war letter

My dear parents 

 

Cherioh, my lovely parents if you are reading this then that means I haven’t died and ain’t 6 feet under a bullet shell, knowing me I’ll probably come back and won’t complain about the war I’m just gonna say that I’ll be alright and not be a complainer and a coward, but if you’re wondering I’m having a terrible day cause of the war, my lovely parents I hope you guys are safe.

 

Sincerely your favorite child Micheal Jackson

Testing pH

 

Aim: why did we do the experiment? we did it to test the PH of a range of household chemicals

 

Equipment: what did you use for your experiment? It is a variety of household chemicals, such as spotting tile, red litmus paper, blue litmus paper, universal indicator solution, and safety glasses.

 

Method: add a few drops of each chemical to a spot on your spotting tile if a substance is solid or powdered you will need to mix it with a few drops of water before testing it. then you test the chemicals with litmus paper. after that test each chemical with a few drops of universal indicator 

 

Results:

 

Discussion: starting discussion questions (you can include more detail)

each one was different chemicals cause some were acid or base dishwashing powder and spray and wipe were base well vinegar, fabric softener, and toilet cleaner are acid it is different for each one depending on the chemicals.

 

Conclusion: starting conclusion questions (you can include more detail)

well our experiment did work I believe we could have tried different stuff to see if they are acid, base, and neutral and I think we should concentrate on our work instead of trying to play around and doing something else.

Egg parachute experiment – legend

Aim: 

  • we were trying to make an egg parachute to make more air resistance so the parachute would go slow enough to stop the egg from breaking 

Method: 

  • plastic apron
  • black paper
  • scissors
  • tape
  • cotton wool
  • string
  • piece of egg carton

Results:

  • my egg only broke after it was already on the ground while trying to get it off the ground it took 1:89 seconds in 1st place

Discussion:

  • it is the cause of the lack of air resistance they had compared to my group less air resistance = fast falling well more air resistance = slow falling that is the only reason the other group one were quicker than my group also if the parachute is unbalanced it will lead the egg to possibly fall out to the ground breaking.

Conclusion:

  • our experiment went great it is also the fact that I won.
