Original 

Businesses and Enterprise.

 So this term we started to learn about marketing and banking so we could start planning and making our own business for business and enterprise. 

We firstly started off learning about banking and money with banqer which helped us understand all the basics with marketing. After we had done that we did some group projects about money and bills and all of that.

After we had learnt how to make a good business and how to look after it we started planning. My group was with Eduarda and Skyla. We all had jobs that we were set to do like CEO, the marketing manger, production manger , and the finance manger. I was the CEO so I had to make sure that our marketing was gonna work. For our business we decided to make clay rings and call our stand unique creations.

We made sure we were gonna make profit for the money we had and then started making. We made around 50 for 1.50 each. 

Then yesterday all of the groups went out and sold our stuff. There was a lot of cool ideas like pants,Christmas cards,lolly necklaces that I thought look pretty cool and way more. Our stall sold most of our stuff and make quite a lot of profit.

An acid is any hydrogen-containing substance that is capable of donating a proton (hydrogen ion) to another substance.  A base is a molecule or ion able to accept a hydrogen ion from an acid.

what do chemical indicators do?
