Chromatography Science

The First thing we did for this science experiment we needed to get the safety gear needed ( which was really nothing) I thought that the whole paper would turn the colour.
Scientist use chromatography to take away the colour from somethings
some of the things that we used were Ethanol, Acetone and C.solvent
First we got a little test thing then  we picked our chemicals the first one we picked was the acetone it did not do much it just spread the colour
Ethanol spread the yellow just a little bit.

The reason the chemicals changed the paper to spread the colour was because of the chemicals and acid spread the colours well at least I think that is why.

Red Cabbage Indicator

Experiment 2: Red Cabbage Indicator

When we were doing the experiment the aim was to get the cabbage juice to make an indicator using house hold items.
We used 100ml of cabbage and 50ml of water then we boiled the cabbage with a Bunsen burner until the the water turned purple then we put it into little test tubes we put different types of house hold items

Then I changed colours depending on what you put in If you put in base it wold turn green or greenish Blue if it turned pink or purple you would have used something like an acid.

For different colours their are different household items
House Hold Items:
 Floor Cleaner
Shampoo
lemonade
Toilet Cleaner
Sparkling Water

Fo Guang Shan Temple Visit

The 22nd of May the year 7 and 8 classes of HHS (Hornby High School) got to go on a trip to the Fo Guang Shan Temple I was a really cool temple. We went to the man talked to us about the 3G4G he told us that it means 3 good deeds and 4 Giving. Then we walk into a room and a lady talked to us about the Buddha after the talk we made a special flower called the lotus flower.
My favourite part in the temple was when we watched a little video on how the Buddha became wise and tried to share all the 3G and 4G with everyone.
