Energy Transformation Experiment

 1.Chemical + Electrical = A Phone

2. Light + Chemical  = Flashlight

3.Kinetic + Light = Car

Aim: To make a marsgmallow shooter that transfroms energy

Equipment :

1.Platic Cup

2.Marshmallow

3.Tape

4.Balloon

5.Scissor

Method:

1.Cut a hole in the  bottom of the cup

2.Insert the balloon at the bottom 

3.Then tape it around the balloon

4.Tie the ballon after that

5.Put the marshmallow in

6. Shoot your shot

Conclusion:I didnt get to do anything because I went student reception and when I got back its time to pack up.

Energy

 Definition: Stored in an object, the ability to move something.


Diffrent kinds of energy.

- Light energy = The energy of the electromagnetic waves. Found in all Micowaves , Xrays and visble light. (flash light , candle)

- Heat enery = caused by the movement of particles. Found in all hot objects (  solar system , Heat energy)

-Sound energy =  Energy produced by vibrating objects. Examples are speech,ultrasound and music. ( solar , wind)

-Chemical potential energy = Energy stored in the bonds between particales. found in substances petrol and food. ( food , batteries)

-Electrical energy = the movement of electrically charge particles. found in wires generators and lighting.(Direct current , lighting)

-Gravitational potential energy   = Energy stored in objects due to their height above the  ground. (Airplan , Rocket)

-Kinetic energy = Energy due to the motion of an object. eg. moving cars, running, swimming

-Elastic pontentail energy = Energy stored in stretched or sqauashed objects. Examples are springs and rubber bands.

Science

Today We did an experiment about how tea bag can fly when you light it.

Aim :  To obeserve convection in real life 

Method:
We went and got all of our equipment. Then we started off with cutting the tea bag.Then we tipped out the inside.And went place it on the heat mat. We lighted up and it flew everywhere.

Yes it was fun because I didnt know tea bag can fly when you lighted up

Equipment:
Match 
Lighter
Heat mat
Scissors
Tea Bag

Cheese puffs

ngredients :
2 cups of flower
6 T baking powder
4 cups cheese - grated
2 eggs
1 cup of milk
Cayenne pepper - pinch

Method:
Sift flour and baking powder into a large bowl
Add grated cheese and mix lightly with a fork
Put eggs in to a small bowl and whisk
Add milk and whisk again
Combine both wet and dry ingredients together. But, Don't over mix
Put even sizes spoonful of the mixture onto a baking paper on 2 trays
Put oven on fan bake at 200 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes
Check if there light and golden and well risen

Today in food we made cheese puffs. I was a bit late to class so I didn't get to see how it was made. Although. I came just in time for putting the mixture in its tray and we waited until its cook. After we waited 10 minutes for it to be crispy golden brown. We took it out. I tried half of it and I didnt like it and I'm assuming its something new that I've taste.Thats why it tasted a bit gross. Even though it tastes a bit gross it still smells very flavourful and mouth watering

Chemical and chaos

Evaportation Experiment

Intro : We have been learing about distillation , evaportation , and dilutions.
Evaporatain is when liquid to gas.

Aim: To evaporate cooper sulfate (sulfur oxygen) - ( Blue Liquid )

Hypothsis:

Equipment: copper sulfate solution, 250ml beaker, heat proof mat, evaprorating basin, element

Method:
1. Set up element
2. add 100ml of hot water to the beaker and place on the element.
3.Add copper sulfate to the evaporating basin on top of the beaker.
4.carefully, place the evaporating basin on top of the beaker.
5.Turn on the element to 3
6.Heat the solution until most of the solvent has been evaporated and crystals of solute are forming.
7. Turn off the element - careful not to touch as will be hot for a long time

Solute = Solid
Solvent = Liquid
solution = Mixturez

Oberservations: we saw bubble inside the water
Conclutions: My Hypothsis was right because we saw steam coming out of the water.
