KUTAK ZA MLADE PRIRODWAKE

Ure|uje: Dr. Majda \or|evi} Likovni prilog: Shane Abramson Dragi mladi prirodwaci, ovoga puta }ete nau~iti kako da izvedete hemijsku reakciju izme|u rastvora sode bikarbone i rastvora sir}eta. Proizvodi te reakcije su voda i gas ugqen dioksid, CO 2. CO 2 nije mnogo rastvorqiv u vodi, a lak{i je od we. Zbog toga se stvoreni mehuri}i CO 2 diù kroz vodu, prsnu kada stignu do povr{ine i CO 2 se pome{a sa vazduhom. Tu pojavu moèmo da posmatramo u svim gaziranim pi}ima. Pre nego {to otvorimo bocu takvog pi}a, moèmo da vidimo mehuri}e CO na 2 zidovima boce. Jedna koli~ina CO 2 je ve} izdvojena u prostoru iznad te~nosti i cepa i uzrok je povi{enog pritiska na tom mestu. Kada otvorimo bocu, CO 2 naglo izlazi i proizvodi zvuk sli~an {i{tawu. Ako slu~ajno protresemo bocu pre nego {to je otvorimo, toliki }e se pritisak stvoriti da }e, nakon otvarawa boce, CO 2 potisnuti i te~nost van boce i sve okolo poprskati. Mi }emo ovu pojavu iskoristiti da izvedemo eksperiment pod naz ivom ,,za~arane {pagete,,.

Eksperiment:

Potreban materijal: staklenka od 1 litra (na primer od tur{ije), supena ka{ika, voda, prehrambene boje, soda bikarbona, belo sir}e (za salatu),

3 duga~ke, suve, nekuvane {pagete

Postupak: Sipaj oko 750 ml vode u staklenku i oboji je prehrambenim bojama, po èqi. Na primer: 2 kapi crvene i 2 kapi ùte da}e naranyastu boju, pa }e te~nost izgledati kao oranyada. Zatim dodaj 3 ravne supene ka{ike sode bikarbone i me{aj sve dok se soda bikarbona potpuno ne rastvori. Razlomi {pagete na kra}e {tapi}e razli~ite duìne i ubaci ih u staklenku. Na kraju dodaj 8 ka{ika sir}eta (zamoli nekoga od odraslih da ti pomogne). Posmatraj {ta se doga|a i poku{aj da da{ obja{wewe.

Obja{wewe: [pagete }e se dizati do povr{ine te~nosti, a zatim tonuti da bi se ova pojava ponovila vi{e puta. Kada {pagete po~nu suvi{e sporo da se kre}u, dodaj jo{ malo sir}eta u staklenku. Mehuri}i CO 2, stvoreni u reakciji izme|u sode bikarbone i sir}eta, skupqaju se na povr{ini {pageta i potiskuju ih kroz rastvor ka povr{ini (deluju kao naduvani kolut za vodu). Tamo mehuri}i CO 2 prsnu i {pagete, koje su te`e od vode, potonu na dno. Zatim ceo proces po~iwe iznova sve dok reakcija te~e i stvara CO 2.

SVETI TEODOR TIRON ST. THEODOR TIRON

Malo se zna o `ivotu Sv. Teodora There is a lack of knowledge about t he life of Tirona. Mnogo se vi{e saznalo o wemu po St-Theodor Tiron. A lot more was known about him wegovoj smrti, jer je i u snove qudima dolazio i after his death. He appeared in people’s dreams imenom Hristovim vojnike zla pobedio, a where in Jesus’ name he defeated enemies and his mo{ti wegove od po~etka ~ini{e ~uda. relics created miracles.

Rodom sv. Teodor be{e iz Humiale u St-Theodor was born in Pont (Humial, north

Pontu (severoisto~na oblast Male Azije). Bio east region of Malaysia). He was a recruit in je regrut u puku Marmaritskom, u vreme Marmarit’s regiment during the reign of pagan’s vladavine neznabo`a~kih careva Maksimijana i tsars Maximian and Maxim. They sent an order

Maksimina, koji posla{e po celom carstvu throughout the empire that all Christians have to nare|ewa da se svi hri{}ani, koji okuse od sacrifice something to be free of any accusation. Those who resist, will be called to court for idolskih `rtava oslobode kazne, a oni koji se usprotive izvedu na sud. Tako i svetog Teodora judgement. St -Theodor’s compatriots, non- Christians, started insisting on the tsars’ idea of wegovi saborci, nehri{}ani, stado{e primoravati da prinese `rtvu idolima, {to sacrificing.

