Gummy Bears Osmosis - Science

 Hello,

Gummy Bear Osmosis

Aim:

I want to find out what happens to Gummy Bears when we put them into different liquids.

Hypothesis

I think that my Gummy Bear will expand its size and become slimy. The weigh of my Gummy Bear was originally 2.35g  

Method:

  • Three Solutions - water, sugar and salt
  • Four Gummy Bears of the same colour
  • Two Petri Dishes
  • Marker pen
  • Electronic Balance
  • Measuring Cylinder
  • Beaker
Steps
  1. Get your equipment
  2. Label Petri Dishes with DRY, WATER, SALT WATER, SUGAR WATER.
  3. Weigh the Gummy Bears and record their weight on the Petri Dish
  4. Add 40mL of the soloution into the Petri dish.

Solvent

Dry

Wet

Water

2.45

2.45 (still the same)

Salt Water

2.36

2.74

Sugar Water

2.91


Findings 


My gummy bear didn’t expand as much as the other ones because I didn’t put enough sugar water but it it got a bit bigger

Late Pink Shirt Day

 Hey Readers,

This week we have been colouring in some Pink shirts for Pink Shirt Day. I sketched it again because  I didn't like my design. I did the back as well because Mrs C told us so it would look finished and because shirts have a back. I took it home and coloured it in it was pretty fun. Has your school ever talked about bullying?

Drama - Paper Masks

In drama we are making masks out off paper, Mrs C had some cool examples of already made masks, I decided of like a butterfly kind of shape on top off the eyes, here are 3 pictures of masks I liked, but they are quite tricky so I'm trying to put together the mask I already started in Drama, when I finish my mask I'll do a post about it, and explain more about it. Have you ever made a mask in school?

Parihaka

 Dear Readers,

Today's Blog is about Parihaka, something we've been working on in class last week.

Information I studied about Parihaka included Goverment troops foreign maori who were protesting peacefully in a effort to save their land) off their land in the 1860's. The white feather of the albatross became a symbol of their protest.

Here are some images to illustrate my work. I hope you like them and also my content. Please leave a comment that will hopefully encourage me to continue Blogging and make improvements where necessary.
