 * 1) (In keynote presentation)


 * 1) Friendship / Relationship is the most important thing to achieve in my life because if I or someone don’t have a relationship or friendship with people or bad relationships with people that can lead to suicide or depression, and those things come from people thinking they are not loved.


 * 1) Some lessons I have learnt from ‘The coffin trenches’ are,
 * To be thankful for what you’ve got : You have to be thankful for what you’ve got because firstly, you may not have everything you had tomorrow and some people become bratty because they think they don’t have the best stuff and they aren’t thankful for what they have.
 * To follow your dreams : You have to follow your dreams because it gives you an inspiration on what you want to do ect. and it makes you imagination grow bigger.
 * To believe : To believe is just like to follow your dreams though extend those dreams further, and make them come true.
 * To try your hardest in everything : As I have been told “Full pie is better than half pie” meaning try your hardest and you will achieve greater, and achieving greater is going to get you further in life.
 * Follow orders made by high respected people (Parents, teachers ect.) : You have to follow orders from people like your parents because you can get in trouble or get a punishment. Also you will become disobedient if you don’t follow simple orders.

Why does vinegar & baking soda fizz?

Baking soda and vinegar are two common materials found in almost every household. Plus the fact that all the materials used in the experiment are non hazardous and safe. In fact, this baking soda and vinegar reaction, has been widely used from public school science classes right up to the university level courses to analyze and demonstrate chemical reactions. The reaction between baking soda and vinegar is actually two reactions, an acid base reaction followed by a decomposition reaction. The acetic acid reacts with sodium bicarbonate to form carbonic acid. Carbonic acid is unstable, and it immediately falls apart into carbon dioxide and water. The bubbles you see from the reaction come from the carbon dioxide escaping the solution that is left. Carbon dioxide is heavier than air, so it flows almost like water when it overflows the container. That is the reason why vinegar and baking soda FIZZ!!!

Reflection : Today I learnt what really happens when baking soda and vinegar mix. I enjoyed working in pairs with Islah because I found it easier with her doing the reaserch and I was doing the writing.
