 Hey readers, sorry I haven't done the blog post in a while but I was sick last time we had reading plus last week but don't worry i did catch up:

Making Sherbet

 Aim:

I want to find out how to make sherbet.

Research: How to make sherbet video & The science behind sherbet:

                 

                                                     How to make Sherbet video---------------

The science behind sherbet-----------

Method:

Equipment

• Popsicle stick
• Citric Acid
• Raro
• Baking soda
• Paper

Instructions

1. Get your Equipment
2. Wash your hands
3. put the paper on your table
4. get a pile of the three powders
5. Using your Popsicle stick mix some of each powder
6. Taste the sherbet
7. if there is too much baking soda, add more citric acid
8. if there is to much citric acid, add more baking soda
9. to improve the flavour add more Raro

Results:

I wasn't here but my friends said that it tasted okay, she sent me a photo from the day though!  :) 😃

Discussion: 

Why did the sherbet not foam on the paper but it did in your mouth?

What was the chemical reaction in the sherbet?

The fizzing sensation experienced when eating sherbet is a result of the chemical reaction between the citric acid and sodium bicarbonate. This reaction also produces small bubbles of carbon dioxide but only when the dry ingredients are wet by saliva in the mouth.

What type of chemical reaction is this?

Blind Taste Testing 👅

 Aim: I want to find out if food tastes differently when you can see or smell.

Now we will be starting the blindfolded:

It was a pickle FIRST:

It was a potato SECOND:

It was a apple THIRD:

                                                                   Discussion:

                                                       How do you taste food?:

 taste buds pick up clues about how a food tastes and sends messages about it to your brain along special wires called nerves. To taste something properly, you need to chew food into small pieces and to have a lot of drool, or saliva. This help the flavour molecules (also known as “tastants”) reach your taste buds.

                                                       What are different tastes?:

               Sweet, sour,fruity,slimy,Chewy,Biter,Salty,savoury,meaty,cool,hot,

                              Where are the different taste buds on your tounge?                         Each person has between 5,000 and 10,000 taste buds, most of which are located in papillae — the small rounded bumps on the upper surface of the tongue. Taste buds are also scattered across the roof of the mouth and the back of the throat.

Drama-performing arts.

Drama

 Hello everybody! *warning don't scroll if you are scared of killer clown pictures*

Me and my hurumanu have been going to drama this term and it has been super awesome! Our teacher is Mr Wilkes, He is really nice and really good at acting, and sometimes he lets us play hide n seek in drama in the dark. We are learning about type of clowns in drama too. 

1. The clown who wears the flower, big shoes, white paint in his/her face and a red nose.
2. The clown who is in horror movies, like killer clowns.
3. The clown which is just a silly person who makes people laugh but just wears a normal outfit.

Mr Wilkes told us that a lot of people lost there jobs of being clowns that paint their face with funny and colour outfits with a red nose because a lot of people these days are afraid of clowns because of the type of horror movies these days. Usually people are just in plays and ACT like a clown, like funny, silly and even gibberish like minions:

We did some activities like icebreakers and some acting games which were pretty fun! sadly I didn't do a two games since I was feeling well, but besides that, drama was awesome! :)

                                   THANK YOU FOR READING! and here is some clowns to look at <3

Research: Find a funny YouTube  of eating hot chilli. Find a video about science of chilli.

Funny hot chilli

Science hot chilli

Method

Equipment

• Coca-cola
• water
• milk
• timer
• Popsicle stick.
• Carolina Reaper.
• Plastic shot cups.

Instructions

1. Get your equipment.
2. Scoop some chilli onto your stick.
3. Start the timer and eat the chilli.
4. Stop the timer after 4mins.
5. Rate how hot your mouth is.
6. Do experiment again but drink water after 2mins.

Results 🥵 :

The first chill I did was without water and I am scoring it a 10 for burning.

*No video*

The second time, I had water and after 4mins I scored it a 6.5 for burning.

The third time, I had Coca-cola and I scored it a 9 for burning.

The fourth time, I had milk and I scored it a 2 almost a 1 for burning. ( hated milk ) :)

                                       Review:

     The coke for me made it worse and I feel like throwing up from that, all of them.

Discussion:

                                                  Why does chilli burn your mouth?:  

Capsaicin makes your mouth feel as if it is on fire because the capsaicin molecule happens to fit the receptors perfectly. When this happens, it triggers these receptors, which send a signal to your brain, fooling it into thinking that your mouth is literally burning.

                                                   Why did the milk reduce the burn?:

Milk is a solution when eating spicy foods. That's because milk helps your mouth handle capsaicin, an oily chemical compound in chilli peppers. ... Since capsaicin is fat-soluble, rinsing with milk fat helps ease the burn. Casein protein found in milk can also bind to the capsaicin and wash it away.
