BLACK SNAKE SCIENCE EXPERIMENT

MY HYPOTHESIS:

I think the sugar and baking soda will dissolve and will turn into a black tall snake because it burns the sugar.

MATERIALS:

• Bowl
• Matches/Lighter
• Squirty bottle (for meths)
• Tray

• Sand
• Sugar
• Baking soda
• Water

METHOD:

1. Put the sand in the bowl and make sure it is flat.
2. Mix the baking soda and the sugar together in the cup.
3. Squirt the methylated spirits in the middle of the sand.
4. Pour the baking soda and the sugar on top of the sand.
5. Squirt the methylated spirits around the edge of the sand.
6. Grab a lighter or a match and light the baking soda and sugar on fire.

OBSERVATIONS:

1. I saw fire

2. baking soda and sugar burns.

3. a black snake started to evolve

4. the flames stopped and the black snake stopped.
