Conduction stop motion

Conduction stop motion 

What is convection?

energy transferred through heating by contact for example when the glue was heated up it started moving faster and melted causing the nails to fall and allowing the heat to move to the hand.

In this stop motion we are trying to show you how convection works, this stop motion shows that when the metal rod is heated up the heat travels up the metal rod therefore melting the glue and making the particles in the glue move faster releasing the nails that have been glued onto the rod. But if you hold the rod for to long the heat will travel all the way up to your hand making it hard to hold.

Slam dunk paragraph 

For chaos today we learned how to structure a slam dunk paragraph and here is the one I made.

What was life like in the middle ages? Truthfully, it was pretty terrible depending on what and who you were, life was significantly different for the rich and the poor.  Rich people like the king and queen lived in castles, ate a bunch of food, and showered everyday. The poor, lived on farms, did not have enough food, and hardly showered. This was important because it shows how people in different classes were treated, how they lived their lives and how unfair life was.

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:

1. Set up the element 
2. Add 100mL of hot water to the beaker and place on the element 
3. Add copper sulfate to the evaporating basin till its a quarter full
4. Carefully, place the evaporating basin on top of the beaker
5. Turn on the element to 8
6. Heat the solution until most of solvent has been evaporated and crystals of solute are forming.
7. 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.
