Making Sherbet

We need to write down our equipment and the steps we will go through to make our sherbet.

Once we have completed the materials and steps we can make sherbet.

While you are eating your sherbet you can answer the 5 questions at the end.

Equipment:

1. Sugar

2. Baking Soda

3. Raro Crystals

4. Cirtic Acid

5. Tartaric Acid

Steps

1. Add the baking soda sugar and citric acid together in a bowl.

2. Add the Raro crystals and tartaric acid together.

3. Add all ingredents together and place in a plastic bag.

4. Mix it well together and eat it. Yuck

Recipe:

1 teaspoon of powdered drink crystals (eg Raro)

1/4 teaspoon of citric acid

1 teaspoon of Icing Sugar

1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda.

Findings:

1. Which two ingredients in the sherbet are involved in the chemical reaction?

2. Which ingredients are not involved?

3. Can you think of any other chemical reactions that might happen in the kitchen?

4. Which ingredient is an acid?

5. Which ingredient is a base?

Acids and bases

Aim: To make red cabbage pH indicator for use on different household chemicals.

Red Cabbage Indicator experiment

Materials

1. Red Cabbage

2. Beaker

3. Bunsen Burner

4. Pipette

5. Sodium Hydroxide

6. Hydrochloric acid

7. Test tubes x5

8.  paper towels 
   

9. Test tube rack 

10. Water Steps

    1. Chop up the red cabbage into small pieces. Place in a beaker and cover with a small amount of water.

    2. Bring the solution to the boil using a bunsen burner and then turn off the heat. Let it sit to cool down.

    3. Pour the cabbage water through a paper towel into a beaker. The dark purple liquid in the jar is the pH indicator liquid.

    4. Suck up the indicator into a pipette.

    5. In a test tube, use the cabbage indicator and the pH chart below to test the acidity of the the hydrochloric acid and ammonium hydroxide.Findings.

       What is the pH of liquids.

       1. Sodium Hydroxide

       2. Hydrochloric acid

Science

 Bacteria 

Aim: To learn about bacteria and how they grow 

Equipment:

1. Agar dish

2. Cotton bud swab 

3. vivid pen 

Method: 

1 Collect the bacteria on cotton bud swab from taps, computer, keyboards or desk 

2. Divide the agar in half by drawing a line open the lid. 

3.wipe the swab onto the agar soloution.

4. Put the petri dish into the incubator for 1 week to allow the backteria to grow. 

5. Draw and label a bacteria 

6. Draw and label a scientific diagram of the experiment. 

Milk plastic 

Aim: Make milk into plastic 

Equipment 

Stove,oven, Microwave

Measuring cup 

Measuring spoon 

Milk 

pot or Container 

White vinegar 

paper towels

spoon

Mug

Food colouring,glitter, Cookie cutters 

Method:

1. Pour 1  cup of milk into a pot or microwaveable container  

2. Heat the milk in the microwave or the stove until it is steaming 

3. Add 4 teaspoons of white vinegar to a mug 

4. Add the hot milk to the mug with the vinegar 

5. scoop out the curds with a spoon and place them on a paper towel 

6. Fold the paper towel over the curds and press down to absorb excess liquid 

7. knead all the curds together into a ball of dough

8. You can colour your dough with food colouring 

9. You can add glitter to make
the dough sparkle 

10. You can use cookie cutters to shape your dough

11. Put all creations on a paper towel and let them dry overnight 

How did the consistency of the milk change during the plastic-making process?
it was normal milk until it curled.
