EXPERIMENT TIME!

MATERIALS NEEDED

2 glasses25ml of honey100 ml of warm water1 teaspoon of sugar1 teaspoon of flour
1 Google presentation with all your findings

Aim

 To observe how fast different energy forms are dissolved.

Hypothesis

Sugar particles are smaller than carbohydrate particles.

Copy and answer these questions in your presentation before you start:

 

a) Which substance will dissolve into the blood more quickly?

b) Which do you think gives us energy more quickly, sugary foods or carbohydrates?

Method 

1. Mix the honey and warm water together. This mixture represents our blood.

2. Put 100 ml of the mixture into each glass.

3. Gently sprinkle the sugar into one glass and the flour into the other glass with the water and honey mixture.

4. Carefully observe both glasses. Which substance dissolves first?

Results 

a) What type of food is absorbed more quickly, sugary foods or carbohydrates?

Answer: Sugary foods / carbohydrates are absorbed more quickly into the blood.

b) Which food is best if we need energy quickly? Which is best if we need energy for a longer period of time? Why?

Answer: The best food for quick energy / energy over a long period of time is...

Take pictures of your experiment and share them in your presentation, explaining the steps of a scientific process.
