Yes. Again. I had another science lesson today. Today, a group of students from Temasek Junior College came and conducted experiments with us. The experiments are all related to the food we eat. Firstly, we were ask to conduct a eperiment on coca-cola and coca-cola lite. We were asked to drink the beverages and told to guess the flavors. However, I made wrong guesses since both of them tastes the "same". Later on, we were instructed to add the Benedict's solution into the coca-colas and heat them in a beaker using a bunsen burner. Then, record the observations. the coca-cola lite miraculously turned yellowish and a little brownish but the coca-cola stayed the same. This was due to the amount of sugar in the drink. In the second experiment, we need to burn the food we eat (eg.tibits, cereal) using the bunsen burner and then take down its temperature. This is a experiment that shows us the amount of fats in the food according to the temperature increase(the more temperature increase. the more amount of fats the food contains). Mdm Riza says the results are because of the compounds but I don't understand how are they related. Another thing is I really enjoyed today's lesson as it was really fun and I also managed to acheive the expected results.I hope we have more of these lessons in the future.


Byeeeee,
