Science Experiment Explanation.

LAB-12 Science Experiment #6 - Vinegar Volcano.



Scientists at LAB-12 have been conducting experiments on wacky stuff like quicksand and chemical reactions. The experiment Scientist Adam and his partners did was on chemical reactions to Baking Soda mixed with Vinegar to make a Volcano.

The volcano was made by combining certain ingredients into a container to create the result we wanted which turned into a bubbly mess when put into different containers.


The End Result
IMG_0288.JPGOur end result was a bubble like fizz result which smelled, weird… We also touched our result and we found out that some of the baking soda hasn't even dissolved into the result yet which still leaves some of the baking soda left.


Different Sizes, Different Results
As we said earlier, when we tried different containers, we got different results like overflowing which did happen when we tried a little container which was supposed to hold our baking soda. And let me tell you, it was a pretty messy experience.



What causes this?
When the vinegar collides with the baking soda, both of them react to form gases of carbon dioxide, then it rises to the surface like how it does in beverages like soda.


How we do it / How to do it.
You will need the following items to do this experiment.

  1. A container which can hold a considerable amount of baking soda and vinegar.
  2. The amount of baking soda you're using.
  3. The amount of vinegar you're using.

Now, these are the instructions for the experiment.

  1. Pour the baking soda into the container.
  2. Pour the vinegar into the container.
  3. Watch it overflow, fizz or blow!


So, I think everybody in LAB-12 had a fun time doing their lab experiments. Now, if you excuse me, I have to go clean up the baking soda and vinegar me and my fellow scientists made.


Glossary

Fizz - Something that bubbles up from a chemical reaction.
Vinegar - A liquid ingredient that can be used for many dishes and scientific experiments.
Volcano - Something that can hold a liquid like lava and can heat it up to high temperatures.
Baking Soda - A solid ingredient that can be used for many dishes and scientific experiments.

Polar Bear Summarising


Our task was to summarise a paragraph from a Polar Bear article. I decided to do an article on Polar Bears and them being in their dens and how Polar Bears operate them. We also had to share what we learnt via Learn Create And Share. So that's I did with my google slide.

My Falling For Foreshortening Art Piece


Falling for Foreshortening

We had a task to make an artpiece that looks like our arms and legs are coming straight forwards to us like their doing a staple into the pool. I think my final piece looks really good and really majestic, check it out for yourself and be amazed by my amazing artwork!

  • Know the main road rules
  • Read and understand road signs
  • Identify and anticipate hazards
  • Wear a helmet correctly
  • Carry out a bike check correctly
  • Ride a bike safely and with control around a course (and on the road)
  • Know what clothing to wear
  • Can break appropriately and safely
  • Make sure the stand is up securely on the bike
  • Stay on the left hand side or cycle lane on the road
  • Be responsible on the road/course
  • Be mindful of others
  • Always check behind you
  • Keep an eye out for parked cars, drivers sitting in their cars that may open their doors
  • Know how to change a flat tyre
  • Carry a repair kit
