Saturated crystals

I Aim: To learn about a saturated solution and how to make crystals

Crystal video

Definition of solution: 

A liquid mixture, when something is dissolved into a liquid (eg: sugar in water) 

Definition of saturated: 

Having or holding as much as can be absorbed of something (when no more sugar or borax can be dissolved into the water)

In groups of three you will make three different types of crystals and compare the results.

Borax Crystals

 M

Ratio; 3 Tablespoons Borax per 1/2 cup water

Materials

1) borax 

2) hot water 

3) a cup

4) pipe cleaners

5) stick

Process

Step 1: get 3 tea spoons of borax

Step 2:Add hot water

Step 3:mix with stick for ten minutes

Step 4:make a star shape with a wire

Step 5:use a peg to hold the star but beneath the water

Step 6:put the Star beneath the water

Sugar Crystals

G

Ratio: 1 cup sugar to 1/2 cup water

Materials

1) sugar

2) hot water 

3) stick

4) string

5) a cup

Process

Step 1: get sugar 

Step 2: add hot water

Step 3: stir

Step 4: add string to stick

Step 5: put stick over cup so string goes into water

Salt Crystals

3) string 

4) stick

5) hot water

Process

Step 1: get salt 

Step 2: add hot water

Step 3: stir 

Step 4: add string to stick 

Step 5: put string on stick

AIM: TO LEARN ABOUT THE NATURE OF PLANTS

Carnivorous Plants

Plants fall into two categories:kkkkikikkhki

1. Evergreen

2. Deciduous

Deciduous

Evergreen

Find three examples of each:

Evergreen:

LEAVES

Simple                                 Compound   

Activity: Choose a leaf and do a leaf rubbing. Once you have done the rubbing, cut it out and glue it on the tree.

RESEARCH 3 TYPES OF PLANT GROUPS

1. Carnivorous plants
2. Fruit trees
3. NZ Native trees

Plant group:

Habitat: (Desert / beach / mountains / swamp / plains / forest)

Aim: To make a filtration plant using household materials.

Water Filtration Plant

What is filtration?

Filtration is separating solids from liquids by adding a medium through which only the liquid can pass. 

Examples are:

Process - ( use verbs or doing words in each step )

Step 1

Cut the bottle.....

Step 2

Put the top half upside down .......

STEP 4

Get 1 cup of dirty water .......

STEP 5

Pour dirty water into ......

Findings

Write a short sentence about the water every 1 minute. 

Include 'How much water has filtered through', 'How fast it is dripping through', and 'How clear the water is'.
