A product is a chemical that comes out of a chemical reaction and a reactant is a chemical that goes into a chemical reaction. ]]> 2016-07-26 01:20:38 UTC https://padlet.com/pdiciccio/makinggak/wish/116963410 https://padlet.com/pdiciccio/makinggak/wish/116963429 It was found that when you mix borax with PVA glue, it creates a reaction that forms 'GAK'. GAK is viscous, stretchy and Gelatinous. It was also found by other groups that some are solid and some are liquid.]]> 2016-07-26 01:20:56 UTC https://padlet.com/pdiciccio/makinggak/wish/116963429 https://padlet.com/pdiciccio/makinggak/wish/116963430 The GAK was made when the borax solution mixed with the PVA glue. This made a clumpy squishable gel. A chemical reaction occurred when the two properties were mixed with each other.]]> 2016-07-26 01:20:56 UTC https://padlet.com/pdiciccio/makinggak/wish/116963430 https://padlet.com/pdiciccio/makinggak/wish/116963442 The gak was made out of pva glue and food colouring. The gak was strechy and it was a gel. This means it wasn't a solid or a liquid but somemthing in the middle. This gel was a chemical reaction of the pva glue, the food colouring and the borax soloition  ]]> 2016-07-26 01:21:13 UTC https://padlet.com/pdiciccio/makinggak/wish/116963442 https://padlet.com/pdiciccio/makinggak/wish/116963443 Conclusion on making GAK: What we discovered is how to tell when a reaction has happened by observing the substance, and seeing if it has changed in certain ways like heat, colour, texture,etc. ]]> 2016-07-26 01:21:14 UTC https://padlet.com/pdiciccio/makinggak/wish/116963443 https://padlet.com/pdiciccio/makinggak/wish/116963461 This prac demonstrated an example of a chemical reaction using GAK. By mixing pva glue and borax solution, the chemical reaction made a slimy, stretchy, blue and watery substance known as GAK. The GAK was very different from the borax solution and the glue and was an interesting example of how chemical reactions work]]> 2016-07-26 01:21:28 UTC https://padlet.com/pdiciccio/makinggak/wish/116963461 https://padlet.com/pdiciccio/makinggak/wish/116963467 In the investigation "making gak" it was shown that mixing PVA glue and the borax solution would make a stretchy and Gelatinous blob of gak.

The reactants formed a stretchy and bouncy product that was a slow moving liquid. When a reaction occurs the appearance and properties of the product change.]]> 2016-07-26 01:22:15 UTC https://padlet.com/pdiciccio/makinggak/wish/116963515 https://padlet.com/pdiciccio/makinggak/wish/116963517 it was learnt that by adding borax solution to PVA glue it went from a liquid to a solid. It formed into a ball like object. It was found that it was not a solid it was a super slow moving liquid.

This made a squishy gel. This occurred because of a chemical reaction. A chemical reaction can happen when two different liquids or solids mix together.]]> 2016-07-26 01:23:38 UTC https://padlet.com/pdiciccio/makinggak/wish/116963609 https://padlet.com/pdiciccio/makinggak/wish/116963619 The experiment shows that by mixing two reactants it can create a chemical reaction and a new product is made.

The investigation started with us mixing together borax and PVA glue, this created a chemical reaction causing the glue quite quickly evolve more or less to a solid. Concluding the investigation we had a solid ball made of PVA glue and a hint of borax solution. Making the end product GAK]]> 2016-07-26 01:24:20 UTC https://padlet.com/pdiciccio/makinggak/wish/116963657 https://padlet.com/pdiciccio/makinggak/wish/116963667 The experiment 'Making GAK' explored how the mixing of certain reactants will cause a chemical relation to occur, and a product will be made. The properties of the GAK changed, therefore a chemical reaction occurring.  For the change to occur, borax and PVA glue were mixed together to create a solid.

The reaction occurs when the water and borax mixes with the PVA glue. The end product is GAK, a slimy and stretchy substance that slowly looses its shape after a short period of time. The GAK is somewhere between a solid and a liquid, which we call a gel.]]> 2016-07-26 01:24:57 UTC https://padlet.com/pdiciccio/makinggak/wish/116963685 https://padlet.com/pdiciccio/makinggak/wish/116963729 2016-07-26 01:25:27 UTC https://padlet.com/pdiciccio/makinggak/wish/116963729 https://padlet.com/pdiciccio/makinggak/wish/116963742 In conclusion this experiment showed us how to observe substances and how to tell when a chemical reaction occurs

The colour was kept the same with a light blue colour as it had not faded away when mixed. The liquid and solid created a solid that was squishy, blue and movable. ]]> 2016-07-26 01:27:49 UTC https://padlet.com/pdiciccio/makinggak/wish/116963892 https://padlet.com/pdiciccio/makinggak/wish/116964169 2016-07-26 01:31:22 UTC https://padlet.com/pdiciccio/makinggak/wish/116964169 https://padlet.com/pdiciccio/makinggak/wish/116964203  Pray was really interesting we made rubber balls called gak.
