Milk, Detergent & Food Colouring Mashup

In science we observed items when 2 (or more) substances are mixed together.

Items needed -

> Plastic Container/Dish

> 50 ml Detergent

> 200 ml Milk (with fat)

> Eyedropper

> 4 Different Colour Food Colouring

Method -

1. Pour milk into plastic dishDrop 3-5 drops different food colouring onto each corner on dish using eye dropper
2. Clean inside of eye dropper or use spare
3. Drop 3 drops detergent on middle of milk
4. Observe what happens next

What really happened? -

In the detergent, it is made up of certain chemicals that cut up fat. When the detergent is in the milk it starts to create a small spiral-like ripple that is not visible to the eye since the milk is pure white. When food colouring is added, it can show what happens in the milk when the fat is being cut up.

For R.E, we have been learning about values & how we can relate them to scripture references. We have also learnt about God's creations & how it is graced by him.

Propagation Of Plants

WALHT - Understand that listening and following instructions helps us to carry out a investigation in science

A Strawberry Plant & A Runner

What is propagation?

The growth/creation of a new plant taken from a: bulb, cutting, seeds etc.

Example of propagation -

Garlic -

> Peel whole garlic and separate pieces.

> Place approximately 3 in small container

> Pour small amount of water - shallow
> Wait 1 - 2 weeks

> Remove garlic with no roots

> Plant Garlic in fairly large container (Or wait few more days for roots to lengthen)

What is stagnate & stagnant?

Stagnant -

Water cannot flow and is dirty and smelly

Stagnate -

When water stagnates, it changes colour, and becomes stale and often smelly

Experiment - Do roots have hairs?

Equipment -

> Bottom half of a transparent plastic water bottle

> Tape

> Approximately 2 - 3 Blotting paper (Paper Towel)

> Cress/Alfalfa seeds

> Approximately ⅔  cup of water

Hypothesis -

I think that the seeds in the middle of the blotting paper will survive since it doesn’t get too much water or sunlight and is not on top of the cold/hot temperature. However, I might be wrong because it seems like there is not enough space in the middle for the plant to grow.

What we did -

Day 1 -

The seeds are giving off a yellow ‘liquid’ and the water stinks. Kevin’s stagnant water is attracting an interested mosquito.

Day 2 - A couple of Alfalfa seed sprouts are starting to spring up. Thankfully, the mosquito has gone off somewhere else. No change of the current smell yet.

Day 3 - The seeds are growing rapidly. A bottom pocket seems to be crowded in roots & stalks.

Day 4, 5 & 6 - Stalks & leaves growing.

More Than a Mountaineer

Walht - combine close reading and inference skills to analyse text to learn more about the qualities of people known as heroes or leaders.

Picture of Edmund Hillary

Edmund Hillary, his recognition is commonly known for his success of climbing Mount Everest, but there were more things about him than being a mountaineer.

Believing in helping those in need, his compassion for the children in their lack of education encouraged him to support them. This can be recognised in the way he used his fame to get financial support for the needs he had seen for the people of the village.

  He was a person who stood up for the people of the Himalayan village in Nepal. This was displayed  when he had risen enough money and funds from global donations to build them a school, hospitals, clinics, an airfield and bridges resulting from found the Himalayan Trust which became a charity foundation with the assistance of the village.

  Being an inspirational mountaineer & leader to others and the present people in the Himalayan village can easily entitle him as a charitable hero and representative.
