This week for Science, we have been working on food and digestion. Our first experiment was about how to figure out if something has simple sugar inside of it. The test is called Benedict's Test
Aim: To Test a sample of food to determine whether it contains simple sugars
Equipment: Bunsen Burner, Test tube tongs, Benedict's Solution, A sample of food.
Method:
1. Place about 2 mL of the sample into a test tube and then add 5 drops of benedict's Solution.
2. Heat with a bunsen burner until it changes colour, do not boil.
Conclusion: The colour of the liquid changed from blue to an orangy red hue. The sample we used was an apple.
