Hello, internet.

So we’ve been doing a unit on chemistry. Specifically, we’ve learnt about chemical reactions, the Ph scale,  and balancing chemical equations.

 

At the start of this unit, we each made a mindmap about chemistry. This was my mindmap:

 

 

At the end of the unit, I made another mindmap, which looked like this:

 

 

Our main project for this unit was to design and perform a chemistry experiment. My group designed an experiment based around testing the acid levels in different substances: a pineapple, a banana, some dirt, a bath bomb, and Diet Coke.

 

We tested these items using red cabbage juice, which is what’s known as an indicator: a substance that turns different colours when it comes into contact with acids or bases.

 

This was our final experiment:

 

 

We also did a write up explaining the science behind our experiment:

 

 

Toodles!
