Hokey Pokey

Hello today we are making hokey pokey.

Aim: To make hokey pokey using sugar, golden syrup and baking soda.

When the sugar and golden syrup combine with the baking soda it froths and makes carbon dioxide gas. That is why the hokey pokey has bubbles.

Materials:

1. 2 tablespoons Golden Syrup
2. 4 tablespoons sugar
3. 1 Heaped teaspoon of baking soda
4. Pot
5. Tablespoon and teaspoon
6. Bunsen burner
7. Grease proof paper
8. 

Method:

1. Put 4 tablespoons of sugar and 2 tablespoons of golden syrup in a saucepan and melt.
2. Bring to the boil and simmer gently for 5 minutes
3. Add baking soda and stir vigorously.
4. Put the hokey pokey on a piece of grease prove paper to to cool.

The more the sugar syrup is cooked the browner it becomes. If it is left cooking for to long your hokey pokey becomes burnt.

Explanation:

1. Why do we stir it?
2. Explain why  the hokey pokey rises and has bubbles?
3. What gas is made by the baking soda and sugar?

Fingerprinting 2.0

 Hello everyone welcome to or back to my blog.

Today i'm sharing another fingerprint blog post with you. Today we are learning to get finger prints.

Aim: Lifting and gathering fingerprints. 

1. Lifting and Gathering Fingerprints.

Equipment:

1. Make-Up Brush

2. Powder

3. Tape

4. Black Paper.

Method:

1. Find a surface/get your black paper. 

2. Get your brush and get a little coco/baby powder on your brush.

3. Put your fingerprint on the surface.

4. Get your brush and brush the surface.

5. Get the remainder on your powder and put it back in the container you should have.

6. Get tape and take your fingerprint off. Enjoy. You can also add to a dark slab if you want to!

Business and Enterprise.

 Hello Everyone Today i'm sharing a blog post about Business and Enterprise.

On Wednesday 1st of December we had business and enterprise (B&E). Me and 3 of my mates, choose to try to sell seeds on a tape (Seed Tape). I was the CEO so that means that I was in meeting and would help my team do there jobs.

We had $20 to spend but we only spend around $5. We had to send a letter to the big boss and ask to get $5 and we had to try to make at least $6 to make profit. But we originally wanted to do posters in picture frames of famous celebrity. But then we made a decision to do seed tape. Because are product was small it we only used one 1 period to make it. 

Here is a picture of the seed tape:

Like I said before we choose to do seed tape but looking back our business would of been more successful if we did posters. But in regards to if we made a profit. No we didn't because our business was intended to be brought buy the adult that wore surpost to be there but wasn't because the school shut it down early. Also we didn't keep the value so we put it down to 2 for 50 cents. 

But by the end if the day it was kind of fun and it was a long day but I got though it.

Fingerprinting.

 Hello everyone welcome to or back to my blog.

Today i'm going to share about what we are doing in science. By the title you already know but for some reason if you don't, It's fingerprinting. 

These are the three things you'll need to do this.

Ink pad, Paper and if you have it a microscope.

This is the method:

1. Get a peace of paper and fold it up four times.

2. Get out your ink pad.

3. Put your finger on the ink pad and then on the paper.

4. Then last look though (your microscope) or at your fingerprints and see what fingerprint you have.

Loops: Loops are the most common type of fingerprint. 65% of the population has this type of fingerprint. 

Whorls: Whorls are the second most common type of fingerprint. 30% of the population has whorls.

Arches: Arches are the least common type of fingerprint. Only 5% of the population has Arches.

My fingerprint is a whorl here are some pictures of it. 

Thank you for looking and reading my post. If you have time leave a comment. Thanks Tom.

Taking Care of Yourself

 Hello today i'm sharing and posting about what we have done in health this week.

Did you know that your heart is a muscle and if you be more active your heart will get bigger and stronger, aim for 150 minutes of fitness each week. This activity could be walking, biking or working out. 

Two things i'm doing at the moment is playing 3v3 basketball and also I use a app called fitness coach. Fitness coach is on ios and android. If you are not into sports you can go for walks around your block or if you are into it. You can go to a gym and your area and try new things.

pH Test Experiment

 Hello everyone today i'm sharing a post with you. 

This post is about what we did in science today. 

Aim: To make red cabbage pH indicator for use on different

household chemicals.

Red Cabbage Indicator experiment
Materials

Red Cabbage
Beaker
Bunsen Burner
Pipette
Sodium Hydroxide
Hydrochloric acid
Test Tubes ( x5)
Paper towel
Test tube rack
Water
Steps
Chop up the red cabbage into small pieces. Place in a beaker and cover with a

small amount of water.
Bring the solution to the boil using a Bunsen burner and then turn off the heat.

Let it sit to cool down.
Pour the cabbage water through a paper towel into a beaker. The dark purple liquid in the

jar is the pH indicator liquid.

Suck up the indicator into a pipette.
In a test tube, use the cabbage indicator and the pH chart below to test the acidity of the hydrochloride acid and ammonium hydroxide.

Findings.

What is the pH of liquids.

Sodium Hydroxide
Hydrochloric acid
