Jelly Babies Osmosis

Jelly Babies Osmosis

For Science we have been learning about the gummy bear osmosis. We got to pick a group of either 2 or 3 I was with Gemeve. We had to get 3 containers and put different solution's in them (Suger solution, Salt solution, and just water) And put 2 different coloured Jelly babies in them ours were yellow and orange. Before they Did anything we had two write down our hypothesis after we writ that down we had to leave them for about 24 hours. Heres some photos of what happend.


Gummy Babies Osmosis


Keah’s Hypothesis:

I think they will loose there colour and they will grow bigger 

I think the salt solution and the water solution is going going to grow less than the others and and that the sugar solution will grow more than the others 


Gemeve’s Hypothesis:

I think that one of them will grow bigger and one of the them will lose its colour on of them was all ready starting to lose there colours and all

so one of them started to grow big it was bigger the the original one the water one is just getting bigger 


What happened: 

The water one grew the most and the salt one that grew less they had lost there colour and the water ones split in half 


We think the water one split in half because it had absorbed all te water and got to a certain point were it just split.


Water:biggest lost most colour split in half

Sugar:Medium lost a bit of colour

Salt:smallest didn’t do mush and only really lost colour

The Finder

 For Hur 2 my class and I have been writing story's about an invention that we made up. My story is about a girl who has been wanting to create something but doesn't know what to make until one day she had an idea on what to make.I had fun writing this story because I really like free writing so I can get creative.

The Finder  By Keah


Once upon a time there was a girl who created The Finder. It can find anything you want. Now that I’ve told you about The Finder,Let’s get on with the story.



Once upon a time there lived a girl named Anna Beast-Bakey. She wanted to be an inventor but didn’t know what to make,so she searched the internet on what was already made. She came up with a few ideas but they had already been made. She had to think of something that had not been made and it had to be at least a little bit useful. 



She sat at her invention desk thinking of ideas until her mum called out but she didn’t hear her. So her mum called out again but much louder.


“Anna dinners ready.”



Anna jumped out of her chair and ran down to the kitchen, nearly tripping over her own feet. Once she got down to the kitchen her food was waiting looking delicious. Once she finished her food she had an idea on what she wanted to make.


“I’ve got it 



Her parents looked at her wondering what she meant but before they could ask she was running up to her room and writing down her ideas.


The Next Day: Once Anna  woke up she ran to her invention desk and looked around to see if she had the things to make her invention. Anna couldn't find one thing she needed, so she asked her mum if they could go get it.


“Mum can we go to the shop? I need to get something.”


“Sure, Sweetie.” 



Anna got changed into her outfit for the day and walked over to the car. Her mum was already there, so her mum started the car and they left.



Once they got back Anna went to her room and started on the finder, one of the best inventions she had thought of. She got everything and got comfortable.



At first she got it wrong because she put a piece of wire in the wrong place which was a mistake because she wasn't paying attention. On her second try she had learnt form her mistakes and did it right but the battery was dead. And she didn't know how that occurred. However once she changed it she was finally ready.



When Anna was done she took the finder for a test run. She had a remote where you could type what you want it to find. Anna started by making it find a hair tie. Once it brought it back she had a face of joy.


“Omg it works.” she said with a happy voice.


That night she went to sleep happy and joyful. She had a great sleep that night



When she woke she ran to the finder to make sure it still worked. Anna told her friends about it and they told other people. Sooner than later she had people asking her for one. She felt happy people wanted her invention.



Once she got home she was happy and felt she could make more and sell them for money,maybe even start a business! But that was to big of a dream she thought .


“I will stick with giving them to my friends.”


The End

Skittle Experiment

 Yesterday for science we were doing an experiment with skittles. What you had to do was you filed up a container with hot water and then get 4 or 5 skittles and put them in and watch the colour fade into the water. I was with Ayla and Gemeve we got some really nice photos of the water when the colour came of the skittles into it. Once the colour was in the water we were allowed to mix it around at first when you mixed it a little bit it looked nice kinda like tie dye but then when you mixed it more it became brown.


Skittle Observations


Instructions: 

  1.  ¾ fill a petri dish with water. 

  2. Carefully place 4 differently coloured skittles evenly spaced around the outside of the petri dish. 

  3. Watch...


 


Observations

  • What things did you notice?  Can you make five observations?

    •   The colours faded  from the skittles. 

    •   the skittles made lines in the water from where the skittle colour faded.

    •   It coloured the water.

    •   the water made the skittles drain the water 

    •   The coloured water mixed together and made an ugly colour

  • Did anything surprise you?  What weren’t you expecting to observe? 

No-Keah

I wasn’t expecting the colours to stay in their own bubble I thought they would automatically merge with their neighbors boarders and make a mixed colour line where they joined. - Ayla

Not really- Genevemema


Wonderings

  • What questions arose in your mind as you did this activity?

what colour is more dominant 


                            Why was the lines forming in the water from the skittles- Gemeve



  •  Do you have any ideas about why certain things happened?

no-Keah

       No-Gememema

yes-Ayla


  •  What could you do to see if your ideas are correct?

Bunsen Flames

 For Science we have been learning about the Bunsen burner. Yesterday we had to investigate which flame on the Bunsen burner is hotter(Safety Flame,Roaring Flame) We had to put water in Becker up to 100 and measure how cold the water was before putting it on the flame and then see how hot it got after 4-5 mins. Mine and my partners safety flame water started at 11 and ended at 50 and our roaring flame stared at 11 and ended at 54. So from what Me and my partner got the roaring flame is hotter.


Evaluate the practicals

It needs to be a fair test because some people might have different things and are struggling

To keep it a fair test we need to have the same things so no one has something better

kinda some people had all there things and some people didn't like me and my partner

make sure everyone has the things they need to do it  

Community

 What is a Community-I think a community is a (town, neighbourhood,city) It is a place were people can come together and think of new things they might want or ways to make it better,Or they can have some common interest that they all share in common. I'm apart of the Hornby ,Hornby high school, Class TL and Christchurch Community

Where does the word community/etymology come from and what does it mean- 

The word community comes from the old French word comunete which comes from the Latin communitas community public spirit. The word community means a group of people living in the same place or having a particular characteristic in common.


The word etymology comes from the Greek word etumologia. Etymology is the study of the origin of words and how the meaning of the word has changed over time.
