CARR values group

Last week we got in groups and made a skit, dance, rap or video to show the class. At the start of last week my teacher made the yr 8 girls and boys went in two lines. Also the same for the yr 7s. After we got in our lines our teacher got the first yr 7 boys and girls in the lines got in the same group. The same for the yr 8s. So the people in my group were Dannielle yr 7, Tai, Tj, Clayton, and Danielle yr 8(me). When we got in our group we got a big piece of paper to write ideas on and what we were going to do. We came up with thinking of a skit we could film. The roles were Clayton was the caemra man, Tj and Tai were the Nerds and me and Dannielle we the bully's. It was so hard not to laugh but somehow we did it with only a tiny bit of laughing for like a second but that's better than the first time where we were laughing most of the time.

The next day we practiced and shot it for the first time but that wasn't the one we were going to show the class. We had 10 minutes or something like that to practice filming. So the next time we worked on our project it was a different day and that was the day we finished. So the class had a 30 minutes to finish filming and show our teacher. Since we knew what we were doing we just filmed it again once or twice because of us laughing. After we finished we showed the teacher and she said just upload it to emails and send it to her. Right after we did that we were done and just doing our other work we had to do

Home Chemestry Week 2

Last week my class and Miss Tozers class were doing home chemistry. We do home chemistry and drama at different times and days. Today day for home chemistry, we had to find the chemical name for different items and if you didn't have a device  you budded up in a pair or a group of 3. I didn't have a device neither did Danni so we budded up with Reisha. So our group was Reisha, Danni and I.

What we had to figure out in science this week is.....

The process / what we had to do:

So the first chemical name from our list was salt . The chemical name for salt is Sodium Chloride, the next thing was surf we couldn't find anything different to something else on our list so we put laundry detergent. After that was white vinegar the chemical name for that was Acetic Acid, the next thing was baking soda and the chemical name for that is Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate and that's the same as baking powder which is after baking soda.

Next was cleaner and the chemical name is  Muriatic Acid. The thing that had the same thing as surf was detergent and the chemical name is Carboxyic Acids. Next was lemonade but there was no chemical name so we did the biggest ingredient which is Glucose H20. After was sugar and the chemical name is Glucose, the last thing was citric acid and the chemical name is Anhydrous.

Hope you like our groups research, bye

Science road show

Today I went to the science roadshow with my class (7Tz) and 7Al. We had to go to where our science rooms are and sit in the middle of the mat. First we met presenters Shane and Anna. The first thing they taught us about temperature of different things, the first thing we did about temperature was put a piece of metal in a container then they set it on fire. Then they just talked about what was the coldest degress Celsius.

After the temperature talk we experimented with all the cool things we could.

After we had one more talk and Shane got 3 volunteers . All of then were not in our class they were all in the other. One was seeing hoe much oxygen he had,  play thing and how tall we he might be when hes older.

I think it was pretty fun but I was on crutches so I couldn't do some of it.

Why I moved from outdoor education to discovery

This term we are working on passion projects. Passion projects are something you choose to do then you do stuff involving it. I chose outdoor education and I was really enjoying it, on Mondays after morning tea we'd learn about where we were going then all day on Thursdays we'd go and do the activity. It was really fun. But after the second trip in the weekend I nearly broke my ankle so I could not go on any more trips.

So I could not do outdoor education without probably breaking my ankle so I had to change. I was pretty sad because I made some friends in their and I barely see them.

Now I'm doing discovery and the team I joined they were making a chocolate volcano cake.

Science 2

On Thursday or Tuesday last week we did an experiment including felt pens and liquids.

The experiment=

Aim....... To see the different colours in felt pens, and to see what colours make out the felt pen.

Hypothesis.......  At first since I did the skittle experiment at primary school but I didn't know what the felt pen one would do.

Method 1 Felt pens....... At first we had a piece of paper and we had to cut it into 5 strips to put a colour on it. Then we had to make x2 more because we had 2 liquids. After that we put the colours in the liquid and waited for the colours to separate. When we did all the colours we moved onto the skittles.

Method 2 Skittles....... When we started with the skittles our teacher gave us skittles and he told us NOT to eat them or else you wouldn't get any at the end. After that we put 5 different skittle colours in a container and put water over the skittles. We waited for 5-10 minutes then the colours stayed in their separate places until we shook the container and they combined.


Result....... The end result is that felt pens aren't made of the one colour, they are made up of a few colours. I already knew the skittle result because I did it last year at primary school.

Science

On Tuesday we did an experiment and it was called........ Red Cabbage Indicator.

We had to see how many different colours cabbage juice and different liquids could make.

First we had to get into groups the girl in my group names were Elisha Mae and Ella. 

The equipment names were: Hear proof mat, bunsen burner, tri pod, pot, test tubes, beacer.

The ingredients were: Water, red cabbage.

The first thing we did is grab our equitment and go to where we were working. After that we put water in our beacer an we also put our cabbage in at the same time. Then we put our tri pod over our bunsen burner, then we turned out bunsen burner on. We had to wait for the cabbage to boil and when it boiled we couned in our head to 2 minutes then turn the burner off.

After that we drained the juice out and put the juice into test tubes and we put different liquids in it. If it is green it is the ph level of 10. If it was red the ph level is 2. 

I hope you liked learning about what I learned about this week in science, bye
