The Scientific Method

The Scientific Method
Aim To compare the boiling point of tap water and salt water.
Hypothesis I think that salt water.
Equipment
150 mls tap water ( two)
salt (2 tsps)
2 beakers
Bunsen Burner
Safety glasses
Bunsen Burner tripod
Heat resistance mat
Gauze Mat
Thermometer
Method
1. Is to collect equipment
2. Attach Bunsen burner to gas tap
3. Fill up both beakers with water.
4. Add salt to one beaker and mix.
5. Place the beaker with tap water on the tripod.
6. Place the Bunsen burner on the heat mat underneath.
7. light the Bunsen burner and adjust the flame to blue.
8. as it heats up place the thermometer in the beaker of the water until it is boiling.
9. Record the temperature on your blog.
10. Repeat the process for the salt water.

Findings Boiling point

Tap water`cx=102

Salt water = 105 - 110

The Color of The Flame

The Color of The Flame
Today we had science YAY.

Today we were learning and using the Bunsen Burner.

We had to learn the safety rules first though obviously.

1. The location of the lab fire extinguisher and safety blanket is known.

2. Safety glasses were worn.

3. Long hair was tied back and loose items of clothing tucked away.

4. The Bunsen Burner was placed on a heat resistance surface. 

5. The Bunsen Burner is not too close to the edge of the desk.

6. The burner was connected to the gas tap correctly.

7. The rubber tubing was checked for cracks or leaks. 

8. The air hole on the Bunsen burner was closed before lighting.

9. The splint was lit before the gas was turned on.

10. The splint was positioned correctly while the gas was turned on.

11. The student can adjust the flame safely.

So after all that we could get started.

When we were using the Bunsen burner we had to make the different color flames e.g a blue to green flame. At the end we got a Bunsen Burner licence.
I liked using the Bunsen burner because i had never used one before. My favorite part was getting to see the flames change there color.

This is a photo of the types of flames we had to make.

Hands On Fire

hands on fire
Hands On Fire
HANDS ON FIRE!!!

Aim: I want to  be safety able to set myself on fire.


Equipment
Water
soap
lighter
Safety glasses
lab coat

Method 
1. Be safe
2. wet your hands writs and forearms. 
3. Grab a scoop of bubbles.
4. Hold the bubbles up in front of your face, as far away from you as you can. Lock your elbows.
5. To get rid of fire, SLOWLY move your hands a part.
6.  DO NOT DROP YOUR HANDS BELOW YOUR EYE LEVEL because fire goes up and you will set yourself on fire.

Results 
The results are the when peoples hands are being set on fire people tend to drop there hands down.

Dry Ice and Water

Dry Ice and Water

Aim: To watch dry ice and water mix to make coloured bubbles.

Equipment

1 Dry Ice

2 80mls water

3 There drops food colouring

4 Detergent

5 measuring beaker.

6 ice cream container 

and most importantly safety glasses 

Which gas is heaviest?

Aim: To find our which gas is the heaviest out of C02 and O2.

Equipment

1 Test Tube

2 Test tube rack

3 Dry ice

4 Water

5 Two Balloons 

The heavier one was the C02

Science Experiment

We have been doing science experiment and one of them is moving milk.

• First step get a bowl of milk 
• Next step put drops of food colouring in the bowl of milk
• Next put some dish washer 

             Your milk will move when you put the dishwasher  in and It                                        looks so cool .
Here is an example using blue milk Blue milk
