Sabbaticals -- Day 3

Today is probably the most boring day of the whole Sabbatical week.

Firstly, we learnt about surface tension. It wasx ok. We created some bubbles using 2 methods -- using an air pump and using our own breath. Wei Xiang and I blowed some bubbles( Yay! I was better than Wei Xiang at this!). The second experiment was using detergent to "push" a stryofoam boat in a basin so that it can move. It was still ok... Our boat only moved once but it moved at a quite fast speed!

Then we had our recess. I tried playing a chapteh (my first try! :P) and i was quite bad at it... but it was quite fun.

After that we learnt about the "Characteristics of Sound: Pitch and Loudness".The only fun thing i like is playing with the tuning fork...

Next, we "played" with lemon... experimenting to see if lemon juice can conduct electricity. Then we tried to see if HCI(Hwa Chong Instituition)HCl(Hydrochloric acid) can conduct electricity and of course, it can.

The second last experiment had sth to do with fizzy drinks. We made some raisins danced in the fizzy drinks. Another experiment was to make quail eggs float in Coke. The egg in the Diet coke immediately floated whil the other one in the normal Coke sank. We added (a lot of) salt before it finally floated.

The last experiment was a quick one. We just poured Tonic Water(what's that?) into a beaker then add in some Mentos(Ooh... Bubbles!) Then turning on the UV light, we put them into an opaque container and looked thru from a hole from the top. The Light was purple and the water was blue. Mr LeeFY was very funny. He looked thru the hole from the top and said "Oh!". Haha!

Today was so boring... I almost fell asleep(Zzz) but I didn't(I saw other people sleeping). The bad thing was we did not have the most fun experiment(or seems to be the most fun experiment[hot air balloon]).

Hope tommorow's Electric Eleza would be better... (Hopes for the Best, Prepared for the Worst :P)
