Easter!

Technicraft was so fun!

Technicraft

Today was an extraordinary day at science in Pakuranga Intermediate.

Today is Thursday which means that we have technicraft so we did the usual things we did before we went to technicraft. We grabbed our morning tea, had prayers and then quickly ran to the bus before the bus driver left us.

When we finally got there, all the Year 7's saw two ziplock bags on each table. We were all wondering what we were going to do. It was really interesting to hear what people had thought about.

Once we had finally settled down into our seats, we had to quickly finish off our work from last week. Last week, we were given a long tube, vinegar and baking soda. We had to pour the vinegar and baking soda in the long tube. What happened was that, when we poured the vinegar and baking soda in, it raised up. It looked really satisfying.

After we had completed the work from last week, we quickly got into more work for this week. We received a beaker of vinegar and another beaker of baking soda from Miss Gawith. Our teacher, then gave us the instructions of what we needed to do.

Firstly, we poured the baking soda into the ziplock bag remembering it into the corner of the bag. Following this, we were told to block the baking soda with our fingers so that when we poured into the vinegar, it wouldn't explode in our faces. Immediately following that, we had to seal the ziplock bag before it bursting our faces. Continuing to hold it tight, the bag was then shaken vigorously and suddenly we saw bubbles. It looked really satisfying for me. When we put the ziplock on our cheek, it felt cold and we could hear bubbles popping.

The next investigation,involved using a balloon, and baking soda. 

First we went outside just encase it got messy. Then, we grabbed the funnel and put it in the neck of the balloon, poured the baking soda into the balloon. After that, we poured the vinegar into the plastic bottle. Next, we put the neck of the balloon on the mouth of the plastic bottle without dropping any baking soda and then dropped the baking soda in. It looked like bubbles, again and it also made bubbles in the balloon. We all got a shock because the balloon popped.

It was really fun to do all the experiments but our excitement ended because we had to go back to school so we all packed up the whole class because it looked like a pigsty and then ran to the bus to go back to school.

Remember to ask your parents before doing this experiment.
