Making Hokey Pokey

 Hey Bloggers

Aim: To make hokey pokey using sugar, golden syrup and baking soda.

When the sugar and golden syrup combine what the baking soda it froths and makes carbon dioaxide gas. That is why the hokey pokey has bubbles.

Materials:  

1. 2 Tablespoons Golden Syrup 

2. 4 Tablespoons sugar 

3. 1 Heaped teaspoon of baking soda 

4 Pot 

5. Tablespoon and Teaspoon 

6. Bunsen Burner 

7. Grease proof paper

Method:

1. Put 4 tablespoons of sugar and 2 tablespoons of golden syrup in a saucepan and melt.

2. Bring to the boil and simmer gently for 5 minutes.

3. Add baking soda and stir vigorously. 

4. Put the hokey Pokey on a piece of grease prove paper to cool.

The more the sugar syrup is cooked the Browner it becomes. If it is left cooking for to long your hokey pokey becomes brunt. 

Explanation: 

1. Why do we stir it? So everything is mixed together 

2. Explain why the hokey pokey rises and has bubbles? It has bubbles because of the carbon dioxide

3. What gas is made by the baking soda? Carbon Dioxide

Wild boy

 

Hey bloggers 

This week I have been reading Diary of a Wild boy and had to answer some questions about the story. Here are some sentences about the story.

Brando walked around the coastline of New Zealand to challenge himself.

He carried with him water, food, tent, knife and sleeping bag.

It took 1 year and 7 months to walk New Zealand.

He ate animals that he had killed and turned into meat.

The challenge was when he was trying to kill
the first animal and to live in the wild for so long

The favourite parts of the walk

I think he liked it most because of the tropical birds, limestone and rain forests.

It is really hard to get to and he made it there.

Brando's Canterbury companion helped him on the beach.

It was a scared sheep that ran away with Brando behind him.

But he gave her to a farmer.

The trip teaches Brando life skills, how to live in the wild and to have fun and see New Zealand.

That is all I have for you today so
