What is Caesin and what is it used for?

Casein is a slow-digesting dairy protein that people often take as a supplement. It releases amino acids slowly, so people often take it before bed to help with recovery and reduce muscle breakdown while they sleep. Several studies have shown it helps boost muscle growth, along with a ton of other benefits.

Instruction:

1. Get all your equipment ready.
2. spread out the skittles around the edge of your petri dish
3. gently poor the warm water into the middle of the petri dish
4. Observe what happens

Results:

discussion: 

why did the colour leave the skittles? 

Because Skittles are coated in food colouring and sugar and when you pour water over the skittles the coloured coat dissolves spreading through the water and making a cool pattern. 

Why did the colours not mix?

Because The warm water causes the colouring and sugar to dissolve and diffuse through the water. The reason the colours do not initially mix is due to water sheet thickness in colours..

The Heathcote River in Christchurch has broken its banks by Clarendon Terrace, and a number of streets in central Christchurch are closed due to flooding.The council said the next high tide at 8pm was likely to bring fresh flooding to the city."Most of the flooding that we had so far has been related to the king tides," council spokesperson Tim Drennan said If anyone living close to a river or waterway felt unsafe, they should self-evacuate.

Also The council was urging people to drive slowly if they need to be out on the road, so that water is not pushed onto people's properties.
