Today we made bread and tried to make a fizzy lemonade drink with our acids and bases. We finally got the recipe right for the last four kids who thought it was yum, everyone else, well I guess baking soda isn't your favourite taste. We all learn from our mistakes though!
Hi my name is Irirangi from Putaruru C2.
ReplyDeleteI was looking at your blog post about baking. The photos I looked at were very interesting and looked fun at the same time. Baking and also using chemical things is what I like to do. I really enjoyed looking at your photos.
Do you think you could explain more about mixing the base with the acid please.
From Irirangi
We added 1 tsp of baking soda to a jug of water, some food colouring and the juice of 6 lemons. Mixing an acid (lemon juice) and a base (baking soda) made a reaction which makes CO2 gas and is fizzy. Fun
DeleteHi Irirangi,
DeleteI have sent Mr Quinn the link for our fizzing and foaming science. We started by making sherbert in class. We like to do lots of science and cooking in our maths lessons. It gives us good problems to nut out. Here is the sherbert recipe for you to try. Jelly crystals work really well instead of raro.
