Sugar cane
Today we were lucky enough to be eating sugar cane because sugar cane doesn't usually grow in New Zealand more in the pacific islands because it was warmer there, so to be eating the sugar cane is very lucky.
Lots of people said that the sugar cane was not as sweet as they remember, but I had never had sugar cane before so I had nothing to compare the sugar cane to.
How to make bubbles:
One part water, one part soap, and some glycerol to make the last a little longer
Task 1:
Make a caterpillar bubble.
How it worked: The caterpillar was much harder than I thought that it would be. A tip that the teacher gave to us is we should be using the different sized straws for the different bubbles as you go down. Then something that I learnt on the way is that you need to be quick or it will drop.
Task 2:
Make a carousel bubble.
How it worked: Every time that I tried to spin the carousel I just pop the bubbles. A tip the teacher gave us is to blow gently and slowly because the more that you blow the faster that it will get.
Task 3:
Make a cube bubble.
How it worked: This one was very easy and entertaining. The bubbles stuck together very well and seeing the cube in the middle was very cool. It was very interesting seeing the different shapes and not seeing the original sphere and cylinder.
On Tuesday my science class was testing out laboratory Equipment. Using the laboratory Equipment we did an experiment, on how long sugar takes to dissolve in hot and cold water. The time that me and my buddy got for the hot water was 24 seconds and in the cold water was 1m.12s
Task 1
Aim of the experiment:
How long does sugar take to dissolve in hot and cool water:
Equipment:
A weighing machine or a pair of scales
Spatula
A pipette (or proper)
Results (the outcome):
Cool water: 1m.12s
Hot water: 24 seconds
The average times
The cold water is 1min to 1min thirty.
Hot water lasts twenty to thirty seconds.
