Aim: I want to find out how long meat can be preserved?

Method: Try to preserve meat with salt, sugar, and honey.

Which of these ingredients will preserve the meat the best?

1. Put 1 piece of beef the size of a potato into a zip-lock bag and then put salt into the bag.

2. Then put the next piece of beef same size as the last into a zip-lock bag and then put sugar into the bag.

3.Finally put the last piece of beef the same size as the last two into a zip-lock bag and then put honey into the bag.

Observations:
Conclusion:

Honey Meat.

"The honey meat looked like a raw juicy piece of meat."

"The honey meat smelt like honey."

"The honey meat felt like a normal piece of meat."

"The honey meat sounded like a squishy plastic bag."

1 week later.

"the meat looked human feces and smelt so bad I can't even explain it, also it felt like tender hunky meat."

Discussion:

What I found out: Meat must be dried before preservation.
I found out that salt, sugar and honey can kill bacteria. Salt drys out bacteria.
You can dry out meat with salt.
Why was my meat rancid. My meat was rancid because there was still moisture in the meat.
What can I do next? Restart the procedure but to hang up the meat.

How to be safe in Science

Planning
Aim. I want to find out how to be safe in Science.
Equipment: Bucket,
Detergent,
Gas,
Tube,
Cold water,
Safety goggles,
tap,
gas tap,
lighter.

Method:

Get a big bucket/box.
Get liquid soap/detergent and put in a good amount.
Fill bucket halfway with cold water.
Pull your sleeve's up, take off loose clothing , tie up your long hair- if you have long hair.
Make sure you have safety goggles and put them on!!
Connect the tube up to the gas tap, and then put the other end end of the tube in the water.
Turn on the gas and make some bubbles.
Wet your hands, wrist and forearm/ wet your hands up to your elbows.
Get a scoop of bubbles.
Hold the bubbles away from your face.
Using a lighter, ignite the bubbles from the bottom.
Slowly open your hands.

Doing

This is a photo of my friend Cole.
He says it "It smelt like a burning erosion of asparagus, and it felt like I was going to get burnt because I had fire in front of my precious face. Then he talked about how it looked he said" it looked like a flame ball blow up."Cole then said"I could hear the flame ball explode."

Explaining
Why does hot air rise. Hot air rises because when you heat up air it expands when the air expands it becomes less dense then the air around it. The less dense hot air then floats in the more dense cold air like how wood floats on water because its less dense.

Why is gas flammable? flammable and combustible liquids do not burn themselves. It is the mixture of their vapors and air that burns. Gasoline, with a flashpoint of -40°C (-40°F), is a flammable liquid. Even at temperatures as low as -40°C (-40°F), it gives off enough vapour to form a burnable mixture in air.

To Elaine

I am writing this to you because of the phenomenal trip I had at Orana Park learning all about the animals and facts about taxidermist and endangered animals.

I would like to come back again and learn more about the animals I couldn't visit. All of the animals were nice and chill, but my favorite animal was the the gorilla it was laid back and funny.

I wish that I could see all of the animals and learn all about them.

Yours Sincerely. Aron
