Have you tried blowing up a balloon with yeast?

Hello! For yesterday's first lesson/task which was science, we were learning how to make a fizz inflator with vinegar and baking soda! Though we had different choices of what science experiments we wanted to do, there was a yeast experiment, making your own volcano, or exploding a lunch bag! I will put these experiments below the slides.

For the experiment I chose/did, I chose the yeast experiment. This yeast experiment consisted of different ingredients and adding it in with the yeast to blow up a balloon! If you would like to do this experiment, the rest of the instructions will be in the link as I mentioned earlier!

I took some pictures of my experiment, I was going to add a time-lapse video though it wouldn't upload so instead I got some photos, and created a slide!


This experiment was very fun! I was so excited when my experiment worked! Would you want to try this experiment? How did it go for you? Let me know in the comments! Links: Build a Fizz Inflator Blow Up a Balloon With Yeast The Exploding Lunch Bag Make Your Own Volcano

The Mini Hydro-Rocket

My hypothesis will be that the rocket will create high water pressure and it'll launch up the sky, powered by the water in the rocket. As I estimated it'll fly up to 40-50 feet high.

Have you done this science experiment before?

Today our class launched a water rocket up in the sky! For our materials we have an aquapod which was the main tool, the appearance of the aquapod we had was a three-legged orange and black pod with a valve and a rubber seal. It also had a string which launches the bottle up. The rubber seal is designed to stop the water in the bottle from leaking out. We also had a single barrel foot pump for pumping in air pressure into the bottle to make the rocket fly higher. 

First you have to fill 1/3rds of the bottle with water, putting the aquapod upside down and placing the valve inside the bottle. Next you have to pump using the single barrel pump connected to the aquapod, to create air pressure inside the bottle. 

Now for the exciting part, make sure you stay about 3-5 metres away from the pod, pull the string, and the bottle will launch up in the sky! You'll see the water pressure makes the rocket launch up. 

Here's some photos for our experiment:

8 Resources to Help You be Successful in Making a 'Simple but Mesmerizing' Science Experiment!

Hello! Last week for Science we had Koka Kalo teaching us about immiscible and non-immiscible chemicals by conducting an experiment, we were sorted to go into groups created by Koka Kalo. The people I were paired up with were Irelyn and Charlotte J, each group was given a sheet of paper with a set of questions to fill in. The materials we were given will be listed in Slide 4 of the presentation.

In my opinion the reason why we were learning this was because we were learning more about science and how chemicals function and the chemical reactions it shows.

I think the science experiment was a great experience. I found the experiment exciting and fun! Though I found it hard to answer some of the questions on the slides, and we didn't explain the experiment by making a video.

What do you think of this experiment? Have you tried it with your class yet? If you have, was the experience fun for you? Let me know in the comments!

Terrific Filter Feeding Science Experiment!

 Today for reading, my class has been learning about how to "Apply prior knowledge and opinions to a text" the topic was about shellfishes, this was also a science experiment but this was a task after reading though. We had to write in how shellfishes clean the polluted water, what they eat in clean/dirty water. We also had to explain why/why not should we stop consuming shellfish. We took pictures of the science experiment and as you can see, the photos are a little bit small in size and it is found in the right coloumn below the title "What shellfishes eat in clean water". 

To write down our answers we had to research what they eat and watched a video about the task. 

I did find some things challenging about writing down what shellfishes eat, but all in all the task was alot of fun and we learnt alot at the end of the day.

Bee Report

29.8.2019- Bee Report

Classification
A bee is a member of the Apidae family and Hymenoptera Family. The superfamily, Apoidea contains at least 5,700 species of bees.

Description
A bee has three tiny simple eyes, these simple eyes assist bees with sun orientation so they can navigate well during the day, two large compound eyes, compound eyes have thousands of lenses. A short hair grows in the compound lenses of the eye. These hairs are believed to detect wind direction, antennae of a honey bee is used to smell, claws to tell sweet, bitter and salty tastes, pollen basket to carry the pollen while searching for more flowers, a stinger to protect themselves and wings to dry the nectar and to fly. 

Location
A bee lives in a hive, they can be found in flowers, collecting pollen. Many people believe that honey bees are originated in Africa and spread to Northern Europe, Eastern India, China and America. However, because honey bees have been domesticated to produce honey for use, they are now found all over the world in different habitats.


Dynamics
A bee collects nectar from flowers and on the way back to the hive, digestive enzymes are already working to turn the nectar into honey. When the worker bee returns to the hive, the worker bee will vomit the nectar into a mouth of another worker bee and to another and so on and they will create that honey.

Fact: Bees can see ultraviolet so that they can locate where the nectar is. Bees do the “Waggle Dance” so that they could find the flowers so they can collect the pollen from the nectar. If the bee does the waggle dance for 1 second it means its 1 kilometer away. 
A bee dies after stinging because their stingers come off after and soon die.
People say pure honey doesn’t expire. 

What's in a flower?

Yesterday and today, we've been learning about parts of a flower and how it pollinates.

Here is a drawing of my flower and what's in it.
