Gummy Bear Osmosis

Hello everyone welcome to my blog.

We have been doing a new practical in science about gummy bears. We put gummy bears in salt water, normal water and sugar water. We left the gummy bears in the petri dish we had for 24 hours. There were 8 gummy bears all the same colours. Here is what I wrote on this topic.

Aim: To demonstrate osmosis

Hypothesis: for the water I think that the gummy bears will stay the same. For salt I think that they will start to dissolve because the salt and sweet of the gummy bear will clash so I think it will shrink. I think that the gummy bear will react nicely with the gummy bear by making it bigger 

Results: All the gummy bears grew and they could have grown more without a lid. They also lost quite a bit of colour. I think it happened because the water must have made the gummy bear bigger because the gummy bear has water in it and you put water in z made it grow. They were quite fragile and very mushy. The colours were quite faded

 

Thanks for reading my blog post. Whats your favourite colour gummy bear?

Sincerely-

Room 14

Hello everyone welcome back to my blog.

I have made a horror story about "room 14" it was very fun to make it was quite a a good time making this there is 600+ words in it hope you enjoy it.

Marcus had always wondered why no one ever went to room 14. Now he knew  There was a massacre in 1993. There was a man who came to the school as a clown at exactly 10:23. He was a crazy man. The kids were so happy to go to morning tea that when they saw the clown, they were not skeptical at all. They got so excited but then the clown went into the class and they looked at the teacher and he looked very confused. The clown came in and locked the door. The teacher said “What are you doing here?”. The clown smiled and laughed in a very crazy way. The teacher rushed at the clown but with him hardly moving, the clown put him on the ground and he was unconscious. The kids went to the back of the room and huddled in fear where the clown was just smiling in a crazy way. A kid latched onto a pipe in the corner of the room. The clown grabbed him and locked him in a cupboard and he yelled out “WHO’S NEXT?!!! HAHAHAHAHA”. One by one he made the kids tremble until there was one left. He said to the boy, “I’m going to have fun with you!” He locked the little boy in a small room in the building some say his spirit still lays there and every time at 10:23 they say he comes out the small room and any kid he can see he puts in there with him and says “Now I have a friend.”

I had a feeling this was just a rumor so me and my friend Dion went in the room at 10 O'clock. We banged on the door where the boy apparently was. We did not care, we knew it was not real. Until Dion started to get scared I started calling him a chicken then it struck 10:23. 

The boy came out of the small room and smiled and said which one am I going to take first he antagonized the boys banging right next to them saying “Do you like that?” He showed him all the scars and what the clown did to him. Then he played a horrible game of would you rather made us turn on each other and pick who went in the small room with the boy. I pushed Dion away from me and he looked at me and said “Fine I can’t deal with the guilt, but I guess you can screw you Marcus.” 

I felt bad yet good about myself. I thought, do I really deserve to live? Soon I realised how bad of a person I was. I did that to my best friend. I wonder if I can get him back. I came back at 2am and snuck through the school and came to room 14. I took a deep breath in and walked in. I was as careful as possible. I go up to the door and try to open the door putting all my strength into opening it and I open it and see Dion unconscious. I grab him and bring him to the hospital. I told them what happened and they thought I was crazy. Until Dion gets up and climbs on the roof and his head starts to spin. The doctor injected him with a needle and he passed out.

They were safe or were they?????

Thanks for reading do you have any fears?

Operation Wheels

Hello everyone welcome to my blog post.

I have been doing a story about a wheel invention. For hur 2. First we put it in our work books and Mr White edited it and gave us feedback. It was a very nice way to improve my handwriting and many other aspects. It took about 2 weeks to do this hope you like it! Here it is

The year is 2300 I have made a new invention. I have called it Prostrat. It’s an electronic wheel that produces 500,000 volts. It powers a whole country in a matter of seconds.

Oh I was so obsessed with my invention that I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Professor Van Herro. I have been working on this for 25 years. It took many failed attempts but I finally did it. 

This if I sold this could be worth billions of dollars! But I still need to hide how I do it because if it gets out to the public they could take it and I would be done for. Meanwhile in the SOS (Scientist of society). “Hello I am the owner of the SOS we have heard from an outside source that someone has made an electronic wheel. 

 The following account is from the perspective of a third person (a newspaper reporter):

Van Herro was on his way to the super store to get some dinner when he saw that someone was looking at him with a mysterious look. Van Herro was sceptical of this man but he was really hungry. He got some food then started going home and he saw the same man. He yelled at him and said “WHAT’S YOUR PROBLEM!” The man pulled out a gun and so did Van Herro they had a Mexican standoff. They started to slowly move back and then Van Herro fired a shot then bolted away.

He got home and realised that he needed to be careful and move away. He booked a flight for Uruguay the date 17th of march the flight is on the 23’d. He goes till the 22nd without going outside. He had to get some bread. He went to the supermarket to get it much to his surprise nobody tried to kill him. He woke up and packed the small wheel inside his bag and was going to sell it to Uruguay. He had plans to meet the president. 

He got to the airport and hopped on the plane. He was sitting on the plane for 12 hours. But he finally got there. He met up with the president or so he thought…

Thanks for reading my story.

Safety Rules

Hello everyone welcome back to my blog. 

Today I will be talking about safety RULES in the laboratory.  here are some rules.

1. Always wear your glasses during a practical 
2. Stand up during a practical
3. Do not eat or drink during a practical
4. No running in the lab 
5. Tie up long hair in a bobble 
6. When something gets broken, tell a teacher 
7.  Make sure equipment gets put away at the end of a practical. 

Thanks for reading my blog.

Skittle Observation

Hello everyone welcome to my blog.

I will be telling you about my skittle observation. This was second experiment of many to come. It was when you put skittles in hot water and the colours spreed out. I enjoys doing this experiment it was a blast to do here is a picture(its not my picture)

I also did a doc with the things that I saw happen. Here is what I wrote 

Skittle Observations

Instructions: 

 ¾ fill a petri dish with water. 

Carefully place 4 differently coloured skittles evenly spaced around the outside of the petri dish. 

Watch...

 

Observations

What things did you notice?  Can you make five observations?

  The colours did not overlap 

   They needed 3-5 seconds to start spreading the colours 

  On the bottom of the skittles there was a little bit of colour left in the middle.

  As soon as you pick it up the colours overlap and blend 

  it gave a nice smell 

Did anything surprise you?  What weren’t you expecting to observe?

Wonderings

What questions arose in your mind as you did this activity?

                                Would it work if you used other things with food colouring

 Do you have any ideas about why certain things happened?

             nope

 What could you do to see if your ideas are correct?

Test many times using the ideas

Thanks for reading my blog have a good day!

Here is my document 

Thank you for reading my blog. Who do you think are heroes?

Bunsen flames

 Hello everyone welcome to my blog.

We have been doing some science recently done some temperature studies. Our aim is to investigate which Bunsen burner flame heats water most quickly. We had 5 minutes with the Bunsen burner on then we had to checked temperature. I was in a group with my mate Tobey we did not have time to do the safety flame so we went straight to the blue flame. There is 2 averages in the class with the safety and blue flames. The average for the safety flame was a 28'c and the blue flame was 34'c. Here is my results in a table sadly I did not to the safety flame 

What flame	Start	Finish	Difference
Safety
Blue	22	84	62

We also had some questions to answer                                                                                                              Why do we need to make the test fair? So we can the best average possible                                                      What do we need to do to make the test fair? Start off on the same degree and on the same flame                

So in conclusion the hottest flame is the blue because it had the highest temperature  

Thanks for reading my blog.
