The science behind the technique

spherification starts with dissolving sodium alginate and calcium lactate (sometimes called calcium chloride) in two separate liquids (one flavor and one normal liquid). The flavor one like eating flavor. Once the two are well dispersed in their respective liquids they are left to settle for a period to allow any trapped gases to be released, otherwise there will bubbles in the sphere. The next step is to take the flavoured solution using measuring spoons - and carefully squeeze drops of it into the water-based solution. The drops will instantaneously from a gel-coating once the two liquids come into contact. They are then left to 'cook' in the water-based solution; the length of time will depend on the desired thickness of the spheres membrane. Next the drops are removed and rinsed in a plain water-bath to remove excess calcium, which may inhibit 
the flavour. At this point the point the drops are ready to be served. 

SOCCER

my teams soccer day

on the 23/05/17 me Arman,  Callan,  Aidan,  
Cohen, Liam J, Josiah, Eoghain, Josh, Aman, 
David M,Myer U, Dan,  Went to huapai and 
played soccer. before we played soccer though 
we had to what 40 minutes cause other people 
where playing first already. We went to Jayden 
to get a soccer ball and then practice some of our 
passing a skills. after like 20 minutes we went and 
watched some of the other teams play so we know if there hard or not. when we got on to our first game we were very nervous and shivering cause they looked hard and there goal keeper looked like 15. The ref blu the whistle and we where off. on our last we played the best 3-1 to us we tied two and lost one is well but we still had fun that day. 

Chemical reaction

Was it a physical or chemical reaction and how do you know?


It is a chemical reaction because the chemical reactions can’t reverse, but physical reactions can reverse… for example ice can turn into water and water can turn into ice also steam can turn into water because they are still all water. But for chemical reactions. For example, when you put all the things to make a chemical reaction you can’t reverse all the things that you did cause there's so many different things that it confused it.
