Ballon madness

 

We used a balloon, bottle, vinegar, measuring cup and a table spoon for this science experiment.

We used the funnel and added a tablespoon or two of baking soda into the balloon. Wipe any baking

soda from the funnel and place it into the bottle. Pour about a half a cup of vinegar into the bottle.

Fit the balloon over the opening of the bottle making sure no baking soda falls inside.

Now lift the balloon and let the baking soda fall and mix with the vinegar.

When vinegar and baking soda mix, an endothermic reaction occurs. This produces carbon

dioxide which inflates the balloon. The endothermic chemical reaction will also lower the

temperature in the area surrounding the vinegar and baking soda so significantly that you will

be able to easily notice the change in temperature.

I found it easy to watch this observation because in general all I needed to do is watch and learn.

I found it hard to understand the first half because the fact that it was a little over complicated.

Next time I will try to do this at home or even do some tweaking to it.

Action and reaction.

Last week our school science electives put our science hats on and learnt about action and reaction,we learnt that in every action there is an equal reaction. We used a balloon, string, tape and a paper straw to demonstrate this law of physics.

We cut the paper straw into small pieces and used one to slide on the string.Then we blew up the balloon and taped it onto the paper straw. We had our teammate Eria holding one end while Ruby was holding the ballonI was on the other side of the string holding it. Ruby let go of the balloon and it shot off to me and stopped.

When we release the balloon, the pressurized air in the balloon pushes against the air around the balloon sending it in the opposite direction down the string.

I found it easy to assemble the task because it is very simple and the names of the tools aren't too long for me.

I found it hard to understand the physics at first because there was a lot behind it but now it's a little bit easier.

Next time I will try different approaches like changing the tool brands or use more or less.

I am Vinny.

I wonder if it's true that in WW2 the natzis played soccer.

I hear mellow chirps from birds.

I see the lovely linen land.

I want a car.

I pretend nothing.

I feel the roughness in my hands.

I touch the soft grass.

I worry that I'll crash my go kart.

I cry when I'm hurt.

I understand Maths,Reading and what's in a car.

I say things that encourage.

I dream that I was on a boat.

I hope for the best.

Lava lamps

To start off with the lava lamp, know the oil in the lava lamp stays above the water because the oil is lighter than the water or, more specifically, less dense than water. The oil and water do not mix because of something called “intermolecular polarity.” Molecular polarity basically means that water molecules are attracted to other water molecules. They get along fine, and can loosely bond together (drops.) This is similar to magnets that are attracted to each other. Oil molecules are attracted to other oil molecules, they get along fine as well. But the structures of the two molecules do not allow them to bond together.

When we added the tablet it sank to the bottom and started dissolving and creating a gas. As the gas bubbles it rose

and they took some of the colored water with them. When the blob of water reached the top, the gas escaped and down

went into the water.

I found it easy to understand the physics of the lava lamp because we had it explained well your teacher.

I found it hard to remember what order the ingredients because the fact that there was quite a lot of ingredients.

Next time I will try harder, do things faster and try to make one at home.
