Skittle art!

 Kia ora.

Today we are doing science and in science we are doing skittle art.

Aim: To use water to extract the dye from skittles using the process of chromatography.

Materials: 

1. Water.

2. Five skittles.

3.  Petri dish.

4. Beaker.

Process: 

Step 1. Place the skittles into the petri dish around the edges.

Step  2. Pour 50ml water gently into the middle of the petri dish.

Step 3. watch to see how fast the dye moves

Findings:

Colour	Tally	Number
Green		0
Yellow	I	1
Red	l l l l l l	6
Purple	I l	2
Orange	I	1

Chromatography

 Kia ora.

Aim: Is to separate colours by using the processes of Chromatography.

Materials: 

1. Paper strip (Chromatography paper).

2. Felt pens

3. Ruler

4. Water 

5. Test tube rack 

First we get paper strips and measure 1 Cm then draw a reasonable sized dot on the paper next we get a test tube and fill the bottom with water now put the test tube in a test tube rack and put half of the dot in the water fold the top of the paper over the edge of the test tube and watch it expand.

The colour that changed the most was Blue .

I can see nine new colours.

The colour that travelled the furthest was Blue.

Using a Bunsen burner

 Aim: To demonstrate how to heat a liquid inside a test tube.

Equipment: Bunsen Burner, Heatproof mat, Lighter, Test tube tongs, Safety glasses.

Method:

1. Light the Bunsen burner.

2. Fill your test tube to approximately 5ml water.

3. Turn the collar at the Bunsen so it is a blue  flame 

 4. Holding the test tube tongs, Tilt the test tube on a 45 degree angle and place the bottom of the test tube into the flame ensure that the mouth  of the rest tube is not pointing towards anyone.

5. Gently wave the test tube in and out of the flame, Remember you are trying to heat the liquid gently.

6. Once the water starts to gently bubble, Take it away from the flame. Carefully pour the hot water into the sink.

Music

Today we got to listen to songs and these are some of my favourites:

T.N.T

I put T.N.T because i grew up with it  and my mum LOVES ACDC
