Science Pendulum Art

Title: Pendulum Art               By: Bridget, Tara, Mary & Elsie 

Aim/Hypothesis: We thought that it would look like how it looked on the video. We also thought that it would be easy and we would get it first try.

Method: First we got 2 chairs and then we put a 1 meter ruler and tied it  to the 2 chairs after that we got some string and a paper cup and tied that to the 1 meter ruler so it would hang down in the middle. We put a hole in the bottom of the cup so the paint would come out then we mixed pink and blue in the cup with someone holding a piece of paper at the bottom of the cup so the paint wouldn't come out. We had some newspaper at the bottom of the the good paper that we were going to use. After that then we swung the cup on to the paper and it turned out like this.  

     

Results:  On our first attempt the cup was a foot away from the ground.  It was quite messy and unorganised, the string was every and didn’t end up like the ones in the videos. Once we let go of the string to let it swing and do it’s thing, it just ended up doing blotches of polka dots.  It wasn’t flowing properly and it ended up looking like a mess. Our second attempt was a little bit better, but wasn’t what we wanted. It had the same problem as our last attempt, polka dot blotches and no improvement. For our third attempt we decided to change the pendulum by sticking a pencil through the cup and adding a bigger hole.  We secured the string to the ruler and it seemed to work wonders. We aced it at the third attempt. 

Conclusion: Overall in the end it turned looking pretty cool. It took a couple of tries to get it right but we got it in the end and it worked.  Next time to make it successful we should do the same process as third attempt, but make the hole slightly smaller.

How fermented food helps with gut biome

About fermented food:

Most people say the best food is kept fresh. That’s where fermented food slots in. Fermented food will help to fight our bad bacteria throughout our bodies.  Our food that we eat now, is quite often going mouldy. It is much better than takeaways because these jars filled with fermented food can help us enormously. That’s not just because it’s a healthy diet.

Why it’s good for the gut:

Our fermented food is really proving its greatness towards people’s gut. It can help improve our good bacteria digestion. Researchers also studied that it has an important effect on gut issues! Fermented food keeps it fresher and much healthier so it is better than food that goes off. There are heaps of fermented foods too so you you won’t get bored eating tiny cucumbers all week. Now, should we take a look at this list of fermented food?

You really haven’t heard of some of these foods.Here are some fermented foods that you could try: there is kimchi or you could try kombucha also kefir is a fermented milk and natto. There are many foods that you need but don’t know about. You can even make fermented food yourself only needing jars and a bag of food, like pickles maybe.
