This term we were doing science.
My favorite experiment is the skittles colors merged with the water. My least favorite experiment is the filtration because I’ve already done this at my old school so it was just the same. Me and Josh, we were doing skittles and I listened to his ideas.
One of the science experiments that I did not like is scones. It felt like I was at home helping my mum with baking, it was boring but we made scones that had lemonade in it and no baking soda. But my group scones where go so we didn't get any but one of my friends at another table let my group have some of theirs.

Schubert and white powder science home chemistry
Aim: To learn about the makeup of different white powders.
date 21 march
There are a number of different white powders in our everyday life. Some of these are harmful and others are not. Test the four white powders listed to see which one has been found at the airport.
These are the four powders we will be using. Upload a photo of each powder.

3. Salt
4. Sugar
Materials
1. sugar
2. salt
3. baking soda
4. cornflour
5. vinegar
6. water
7. Iodine
8. black paper and pencil and ruler
9. a drop Vermonter.
Steps
1. line up the black paper with a ruler the squares 4 should be the same size.
2. write the one four names at the top of each squares names salt sugar baking soda cornflower.
3. tip two table spoons on one of the squares that is named but put the same powder with it name sugar with sugar.
4. separate the powers in to 3 piles.
5. now use the drop Vermonter and water on one pile on each of
6.
Write a paragraph about your findings.
Once you have completed your blog and cleaned up all your equipment you can make sherbet.

Rainbow paper/skittles
Aim: To separate colours by using the process of chromatography.
Definition: A technique for separating the different parts of a mixture / solid using liquid.
Rainbow paper
Materials;
1. paper
2. water pens colours red green and black
3. water
4. cup
5. ruler
6. pen/pencil
Process:
Step 1: draw a 2 cm away from the top and draw a 1 cm line a way from the bottom
Step 2: draw 3 dots on the bottom of the 1 cm one red one green and one black.
Step 3: put it in the cup.
Step 4: fill the cup up to the line with the dots with water.
Findings: the dots were going up with the water up the paper. the black was turning blue and the green was turning yellow and the red was going lighter.
Reflection: I learnt maybe I will do it in lines and see how it will turned out

Skittles
Aim: To separate colours by using the process of chromatography.
Materials;Aim: To separate colours by using the process of chromatography.
2. plastic container
3. water
4. cup
Process:
Step 1: put the skittles in the container edges.
Step 2: pour water in the cup from tap.
Step 3: pour the water from the cup.
Findings: the skittles each colour formed triangle and then merged into brown water and the skittles went white.
Reflection: spreed the skittles out so the experiment will work better.
the colours made a triangle to the middle and then merged into brown grows water.
reading my name is rez
introduction: there is a refugee is a person who has been forced to leave their country because it was unsafe this is because of war or political unrest.
