What is Fermentation 

Yeast is a living thing, it eats glucose, breathes out CO2 and excretes Alcohol. This process is called Respiration. 

What is the best condition for brewing? 

The best condition for brewing alcohol is in a warm temperature. 

Healthy Diet.

 Hello everyone! 

In Health we've been learning how to eat healthy and how to look out for our bodies during puberty. 

Rheanne and I worked on a slide on a healthy menu for a week and we added some healthy meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. My favourite meal on the menu would probably the smoothie bowl because it had a lot of healthy stuff and fruits as well. 

Protein, Carbs, Vegetables, fruits, grains, dairy, fat, etc. are very important for every meal in order to become healthy.

Myths and Legends Activities

Hello everyone, 

Today I have finished off some of my reading work based off Maori Myths and Legends. The work i'm most proud of is this activity that lets you invent a machine that could help Maui pull the sun. 

My work: 

We had to make up an invention to help Maui and his brothers pull the sun, in the poster/picture it tells you how it works and the mechanics of it. 

Reflection: 

I liked the layout of the machine I invented but I should have drew it on paper to add more details and describe the machine more. 

Thank you for reading, Have a nice day/night ciao!

Making Sherbet (Science)

Aim 

I want to know how to make Sherbet. 

Research:

Method: 

Equipment:

• Citric Acid
• Raro (Raspberry?) 
• Baking Soda 
• Paper
• Plastic cup
• wooden Popsicle stick  

Instructions: 

1. First get your equipment.
2. Pour your Citric Acid, Raro and Baking Powder on the piece of paper separated. 
3. Get your cup and Popsicle stick and scoop SOME of the ingredients with your stick and taste.
4. If the flavour isn't right, scoop a little more until your satisfied with the taste. 
5. Bring home and enjoy.  

Result:

it was really sour even if I added a little citric acid. But overall it tasted okay. When I added water to the leftover ingredients it started to fizz up and it got bubbly, some of the fizzed up ingredients got in my open wound and it stung a lot. 

Discussion: 

Why did it foam? - when baking soda touches a liquid the gas (carbon dioxide) creates bubbles that are surrounded by the liquid that create foam.
