     Why plastic is so bad!  We have to stop polluting.

Today I had to research why plastic is so bad for our planet. I already knew lots about this topic because mum talks about it often at home. She likes being very healthy.  And my brother Tyler likes to pick up litter at the beach to save the animals. I enjoyed this activity because it was easy for me to think of all of my facts. What do you do at home to reduce plastic??

Fizz Inflator!!!!

Today was a fun task. We got to make a fizz inflator. 

I had to find a small water bottle as the man in the video said smaller bottles worked best. 

Then fill it ¾ the way with white vinegar. 

Then I had to pour some baking soda into a balloon with a funnel. This was hard because the baking soda had lumps in it and kept getting stuck. 

Then the really hard part was trying to stick the balloon over the bottle without pouring the baking soda in. I was nervous to do it so my mum helped me..

Then I tipped the balloon up and the baking soda fell into the bottle of vinegar. And a chemical reaction happen and it started to fizz. All the air in the fiz blew up the balloon.

This was so cool. 

I have done these explosions before with my mum in the sandpit making a volcano when i was little

Next time i think i would use less baking soda so it doesn't overflow and fill the balloon up with vinegar.

 

 

 compost

What is compost?

Rotting, decomposing plants, leaves and food scraps and other organic matter. All of these break down into a special dirt which is called 'compost'. This is rich in plant nutrients and beneficial organisms made up of worms and fungus. 

What is compost used for?

Compost is used in gardens and around plants because it enriches the soil, helps retain moisture. stops pests from eating your plants and can stop your plants from dying of certain diseases. 

By using compost in your garden it reduces the need to use chemical fertilizers.
