Chemistry experiment felt and water

This experiment was just like the last one. Apart from that we got a strip of filter paper and used a felt to put a dot on the paper I used a dark shade of purple. We then did the same process of letting it set in a test tube apart this time the liquid we used was water. After letting it sit in water it separates into pink dark blue and light blue.

Chemistry experiment

We started off by putting a teaspoon of sand

and 5 small leaves in a mortar and pestle.

We then tipped in some acetone and grinned it.

After it was a thick substance and almost looked

like mowed grass we got a toothpick and put a

small dot of the grinned up substance on a small

strip of filter paper, Tipped some chromatography

solution into a test tube and then placed the filter

paper into the test tube so that the dot was just

above the liquid. After being in the test tube for

a while the green dot separated into sections of

brown green and yellow.

Shark infested custard team building task

What interpersonal skill did you use today? We used our team working skills.

How did it help with the success of the activity? That we worked together by putting a hoop on the ground three people stepped into the front hoop and the other two people steeped from the back hoop into the middle hoop someone in the middle hoop without dragging it or stepping out of the hoop pick it up and pass it to the people in the front hoop they put it in front and we kept moving into the hoop in front until we reached the end.

Who did you work with that went well today? Today I worked well with my entire group Patrick, Isiah, Maddie and Quaiden.

If you were to do it again, how would you do it differently? If I was to do it again I wouldn't drag the hoop or step out of it because we then had to go back to the start because we would have got "bitten by a shark"

Film techniques

 Close up shot

A close up shot is zoomed in on the charters face so that you can see their facial expressions.

Medium shot

A medium shot is where you can see half of the charter’s body and what they are doing.

Establishing shot 

An establishing shot is where it is zoomed out so you can see where the scene is taking place. 

High angle

Shot from above to show that the charter is either scared or frightened.

Low angle 

Where the camera looks up and is to make the charter look powerful.

Flat angle

A flat angle is where the camera is in line with the subject- has a neutral effect on the audience.

Full shot 

Where you can see the whole scene of what the charter is doing.

High-key lighting

High key lighting is where it is really bright to make it look happy,bright and positive.

Low-key lighting

Low key lighting is where it is darker to make it look sad or scary.

Digestive system

 What is the use of these?

Esophagus- The esophagus is a tube that carries food and liquids from the mouth to the stomach.

Stomach- The stomach temporarily keeps food stored  which then goes through from the esophagus to the stomach where it then gets broken down.

Small Intestine-  Small Intestine takes all the nutritions from your food and into your stomach.

Liver- The liver helps by taking away any unwanted fats.

Large Intestine- The large intestine absorbs water and salt from the stuff that hasn’t been digested and gets rid of waste that has been left.

The journey food takes?The food goes in the mouth to the esophagus to the stomach then to the small intestine and it ends by going through the large intestine and it ends by getting rid of it.

The organ's food goes through? The food gets ingested/swallowed, your brain absorbs the food. The food then gets digested, then gets egested/got rid of.

Chaos

 a) Define Chaos. Chaos is crazy, all over the place and unorganized.

b) What are some chaotic events you have learned about in social studies? Some chaotic events that I have learnt about in social studies are about tsunamis and earthquakes.

How have people responded to them? Get to higher ground.

c) How does Ricky face and respond to chaos? Ricky gets upset and runs away and when Hector outed him he got angry and shot Hector luckily it was only a flesh wound. 

d) How does Hector face and respond to chaos? Hector is calm and collected and is nice when there is conflict.

e) How can we, as a society, reduce the amount of chaos in someone’s life? We can help them out and make sure that they are ok and feeling well.

Black death

 What century was the black death and what parts of the world did it affect?  The black death went from 1347 to 1351. The black death affected North Africa, Europe. And Eurasia which comprises all of Europe and Asia.

Symptoms of black death coughing up blood, fever, boils, spasms, can't speak clearly and diarrhea

Who were the victims of the black death? People over the age of 60 apparently managed better than people in their late 50's. Although it was said that older men were particularly more likely to get the black death.

How were the dead buried?  There was some uncertainty about how those that died were actually buried and how they got rid of the plague at the same time, it was said that they were wrapped and buried into shallow graves stacked on top of one another. In other theories it was also said that they were burnt to get rid of the plague.

What were the three strands of the plague?  The three stands of the plague were called bubonic/swollen lymph nodes in the armpits and groin. Lymph nodes are small lumps of tissue that contain white blood cells, which fight infection, septicemic which is a very serious infection in the bloodstream, also known as blood poisoning. The third strand was pneumonic which affects the lungs.

P:E Athletics results

 Athletics events that I have learnt this term. Is that triple jump is a thing.

Techniques helpful for each event are that when doing long jump you need to jump at a certain point otherwise it’s a no jump. High jump, You need to run fast and run on an angle when you get close to the mat and put your legs up high. Shot put make sure you put the hand that you don’t throw with. Straight and point it high at the sky. Discus make sure you get a good swing before you throw the discus.

Results from PE: Long Jump: two meters, High Jump: one meter, Discus: 11.52 meter, Shot put: 7.34 meters, Sprints: 18 seconds 

Did you bring your PE gear each session? Yes I did bring my PE gear each Session.

Did you participate each week? Yes I did participate In PE every week.

I had fun dressing up in my kahui color for athletics.

Dirty water experiment

Diluting the water we tipped out 100 ml of of dirty water and added 100 ml's of clean water we then repeated this process twice. 

We then got out a metal retort stand,clamps,funnels and a concrete base a cloth and a piece of filter paper. First we screwed the retort stand into the base. Attached the clamps to the stand. We then put the funnels in the clamps in the top funnel we put the cloth and directly under it in the next funnel we put the filter paper.

When we used the funnels and the retort stand we tipped our dirty water into the top funnel and it filtered through and dripped into the next funnel. The top funnel had a cloth which helped to take out the bark,rocks and big clumps of dirt and in the second we had a piece of filter paper which caught the tiny pieces of dirt that where to small and went through the cloth. After going through the funnels it drips into the beaker underneath.

Did it work? Yes it semi did it separated the bark dirt and rocks from the water but after going through in the process overall the water did have any insoluble objects left in it and didn't seem to look as dirty all though it did have a yellow tinge in it.

Would I change anything? If I were to do this again the yes I would do it differently I would dilute it more then what we did.

Drawing task Health

 What Interpersonal skill did you show/use today? The interpersonal skill that I used today was communication. Communication helped today so that we could draw the image the other person had in their hand.

How did it help with the success/lack of success, of the activity? It helped with the success that we were explaining the drawing clearly and if we were confused then we asked questions so that we had a clearer idea of what to do.

Who did you work with that went well today? Today the person that I worked well with was Toni.

If you were to do it again, how would you do it differently? If I were to do it again I would do it so that I have more time so that I don’t have to rush it as much.
