Hokey Pokey

 

Making Hokey Pokey

Aim: To make hokey pokey using sugar, golden syrup and baking soda.

When the sugar and golden syrup combine with the baking soda it froths and makes carbon dioaoxide gas. That is why the hokey pokey has bubbles.

Materials:

1. 2 tablespoons Golden Syrup
2. 4 tablespoons sugar
3. 1 Heaped teaspoon of baking soda
4. Pot
5. Tablespoon and teaspoon
6. Bunsen burner
7. Grease proof paper

Method:

1. Put 4 tablespoons of sugar and 2 tablespoons of golden syrup in a saucepan and melt.
2. Bring to the boil and simmer gently for 5 minutes
3. Add baking soda and stir vigorously.
4. Put the hokey pokey on a piece of grease prove paper to to cool.

The more the sugar syrup is cooked the browner it becomes. If it is left cooking for to long your hokey pokey becomes burnt.

Diary of a Wild boy

Diary of a wild boy 

• Brando walked around the coastline of New Zealand to be the first NZer to walk around the coastline.

• He carried a knife, boots, Tent, Bed, Belt, Backpack.

• This walk was 600 Days 

• He ate Delicious Bacon from big fat pig, seafood 

One of the challenges that he faced was a bull, a very hungry bull that hadn't eaten in days… The bull charged so he had to think fast. He had to use the surroundings. There was a tree to his left and a wharf to his right. Just before the bull was in range of contact then he jumps to the right dodging the bull and then the bull rips the life out of the tree. 

• His favourite part of the journey was the kahurangi coast. Also was one of the scariest. To see the beautiful tropical rain forest, and also the giant seafood. 

Tell us about Brando’s Canterbury companion. Tash was a girl that he had been talking to before his adventure across NZ. And through the journey they met and she walked around Waikato with him.

• The trip taught Brando that no matter what he thinks he can’t do he will be able to achieve it.

Neutralisation Experiment

 Acid + Alkaline (Base)= Water and Salt  

Equipment:

1. Universal Indicator
2. 1 M HCl ( Hydrochloric Acid)
3. 1 M NaOH (Sodium Hydroxide)
4. 4 Test tubes
5. Test tube rack
6. 2 plastic pipettes

Method:

1. Take a test tube rack with 1 boiling tube at each end of the rack and 4 test tubes.
2. Half Fill the boiling tube at one end with Sodium Hydroxide.
3. Half fill the boiling tube at the other end with Hydrochloric acid.
4. Fill each test tube with 5 drops of Universal indicator.
5. Using the pipettes you will add drops of the acid or alkaline to the test tubes to make colours. DO NOT MIX UP THE PIPETTES

Challenge:

1. To use the acids and alkalines to make the colours of the pH Scale.
2. Out of the 6 test tubes you should have the order of Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet.

Once you have completed this you need to take a photo of your test tube rack and put it on your blog.

Litmus Paper

Litmus is a tree lichen fungi and is made into small paper strips or a liquid for testing acids or alkalines.
Blue Litmus paper determines if something is acidic. It turns red in solutions with a pH less than 7.

2 Red Litmus paper determines if something is alkaline. It turns blue in solutions with a pH greater than 7.

Materials:

1Red Litmus paper

2Blue Litmus paper

3Sodium Hydroxide

4Hydrochloric acid

5 Pipette

6 4 Test tubes

Steps

1 Rip the litmus paper in half and put half in each test tube.

2 Add 3 drops of hydrochloric acid to the blue litmus paper in test tube 1.

3 Add 3 drops of hydrochloric acid to the red litmus paper in test tube 2.

4 Add 3 drop of Sodium Hydroxide to the blue litmus paper in test tube 3.

5 Add 3 drops of Sodium Hydroxide to the red litmus paper in test tube 4.

Red Cabbage Indicator Experiment

Red Cabbage Indicator Experiment 

1. Red Cabbage
2. Beaker
3. Bunsen Burner
4. Pipette
5. Sodium Hydroxide
6. Hydrochloric acid
7. Test Tubes
8. Paper towel
9. Test tube rack
10. Water

Steps

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

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

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

3. Suck up the indicator into a pipette.

4. Use the cabbage indicator to test the acidity of the different household liquids by slowly putting a drop at a time into the test tube.
