Recount- Beachlands being chased by gorillas

Being chased by “gorillas”

“Wait what are those”

It was evening and us three nine year olds were ready to go get dinner. Ashley, Caroline and I launched ourselves into the car waiting for Carolines mum Katie to finish locking up the L shaped house. When Katie reached the car a few moments later, we buckled our seatbelts excitedly. We were getting hashbrowns and ice cream for dinner and dessert.

“LOOK OVER THERE!” Caroline exclaimed.

“What,” answered Ashley and I searching around out the window.

“Gorillas,” Caroline said and then we all chuckled wildly. The gorillas were tall figures. They were a light grey but had different features that were a pitch black. We bounced in our seats laughing our heads off. Some of the gorillas had their masks off since it was hot. 

The gorillas waved as they noticed us staring and shrieking with laughter. The gorillas began to jog slightly following everywhere the car turned. We twisted our bodies to see the act behind us. The jog gradually changed into a sprint chasing the car. We waved extravagantly, our hands thwacking together. We noticed that they were getting closer and our hearts were beating fast with fear, shock and excitement. They neared even more and their fingers were centimeters away from sliding them down the shiny car. Then suddenly one of them tried to dive onto the car but only it’s arms managed to clutch then soon it lost grip . 

Katie, who was looking from the side view mirror, laughed her head off at the gorillas running; she thought they were ridiculous until the jump. After the gorilla tried to jump Katie went quiet for a moment or two. Caroline,Ashley and I  got such a fright, our whole body was stuck to the back of the seat like some put a fan on full and stuck it in our faces. After that fearful moment the gorillas stopped to take a breath and as we kept driving they faded away until they were no longer seen.

We had arrived at the countdown car park and had found a spot.” wait here girls I won’t be long ``Katie said. The look in katies eye telling us don’t sneak out of the car and don’t be silly. After we had lost sight of Katie we took our seatbelts off and started dancing around. I climbed into the front seat thinking I’m the driver. Then I noticed the hefty gorillas strolling past staring in at us. I sunk all the way down in my seat, my cheeks blushing furiously. I was so embarrassed. The gorillas sniggered at me. I turned my face away, looking back at my friends for help but they just laughed. I didn’t turn my face around until my friends signalled me that they were gone. OMG they had to walk past then I thought to myself as my friends continued laughing.

When Katie arrived back at the car we told her and she chuckled as well. 

“That’s funny!” Katie said as I groaned. We drove home giggling and dancing. We then talked and processed what just happened. That moment we will remember forever. Hopefully we won’t come face to face with them again. That was a crazy scary moment.

I designed this art work for a tile in the new train station (city rail link)

baking soda and vinegar experiment

                                                Baking soda and vinegar experiment 

Question - What I want to find out We are trying to find out what happens when baking soda and vinegar combine We are trying to find out if there will be a chemical reaction

Materials  vinegar  Baking soda  Bottle   Cork

Hypothesis - What I think will happen  I predict that it will bubble up alot and finally explode

Method - How I did the experiment  First, I added the baking soda to the bottle using a funnel Second, I added some vinegar to the bottle  Then, I quickly removed the funnel Next, added the cork to the top  Finally, then waited

Observations - What actually happened (be really detailed - smell, colour, gases, heat, sound, movement) At first the vinegar was still flowing down to the bottom When the vinegar was mixed with the baking soda it turned bubbly and some bubbles started to pop as more came along, whilst it bubbled it started to rise it rose very high until... There was a Bang and a Pop it pushed off the lid and sprayed out.

Conclusion - Explain what happened and why (you should research and read trustworthy websites before writing this part) When the two mixtures combine together the molecules from each material mixed as well which caused a chemical reaction. The first reaction Is when the vinegar first meets the baking soda and what happened was the hydrogen ions from the vinegar react to the sodium and other ions in the baking soda it becomes carbonic acid (carbon dioxide forms carbonic acid when dissolved in water) carbonic acid is a gas a very strong gas that can extinguishes fires. This gas builds up inside the bottle and gets stronger and once all the gas has reached the top it explodes which would be the second chemical reaction in this experiment.

Variables: What if…? (Think about what you could do differently if you tried this experiment again (changing an ingredient, changing when or where your experiment takes place, etc). What if I added more vinegar? What if I added less baking soda? What if I used cocoa instead of baking soda? What if I used lemonade instead of vinegar?

Measuring cups 

Measuring spoons 

A pot /  saucepan

2. Now set the oven to 170 degrees 

3. Grab the sugar, oats, desiccated coconut, flour and a bowl

4. In the bowl pour 1 cup of sugar then 1 cup of oats then a cup of desiccated coconut and finally add 1 cup of all purpose flour

5. Now with your hands roll your hands through a little bit

6. Cut off 115 g of butter and put it in the pot on the stove

7. In the same pot add two tablespoons of golden syrup

8. While they melt, in another bowl put 1 tablespoon of baking soda and a little bit of hot water 
9. Now mix the water and baking soda until mixed completely 

10.  Pour the water and baking soda into the pot with the butter and golden syrup

11. Mix those wet ingredients together until smooth and thoroughly mixed 

12. Add the wet mixture to the dry and use the spoon to mix 

13. After the mixture is formed together put your hands in and grab a bit

14. Roll the bit in your hand until in a firm ball 

15. After you roll it put on the tray that has baking paper covering it 

16. Leave space in between each so they can spread

17. This will mean you might have to do several different sets of biscuits in the oven

18. After you’ve put them on the tray push them down slightly so they spread better

19. Put them in the oven and leave them there for 10- 12 minutes

20.  They should look golden brown and crispy around the edges.
