DNA Extraction Experiment

Aim; To extract DNA from the kiwi fruit 

Method: 

1. Mush half a kiwi fruit in a zip lock with a splash of water and a small teaspoon of salt 
2. Stain he solution though a cloth into a beaker 
3. Add a squirt of dish-washing liquid and stir 
4. Pour into a test tube 
5. Place the test tube 
6. Leave for 10minss. ( begin blog in this time ) 
7. Slowly pour 5mL of mentholated spirits down the inside of the test tube 

Result: 

 Where do you find the DNA?

In every organism, there is a cell and within that cell, there is a nucleus. There are 46 chromosomes in the nucleus and in those chromosomes there are strands of DNA.

Conclusion: I would not do anything different as it worked perfectly and I extracted DNA

Science - model atom

AIM - to make a model atom

1. Choose an atom to make ( between Hydrogen and Neon )
2. Work out how many protons, neutrons and electrons it has.
3. Hydrogen to beryllium use the big beads
4. Born to Neon use the small beads.
5. Assign protons and neutrons to a particular colour bead.
6. Get a ball of blue tac and stick the protons and neutrons to this to make your nucleus.
7. cut out the appropriate electrons shells and draw on the electrons with vivid.
8. connect the nucleus and electron shells with a piece of string.
9. create a label to go above the model so people know what you have created.

Result.

Aim: To see which chemical

mix creates the most gas.

Hypothesis: (What do I think will happen)

Materials:

1. Three Balloon
2. Three plastic recycling bottle
3. Sugar
4. Active Veast
5. Funal
6. Baking soda
7. Vinegar

Steps:

1. Grab your Funal and place it inide your bottle. then put the ingredients in then put a balloon in to let it rise  
2. then put the ingredients in then put a balloon in to let it rise  
3.  Grab your Funal and place it inide your bottle.
4. then put the ingredients in then put a balloon in to let it rise  
5.  Grab your Funal and place it inide your bottle.
6. then put the ingredients in then put a balloon in to let it rise

Findings:Salt may seem simple, but since it can be used in more ways than the well known, its fascinating facts and uses make it the world's most amazing mineral. ... Salt is also involved in the process by which your body regulates its water content (fluid balance).

Yeast is tiny: Just one gram holds about 25 billion cells. That amount of fungi can churn out a significant amount of carbon dioxide, provided it has the simple sugars ituses as food.  

It is even correct to say baking powder is one ingredient used to make baking powder. Baking soda contains sodium bicarbonate (a base) which can react with acids in vinegar, yogurt, and buttermilk to produce carbon dioxide.

	Balloon 1 ( 3 tsp baking soda, ½ cup vinegar)	Balloon 2 ( 3 tsp salt, ½ cup soda)	Balloon 3 ( 2 tsp yeast, 1 tsp sugar )
Balloon Size (cm)	Large	Medium	Small
Bubbles	Small	Medium	Large

Conclusion:

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.
