\"sci\"<\/a>2 weeks ago we went to the High School for Science week because we were doing food science with all the schools around Islay and Jura.\u00a0 We went to Mr Kitching’s room first and we were testing foods for energy.\u00a0 We had Peanuts, Pringles and Bread and we burnt the food with a Bunsen Burner and then put it under a test tube that had water in it. We also had a thermometer in it and we had to check how much the temperature went up.\u00a0 The peanuts had the most energy then it was Pringuls and then it was bread.<\/p>\n

The next class was Mrs Moran and we made a really gooey thing out of cornflour and water and mixed it all together \u00a0then we put it on a big music speaker and it looked like it was dancing and then we tided up and went to the next class room.<\/p>\n

The next class room was Mrs McNaughton’s class and we were testing foods for starch, fat and protein. \u00a0 We had busen burners and we put different foods into test tubes and added Benedict’s to test for sugar. \u00a0 You had to put the test tube in and out the bunsen burner and also used iodine to check for starch.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If it has sugar when you put the Benedict’s and add the heat it should go orange and if you do the same with the iodine it will go blackish.<\/p>\n

I had a great time.<\/p>\n
