Today in science at Enrich we made FOOD!!! Bread, sherbet, and best of all, HOKEY POKEY! We basically did it to find out the reaction when we put baking soda and flour and yeast together. First, we did the bread, and put the ingredients together, gave it a mash, dug a hole, put water in the hole, gave it another mash, passed two bowls round the circle to knead the dough, put the glad-wrap over the bowls to cover the dough and left them. Next we did the sherbet, and we had to taste-test the ingredients, which were:
Baking soda [bleh! gag!]
Tartaric [ugh! yuck!]
Citric Acid [cough! wipe off tongue! Almost puke!]
Raro [strong and fizzy, but okay.]
icing sugar [yummy! heavenly! oh, yum! Yum yum yum!
We put them together [on the edge of vomiting] to make sherbet. Yuck! hated it! When we got a bit of sherbet put in bags to take home Katie gave me just a bag with a bit of icing sugar. I ate a bit and saved a bit to take home. We then made hokey pokey, by putting sugar and golden sugar in a bowl, stirred it, leaving it for about... five or ten minutes? Then we took it off the stove and added baking soda, left it to cool, and went to have morning tea. It is morning tea as I am writing this but Katie said we'd have hokey pokey for lunch! Yum! We learnt heaps about reactions and interactions, and it was really fun!!!!
