Science Lab

On Monday the 16th of November our classroom and other classroom went over to Pukekohe High School for the science lab introduction. When we were there we learn t about the stuff that we were going to be taught at high schools. The lab teacher gave us all booklets that we had to fill in. Things that were different from a classroom in this lab was that the desks were arranged differently. Als0 the surrounding were much different. Our first sort of lesson we had was having learn how to draw scientific tools. Then naming them and finding out what they do. Next we had to experiment with bunsen burner to a gas output and then lite a match to ignite the gas. This was very exciting. Next we had to experiment with the flame. The orange flame that came out first was the saftey flame. The next flame we experimented with was the blue flame. We created the blue flame by opening a air hole on the barrel of the Bunsen burner turning it blue. We then investigated which flame would be hotter. The blue flame was much hotter than the orange flame. Finally we experimeneted with chemical. We had to heat them over the Bunsen burner and waited until it changed colour. It started blue than went to orange.
