The Ocean and It's Mysteries

Hello my lovelies! I hope you all are ready for this blog about the ocean. Get down there and read! Enjoy!

So over the past few weeks, we have been doing science. I was away for most of it, but I joined a group with my close friends. Our question was, does the ocean have layers? And our sub question was, do fish drown? We created a magical jar full of different substances, and seeing if they layer. We had corn syrup, water dish detergent, rubbing alcohol and water. All of these ingredients were combined with water and food colouring to make our masterpiece. As you can tell, it was very risky using food colouring in a hub filled with children. And our colour was no better. There was a teeny spillage on the stainless steel, but it was gone with a swipe of a paper towel. We successfully completed our mixing after a long time of getting colours and measurements right. Last thing we did was label them in this order starting from the bottom, trench, abyss, midnight, twilight and sunlight. Next thing we did was our sub question, do fish drown? We put different objects things such as nails, foam bullets, marbles, bead and a bouncy ball. We were testing what different layers each object would float or sink too. Next we had to make a graph, here is mine showing where each item went
As you can see, none of the items went into midnight or abyss. I think this is because none of the items we dropped had the right weight to go into those two. I'm not sure, I'm no scientist. Anyways, I think this was a great experience because all of the students who are going to high school need to get prepared for science and other chemistry classes. I really enjoyed doing science this term!

Thanks so much for reading this blog today! Have you ever done a science project? If so comment your answer and tell me what you did! Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed. Bye! ❤️
