Sugar Experiment (Tech)

Today was the first day back at tech for Term 3! . It was a bad day today because it was raining very badly so that meant that we had to walk in the rain to Tech. Me,Jane,Faiana,Ngwe Sin and Danait walked together because it was not raining but on our way to Tech when we were halfway it was raining my clothes were damp but lucky I had a rain jacket on!.

For Tech today we learnt about Sugary things and how much teaspoons or tablespoons of sugar there are in Fizzy Drinks, Lollies and Juices. 

There were three types of sugars we learnt about which was:
1. Glucose - Normal Sugar (White Sugar)
2. Lactose -  Milk 
3. Fructose - Is the sugar in Fruit Drinks or lollies

Then we did a Experiment: 

Equipment - Fire Butane, Coke, Meter Cup, and a cage thing for to place the cup on!

Aim - We were trying to turn the coke into sugar by boiling the coke by a Fire Butane

Method - First we lit up the Fire Butane by connecting it to a gas pipe (Our Teacher did it). Then we added 50ml of coke into the meter cup. Finally we placed it on top of a cage thing that helped hold the cup! . Then the coke was boiling

Results - Our group is results was a SUCCESS which means the coke boiled and was completely SUGAR! . It smelt like Candy Floss but burnt, the sugar was so hard Miss Sharma had to boil it with Vinegar!!
