SCIENCE

Today at science we did a three experiments. Our first experiment was we had to put the sugar in the baking oil our prediction was that it would dissolve but instead the sugar chunked up. That was a really fun experiment and I was surprised with the end result.

 

The second experiment that my group did was vinegar and colored sugar. My hypothesis for that was: if we mix the vinegar and the colored sugar then the colored sugar will dissolve and the vinegar will turn red. My hypothesis was correct the vinegar turned red and the sugar dissolved. In this experiment the vinegar was the solvent and the colored sugar was the solute.

 

The last experiment that my group did was water and colored sugar. My hypothesis for that was the sugar would dissolve and water would turn red. My hypothesis was partly correct the water turned red but only some of the sugar dissolved. I wonder if over time it would completely dissolve. In this experiment the water was the solvent and the colored sugar was the solute.

Science Stations

For science my group is Andrew, Sophie and Nicole. We are working on a mixtures unit. So far are group has done a lot and taken a lot of notes, pictures and videos. We are putting all of are work in a drive folder. We also finished all of the stations and learned a lot.

Recycling

Today in class I learned about recycling. Mrs Boyer’s friend Monica came in and taught us about recycling. I learned its not easy and with everything humans use you can’t recycle everything but when it does you first organize in to categories then they get reused. That goes on and on until you cant use it anymore.

Date Controlled Observation Manipulated Observation
5/5 Today my plant is the first one to pop out from the top it grew a lot last night. It is almost 1 inch tall. Today my plant went to the top when my table watered it because it is in baking soda.
5/8 Today my plant has grown a lot and it is 1 inch tall. Today my plant is on the top again.
5/9 Today my plant grew ⅓ of a inch Today nothing has changed I think my plant is dead. My estimate was right that it died.
5/11 Today some new leaves sprouted and I see the roots. My plant is dead!
5/12 The new leaves are huge. My plant is dead!
5/18 I see flowers. They are yellow and I pollinated. My plant is dead!
5/26 My plant is withering so the pods can come in. My plant is dead!
6/1 My pods are getting bigger The diet coke is the only one alive maybe it will never have buds.
