Today we looked at the SLJ blog and we got told to colour in a only picture of the options that there were I coloured in about 3 drawings, we are having a competition of who's drawing is the best the one i'm choosing to submit this one because it was one of the best ones I made, it was pretty easy to colour in I thought it would've been harder since it was online but it was pretty easy to work with and much easier than colouring in with pencils.

B&E
Hello,
This term we're working on our business and enterprise kete, we did this last year it was fun making and selling our products, my group last year made scrunchies we made about 80 of them since they we're really easy to make, this year my group is doing clay jewellery which seems pretty challenging and fun to make, we have to make everything like a business our plan our goal and we have a amount of money to buy our supplies to make money out of them, hopefully this year will be as fun as it was last year.
These are some ideas for our products.
Red Cabbage Indictator
Experiment: Red Cabbage indicator.
Red Cabbage
Knife
Bunsen Burner
Beaker
Water
Cut the cabbage into small pieces.
Place the cabbage in the beaker and fill it with 50 ml of water.
Once the cabbage has boiled for 2 minutes turn it off and leave it to cool down.
Once it has cooled remove the cabbage leaves and use the red water as an indicator.
Complete the quiz below:
The ph scale ranges from what numbers? 0-14
Name 4 substances that are acidic? Water, Stomach Acid, Lemon and Vinegar
Name 4 substances that are basic? Bleach, Drain Cleaner, Soap and Ammonia
Name another pH indicator used in a science lab? Litmus Paper
By using red cabbage as an indicator we can determine what the pH level is of substances.
