How does the weather affect people?



Weather affects us in a huge number of ways. Climate influences the growth of crops, thus affecting the availability and kind of food we eat. Fluctuations in weather (e.g. dry spells, wet spells) also affect crops. Weather affects what clothes we wear, and so on.

Jigsaw Task-Yeast Balloon

Jigsaw Task. 


This experiment is all jumbled. Your job is to put the experiment in order,  in a format that is clear
and logical. Just like what we do in class. You are to copy and paste this experiment in the
correct order. The  method is even jumbled


Title: Yeast Balloon


Aim
To explore the reaction when yeast is mixed with sugar and warm water to blow up a balloon.


Hypothesis
I think the balloon will blow up because yeast is used to make things rise. 


Equipment
300ml warm water
A packet of dry yeast
A spoon
A pitcher
Sugar
A small soda bottle
A balloon


Method


Pour 300mls of water into a bowl. 


Add a packet of dry yeast and add two tablespoons of sugar, and stir the mixture until the
yeast and the sugar has dissolved. 


Pour the mixture into the drinks bottle.


Warm up the balloon with your hands. To soften the rubber more, grip the ends of the
balloon and stretch it. 


Stretch the open end of the balloon over the neck of the bottle. Make sure it is pulled down over
the screw threads on the top of the bottle to prevent air from leaking.


Leave the bottle upright with the balloon fitted for one hour, then check the result!


Leave the balloon undisturbed overnight. In the morning the balloon will be even bigger! 


Results
I discovered that within ten minutes the balloon blew up. It blew up to the size of a cricket ball. 


Conclusion

The yeast needs sugar and water to activate it and it begins to respire (breathe). As it does this,
it creates the gas carbon dioxide, which is what blows up the balloon. Yeast is what we use to
make bread rise, so it is a very important little creature!

Baptism




I learned about the seven sacraments today Baptism is the first sacrament. All other sacraments follow after Baptism. For example, you cannot get married in Church, if you are not Baptised.

Water care



 Hook

I was so happy to see Sarah from Water Care.

                                                                

Paragraph 1

Sarah told us about toilets in the olden days. People did not have toilets, they had bedpans in which you could pee and poo in. She told us about how the Water treatment plant kills the germs. She told us about in the olden days the pee and poo was put in a horse cart. Then they put the pee and poo in the rivers.


Paragraph 2

Then we went outside. Sarah told us to make mountains and volcanoes using these white rocks. She put us in three groups. In each group there were about 8 to 9 students. Sharon, Agnes and myself were left over so Sarah and Miss Paton put us in each group. We put a transparent sheet over the top of the rocks. After that we had to guess the number of rivers that would be formed. My group guessed 3 to 4 and then we poured some water on the transparent sheet so my group's rivers formed 4 to 5 rivers.

 

Paragraph 3

Then we went into room 1 then Sarah told us that Cooking oil should never be poured down the sink. If you have cooking oil in your frying pan, then, you need to wipe off the oil with a tissue paper, throw the tissue paper in the dustbin and then wash your pan. When Sarah was telling us this, she put cooking oil in some water and then she mixed it up. Oil solidifies and blocks the drains. Sarah showed us two pipes; one was filled with cotton buds, tissue paper and kitchen paper towels and the other pipe was very nice and clean. She said each one of us should play our part and keep the pipes clean. 


Then she put red paint in water and she told us not to put paint down the storm water drain because the fish cannot see if there is paint in the water. 



Conclusion:

I was so happy to learn about how to care for water and how to save the environment.