After a lot of pressure from captain Posidoni and commander Vinko, St-Theodor pritiske kapetana Posidonija i komandanta remained firme with his beliefs. As God’s real Vinka, Sv. Teodor osta nepokolebiv u veri servant and soldier, he made the effort to convince svojoj i kao smerni sluga i veliki vojnik vojske the other soldiers to remain God’s loyal followers. Hristove tru|a{e se da pridobije jo{ koju “Nothing will disturb you when you leave the du{u, da je pribroji stadu Hristovom. „Ni{ta darkness and the short-lasting tsars.

As judge, Publi ordered St- Theodor to suffering and jail imprisonment, where he would then be without food and water to die from famine. St-Theodor stayed true to his position: “I do not have any fear from you and your terrorization. So, do what you want, because God advised me to be brave and hopeful for gifts that are yet to come”. While being in prison, St-Theodor was fed by God’s spirit. On the first night, God came into his dream and said: “Do not fear Theodor, because I am with you. Do not take any food and drink from this earth, because you will be with me during your eternal life in heaven”. After saying that, God left Kivot svetog Teodora Tirona him and St-Theodor started singing happily with Iskoristiv{i pogodnu priliku, Sv. many heavenly Angels joining him. Teodor Tiron zapali idoli{te majke bogova, When prison guards heard the nice singing, neznaboà~ke bogiwe Cibele, i na sebe navu~e they came to the locked prison door and saw many gnev gradona~elnika Kronida i namesnika people dressed in white clothes singing with St- Publija.

As Publi thought that some Christians osta nepokoleban: „Ne bojim se ni tebe ni were with St-Theodor in the prison, he ordered tvojih mu~ewa, makar bila i najqu}a. ^ini, armed soldiers to surround the prison.

St-Theodor

Vrgnut u tamnici, bla`eni Teodor bi remembered what is written: “Those who are hrawen Duhom Svetim. I prve no}i javi mu se righteous, will live from their belief in God” (Avak.

Gospod i re~e: „Ne boj se, Teodore, jer ja sam s 2,3; Rim 1,17), and did not want to take bread and tobom. Ne uzimaj vi{e zemaqske hrane i pi}a, water. He said to them: “I am fed by lord God and tsar Jesus Christ”. jer }e{ biti u drugom ìvotu, ve~nom i “ neprolaznom, sa mnom na nebesima. To rekav{i, Gospod otide od wega, a Sv. Teodor se razveseli i zapeva, i pridruì mu se mno{tvo svetih An|ela. Kad ~u{e ~uvari tamni~ki divno pojawe, do|o{e do vrata i vide{e vrata zakqu~ana, a u tamnici mnogo qudi u belim haqinama kako sa Sv. Teodorom pevaju. Upla{eni time {to su videli, obavesti{e Publija koji odmah do|e i ~u divnu pesmu. Mislio je da su u tamnici neki hri{}ani sa Svetim Teodorom i naredi da tamnicu opkole naoruàni vojnici, ali kako u tamnici ne na|e nikoga, osim Sv. Teodora okovanog u verige i klade, spopade ga strah. Naredi da se Svetom Teodoru svakog dana daje po par~ence hleba i malo vode. Veliki mu~enik Hristov, kao {to je napisano: „Pravednik }e od vere ìveti. “ (Avak.2,3; Rim.1,17), nikako nije hteo primati od wih ni hleba ni vode, govore}i im: “Mene hrani Gospod moj i Car Isus Hristos. “. Sutradan, uz veliko nagovarawe sudije i ponude svakojakih zemaqskih blaga i po~asti, St. Theodor fresco from Pustinja monastery Sveti Teodor ostade Hristov i sve svetsko primiv{i kao ni{ta, pogledav{i u nebo, The next day, after a lot of pressure from the prekrsti se i re~e sudiji: „Ne}u se odre}i judge who offered him different gifts and honours, imena Hrista mog sve dok je moja du{a u meni, St-Theodor remained with Christ, looked towards pa makar mi telo ogwem spalio i raznovrsnim the sky, and said to the judge: I will not forsake me mukama mu~io, ma~evima sekao, zverovima Christ’s name until my soul is in my body.

The judge was upset and ordered that St- Teodor sve vreme poja{e: „Blagosiqa}u Theodor’s body is burned with iron sticks.
