Lo- Create a detailed plan for making ice-cream.
Aim: I want to find out if this experiment actually works without using the freezer but just plastic bags and ice. and if it tastes like ice-cream.

Equipment: Large Zip-lock bag.
crushed ice
Rock salt
2 zip-lock bags
Half and half
sugar
vanilla extract
chocolate sauce
paper towels

Method:
1. Fill the large zip-lock bag half full with crushed ice and add 6 tablespoons of rock salt and shake it up.
2. Mix 1/2 cup half and half, 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla in a bag
3. seal the bag in the other bag and put it in the large zip-lock bag.
4. Mix it up for about 20 minutes.
5. Remove the bags from the large zip-lock bags.
6. Add chocolate sauce once removed from the bags.
7. Enjoy!

LO: Identify the science that is involved with 4 chosen careers.

Chef: Mixing the tastes and ingredients making new and extraordinary foods with different flavors.

Astronomy: Astronomy is a natural science that studies celestial objects and phenomena. It includes mathematicsphysics, and chemistry. They also study planetsmoonsstarsgalaxies, and comets.

Geologist:  geologist is a scientist who studies the solid and liquid matter that makes the Earth as well as the processes that shape it. Geologists usually study geology, although backgrounds in physics.

Chemistry:the branch of science concerned with the substances of which matter is composed, the investigation of their properties and reactions, and the use of such reactions to form new substances.

Zoologist: Study the life of the animals in their origin. Observing them in their habitats and laboratories studying their behaviors, interactions and the animals way of life.

Vortex Cannon

https://youtu.be/inrzvYKYlY
Aim:
I want to find out if the vortex cannon smoke ring travel can knock down how-may-cups

Equipment:
Garbage Can
plastic bags
Duct tape
Craft Knife
Fog Machine
Plastic Knives

Method:
Step 1: Collect Equipment.







Step 2: Use the crafting knife to make a medium sized hole at the bottom of the garbage can.








Step 3: When the hole is cut, we then use the plastic bags to cover the open hole and wrap it with duct tape.









Step 4: We then build a pyramid out of plastic cups








Step 5: finally we fill the garbage can with  fog, before testing our Vortex Cannon.



Attempt
Size of hit
Number of cups
1
Medium
3
2
large
6
3
small
3


 On our first Attempt, Breanna stood a bit close and made a medium hit on the cannon causing for only 3 cups to fall.



On the second, Breanna went further and used a large hit on the vortex cannon. the impact was so strong that 6 plastic cups fell.







For our last one, Breanna stood more further and used a small hit. since the force was too weak only 3 cups fell.







(1) Our Aim was achieved, since we finally found out how many cups we could knock down.

(2) Throughout our experiments, we worked well together so we all managed to test and to discover the answers to our aim. The method, we worked as a team and in the end we made a vortex cannon with everyone's participation.

3) Though the only problem was that. the smoke machine couldn't be used caused it wouldn't poof out any smoke. So in the end we used the air to test our findings, it was a success!

(4) next time, we probably could've used smoke instead of air. That would be a great experiment,seeing the smoke rings come out and hit the cups and all. But using the air was fine too, since we finally achieved our aim.
