Kitchen science!

12/08 Kitchen science!


From the 14th of July to the 8th of August Kathyś kaiawhina did kitchen science. We did all sorts of different experiments. The experiments that we did were; dancing raisins, elephant toothpaste, homemade lemonade, magic milk, plastic milk that we tried about 3 times and it still didn't work on any of the tries and our last experiment was; how does water change colour.


My 2 favourite experiments were either elephant toothpaste or magic milk. Why I think elephant toothpaste is one of my favourite is because I loved the eruption that happened when we added the yeast. How I thought magic milk was one of my other favourite experiments was because I loved how the colours just collided as soon as the dishwashing liquid hit the milk, the colours just zoomed back when the dishwashing liquid dipped in like someone had pushed them to the wall.

Before we had to do each experiment we had to do a sheet. So first we had to write up the title then we had to do the aim of the experiment after that was the prediction underneath the prediction box there were three big boxes the first one was observe ( bullet points ) then there was labelled diagram ( before ) and then labelled diagram ( after ). Underneath those three big boxes there was how you explain the experiment works. We put a sheet that fitted in the explain box and finally the last box it was how you could change the experiment.

I really enjoyed learning about kitchen science. All the experiments that we tried were so fun. Some of them failed and some of them succeeded. The ones that succeeded were; elephant toothpaste, why does the water change colour? Homemade lemonade, magic milk, dancing raisins but the one that failed as only plastic milk.

Kathy's kaiawhina learnt about more complex science words.
What's the difference are about solids, liquids and gases? How to make different experiments and that we could make them at home and most of the experiments included white vinegar.
