 WALHT: Observe what happens when the constants are combined.

As I catch up with my experience at Tech, our experiment was to combine all constanttogether to observe the reaction that affects the icing sugar, sodium bicarbonate, vita fresh, citric acid, tartaric acid and when their all combined.

When the sodium bicarbonate (which was baking soda) was tasted, it was bland and could not smell it because it wasn’t very strong to make the smell visible. Icing sugar looked crystalline and slightly powdery. It tasted like sugar a bit sweet. It was then mixed into the sodium bicarbonate using a rod. Following that, it was then combined together into one big container mixed.

Then vitafresh was pink orangish colour and tasted exactly like raro. It was sweet then the after taste was sour. It was also poured into the other mixture together with the 3 constituent (icing sugar, sodium bicarbonate). Citric acid had a similar look like sugar but smaller. Once it was tasted it was extremely sour that the vita fresh. The tartaric acid was the same as the citric acid but more sour. It was very white but opaque which wasn’t translucent enough to be able to see through like a window.

When all constant was combined it tasted sour then sweet, after it was fizzing. When they were mixed there was no reaction until water was added.

Walht: use critical thinking skills to: identify, analyse and evaluate articles and stories that involve ‘Facing Challenges’

After reading this story, I have created the following P.M.I. graphic organiser where I have identified key ideas through analysing and evaluating the text in relation to

Facing Challenges.

The Big Jump SJ Part 4 Number 1 2002

With an overcoming fear two boys were faced with a petrifying flying fox that they never expected.

Plus	Minus	Interest
Overcoming fears helps to gain more confidence and this helps the person  to grow and encourages  new learning. Facing challenges  gives people the opportunity to attempt  new things.	Some people suffer with Phobias which makes it more challenging for people to get passed. Facing fears can be risk taking and  can result in  harm or death particularly if people don’t follow instructions	Bullies sometimes aren’t  as strong as we expect. It is amazing that the character of people can change from confident to insecure and via versa, when facing challenges.
