I am a student at in Uru Mānuka. In 2020 I was a year 9 and in 2021 I will be a year 10. This is a place where I will be able to share my learning with you. Please note....some work won't be edited - just my first drafts, so there may be some surface errors. I would love your feedback, comments, thoughts and ideas.

Diffusion/Particle theory - Hurumanu 3
Diffusion/Particle theory
This week our focus is about particle theory - and how particles move
Aim- Investigate if particles diffuse faster in hot or cold water
Hypothesis- I think that the particles will diffuse faster in hot water
Method- fill up 2 petri dishes one hot one cold
Add the potassium permanganate
Particle Theory
1. Particles make up everything
2. Particles are always moving
3.Particles are attached to each other
4. Hotter= faster
5. Colder= slower
6. Always space between particles
Results:
the hot one did end up going purple faster
Discussion: I think it happened because when particles are in a hotter environment it tends to move faster then when it is in a colder environment.

Do you play an instrument? for how long?What can you play?
Yeah I play electric guitar, and sometime acoustic, I've been learning for like 2 years on and off.
I know how to play tabs and that.
Who is your favourite singer/band why?
Kurt cobain/Nirvana because their music really inspires me and I relate alot.
Name 5 of your favourite songs?

Evaporation Experiment
Evaporation Experiment
For chemicals and chaos we have been learning about evaporation, evaporation is when liquid turns into gas, for example if a liquid is heated up to its boiling point it will evaporate and turn into a gas.
Aim:
We are doing this experiment to learn more about evaporation and to learn how it works and what will happen to the copper sulfate.
Hypothesis:
I think that we will see some gas and some of the copper sulfate will evaporate.
Equipment: Copper sulfate solution, 250mL beaker, Heat proof mat, evaporating basin, element.
Method:

Hypothesis:
I think that we will see some gas and some of the copper sulfate will evaporate.
Equipment: Copper sulfate solution, 250mL beaker, Heat proof mat, evaporating basin, element.
Method:
- Set up the element
- Add 100mL of hot water to the beaker and place on the element
- Add copper sulfate to the evaporating basin till its a quarter full
- Carefully, place the evaporating basin on top of the beaker
- Turn on the element to 8
- Heat the solution until most of solvent has been evaporated and crystals of solute are forming.
- Turn off element- careful not to touch as will be hot for a long time.
Observation: As time goes by we see that inside the beaker there where bubbles forming, and maybe a few drops of water & you can slightly hear the small bubbles popping or the sound of boiling happening.
Conclusion: The experiment did not work as the element we were using didn't heat it up enough.
Evaluation: It was fun but, it didn't go as planned but now we see that we may need to adjust some things next time around.
