1 | My science investigation TOPIC Senses of the tongue | ||||||||
2 | My investigation question Can my tongue in the blind test still know the taste? Is any role in my eyes in tasting Hypothesis - Does everyone have the same type of taste buds
| ||||||||
3 | Background research and knowledge I will explore as a backdrop to my investigation Taste Buds Taste buds are sensory organs that are found on your tongue and allow you to experience tastes that are sweet, salty, sour, and bitter. ... Those tiny hairs send messages to the brain about how something tastes, so you know if it's sweet, sour, bitter, or salty. Taste sensitivity Taste sensitivity can be defined as the minimum concentration at which the subject is able to perceive a specific taste quality, such as sweet, sour, salty and bitter\ | ||||||||

Technology/Topic 8 - Acids & Bases.
Topic 8 - Acids & Bases
Background:
It is important that I understand the basics of pH before beginning this topic
What is pH? - pH is a measure of how acidic/basic water
How do you measure pH? - The pH can be measured using litmus paper or colorimeters
What is the scale pH is measured on? -
Task 2 - Notes
Ph scale only goes up to 14 no more,
Baking Soda.
Cleaning Powders.
Soap.
Toothpaste
Shampoo
yogurt
Vinegar
lemon juice
apples
Orange
Aim: Test the pH levels in the different household products.
Products:
Baking Soda
Distilled water
Toilet bowl cleaner
Lemon juice
Milk
Orange juice
Apple Juice
Detergent
Tea/Coffee
Vinegar.
Equipment:
Well plate
Litmus Paper
pH chart/table 1 to 14
Dropper
Red Litmus Paper is Acid -
Blue Litmus Paper is Base
Neutral - stays the same
Blue Litmus Paper put in acid turns red
Red Litmus Paper put in base turns blue
Substance | Acide/Base (Prediction) | Colour changes from? (Litmus paper is Blue ) | Result (Acid/Base) |
Detergent | Base | 7 | Neutral |
Vinegar | Acide | 1 | Acid |
Lemon Juice | Acide | 1 | Acid |
Apple Juice | Acide | 1 | Acid |
Orange Juice | Acide | 1 | Acid |
Window cleaner | Base | 14 | Neutral |
Toilet cleaner | Base | 7 | Base |
Distilled Water | Neutral | 7 | Neutral |
Milk | Neutral | 7 | Neutral |
Tea | Neutral | 3 | Acid |
Baking Soda | Neutral | 12 | Neutral |
Method:
Tested the Blue and Red Litmus paper in Acid, Base and Neutral liquids to see if the would changer colour or not and used the pH scale to see what colour they were so that we could tell if it was base, neutral or acid

Topic 7 - Omosis and Transpiration in Plant.
Topic 7: Omosis and Transpiration.
Task 1
Photosynthesis - Food
Co2 + H20 Sunlight Sugar + o2
Source of carbon - humans & animals
Roots absorb water
Phloem is a special type of cell to distribute food/sugar to different parts of a plant.
Stomata are tiny pores on leaves to help absorb Co2
Celeri & Food Colouring Experiment:
See water movement from roots to the leaves through xylem.
Supplies for experiment:
Celeri
Water
Conical flask
Food Colouring
Method:
Fill a Conical Flask with approximately 200 mls of water.
Then taking any food colouring of your choice and adding 10 drops to the conical flask filled with water. You then take 2 pieces of celery, cut equally and add to your conical flask and stir, then take a clear plastic bag and wrap it around the leaf, then you twist it using a twist tie.
Observation:
What I am going to see as an outcome from this experiment is hopefully the xylem by the water moving to the leaf.
