Lolly flavours mystery test

Aim - To taste different lollies and determine if the colour of the lolly indicates their flavour and how much the sour taste masks their flavour 

Hypothesis 
I think that some of the flavours will be easy to identify

Method 
1. Each person in the group will test two lollies
2. Each tester will be blind folded
3.Lolly will be placed on their tounge then chewed.
4. Once a flavour has been determined it will be recorded on the chart below using a scale of 1-5 to determine how easy it is to identify

3

Summary 
I don't think that the sour taste masks the flavour that much because after chewing for a bit the sour taste goes away and then the actual flavour of the gummy bear comes out.
For lime it was green it was kind of easy to say what it was but it tasted like lemon at the same time so I rated it a 3.
Orange was orange and the sour taste did not mask the flavour at all it was very easy to find out the flavour so I rated it a 1.
Raspberry was red and it was pretty east to know what is was yet the sour taste did mask it a little so I rated it a 2.

Writing

A bright blue sky, and clouds hovering over the snow covered mountains. Down below trees are covered head to toe in snow. She averted my eyes more to the middle to see another mountain with a dark cyan lake with the reflection of trees and the sky. Looking down a bit more a thick layer of snow is on the floor, ark green pine trees covered in snow fill my vision as she look up a tiny bit, she watches as the water moves around a bit messing up the once beautiful reflection. Her long dirty blonde hair blows in the wind feeling a shiver go up her spine. Her eyes close slowly listening to the sound around her, a fluffy snow fox walks up beside her rubbing against her leg and curling into a ball. She bends down a bit to pat the fox making it slowly fall asleep. 

She looked around with her emerald coloured eyes. She sat down in the snow feeling a bit cold but she felt comfort in the coldness of the snow. The fluffy white fox was almost camouflaged, the only way you could see the fox was if you were looking for its eyes. She was wearing a burgundy coloured jacket which was covered in fox fur, dark brown pants that almost looked black, on her head accompanying her hair is a deep red beanie. The girl was tall for age, with kind of long fingers, her nails were painted black, her little friend was a fully white fox with crystal blue eyes.

The fox lifted its head and walked closer to the water, the fox looks down to see its reflection. A huge thumping sound fills both of their ears. Their heads turned to the direction of where the noise was coming from. The girl instantly stood up and walked to her fox as slow as she could. She was walking slow so the bear who was making all the noise wouldn't see her and come after her. 

200 word challenge

 Hi guys today in WGA I did a 200 word challenge because I finished the work that I was suppose to do. The picture was of a concert here is the picture and my work I hope you enjoy 



It was a beautiful night, there was a concert going on. People in the crowd were

blinded by lights. The beaming lights were blue, green and purple. The crowd was

laughing and jumping around. But there was something about this crowd, there were

people holding flags of countries and flags that celebrate their pride. People on stage

were singing into microphones. Their voices were blaring out into the cool air. Just in

that moment someone was thrown into the air, everyone was yelling and screaming

loudly, cultural music coming out of the voices that were still singing.

The flags were being waved around left to right in smooth motions.

Suddenly the music stopped, everyone was confused yet still they were

excited to be there. A new song came on and then everyone started screaming

and yelling in joy. The lights started switching into different colours. The lights were

bright as hell. On the stage there are unknown things that are hanging from the roof of

the stage. Voices were blaring, people were screaming and yet still people were excited

and happy to be there because of the amount of energy coming from everyone who

is there at that moment in time.

Culture Kete - Kiwiana

 Hi guys today in wananga we were finishing the stuff we did for the culture kete. Here is what I did for it


List 10 items that are classified as kiwiana

1. L&P 

2. Pavlova
3. Buzzy Pee

4. Paua Shell

5. Fish and Chips

6. Gum boots 

7. Kiwi bird

8. Weetbix 

9. Hokey Pokey Ice cream,

10. Lolly Cake


Does it matter if Kiwiana products aren’t made and produced in New Zealand?



I don’t think it really matters if the product is made in a different country, if it still

has something about New Zealand on it I think it still is a kiwi product.

The clothes and different types of plushies and souvenir’s when they get made in

different countries really doesn’t matter because it has something to do with New Zealand

on the different pieces.
For food it doesn’t matter as well, because there are some food

products that have been thought of in New Zealand and made in different countries.

Even if they are made in different countries it still doesn’t matter because it has

been given a name in New Zealand and it’s now Kiwiana. Heaps of countries do the same thing,

make something to do with their country but yet it is still produced and made somewhere else.



Advertising for something in kiwiana town
Welcome to Kiwiana town, kiwiana town is a town in New Zealand  filled with Kiwiana things.
In Kiwiana town there is a ed hillary walkway, when walking down the ed hillary walkway

there are display boxes filled with something to do with kiwiana. The boxes have different

types of themes inside, for example there is an anzac themed box, Buzzy Bee, Kiwi Slang,

Marmite, Aunt Daisy and etc.

Gummy bear Osmosis

 Aim:

The aim is to find out what happens to Gummy Bears when we put them into different liquids.

Prediction:

I think that the Gummy Bear might absorb some of the liquids.

Method:
The method we are 

Equipment

  • Three solutions - water, sugar and salt

  • Four Gummy Bears of the same colour

  • Two Petri Dishes

  • Marker pen

  • Electronic Balance

  • Measuring Cylinder

  • Beaker

Steps

  1. Get your equipment.

  2. Label Petri dishes with DRY, WATER, SALT WATER, SUGAR WATER

  3. Weigh the Gummy Bears and record their weight on the Petri Dish.

  4. Add 40mL of the solution into the Petri dish.

5.46 - Gummy bear - Salt petri disc (Without liquid)
5.37 - Gummy bear - Water petri disc (Without liquid) 


Findings
:

Weight change

Water Absorbed by Gummy Bear


How many mL left in the petri dish?

Water Absorbed by Gummy Bear?

Why did the dry gummy bear lose weight?

Why did the normal water gummy bear absorb more water?

Why did the sugar water gummy bear absorb less water?

Osmosis - what does this word mean?
