Sugar balance

Today at science we had to setup a buns burner and we had to grab a test tube and put a bit of sugar in    it and then we had to turn the buns burner and we had to put a type of liquid in the test tube with the bits of sugar then we had to swirl the test tube around the fire and remember always to wear safety glasses safety first and after it should turn orange after you have burned the test tube. And don't have sugar after bed because when you do you will stay up and you won't even go to sleep.

Testing for Simple Sugars  (Benedict's Test)

Aim

I want to find out how to test for simple sugars.

Simple sugars are carbohydrates that are quickly absorbed by the body to produce energy. They are also classified as “simple” because they contain only one or two units of sugar or saccharides. Also referred to as simple carbohydrates, these sugars are found naturally in a variety of foods that we consume daily.


Equipment
Safety glasses
Bunsen burner
Test tubes
Test tube tongs
Benedict's Solution
Food sample
Method

Place about 2mL of the food sample into a test tube and then add 5 drops of Benedict's solution and 5ml of water
Gently heat the test tube over a blue flame.  DO NOT BOIL!

Results

A positive test for a simple sugar results in the Benedict's Solution changing from a blue colour to a yellow colour to an orange/red colour.

Conclusion

…..




Extra for experts

Two different types of sugar exist: simple and complex. Complex sugar takes longer for your body to break down and is healthier for your body. This type is found in natural carbohydrates such as whole grains and fruit. On the other hand, simple sugar is broken down by your body quickly and causes energy ups and downs. This type of sugar includes refined and processed sugar found in table sugar and added to many sweets. Consuming an excess of simple sugar comes with numerous health problems

Equipment in science

In science today we made a DLO about the science equipment because we didn't know much about the equipment so we did a DLO and we had to match the word to the pictures and we had to do a lot. The only reason why we did that was because the teacher wanted us to because when she would tell us to go and get that. And we would know what to grab because we didn't do this DLO we might have not know what to get. I'm truly sorry that I couldn't get the doc on my blog so if you are wanting to see the doc go on my friends blog his name is Callum. He will have the doc on his blog I will put the names of the science equipment but on Callum acounnt he will have the names and the pictures of where the names should go. So here are the names of the science equipment remember check out my friends acounnt.

This week we have been learning respecting belief, properties, places and people so we had
to make a DLO about respect but we had to chose what to make a DLO about one of them and it has to have sismo so thats is sound sight motion I don't know what the I means so yeah and you had to get in to pears. So me and my partner Levi used powtoon we were talking about properties but we failed because we didn't just talk about properties we talk about places and peoples do we didn't have any sound but we still some good feed back so next time we can use that feed back and maybe it will be a awesome DLO I'm really sorry that I couldn't but the DLO on my blog but if you were to see it. It probly be a alright DLO it didn't really have much but it did show stuff about respect so yeah.

Make a paperclip float

How does it work

The way the paper clip float is the that when you put the tissue paper in the water it will recongnise that the paper is in the water and the molecules will should pull tight enough to make the paper clip but the paper clip doesn't float because the molecules hold the paper clip up so you can say that the it is getting held up.

What's needed

Paper clip
Tissue paper
Becker or glass

What to do

You need to get a Beaker or a glass then you need to cut the tissue paper just enough to fit the tissue on it then it should float then try to take the tissue out and see if it floats it should but look out because when you hit it. It will drop.

Act of Kindness

What will you do if you see someone in need? Benevolence


I would go and help them or if there was a person on the street I would go give them food is or money. If I have money when older I want to help the people are on the side of the street because watching this video about this man who did act of kindness. He would feed a dog that was on the street and he would give money to the little girl and he would give this old lady bannas and he would help a  lady pull her cart up the road. And it looked heavy and he would do that every single day. Until one day he went to the little girl to give her money but she wasn't there she was gone after a second she ran toward him and guess where she came from she came from school. that man kind of give of her a chance and the old lady that he would give bannas to she found him and said thank you and brought him into her house. And lady he would she said thank you to see what act of kindness can do and the word benevolence means kindness.
