Scientific Investigation

Today for science we made a scientific Investigation about candy and guessing.

The question was: Can I tell the flavour of a candy piece if I can't see it.

My prediction was: I will be able to get at least one guess right with guessing.

The materials I used were:  Candy pieces, A person, A piece of paper to put answers in, a blindfold.

Method:

1. Grab materials

2. Make a table on the piece of paper, write the guess, if you got it right or wrong, Taste, notes, and after you guess the colour and name of the flavour. 

3. Close your eyes and grab a piece of candy, take a first guess and keep your eyes closed.

4. Take a bite and take a final guess of the flavour. 

5. See if you got it right and right it down, carry on until you finish eating.

6. Write a conclusion

My conclusion: I found out that I had only gotten one wrong which is an achievement. It is just a game of luck and guess, you never know what it could be until you take a bite.

Skittles Experiment

Method:

1. 1/2 fill a petri dish with water

2. Carefully place 4 different coloured skittles evenly spaced around the outside of the petri dish.

Hypothesis: I think that the water will dilute the Skittles and the colouring will start to come towards the middle.

Scientific Reasoning: 
The skittles are made of sugar and food colouring. As the Sugar dissolves the food colouring moves over the water with sugar  until it cannot move any further because of the other colours

1.What questions arose in your mind as you did the activity?
How does this work?
Why do the skittles dilute from water?

2. what could you do to see if your ideas are correct?
 Test it out.


Conclusion:
The water diluted the skittles and the colour started coming out and spreading.

Homework.

These few weeks Whaea Mel gave us our terms worth of homework. we had nine different tasks to do for each week. For the first week I did a mindmup challenge with was to explain how my family manages stress. 

The second week I made a alternative piece of candy that had no sugar. It is called Watermelon and Strawberry Lychee Drops. We were asked to explain what our inspiration was. 

This week I was doing doing the sleeping chart. For the sleeping chart you have to record you sleeping times and see which one is the best. I haven't finished it yet but once I have I will decorate it and make it look good.

Here are the finished and almost finished pieces of work I have completed.

I hope you enjoyed looking at my homework because I am very proud of it. Feel free to comment what you think about my homework.
