pH Indicators

 Hello today I and my class are learning about pH indicators. 

Definition: pH (potential of hydrogen) is a scale of acidity from 0 to 14 with 7
being neutral.
All solutions have a pH. Acid solutions, have lower pH. Alkaline solutions,
have higher pH.
Substances that aren't acidic or alkaline (that is, neutral solutions) usually have a pH of 7. Acids have a pH that is less than 7. Alkaline have a pH that is greater than 7.

Write down the 15 substances from the diagram and beside them list their pH level.

List them under 2 headings. 1. Acidic 2. Alkaline

Experiment: Red Cabbage indicator.
Equipment:
Red Cabbage
Knife
Bunsen Burner
Beaker

Water

Method:
Cut the cabbage into small pieces.
Place the cabbage in the beaker and fill it with 50 ml of water.
Once the cabbage has boiled for 2 minutes turn it off and leave it to cool down.

Name another pH indicator used in a science lab?

Here are 4 Acids. Battery Acid, Stomach Acid, Lemon and Vinegar.

Here are 4 Alkaline's. Drain Cleaner, Bleach, Soap and Baking Soda.

By using red cabbage as an indicator we can determine what the pH level is of substances.

Chilli

Hello today i'm doing a post about chili in science.

Here are three videos about chilli's Aim: I want to find the best way to cool down your tongue after eating the Carolina Reaper chilli. Research:

Here are three facts about the Carolina Reaper 

The Carolina Reaper was originally called HP22B.

The Carolina Reaper was artificially created.

The Reaper doesn't effect birds and they don't feel it because they don't have the effects of Capsaicin.

Method:

Equipment

Carolina Reaper Sauce

Popsicle Stick 

Drinks. Cola, Water and milk.

Timer.

Instructions

1. Get your equipment ready.

2. Get a drop of the hot sauce on your popsicle stick.

3. Lick the Hot Chilli sauce.

4. Start the timer.

5. After around one minute drink your cola, water or milk.

6. After five minutes how hot is your mouth.

7. Repeat the experiment but with a different drink.

Drink	Effect out of 10.
Water	8/10
Milk	2/10
Cola	4/10

thanks for reading thanks tom.

Persuasive Writing

 Hello today i'm going to be sharing my work in Persuasive Writing.

Here is my work:

Animals Shouldn't be kept in a zoo. (title)

I strongly believe that animals should be kept in a zoo. Presently zoos take care of lot's of animals, help endangered secedes and assist animals in their births.

Firstly, in New Zealand zoos like Orana Park have lots of native animals like the kiwi, tui and eels. These animals live in encloses for the safety and comfort of the animals.

Additionally Auckland zoo have crocodiles, spiders and dinosaur bones that have been preserved for many years and will be there for many years to come. So that younger generations can see what we see today.

Finally zoos take care of the animals, clean them and feed them!

In conclusion I think animals should be kept in a zoo.

Growing Bacteria!

 Today i'm sharing my post about science and growing bacteria!

Our aim was the grow bacteria in a week. For this we used a agar plate, a cotton bud swab, a vivid pen and some sellotape. Our method was to first. Collect the bacteria on a cotton bud swab from taps, computer keyboards or desks. 2. Divide the agar in half by drawing a line on the lid. 3. Wipe the swab onto the agar solution. 4. Put the Petri dish into the incubator for one week to allow the bacteria to grow. 5. Draw and label the bacteria. 6. Draw and label a scientific diagram of the experiment. 

Later this week I will update this post. But in the meantime have a great day!
