Science Road Show 2.0.1.8

This Wednesday the 28 of November we went to the learning street at HHS to see a show about science. The show was fun because it taught us so many things we did not know about science and body. There was so many fun stuff to do there, the first thing I did was to match the seeds in order that we can eat, for example, cereal, corn, and other food that start from a seed and then turn to a yummy healthy food. They also explain to us that we have to read the instruction first before we do the experiment if we did not read the instructions we would probably not know what to do with it.

My favorite experiment was when I sat on the chair and I hold a bar that has weight in it so that I felt like I'm going to fall, after that they spin me and it felt like I was going to fall out of my chair. Luckily I have a seatbelt so I did not fall. I went with Vann, Axle, and Ranit so that I can get help when I don't know what it is.

I would like to try the Science Roadshow again next time because maybe they will have a new experiment to show us.

Stone curving

On Monday the 26 of November, I move on a different project. It is called a pikorua, pikorua meaning in Maori stands for the bond between two people. I always thought that stone curving is easy but then when I started doing It's like carving a hard sand in a table. When you are doing a big project you will probably get it done in about 3 to 6 hours.

Kamusta Emma!

Kamusta Emma,

My name is Lars I'm from Hornby High School. I would try to participate in the learning journey this year because I would like to win a Drone for my self. If you want to know more about me well "I like to play basketball and soccer with my friends and brothers". Also, my favorite subject is math, reading, and science. I also like to eat chicken from KFC. I would really like to win that price so I hope that I will have a good luck.

If I won in the summer learning journey I would really like to get a drone because I think it will be fun to make that drone fly.

 

Purple Cabbage Experiment

This Friday in science we made an experiment about cabbage. We use cabbage blended with water as an indicator. I really like science because you can do some fun stuff like making a volcano explode and more like just we did today. 
Purple Cabbage Experiment
Last period in science we looked at the pH scale. Today we are going to make a purple cabbage indicator that will test the acidity or alkalinity of white vinegar and washing powder. The indicator is neutral and has a pH of 7.
Answer the following questions before you start the experiment.
What colour do you think white vinegar will turn the purple cabbage indicator? I think it might turn to colour red.
Why do you think it will turn to red? Because the vinegar is sour so maybe it will wash away the color and turn it to red.
What colour do you think white vinegar will turn the purple cabbage indicator? Still purple
Why do you think that? Because the washing powder is alkaline.
Method:
1 Peel off three or four big cabbage leaves and put them in a blender filled half full with water. Blend the mixture on high until you have purple cabbage juice.
2 Pour the purplish cabbage liquid through a strainer to filter out all of the big chunks of cabbage. Save the liquid for the experiments to follow.
3 Set out three beakers, side by side. Fill each glass three-quarters full with cabbage juice.
4 Add a little vinegar to the first beaker of cabbage juice. Stir with stirring rod and watch the colour change.
5 In the second beaker, add a little laundry detergent and stir.
6 Take a photo of your 3 beakers side by side.
Reflection:
Were your answers right or wrong? I only got 1 question right because the cabbage turns out colour red, green and I think red.
What number do you think the white vinegar would be on the pH scale? 3.0
What number do you think the washing powder would be on the pH scale? 8 / 9

What we have done today in passion project

Today in our passion project we have to make a design for our biggest stone. We also put a meaning on our project because the teacher said to us before we have to make our big stone there need to be a meaning on it. So we decided to put a meaning on it. The meaning of our project is me, Christian and jullien.

We also learned how to use all the stuff from the shed where we do our project. Some of the things that I can remember that we use is Tooth Chisel, Flat Chisel, Point Chisels, Mini Stone Chisels, Specialty Chisels, and Hammers. Also, the things that I remember to use is hammer it uses to help chisels and point chisel.

Passion project

This is called a fish hook, it means that A he matatu is a bone or greenstone carving in the shape of a highly stylised fish hook typical of the Māori people of New Zealand. They represent strength, good luck and safe travel across water.

SLJ Practise Lets travel to Canada

"Salut a tous" today at cyber smart we have to choose a country for our summer learning journey. I would like to visit Canada because of the expanse of Canada's natural beauty, from mountains and glaciers to secluded lakes and forests, it is almost unparalleled worldwide. But Canada's allure is not just the great outdoors. Canada has cosmopolitan cities that are clean, safe, friendly, and multicultural.

Canada capital city is Ottawa, Ottawa is Canada’s capital cities, in the east of southern Ontario, near the city of Montreal and the U.S. border. Sitting on the Ottawa River, it has at its center Parliament Hill, with grand Victorian architecture and museums such as the National Gallery of Canada, with noted collections of indigenous and other Canadian art. Also, Canada is the second largest country in the world, the pollution of it is 36.71 million people.

January is the coldest weather in Canada because its temperature is 28f and because of that, the most daily sunshine is in July. The language most commonly spoken is  English and French.

Two fun facts about Canada: First Canada is the world educated country and the second facts are Canada has more lake than the rest o the world because all the lakes are all combined.

I like to go to Canada because I want to visit it.

Probabililty D L O

In maths at school, my group for maths needs to make a D L O about probability. We did that because that is what we are learning at maths this week. I supposed to finish this last week but then they said that we are going to have a project in kete called passion project and my topic was about stone carving.

Passion Project

Term four weeks six in kete we have been doing a Project about stone carving, Stone carving is super fun because you can do some good art.

What is the answer ?

In cyber smart, term four weeks five, we did another challenge and it is who can find what is amphibious.  Also, an amphibious cycle is a human-powered vehicle capable of operation on both land and water.

Science

This week in science we did a Ph Scale quiz, It was very fun because we have to search the answer to Google. Some of the questions are hard but me and Vann my partner in science/friend did pretty well. Make sure to check out our Ph scale quiz because it will help you if you are doing scale quiz too.


Neutral solutions have a pH of  (7)

What colour represents neutral on the pH scale (Green)

What is the range covered by the pH scale (0-14)

pH is a measure of (Hydrogen  ions) Oxygen Hydrogen Hydroxide

Acids and bases can combine to create water and salts (True)

Which is not a property of a base Sour taste Bitter taste Slippery (Sour taste)

There are a variety of strengths of acids and bases True False (True)

Vinegar is an example of a Strong base Strong Acid Weak Acid (Weak acid)

An acid’s pH is between (0-14)

What is true when acids and bases neutralize each other; (They react to neutralize then the  acid and base properties will produce a salt.)

Water is produced Salt is produced Both water and salt are produced (Salt)

Does baking soda have a pH of 9? Explain your answer (“Yes” it have a pH of 9, making it a mildly alkaline substance.) ____________________________________________________________________________ __
