Skittle expirement

Aim: To separate colors by using the process of chromatography.

Materials;

1. Petrie dish 

 

2. Water
3. Skittles
4. Petrie tray 
5. Jug 


Process
Step 1: Grab your petrie dish and place it on a flat surface

Step 2: Get your skittles and place them in your petrie dish.In 5 equal parts.

Step 3:Get your water and pour it over your skittles so its just covering them.

Step 4:Wait until the skittles are dissolved


Findings: Write about what happened. The colors and how they fade into each other.

Reflection: What have I learnt from this experiment? That the colors do not join straight away.

What did the colors do ? They did not mix at first but if you bumped them they would mix.

Did the colors mix together ? If you bumped them.

Why or why not ? Because they got bumped and they did not because the water was still.

Rainbow Paper

Aim: To separate colours by using the process of chromatography.

Definition: A technique for separating the different parts of a mixture / solid using liquid.

Rainbow paper

Materials;

1. Felt Pens

2. Ruler

3. Pencil

4. Liquid

5. Container

6. Tissue Paper

Process:

Step 1:Rule the tissue paper. 2 cm from the top and 1 cm from the bottom

Step 2:Pencil line the marks.

Step 3:Add dots out of the 3 felt colors on the pencil line of 1 cm  

Step 4:Then fold the Tissue paper on the 2 cm line. 

Step 5:Then place the tissue on the side of the container

Step 6:Pour a little bit of liquid in.

Findings: Write about what happened.

Reflection: What have I learnt from this experiment? That black has blue yellow and red inside of it.

Dirty water experiment

Aim: To make a filtration plant using household materials.

What is filtration?

Filtration is separating solids from liquids by adding a medium through which only the liquid can pass. 

Examples are:

1.  kidney                                   
2.  Jug 
3. Tea bag 
4. Swimming pool

Materials

1. Stones/Pebbles 

2. Container 

3. Sand

4. Dirty water

5. Funnel

6. Scissors

7. Filter paper

8. Cup 

Steps 

Step 1

Cut a bottle in half if you do not have a funnel.

Step 2

Put the top half of the bottle upside down on the top of the other half of the bottle.If you have a funnel you could place it on something like a beaker or a shape that´s like a cylinder.

STEP 3

Make a cone with some filter paper by folding it.Place it on the funnel.Add half a cup of sand first and pack it in.Then add half of cup of pebbles on top of the sand.

STEP 4

Get 1 cup of dirty water and pour it into your funnel and watch the reaction.

Reaction 

Its starting to drip but the water got more clear when it came out the funnel.Because it got filtered by all the stuff in it.We didn't get any clumps.

Passion project-Stone art

Passion project

Week 1

• 1 We researched and drew some designs that we liked the look of.
• 2 We drew a koru on a piece of oamaru stone
• 3 after we had drew our design on our piece of oamaru stone we sword upto our drawing.
• 4 then we chiseled it and grated a little bit of it

Week 2

Four spheres

hydrosphere

biosphere

atmosphere

lithosphere 

70 percent of the earth is made up of it.

30 percent of the earth is made up by lithosphere.

The atmosphere is made up of oxygen and nitrogen 

Biosphere is four aspecks of life
