Reflection Section

In class today we have been watching a video called Denzel Washington's Life Advice and this is the video was talking about life advice and how it is from now he was talking in the video about not. To give up in the future and to try you're best at your things that you like to do, and it was also talking about in the video where the guy was trying to do what he like's and would be to not giving up and he will keep on going so that is what we have been doing in class today. 

Text title: Denzel Washington's Life Advice 

Text Type: Motivational Madness  

Text Creator:  Denzel Washington's 

Text Purpose: The text purpose of this video is all about taking life advice and then bringing it in to the real, world and it was talking about how he failed his collage but he kept on trying after he failed. 

Critical Literacy: What kind of Language is used in this text?  In the text they have used Motivational Madness in the text, so they were saying to keep on trying if you have failed in the past and you would keep on trying and trying tell you give up.

Metal Reactions

                                                                   Metal + Acid 

In science today we were doing a experiment and we have been learning about Metals and acid and how it all reacts when, we put Metal and Acid together in a tube then after a while it would make a pop sound so we have used magnesium for our metal.  

Equation -   Metal + acid > Metal Salt 

Method -  Light your Bunsen burner  Add your sample of metal to your test tube. Add 2 ml of acid.  Carefully invert the boiling tube above the test tube containing the metal and as shown in the diagram below.  

Conclusion  -   After we did the experiment it made a pop sound. 

                                                                 Glowing Splint 

In science we did another experiment where we had to grab a splint, and then we garbed the splint and light it and put it in the test tube with manganese dioxide in it  once we put that, in there we then put the splint with fire in it with the manganese's dioxide in it after we put it in there it would start to boil. 

Equation -   Metal Oxide + hydrogen Oxide > Metal Peroxide 

Method -  1. Light your Bunsen burner. 2. Add Manganese dioxide to the boiling tube and place it in your test tube rack. 3. Add 2mL of hydrogen peroxide. 4. Light a splint and let it burn for a while. 5. Blow the Splint out and insert the glowing embers into the mouth of the boiling tube. 

Conclusion - After we did this it started to boil when it reacts with the manganese dioxide. 

 

                                                                 Lime Water Test 

The lime water test is where we get test tubes and we well get a hose that well end up moving the, Lime water to the acid after this we well put the lime water in the tube and  it will start to bubble in the tube and it would end up fogging up making more bubbles when we add more acid in it. 

Aim - To Show that carbo Dioxide gas is produced when a metal carbonate reacts with acid. 

Equipment - Two boiling tubes. Delivery tube and bung. Bunsen burner, test tube rack. Wooden splint, a bottle of acid small amount of metal carbonate test tube tongs. 

Method - 1. Light your Bunsen burner. 2. Add a pea sized amount of the metal carbonate into one of the boiling tubes 3. Place this boiling tube into a test tube rack ensure you have the bung and delivery tub e ready. 4. Add 5Ml of acid to the boiling tube and quickly insert the bung and delivery tube into the mouth of the boiling tube. 5. Holding the other boiling tube with your tongs, capture the gas produced as shown in the diagram below. 6. When you think the tube is full, your lab partner should light a wooden splint. 7. Carefully remove the boiling tube from under the deliver tube, taking care to keep it facing upright.  8. Insert the burning splint into the mouth of the test tube. 

                                                           

Environment Social Study's

Hello everyone for the past week in social studies we have been learning about the environment and how it is from now, so we have learnt that there is tones of plastic in the ocean and it is killing the fish and whales in the ocean. And people are dumbing different things in the ocean  and it can kill the sea animals in the ocean also we have been learning about the population as well in social studies, so that is what I have learnt about what is happening and I think that this is bad for the environment because sea animals can die from plastic and we can do about this is we can help from not throwing plastic in the ocean I hope you well enjoy my blog post. 

Live Aid

                                                                 Bob Gledof 

 In the early 1970's Bob Geldof was a lead singer in boomtown rats he was famous for, writing a song called 'I don't like Mondays' the reason he does not like Mondays is because of a shooting in a school. In San Diego that is why he does not like Mondays Bob Geldof was involved in singing at concert's in a band, he organized 8 live concerts to play in front of people around the world. 

                                                                 Midge Ure

In, 1984 Midge Ure was a Scottish singer he was in bands together with Bob Geldof he was in 7 bands. At the time he became the bubblegum band silk in 1974 he then left the band to join the rich kids it was a punk pop group. 

                                                   'Do they know it's Christmas'

The music  is called do they know it's Christmas was made in 1984 and the reason why Bob gledof has made, this song is because he wanted to let everyone know it's Christmas and also the reason why he put this song together is so they want everyone to remember the song and listen to it to see what it's meaning. They also recruited tones of British pop stars to perform this concert in time for the next holiday's.

Acid Rain Experiment

Hi everyone in Science, today we have been doing a experiment and the experiment we are doing is the acid rain experiment and the acid rain is caused from the chemical reaction in the air and. Then the reaction begins when the compounds of the sulfur dioxide and also nitrogen oxide and after that it, releases in the air so that is what the acid rain chemical is all about so I'll be showing you the method and the pictures of what it looks like. 

Hypothomes: Petal, Calcium Carbonate, Apple, Universal Indicator, Bromothymol blue.   

Method: In a petri dish place items around edge. Wet, dry ingredients with drop of water. In the middle put a weigh bout. 

What happened in the experiment: During the experiment the Apple did not react with the acid and after that the Petal did not react, to the acid the Calcium Carbonate did not react with the acid it has not been touched also the Bromothymol blue has not been reacted yet in the experiment and the Universal Indicator did not react with the acid.

Cryptography DLO - DTE

 Hello, everyone today in DTE we have been learning about cryptography and what it is all about and we had to make a DLO about it. So cryptography is all about keeping your information safe from hackers on the internet also another part is that if you access a website of some sort that information, goes in to the cryptography so it stay's safe so I'll be showing you my DLO I have made I hope you will enjoy my blog post.
