science experiment

Purpose/question: What makes a bigger eruption?

Researcatched youtube video, 124  grams of baking soda, 115.56 grams of vinegar (less used in video),  was not a big explosion

Hypothesis: More vinegar is needed for a larger eruption.

Experiment: In cup A we used more baking soda and less vinegar. In cup B we used an equal amount of baking soda and vinegar.  In cup C we used more vinegar and less baking soda.

Analysis:  After we conducted the experiment we found cup A reachhed  a  height  of 8 lines. In cup B we found that it reached 8 lines  as well. Cup C reached the highest height with 15 lines which filled the whole cup!

Conclusion  You need more vinegar than baking soda to get a  bigger eruption.

My History Project

• Celts celebrated a festival called Samhain (pronounced “sah-win”), the end of the harvest (season) (Oct. 31st) 
• October 31st was Celts new year and was the one day (or magical time) when ghosts walked the earth
• The Celts would make a big bonfire to make the ghosts go back to the spirit world
• Halloween came to America in the 1840's with the Irish (increase is Irish immigration because of the potato famine
• They shared bobbing for apples and playing tricks and shared that with America
• Tricks turned into vandalism. To stop the vandalism, children were encouraged to go to the neighbors front door and ask for candy instead. 

• Masks were used to hide kid's faces for when they went to trick people
• It's different from the day of the dead- Halloween has candy and people are fearful of the dead. Day of Dead celebrates the dead and welcomes the dead back into their home.
