How to make Elephant Toothpaste

How to make Elephant Toothpaste

To make Elephant Toothpaste you will need:

• Hydrogen Peroxide
• Potassium Iodide
• Detergent
• Cylinder/Plastic Bottle

1. First add 100 milliliters of Hydrogen Peroxide
2. Then add a large squirt of detergent
3. After that add one teaspoon of Potassium Iodide (crystals)

Once you have added the Potassium Iodide you should have foam coming out of the cylinder/plastic bottle.

Making Elephant Toothpaste

Making Elephant Toothpaste

On Wednesday afternoon LS1 and Room 5 did an experiment called ‘Elephant Toothpaste’. Two ladies from Edgewater College came and instructed us through the experiment. It was very exciting as we walked to the field. We saw a table with chemicals and a tall cylinder.The two ladies were wearing a large white coat and clear safety glasses. They both introduced themselves and started talking about our experiment. She talked about Chemical reactions, that can’t be reversed and Physical reactions that can be reversed. We had to find out whether the ‘Elephant Toothpaste’ would be reversible or non reversible. She called two volunteers Viva, and Troy. The lady put 100 milliliters of Hydrogen Peroxide in the cylinder. Then Viva put a large squirt of detergent in with the Hydrogen Peroxide. Then we all counted from 5 to 1 as Troy put one teaspoon of Potassium Iodide in the mixture. The color changed into a dark orange. On the top was foam that raised slowly to the top and came out of the sides of the cylinder. It made a huge pile of foam surrounding the cylinder. We were all amazed as our eyes stared at the reaction. We discussed about if it was a chemical reaction or a physical reaction. We all agreed that it was a chemical reaction that couldn’t be reversed. We were going to try it again with a plastic bottle. The lady again asked for another two volunteers, Vance and Alice. Again, the lady poured the same measurement of Hydrogen Peroxide then Vance added the detergent. We counted down from 5 as Alice added the Potassium Iodide. The color was a normal orange and the foam went out of the bottle faster than the cylinder. It shot out of the bottle then went back down making a pile of foam around the bottle. We were more amazed than doing the experiment in the cylinder. When we were sent back we all talked about the elephant toothpaste. We all had an entertaining time during the experiment.

Cultures in LS1

Today In LS1 we did another Statistical Investigation. This time we investigated on Cultures in LS1. My partner magenta and I made a pie chart. We found other different cultures that we never knew about our classmates and LS1.

The 'Other' section has the most amount of people. This included:
Maori has the least amount of people.
New Zealand has one more than Cook Island
Cook Island is one less than New Zealand

Reflecting on my Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein themed .

Reflecting on my Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein themed portrait

1. Are you pleased with your Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein themed portrait? why / why not?

I am really pleased with my Artwork because I really love the colours I haved used for my artworks.

2. What did you find easy when you created your Pop Art portrait? I found it easy when I was colouring my Roy Lichtenstein self portrait.

3. What part did you find tricky when you were creating your portrait? -think about tracing round your face, outlining your face using a black marker pen, dabbing areas using the dye, dying the background, dotting your areas, colouring block areas and lettering.

Tracing round my face was hard.

4. Who / What helped you when you were creating your Pop Art portrait?

My friends Angari savelina and my teacher miss payton.

5. What would you do differently next time? Think about: tracing around your face, features on your face, dabbing the dye colours, colour choice, photograph, time management skills, dotting your paper, colouring in block areas, lettering.

Next time I would undo my pony tail and have my hair out so that it looks natural.

6. What frustrated you when you created your Andy Warhol  and Roy Lichtenstein themed art work?

The Andy Warhol themed artwork frustrated me when it came to dying the background. I had to be careful not to smudge other areas. The Roy Lichtenstein frustrated me when it came to doing the dots. I had fun and I hope that I could do this some other time.
