Home economics - stir fry

 Home economics - stir fry 

Today I am going to be making a review on some food my friend made for home economics since I was not here.

I feel like the group could have added more colour and made it look presentable, it looks like it taste very bland and If i'm being honest It does not look very appetising.

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.

Hannah Höch poster

Hannah Höch poster

For art we had to make a poster including 6 facts and 4 photographs from the artist Hannah Höch, the twist to this is we were not allowed to use google drawing we had to use google docs, and tables to make a stunning poster to present.

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.

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.

VIA Survey

VIA Survey
For Wananga today we did a Character strength test, their was 40 questions and I answered them honestly so here are my top 3 character strengths.

1. Kindness

I feel like this is quite accurate because I love being kind to people it makes me very happy.

2. Humour

I love making people laugh especially when they are down and I just love making jokes and stuff so yeah I would say this is true.

3.  Gratitude

This is pretty accurate I love showing people that I am thankful for them and the stuff they do for me.
