Ginger beer

Aim: To look at how yeast is used in foods.

Equipment

• Mortar and pestle
• Large spoon ​
• Kettle for warm water
• Large bowl or jug
• Sieve and funnel for straining liquid into bottles
• Plastic (PET) bottle and cap. 

Materials

Bug ( for 5 Litres)

• Warm water
• 2 tsp active dried yeast
• 2 tsp sugar
• 2 tsp ground ginger

Ginger beer ( for 1 Litre)

• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
• 200L warm water 
• 1L cold water
• Juice of 1/2 lemon, strained
• 1 tsp ginger beer bug.

Method

1. In a large bowl, put the sugar and cream of tartar, then add the warm water. 
2. Stir to dissolve the sugar before adding the cold water. 
3. Get your ginger bug and pour all the liquid (not the sludge in the bottom) into a bucket and add the lemon juice.
4. Stir well and then pour into your clean bottle.
5. Store in a cool, dark place for two weeks before drinking.
6. Make sure you open the bottle in the kitchen sink as it might overflow. Open the cap bit by bit to allow the air to escape.

• The ginger beer must be drunk over the 6 days
• You must bring the bottle back to school next term.

Science

Aim: To see which chemical 
mix creates the most gas.

Hypothesis: (What do I think will happen)

aw
Materials:

1. Balloon 
2.  salt and vinegar
3.  bottle
4. funnel
5.  water
6.  yeast

Steps:

1.  put the vinegar in the bottle with the funnel 
2. Put the baking soda and sugar in the balloon with the funnel 
3. put the balloon on the bottle and shake the balloon so then the things can go inside the balloon
4. Now you put water in the bottle
5.  and then see how the magic happens

My images:

Findings:

we found out that all the sizes of the balloons are different.

	Balloon 1 ( 3 tsp baking soda, ½ cup vinegar)	Balloon 2 ( 3 tsp salt, ½ cup soda)	Balloon 3 ( 2 tsp yeast, 1 tsp sugar )
Balloon Size (cm)
Bubbles

Rainbow skittles

In science, Mr. Tisch taught our class a science project this is what happened


Skittles

Aim: To separate colours from skittles by using the chromatography.

Materials;

1. Skittles 
2. Peatree dish 
3. 
4. 
5. 
6. 

Process:

Step 1: separate the skittles
Step 2: pour normal cold water in the peatree dish
Step 3: and watch it evolve
Step 4:
Step 5:
Step 6:

Conclusion: What have I learnt from this experiment?

we learned that if we mix all of this it would turn orange and the water tastes nice

Rainbow paper

in science we are doing an experiment right now we have a cup and a piece of chromatography paper we have felt pens as well.

Materials:

chromatography paper 

Cup

Felt pens

Process:

Put two dots on your piece of paper 

Then put your piece of paper on the side of your cup so then more than half of your paper is in the cup

Then pour normal cold water in the cup you should see the color sliding down the piece of paper

It looks kinda cool aye...

............

Aim: To separate colors by using the process of chromatography.

Definition: Chromatography is a method of separating out materials from a mixture.

Eg. blood, ink, drugs,

Scenario

A crime has been committed. The police have a signed cheque and a letter from the same crime scene but it seems like the handwriting is different. They have 3 suspects but not enough evidence. They need to know if the letter and the cheque were written by the same person.

How do they tell if the pens used for both of these pieces of evidence are the same?

Stop-motion

At our school, we are learning about stop-motion and we are going to make a movie about it. At the moment this is what we have planned...















We are going to make a stop motion video with a whiteboard. It is going to be fun and challenging...

Home Chemisry

Aim: To learn the names of 10 household chemicals and identify if they are a solid, liquid or a gas.

Definitions:

1. Element; A single form of a chemical 
2. Compound: A mixture made up of 2 or more elements
3. Reaction: A process in which chemicals mix together to form a new substance.
4. Mixture: When two or more elements are mixed together.

Equipment:

1.     
2.   
3.
