Sweet and Sour

This week my reading group has been using the sweet and sour kit. In this blog post you will show you what we did in this kit.

On Wednesday we did a activity called sweet and sour. We were exploring the chemicals to see what pH level it was.My reading group first got a tube and put some water in it and sat back down. Then we got a spoon and put some baking soda on it and got a dropper got so water in the dropper and put it on the spoon. Then we put the indicator paper in the liquid and then a colour would tell you if it is a acid or a base. We used a indicator paper to see if it was. We also were seeing if it was a acid or a base we had baking soda, icing sugar, flavour raro,citric acid and vinegar. We found out that 2 of them were bases and the rest were acids.


In our 3 experiment we made a pH indicator with a red Cabbage that came with the box. We first riped a leaf of red cabbage and put it in a plastic bag. After that we went to go get some hot water in our bag. We had to squished the bag so that the cabbage went every were. Then we put  some of the cabbage into the test tubes. Then we put the test things into the cabbage water to find out what was a acid or a base they changed colours instently. We figered out that 2 of then were acids and 2 of them were bases. I was surprised that it was a pH indicator.

The House of Science

In W1 my reading group was doing a science experiment. We were learning about climate change. We learnt that there is 4 sphere the sphere are Atmosphere, Biosphere, Geo sphere and Hydrosphere and if one of those start to break the earth would start to break. Say if the biosphere started to break the plants would die and the animals wont have a place to live then they die. If  the plants would die and we would not have any food so we will die.

Our experiment was that we had a balloon and we put some salt water and food colouring in and froze it over night that made it to ice. After 1 day we pooped the balloon and cot a bucket. We put water in the bucket and put the ice. Did you know that if ice melts in the water the water wont get higher that's what I found out from our experiment. It was a relly cool experiment I wish i could do another one like that
