Sherbet Experiment

Today in science, we did a science experiment involving sherbet. We first got a recording sheet for keeping track of the amount of scoops of each ingredients we added. For this, we needed ingredients such a icing sugar, baking soda, citric acid,artaric acid, and we needed a cup. Before we used them, we had a try at all the ingredients. We first tried the icing sugar and it was really powdery and sweet. Then, we had the baking soda and mostly everyone was running straight to the toilets. After, we tasted the citric acid and that was bitter and really strong. Finally, we ate the tartaric acid and it was sour and was very strong flavoured. When we finished, we got a cup and put a bit of each ingredient and mixed it up. Eventually, we got to try it out and we could add as much of each thing as much as we want. At the end, we were all allowed to try each and everyone's cup of ingredients and they were all very good. I'm really glad that we could get the opportunity to do this and we all really had fun.

Potato Gun Experiment

Today in science, we did a test for potato guns. The things we used were McDonald straws, a skewer, a potato, and paper to record your results. The first thing you need to do is put some potato in the by stabbing your straw in the potato. You'll need a bit of potato in one end. Secondly, you need to put some potato in the other end. Once you've done that, you need to slowly push the skewer in the straw in any end. Make sure you use the blunt side of the skewer and not the sharp side because you could pick up the potato. The way you know that you've done it is when you see it fly pretty far. And maybe it wouldn't work for others because you either used the wrong side or maybe you pushed the skewer in too fast. Or maybe because it wasn't airtight. This experiment didn't work for everyone but it was fun.

Science Experiment

Today in science, we did a science experiment. The experiment was to use different types of tweezers and they were all labeled with numbers in codes. We all picked a tweezer that would pick up skittles and gummy bears the best. We named them Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, Type 4, Type 5, and Type 6. For the gummy, we chose type 5 because it would just poke through it and because the surface of the tweezer is very soft and was wide enough to scoop it up. But before we tested it, we got to eat a skittle and a gummy bear each. Then after, we got to eat the rest of the skittles and gummy bears. And, we had to record which one was the best for us to use. The experiment was very good and we were glad to be a part of it.
