advent prayer

 Bestir, O Lord, Thy might, we pray thee and come; that, defended by Thee, we may deserve rescue from approaching dangers brought on by our sins, and being set free by Thee, obtain our salvation.

 Learn: We learnt how to make sherbet we are investigating and exploring chemical reactions

Create: We created sherbet to share with ourselves and our whanau/ family

Share: We have written the instructions on how to make sherbet here.  

In a bowl mix the ingredients 

Citric Acid ½ teaspoon

Icing Sugar 1 teaspoon

Baking soda ¼ teaspoon

Raro or some other  flavour ½ teaspoon 

Put in bag and mix 

When you taske it what do you observe: Sour, sweet,  fizz,  foam, chemical reaction, bubbly.

What is happening?  The baking soda is a base and the citric acid is an acid. The icing sugar and (Raro)  flavour and there or taste. As a solid the acid and the base do not react but in the presence of moisture (saliva) the citric acid and the baking soda react to give off carbon dioxide gas - this feels like a popping or fizzing sensation!
