Term 2 Potions Assignment

Here’s your assignment: worth 10 points

Potions are magical liquids created by mixing various ingredients in a cauldron according to very specific rules. These mixtures must usually be drunk to give their magical effect. The ingredients in potions range from the mundane to the bizarre and fantastic, and the procedures for creating some potions can be complicated and time-consuming.

1 What were two potions made during Harry’s first year in Potions class?

2 What potion were the students making during the second year when Harry threw a firecracker in Goyle’s cauldron to create a diversion?

3 What potion imported from Peru did the Weasley brothers give Harry when he visited their store in Hogsmeade in Half Blood Prince?

4 Name 5 ingredients available in the Students Store cupboard at Hogwarts.

5 What tricky potion, which is an O.W.L. standard, is taught in fifth-year Potions?

6 What is the N.E.W.T.-level textbook for Potions during Harry’s sixth year?

7 Who invented Wolfsbane potion and who’s uncle was he?

8 What 2 ingredients in your kitchen will make a fizzy potion? (used in home remedies to help with bee stings)

9 What ingredient added to a carbonated drink will make the drink foam? ( We all love these!)

Hint: A tree has …, your pint of ….. is on the bar , and you ….down a river

Now for the Extra Credit worth 25 points

I thought I would give you guys a break from Potions work. I know we need to get our mitt, gloves, whatever done for our spoilee….We can’t forget about them. So for extra credit PM me with a picture of your mitts, gloves, whatever starting (as in the cast on) or where ever you are at now.. and a pic of them next Tuesday when you have made some progress on them or if you get them done by then. Please don’t post the pics here as we don’t want to spoil our surprises. You must show some progress. At least 10 rows or an inch. Whichever comes first.

If you are some of the lucky ones ( pandoraphelps archerpren ) who have finished their mitts, gloves, whatever. Then I would like for you to do one of these cool potions for your assignment. Pick which ever one you want to do or if you can answer number 9 in the quiz then you may do that one. But I want to see proof as in pics of your experiment.

So no time to waste….get out your potions books and get started!!!!

Oh and don’t forget to sign your posts for your quiz! :)
