How to Make Ginger Beer

EASIEST way to make alcohol QUICKLY!

Fermentation

Method:

Equipment

• Cup (disposable)
• Pen / Sharpie
• Powdered ginger
• Sugar
• Water
• Spoon
• Lemon Juice

Instruction:

1. Get your equipment.
2. Put your name on a disposable cup.

4. Pour half a cup of water.
5. Add 1 tablespoon / tbsp of sugar into the cup.
6. Mix with a spoon.
7. Add 5 drops of Lemon Juice.
8. Taste it and adjust the flavor.
9. Add 1 quarter of a teaspoon / tsp of yeast.
10. Let it brew for 1 week

Result:

Discussion:

What is Fermentation?

Yeast is a living thing and it eats the glucose/sugar and the yeast and breathes out or releases Carbon Dioxide /CO₂ and it excrete alcohol, this process is called Respiration.

What are the best conditions for brewing?

Based on google, the best condition to brew your ginger beer is to keep it in warm temperature and keep mixing it.

What is the difference between beer,cider,vodka,whiskey?

There is a difference between these drinks, vodka has the highest alcohol level out of beer, cider and whiskey. 

Result:

When I first smelled it, it smelled so bad that the scent can't erase easily. Mr Stock tasted it, but based on his facial expression, it looked like that my ginger beer was bad.

Based on google, the reason why it smelled bad is because of the bacteria that has snuck on my ginger beer.

pH Colours

 Aim:

I want to find out what the colours of pH are.

Research:

Method:

Equipment

• Acid - Hydrochloric Acid
• Base - Sodium Hydroxide
• Test Tube Rack with test tubes
• Universal Indicator

Instruction

1. Get your equipment
2. Put 10 drops of Universal Indicator into the test tube.
3. Add different amounts of acid and base into the test tube.
4. Watch what happens to the colour.

Results:

(This picture is not mine, because I didn't email the pictures I took to myself.)

Discussion:

What are the pH colours?

There are many different types of pH ranges, the colour red has the highest acid, and indigo and violet has the strongest alkali.

Making Sherbet

 Aim: 

I want to find out how to make a good sherbet

Research:

Method:

Equipment:

• Citric Acid
• Raro (Any flavour)
• Baking Soda
• A cup
• A stick
• A piece of paper

Instruction

1. Get all of your equipment ready.
2. Pour some of the dry ingredients on the paper, make sure it's all separated.
3. Scoop a little bit of baking soda using your stick and put it in your cup.
4. Scoop a little bit of Citric acid and add it to the cup.
5. Scoop a little bit of Raro and add it to the cup, for some flavour. 
6. Blend the dry ingredients on the cup.
7. Wet your stick and dip it on the sherbet, if you feel like it doesn't have that much foam, add more baking soda, but if it doesn't have that much flavour, add raro. If its not sour enough, add more citric acid.

Results:

Honestly, it tasted good for me. It's because I like sour foods and I liked the sherbet I made. Once it touched my tongue, it started fizzing.

Discussion:

Why is Citric acid really sour?

Originally, Citric acid is made out of derived lemon juice, lemon juice is also sour. 

Why did it foam?

Once sherbet touches water, it starts foaming and fizzing. The reason why it foams is because, Citric acid is a sort of acid that is made out of lemon. Once you mix citric acid and baking soda and pour water on it, some atoms combine into carbon dioxide.

Hot Chilli

Aim :

I want to find out the best way to cool down your tongue after eating hot chilli.

Research:

Method:

Equipment:

• Hot Chilli Sauce
• Popsicle Stick
• Drinks - Soda, Water, Milk
• Timer

Instruction

1. Get your equipment ready.
2. Get a drop of hot sauce on your Popsicle stick.
3. Lick the Hot Chilli sauce
4. Start the timer
5. After 2mins
6. After 5mins, how hot is your mouth?
7. Repeat the experiment but with a different drink.

Result:

The first chilli I did was without water and I am scoring it a 7 for burning, although it was the first taste. It was still spicy.

The second chilli I did was with water and I am scoring it a 9 for burning, it was burning so bad.

The third one was hot but I rate it a 5 we also drink coke which lessen the burn.

The forth one was less spicy, because I got used to it. The second one was more spicy I guess. At first the spiciness was about a 8. But as soon I drink the milk, it was less spicy. I rate it as 2.

Discussion:

Why does chilli burn your mouth?

Hot chilli contains capsaicin, capsaicin is a chemical compound. As soon as your tongue touches the hot chilli. Your brain reacts to it. The best one to drink is probably milk, it can help down break down the capsaicin, because it contains casein. Casein is the main protein in milk.

Gummy Bear Osmosis

Hello everyone, in science, we are working on a gummy bear osmosis.

Aim:

I want to find out what happens when gummy bears are put in liquids.

Method:

Equipment

• Sodium Chloride / Salt Water
• Safety Glasses
• Normal Water
• Sucrose / Sugar Water
• Gummy Bears
• 2 Petri Dishes
• Marker Pen
• Electronic Scales

Instructions

1. Get your equipment
2. Wear safety glasses
3. Using the market pen, write your name and the conditions (dry, water, saltwater, sugar water) and the weight of gummy bear
4. Do the experiment.

