Boiling Water

Boiling water

Aim: 

At school to day I am going to test out how long it takes to boil water. I put a stopwatch on.To make this happen,

Method:

You will need : A pot. a bunsen burner, heat mat, and a tripod. If you are making it in a beaker you will need the same things but you will need one extra thing a, Gauze mat. I tried with one cup of water so it wouldn't take as long. When I wrote this it wasn't even near boiling but it wasn't going to be far off.But it has been on the heat for 18m and 30secs.

Findings: 

The final time it took to boil:40mins

Sherbet

Sherbet

1 cup Icing Sugar

2 Tbsp of powdered drink crystals (e.g. Refresh)

1 1/2 tsp citric acid

1 1/2 tsp tartaric acid

1 tsp baking soda

6 lollipops

Method: Put all ingredients, except the lollipops, into a bowl and mix thoroughly. Spoon into little cellophane bags, insert a lollipop in each bag and seal securely.

To eat, lick the lollipop and dip it into the sherbet.

When you put the sherbet on your tongue, the saliva in your mouth causes the citric acid crystals to dissolve. The citric acid reacts with the bicarbonate of soda and produces carbon dioxide gas. ... You Could end up with a lot of carbon dioxide in your stomach, which could be uncomfortable!

Hokey pokey disappointment

Hokey pokey and what happened. So it didn't work out we tried to to do it in 5 minutes but it was grainy. We accidentally doubled the mixture so it would of taken 10 minutes to devolve. The baking soda was doubled up and it still didn't foam up it was quite a disappointment. It was a lesson for next time I am making it again on Wednesday hopefully it works out well.
Thank you
