Making Sherbet

 Aim:

I want to find out how to make sherbet.

Research:


Method:

Equipment:

Icing sugar and Raro
  • Cup ( or any other sort of container)
  • Citric Acid or Tartaric Acid
  • Baking powder
  • Popsicle stick for mixing
  • Teaspoon

Instructions:

  1. Get all of your equipment ready.
  2. Add one teaspoon of sugar/raro to the cup.
  3. Add half a teaspoon of acid to the cup.
  4. Add half a teaspoon of baking powder to the cup.
  5. Mix with the stick.
  6. Taste the sherbet, and adjust the flavour.

Results:
There was no reaction in the cup.
The powder dissolved in my mouth and then it fizzed up in my mouth.

The scientific word for fizzing is effervescence.

Discussion:
Why did it foam up in your mouth?
It foamed up in my mouth because of the chemical reaction called carbon dioxide (gas)