Pictures:

Results:

	Dry Gummy	Sugar Gummy	Water Gummy	Salty Gummy
Initial Weight: (g)	2.45g	2.21g	2.23g	2.22g
Final Weight: (g)	2.43g	5.23g	7.45g	4.07g
Difference	.2g -	gain 3.02	gain 5.22g	gain 1.85g

The water gummy is the heaviest gummy, the reason why it became heavy its because the gummy absorbs the water. Gummy bears are dry when they are made, so when you put it to H2O, its most likely to loose it's colour and flavour.

The dry gummy didn't gain weight, but it lost weight because we let it out all night. So probably, it became cold.

The sugar gummy gained weight because gummy bears are created to be sweet, when a gummy bear and sucrose get mixed together.

Safety In The Laboratory

Hello everyone, at Science class, we are working on safety posters. We are supposed to make a safety poster in the laboratory, like for example: No running inside the laboratory, because you might break something expensive.

I used google slide to create my presentation, some people did posters and some people did videos. 

Here is my work:

Thank you for reading this post, I hope you liked my slideshow. Bye!

Navigation In Space

 Hello everyone, this blog post is about navigation in space. We have a new challenge for us to do tomorrow in Science. The new challenge is called 'Bucket Head Challenge'. 

Aim: Can I navigate in a straight line without my senses.

We also need equipment, the equipment that we need is:

- Bucket
- Cotton wool
- Blindfold
- Safety partner (A safety partner that you can trust).

Instruction:
1- Put the cotton wool in your ears and nose.
2- Put on the blindfold.
3- Put a bucket our your head.
4- Get your safety person to spin you 3 times and line you u with the flag.

5- Begin to walk in a straight line.

6- Write down how you did, and how you felt.

We have to get all of those equipment ready, and put it on. Our goal was to try to walk in a straight line with the blindfold, cotton wool and the bucket.

Questions:

1- What are your five senses?
The five senses are hear, see, touch, feel, smell. We use these senses to detect the environment.

2- How do people get lost in the jungle?
People might get lost in the jungle because it's either because they wanders too much, or it's because it might be their first time going to the jungle and they don't recognise the environment.

3- Do you have anything special about your legs?
I'm actually not sure if there is something special about my legs, but our Science teacher said that everyone's leg isn't even. One is longer than the other one.

Hypothesis:
I think that I will walk in a zigzag because I might be not sure where to go, like I might get lost.

Thank you for reading this post, bye.

Navigation In Space - Science [Hurumanu 3]

Hello! In Science, we were tasked to answer the questions that they prepared for us and answer it on our blog or in a google doc. The questions are space related such as the solar system. Like for example, the Mars is part of our solar system

What is a Solar System?

Solar system involves the sun, stars and the planets. The planets are in a specific order. The order is Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. We are the third planet in the solar system which is the earth. The solar system is full of asteroids, comets and meteoroids. There are also many milky ways and galaxies.

What is the Milky Way an example of?

The milky way is an example of a galaxy, and our solar system is part of the milky way.

What is a star?

A star is a glowing ball of gas. It is made from mostly hydrogen and helium. Which are bound together by its own gravity. It is supported by Nuclear fusion reaction against gravity. Producing photons, heat and small particles of denser elements.

Describe a nebula

Nebula is a big cloud of dust and gas, the cause of nebula is the dying star’s explosion. So when the star explodes, it creates a big cloud of dust and gas which is called ‘Nebula’.

How do stars die?

Stars die because they run out of hydrogen, if they run out of hydrogen the star dies and explodes which creates nebulae.

Is there an up and down in space?

There up and down in space. Down is a way of gravity pulling you down. Up is the opposite way.

How can stars be used to navigate?

They can use stars to navigate by finding the 3 separate stars. For example, one of the stars is called the Northern Star. It’s also known as the Polaris star.

Thank you for reading this post, I hope you have learn't something new about navigation in space.

Bye.

Communication In Space

Hello everyone, this blog post is about what we did in hurumanu 3 which is science. In Science, we are learning about communication in space. The teachers provided some questions for us to answer, its also space related. 

What are some ways we communicate on Earth? Pick 3

Telephone/Mobile phone - We can use telephone to communicate people in online, by calling or chatting.

How do these forms of communication work, what do they rely on or use?

If they use telephone, they would actually rely on the electrical signal. Because if you don't receive the signal, you won't be able to call with someone you want to call with.

Why can nobody hear you shout at space?

Well eventually, no one can hear you if you shout in space. It's because, Mars and Earth has a long distance between each other.

Is radio communication instant? Why/Why not?

Radio communication can be also instant or sometimes not, because it depends if the signal sends fast.

What does this mean for space missions from Earth to Mars?

Well communication in space is a bit hard, because if someone is in Earth and they tried to communicate with an astronaut in space using their device. That would actually take a long time for the astronauts to get the signal from the earth. That would take months.

Thank you for reading this post about communication in space, bye.
