Science - Orange Fizz – MUST ASK YOUR ADULT FIRST!Materials:
An Orange or Clementine
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda (any brand)Instructions:
1. Cut the orange into slices or peel separate into sections2. Dip a slice or section into the baking soda3. Take a bite! As you chew, it should start to bubble in your mouth
How does it work?When acids and bases mix, you get some exciting chemistry! Oranges and other citrus fruits are filled with citric acid. It is a safe acid, and it’s what gives oranges, lemons, and limes their sourness. Baking soda is a base, the opposite of an acid. It’s also safe, but doesn’t taste very good on it’s own, and will give you a tummy ache if you eat a lot of it. As the citric acid and baking soda mix, it makes millions of carbon dioxide bubbles, the same gas you breathe out, and the same one that makes soda so fizzy.Video: https://youtu.be/qWBxKXoJ8ZU Remember to take a video/picture of your experiment and tag us on Twitter @Year6Kingsley

Kingsley Home Learning Week 7
Little Miss Muffet is a well known nursery rhyme. You may well have heard it before. There are a number of different versions of the rhyme but this one is the most popular.Little Miss MuffetSat on a tuffet*,Eating her curds and whey**,There came a big spider,Who sat down beside herAnd frightened Miss Muffet away.
*What is a tuffet?Miss Muffet may have been sitting on a small grassy mound – a tuft of soft grass. Another possible meaning of a tuffet is a 'three-legged stool'. In some versions of the rhyme, Miss Muffet is sitting on a cushion or a buffet – a word for stool from the north of England.**What are curds and whey?In the process of making cheese, milk is mixed with a substance called rennet. The result of this is that the milk turns into curds, which are solid like lumps in cottage cheese, and whey which is a watery liquid.
Who was Miss Muffet?
Miss Muffet was a real person! Her name was Patience Muffet and she was the daughter of a Dr. Thomas Muffet who lived between 1553 and 1604. Although almost every child in Britain has heard of Little Miss Muffet, the history books tell us much more about her father than they do about Patience herself. As well as being a medical doctor, Dr. Muffet was fascinated by the world of insects and spiders, a subject that people had not studied much up to that time. He wrote two books:
The Silkwormes and their Flies;The Theater of Insects and Lesser Living Creatures.
He admired silk worms so much that he was inspired to write the first of these two books in verse.

Why did Miss Muffet run away?In those days it was thought that spiders could help cure illness. Some people used to wear a spider in a nutshell when that had a high temperature and others believed that swallowing a spider wrapped in a ball of butter could help them get better. It is thought that Dr. Muffet was interested in finding out whether spiders could be used to cure the common cold. It is said that he used to treat his daughter with spiders when she was ill.
