Do-you-know facts
Chemicals can be acidic, neutral or basic depending on how many hydrogen ions they have.
Hydrogen ions are really just protons, a small particle that has a positive charge.
Scientists can find out whether a chemical is acidic, neutral or basic by testing its pH.
They use a special paper, called litmus paper, to do the pH test.

Credits Our 10 Steps to test soil
1. Wash apparatus with distilled water. 3. Add distilled water into beaker and stir. 4. Placed the folded filter paper on top of a new beaker.  5. Pour the mixture into the filtered paper.  6. Wait for mixture to be filtered.  7. Use a dropper to place various test solutions and paper into six different test tubes. 8. Use another dropper to place filtrate into the six test tubes. 
9. Use tweezer to take tested paper out of the test tube to place in zip lock bag 10. Take pictures of tested solution. Soil Pictures Locations

Sunday, February 26, 2006 Hello people, I am here to update. Isn't is great? I'm updating! :DFriday, 27th February Hi, I digged soil with new shovels. YAY. I met huimui at the room too. I think she is collecting data. AND, I am going to give you stickers to label your own soil. PLEASE. :D Pretty pretty pretty pleeease. I shall count in mrchua's vote. Its a GOOD idea. Benefits me. Heeeee. MONDAY MONDAY MONDAY. Meeeeting. :D I forgot the time. There isn't a time. RIGHT? OH! Its 1500? I shall confirm sooon. I am sorry about the maps. Truly, sincerely, sorry. Should we use image station? :D Monday, February 20, 2006 Today we met up at the geog room for to do some LATEST job arrangement.Pangping collect soil at Block 187 Shuqin collect soil at Block 187 Huimui collect soil at Block 187 Penny and Jiawen collect soil at School Compound and Data Sunday, February 19, 2006 Friday, 17th FeburaryWe had a meeting, only Huimui and Penny came. So anyway, I collected soil. And we assigned duties and close case. Huimui is going settle the table, WHEEE. Meeting is next NEXTMonday, after the common test Wednesday, February 15, 2006 Hello,LUNCH meeting, totally sponsored by MRCHUA! WE would all like to thank you! THANK YOU, Mr Chua! :D OKAY, anyway. We tested soil, updated log book and blog. The cauculation team have already finished caculating! So fast! HM brought back the laptop, lucky her. So, check out the new stuff I did. :) And COMMENT. Say its nice, please. HA HA. And as a encouragement, there is no extra ******* lessons tomorrow! Okay, its totally out of point. Tomorrow, we will continue testing the soil since there is no.., YA. AND Friday, we will start analysing the data. HOPEFULLY. I updated the scheldule too. (: Byebye. Tuesday, February 14, 2006 Hello, I updated the Observation column.Lunch meeting tomorrow, YAY. Saturday, February 11, 2006 Changing of original hypothesisthe project was alright so far, though we failed half way, we came up with more new ideas, planned to work on a new hypothesis. the first plan was to test the soil's ph level, we will usually collect soil from our school compound. Then we will test the soil's ph level using different indicators, such as; Blue Litmus Papers, Red Litmus Papers, Universal Indicator, Bromothymyl Blue Solution, phenel something and Methyl orange. But after several tests were done, the ph level of the soil seems to be the same througout, we had the sample indicators in the log book itself. all of the indicators indicated that the ph level for the soil was near neutral. around say, ph 7. so we thought it would be boring if we couldnt conclue something that people dont know, or some facts that maybe we conclude, then prove it out to let people know. that way the whole project would be much more interesting. of course you will know that the soil's ph level is affected by its surrounding, wheather is it rain, wind, or anything of the weather. However, knowing that the ph level of the SCHOOL'S soil is neutral we decided to make use of soil from different locations, (maps of different loaction would be up soon.) if you'd realise, the different locations are all located in the west, nearer to the industrial area- JURONG ISLAND. from this point, we can find out wheather the industrial area will contribute factors that affect the soil. YES ! what a great idea you'll say. so come back to find out more about how industrial areas will affect the soil quality. pictures will be posted. find out about our experiments from the more information section. or just simply click here. HERE. Thursday, February 02, 2006 Been trying our best to do all the tests.. BUt still have some haven't done yet because our members keep on falling sick.. Now we left with two more tests to go..I seriously got to admire Jiawen and Penny, they are the one been working real hard because the other 3 been falling sick.. Ok, that's all for the time being.. I been sick lately so didn't know much but still got help la.. :P | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
