__** Rata Information **__ This is about what I saw when I observed the rata plant.

Before this is some **__more__** information on the Rata and Pohutukawa


 * When the leaves are dry they are furry
 * When the leaves are wet they feel like jelly
 * Pohutukawa leaves are pointed
 * Rata leaves are round
 * When the rata bursts the bud looks like a rounded star
 * The purple stems are furry when dry
 * There is one tall red thing in the middle ofe each one and shorter ones on the outside
 * There are little black things on the top of the tall red things
 * When the tall things have pollen on them they are yellow
 * The buds are grouped
 * The fur looks like ice
 * The tall red things are spiked up
 * The tall red things can fall off easy
 * The buds look like flowers
 * Pohutukawa is a darker shade

**__Cabbage Juice Experiment__**​ Me and my class did an experiment with red cabbage juice. Let's take a look at it!!!



**__Materials To Make Red Cabbage Juice__** __**Procedure**__
 * red cabbage
 * blender or knife
 * boiling water
 * filter paper (coffee filters work well)
 * One large glass beaker or other glass container
 * Six 250 mL beakers or other small glass containers
 * household ammonia (NH3)
 * baking soda (sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3)
 * washing soda (sodium carbonate, Na2CO3)
 * lemon juice (citric acid, C6H8O7)
 * vinegar (acetic acid, CH3COOH)
 * cream of tartar (Potassium bitartrate, KHC4H4O6)
 * antacids (calcium carbonate, calcium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide)
 * seltzer water (carbonic acid, H2CO3)
 * muriatic acid or masonry's cleaner (hydrochloric acid, HCl)
 * lye (potassium hydroxide, KOH or sodium hydroxide, NaOH)
 * 1) Chop the cabbage into small pieces until you have about 2 cups of chopped cabbage. Place the cabbage in a large beaker or other glass container and add boiling water to cover the cabbage. Allow at least ten minutes for the color to leach out of the cabbage. (Alternatively, you can place about 2 cups of cabbage in a blender, cover it with boiling water, and blend it.)
 * 2) Filter out the plant material to obtain a red-purple-bluish colored liquid. This liquid is at about pH 7. (The exact color you get depends on the pH of the water.)
 * 3) Pour about 50 - 100 mL of your red cabbage indicator into each 250 mL beaker.
 * 4) Add various household solutions to your indicator until a color change is obtained. Use separate containers for each household solution - you don't want to mix chemicals that don't go well together!


 * __ Green Eggs Experimen t __**

The pigments in red cabbage are called anthocyanins. These make the colour change because of the acidity. The Red Cabbage Juice is a purple-red under acid surounded conditions but goes a blue-green when in alkaline conditions. Egg whites are alkaline so when the red cabbage juice is on/in the egg whites it turns green. ​

 __**Germs/Pathogens**__

In term 3 we studied germs and what they do to you.

Some of the names of body cells that help you are are: helper t cells, killer t cells, macrophage, b cells.
