pH Colours

 Aim:

I want to find out what the colours of pH are.

Research

Method:

Equipment

• Acid - Hydrochloric Acid
• Base - Sodium Hydroxide
• Test tube rack with test tubes
• Universal indicator

Instructions

1. Get your equipmeant
2. Put ten drips of universal indicator into the test tube
3. Add diffrent amounts of acid and base into the test tube
4. Watch what happens to the colour

Result:

(Not my picture but similar to what we did)

Disscusion:

1. What is an acid?

An acid is a chemical. It is any substance that in water changes ur taste. For example sour, changes blue litmus paper to red, reacts with some metals to liberate hydrogen, reacts with bases to form salts, and promotes chemical reactions (acid lists).

2. " " a base

3.What happens when you react an acid and a base?

The reaction of an acid and a base is called a neurtalization reaction. 

4. How do you measure acid levels?

You measure acid levels with pH. The range goes from 0 - 14 and 7 is the neutral.  Anything below 7 is acid and anything above 7 is base.

5. What are the pH colours?

Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet

7. Observe what happens
8. Measure the length of the foam that comes out. (For my class)
9. Repeat this with 3 other bottles of different fizzy.(For my class)
10. Compare them the other lengths to each other(FOR CLASS)

Results

	Coke	Coke(No Sugar)	Sprite
Height of Bubbles	68mL	55mL	50mL

Discussion:

Why did the bubbles form?

The rock surface on the outside of the mentos causes the fixxy to fizz.

Skittle Colours

Aim:

I want to find out what happens when you put skittles in water.

Method:

Equipment

• 8x Skittles
• Warm water
• Petri Dish
• Beaker
• Paper towel

Instructions

1. Get your equipment
2. Put the skittles into the petri dish
3. Spread the skittles out around the sides of the petri dish
4. Don't need to but (Do not put the same coloured skittle next to each other (?)
5. Clean the beaker with the paper towel 
6. Place the used paper towel on the table
7. Carefully place the petri dish on top of the paper towel.
8. GENTLY pour the water in the middle of the petri dish until it is half full
9. Observe what happens

Results:

Describe what happened

The colour on the skittles in the petri dish slowly dissolved heading towards the middle colouring the water. The colours were separated which made it look like a pattern.

Why did the colour move the way it did?

Because of the shape of the skittle.When sugar is moved into water it heads towards the middle. The colour comes out of the skittle and slowly spread out.

Gummy Bear Osmosis

 Aim:

I want to find out what happens when gummy bears are put in liquids.

Method:

Equipment

• Salt Water/Sodium Chloride
• Normal Water
• Sugar Water/Sucrose
• Gummy Bears
• 2x Petri dishes
• Marker
• Electronic Scales 
• Safety Glasses

Instructions

1. Get your Equipment
2. Wear your safety glasses (IT IS A PRINCIPAL in the science lab).
3. With the marker, write your name and the conditions (dry, water, saltwater, sugar water) and the weight of gummy bears on the bottom of Petri dishes
4. Do the experiment.

Results:

	Dry Gummy	Sugar Gummy	Water Gummy	Salty Gummy
Initial Weight (g)	2.03	2.16	2.8	2.13
Final Weight (g)	2.13g	4.53	8.4	4.27
Difference	Gain 0.10g	Gain 2.37g	Gain 6.32g	Gain 2.14g

The water gummy weighs the most weight.

Why? The reason why is because gummy bears have small holes inside them. In water there are small molecules and Sugar/salt water have big molecules. Since gummy bears have quite small holes more little water molecules can come in and can expand. Sugar and salt water aren't able to do that because of their big molecules only a few could make it inside but they get clogged.

If not because the gummy bear absorbs the water.

I saw... the fire emerge and disappear. It was bright red and yellowy orange. It went straight up and dissipated when I put my hands out.

I heard... other people being loud and somehow the sound of the fire getting burned.

I smelt...the heat from the fire. It smelt burnt and gassy. Even when the fire went away the smell remained.

I felt... excited and nervous. My heart was beating so fast. It was great and so much fun.
