Ingredients:

a cup of milk
two tablespoon of sugar
1/2 a teaspoon of vanilla extract
I put chocolate syrup :o) ( a choice you have)
salt and ice
Procedure
put a cup full of milk in a ziploc bag. then add two tablespoons of sugar.
Then 1/2 a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Add your chocolate syrup into the bad. Then make sure that no air is in the ziploc bag, and make sure to cloe it correctly.
Get a bigger bag fill it with ice and salt,put the smaller ziploc bag in the bigger bag.
Shake and mix until ur ice cream is ready!!!!


SCIENCE???

when the salt and walter are combine, and are near liquid, it will make the liquid into solid because of the temperature!

Chemistry Standard 11e

Standard 11e:Students know alpha, beta, and gamma radiation produce different amounts and kinds of damage in matter and have different penetrations

So there are three types of radiation ALPHA, BETA, and GAMMA
Information about the types of radiation

Alpha Radiation:
a type of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits analpha particle, and thereby transforms (or 'decays') into an atom with a mass number 4 less and atomic number 2 less.


sign: α

Their Damage:
*Alpha radiation is not able to penetrate skin
*Alpha-emitting materials can be harmful to humans if they are inside the body,in your system.


Beta Radiation:
a type of radioactive decay in which a beta particle (an electron or a positron) is emitted.

In the example of electron emission, it is referred to as beta minus (β⁻),

In a positron, emission as beta plus (β+)



Sign: β

Their Damage:
*Beta radiation can have a bearable penetration but it you have too much it can be harmful
*Beta radiation can penetrate human skin to the "germinal layer," where new skin cells are produced

Gamma Radiation:
is electromagnetic radiation of high frequency (very short wavelength)

Also knows as Gamma rays



Sign: γ

Their Damage:
*Gamma radiation is able to travel many centimeters in human tissue and in the air as well.
*X-rays are like gamma rays as well.
They can too be a penetrating radiation.

Mini Project numero DEUX! Co-Mentos

Ingredients


Minted flavored Mentos
Diet coke


Directions:

Open a liter of diet coke
put mentos in it really fast
step away and experience the awesomeness of what to reactants can do!


Science:
Dropping some Mentos into the bottle, putting aat least more than four, causes the Diet Coke to foam at a rapid rate and spew into the air. The mentos take away the carbon dioxide from the diet coke making it explode and look like a fire cracker!

Field Trip!! :o)

Okay we had our very first field trip in Chem. I honestly can say it was okay i really didnt enjoy it cause i wasnt wearing the appropriate clothing for it but it was tiring. I couldnt really embrace the or picture what Mr.Olson wanted to see. I was with some classmates so it made it enjoyable, so it was nice to see. The one thing that was really interesting that there were a lot of different trees in the canyon, and different forms of it as well. Next time is should be better organized, and more structure on what we are looking for.

Mini Project numero UNO! making play doh!

photo credit: Karissa Lobos

Ingredients
2-3 cups Flour

1 and 1/2 cups Salt

2-3 cups Water

2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil

1 tablespoons Cream of tartar

few drops Food coloring few drops( i chosed pink ;o)

Directions/procedure:

Mix ALL of the ingredients in a large saucepan.
Cook over medium low heat, until the dough comes away from the edges of the pan and it becomes difficult to move the spoon.
Remove from heat. Let it cool down and then it can be handled.
Place on counter or wax paper knead 3-4 times.
if its still mushy and still sticks on your hand add some more flour and salt and mix it
Store in an air tight container.


NOW THE CIENCA part!


When we are making the playdoh, it's hot, so when we touch it, it's all squishy and very flexible. But, if we leave it out and let it cool, the molecules packs up and then it hardens, so when we touch it, it is hard. The heat releases when the temperature cools down
