Roasting peanuts Reflection

Today I did Immersion with Amy and we roasted peanuts. We had to get into groups of 4. It was satisfeing to watch because we watched all the oil come out of the peanuts. The first thing we did was get a candle and put it in a candle holder and put it in the sink water some cold water. The groups had to light the candle with a match. We had steel tongs and we had to hold the burning peanut in the sink until the fire went out. It was cool to watch. Once the peanuts stop burning we had to drop it in the sink of cold water. The bigger the peanut was the longer it burns for. We had to time how long the peanuts burnt for.

We did an activity where we had to sort out pictures that were living and that weren't living. Felicaty  gave us a game to try. Its very challenging. She sent all of us a document of what we can watch and research about. We talked about food chains. Did you know that all the food in the world comes from a seed.

02/07/17 Today me and Paige did our summary for our project.  Bath bomb research Ingredients: 1 cup Citric acid ($2.80 1kg) 2 cups baking soda ($9.00 400g x3) 20-30 drops Essential oil ($3.00 750ml) Our summary Bath bombs are very relaxing to sit in. The bath bombs will make your skin very soft after your bath because it contains essential oil. When you put a bath bomb in the warm water a chemical reaction occurs. The citric acid and the warm water makes a reaction and makes the bath bomb very fizzy and colorful from the food coloring. It also smells nice if there is peppermint essence or vanilla essence. Bath bombs are also relaxing when you can see and smell the bath bomb. It is also really fun to look at.
