This year we did a science expo and we had to do it based on food science or environmental science and You could choose which one you wanted to do. I chose food science because I thought it would be more fun working with food. So I decided to do dancing noodles and raisins. I found my experiment on YouTube and I just typed in food science and this brought up. I chose to work by myself because If you went with someone, you would have to organise play dates and one person ends up doing all the work and finding all the information. I think my experiment went really well but the one thing that didn't work was that I put way too much water in it and the noodles just sank straight to the bottom. When we had to make the posters in class I thought it was really fun because you had to right write down all the information, print out labels and get your photos. And I thought my poster turned out really well. When we got to the day of the science expo I felt really confident but I was also a bit nervous because I was scared I would forget my information or mess up. After I had done everything and said my experiment to the judge I thought I did really well. The parents came after to look at all our experiments then that was the end of the day. If you would want to do this experiment at home this is what you'll need and have to do:
Apparatus:
* Water
* Vinegar
* 2 Vases
* Seedless Raisins
* Cooked noodles
* bicarbonate of soda or baking soda
* tea spoon
* Food coloring
Method:
- Add one cup of water to each vase and one cup of vinegar
- Then add the noodles to one and raisins to the other
- Then add 1 drop of food colouring of your choice
- And one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to each glass and see what happens next.
Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoy making this experiment!
