Mentos and Coke experiment

Mentos and Coke experiment

(1)What happens when you put Mentos into Coke?

(2)What comes out of a Coke bottle when you put Mentos and Coke into it?

(3)How does it explode?

Word bank: carbon dioxide, coke, mix, bottle, fizz, form, explode,

What you need!

bottle

Coke

Mentos

spoon

adult

Prediction: I predict that the bottle with the Coke in it will expand and then explode everywhere when you put the Mentos into it.

Answers to questions up the top!

(1)The thing that happends when you put Mentos into Coke is that it will explode all over the place.

(2)The fome that comes out of a Coke bottle when you put Mentos into it is Coke all fizzed up.

(3)This is how it explodes. First the Coke and the Mentos comes together and then comes into an air bubble and because the air bubble gets bigger it had to explode.

Diagram

What actually happend when it exploded was that it didn't fizz up or go all over the place. All it did was stayed the same, how it was before.

I hope we can do the Coke and Mentos explosion again.

WARNING!!!
You need an adult to help you.

Dressing up for dinner

You will need a large block of chocolate, a flat tin plate, a knife and fork, a dice, and an old hat and coat.
The guests sit in a circle with the chocolate, plate, knife, fork, hat, coat etc. In the middle.

Each person rolls the dice. If a six is thrown, the player gets up, runs to the centre, puts on the hat and then, picks up the knife and fork and begins to eat the chocolate. One square is cut off at a time, and that must be just with fingers before the next piece is cut off.

While this player is eating, the rest of the team takes it turns to throw the dice. When another six is thrown, that guests runs to the centre, takes the hat and coat from the previous person, gets dressed and begins to cut the chocolate.

(If many six are thrown one after the other, there is a big rush as people begin to put on the coat only to have another person race out and take it after them.)

On the weekend I saw six large birds sitting in the centre of the soccer field.

I got a large block of chocolate from the shops and cut it into six bits.

I got a new coat and hat from the shops.

What I play

Every Saturday I play soccer. I started playing soccer last year. The reason why I decided to play soccer was because I would have to watch my sister play soccer and her games took to long. My sister has been playing soccer for three years but I have only played it for two.

The first time I started playing I was really nervous and shy because I did not know anyone on my team. But when I found out that Emma was on my team I was so exited because she is my friend. On the next game Emma was there and I had met some more people on my team.

On the third game our team played against Parfait. We beat them. All my team was exited that we won. After the game we got lollies from our coach. The lollies were really yummy. After we got the lollies my mum and me went to go to my sisters game. When we got to my sisters game we asked her friends mum if they were winning. She said ''no.'' They were losing.

After my sisters friends mum said ''they were losing'' my sister came of because it was half time. My mum talked to my sister and asked her what the score was. My sister said "the score was 2-1." When my sister went back on the field she was midfield. After the game was finished we went home.

I had so much fun playing soccer. It was great.

Pegasus the Winged Horse

Long ago in the faraway land of Lycea in Asia there lived a fierce monster called the Chimera. It breathed fire and smoke from its huge nostrils and devoured anyone who dared to come near it-sheep, catle, man, women, children and even wild beasts. People were afraid to come out of there houses and their king Isobates could neither eat nor rest for worrying how to rid his land of the evil monster. For what man would be so brave as to undertake so dread a task? The monster had no fewer than three heads, a goat's, a lion's and a serpent's and from the three heads there gushed forth long tongues of flame that burned the countryside and spred destruction far and wide. The Chimera's body was like that of a dragon and its tail like that of a boa constrictor.


At that time a brave and noble yong knight, Bellerophon by the name, chanced to be visiting the King of that land. It was Bellerophophon's fondest dream to do some brave and valiant deed, so when the King proposed that he should go out and test his stregth against the Chimera he was only too eager to prepare himself for this mighty task.

The magic carpet!!! ( Egypt)

Once upon a time i was on a magic carpet. I had no idea that I was on a magic carpet. I got really, really hot. I looked down and I wanted to know where I was. I saw a big pyramid. I had a better idea where was. I said, '' I'm in Egypt.''

''How did I get here? I asked. I felt a little wind. I was taller than all the pyramids. I saw birds next to me. I was patting them. I said ''Am I dreaming? I shut my eyes and pinched my self real hard and I woke up. I was dreaming.

I said '' I had a great time but I am glad I'm home.''

The disco

On Friday the 12th of June 09, our school hosted a disco. The junior disco went from 6:00 to 7:30 and the senior disco went from 7:45 to 9:00.


After school I invited two friends over to my house to come to the disco with me. The two friends that I invited over were Emma and Lora. We went to the disco wearing the same clothes and our hair straight. We also got our hair sprayed green. Emma brought the green spray. For dinner we got Kingsley's. From Kingsley's we got chips and chicken nuggets.

My sister got to invite a friend over but she only got to invite one. My sisters friends name is casdid. My sister asked Emma if she could use the green spray to. Emma said that my sister could use the spray and so could casdid. We got to use the spray first because Emma is the one who brought it. Lora got 30 dollars for the disco and Emma got 10 dollars. Once we got dressed we went to the disco. I got 14 or 13 dollars. My sister only got 10 dollars because she didn't get any out of her wallet and I did.

We left home and went to the disco. We could not wait any longer. When we got to school we had to pay 3 dollars to get in. My mum payed for all five of us to get into the disco. We had to wait outside the canteen because we were waiting for the junior parents to come and pick there children up.

We were finally allowed to go into the hall because the parents came to pick there children up. When we got in to the hall we went to the canteen. Emma, Lora and I all made a deal that we all would play with each other for the whole time we were at the disco. We also made a deal that if we got lost we would meet each other at the brown cupboard near the canteen.

The first thing we did was the limbo and we had a boys line and a girls line. We did the limbo and after we finished the limbo the people who were holding the stick got to choose who got to get the freddo frog. We got to listen to some more songs after the limbo. We listened to some songs like TNT and we got to do the mackerina.

My friends and I got some more things from the canteen and then it was time to go home. My mum came to pick us up from the disco. We went home and my sister got to invite a friend over to sleep. I was not allowed to invite a friend over because I had soccer on Saturday.

I went home and I got into my pj's and went to bed. THE END
