and pushing half of the class into the water, room 8 and Mrs Dines decided to head back to school before the bell rang for morning tea.

Always get along with family!

Family are the most important people in our lives. You can always learn about your family history and also can do some new awesome activities to do with your family. However you may not get along with other families from the past history but you can always forgive and forget. I think that we should get along with the families that you may not get along with.If you don’t agree with me, well here are some reason you should agree with me.

First reason is that we should get along with other families because there’re  may be the only peoples in your life that will always be at your side no matter what and that you can always look up too.

Second reason is that if you give them a chance to prove themselves to you that they are wonderful people and they deserve to be in your life.

Third reason is that you can always learn new things from other families, and you may have lots of things in common with. We also don’t want drama’s happening in our life too.

Last reason is that if you don’t get along you will miss so many things that has happen in their life.

These are all that reason why families should get along with other families because we don’t want drama’s do we?
