Testing red cabbage as a ph scale.Investigating Acid and Bases.


SCIENCE LIVE REDISCOVERY CENTRE!

Our experiment was testing red cabbage as a ph scale!

 

INVESTIGATION 1!

Acid+Bases

Investigate what happens when you add acids and bases into the juice from a red cabbage which is a natural ph scale

 

MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT!

1 tray

5containers

PH scale sheet

Wash up liquid

THE Materials WE TESTED TO SEE IF THEY WERE ACID OR BASE WERE:

Milk , lemon juice , water , salt , dish powder , bicarbonate of soda , sanitizer , vinegar

THE ACIDS IN THAT LIST WERE:

Lemon juice, Dish powder , bicarbonate of soda , sanitizer , vinegar

THE BASES ON THE LIST WAS: Milk

 

THE NEUTRALS ON THE LIST WERE: Salt and water

 

OVERALL IT WAS A REALLY FUN EXPERIMENT!

Minecraft education

 Minecraft education edition was a part of Microsoft dream space. It was a series of events like architecture first we had to build our dream house. Second we had to build a range rover because it was a challenge for space week. The third challenge was growing crops or farms and brining in live stock. It involves critical thinking systems thinking collaboration and communication. After a long time of joining servers and blowing up stuff  we started to build houses and farms. After a while we stopped and tried to build a mars rover we didn't get around to doing it. After all we enjoyed it ever so much and hope to do it again soon.

STEM SHOWCASE

Image
We held a show case of their recycled materials models project. It was an excellent opportunity for the children to explain their models and how they made them. They were also presented with prizes for their work. Actor Jermery Irons heard about the model of Kilcoe Castle and invited Jacob to the castle with his model to tell him more about it.  Fourth class presented their STEPS Young Engineers project to JB Barry Engineering a firm who are based in Co Limerick through a zoom call. It shows how the children are able to explain their work successfully through a video call if an inperson visit it not possible.  Any time we have carried out science experiments throughout the year the senior room will show their work to the junior room and vice versa. This creates great excitement as they love to show what they have learnt to each other.  The older children would visit the younger classroom to see their work on bridges and allow them to explain how they made them and what th...
