Indicators

 Indicators

For science we we have been learning about indicator acids and alkali. It was fun seeing all the different thing that happens to the Tea,Turmeric,Cranberry juice and water it was cool what colours they turned

For science we have been learning about Acid and alkali so we put them in test tubs with other liquids

What is Acid:

Its something that can be use in experiments and some types of food and cooking things 

What is alkali:

Alkali can be used in science experiments and is in some cleaning product and turns blue when  mixed with something

What is an indicator:

It changes things to a different colour when mixed with thing like it turns acid to red and alkali to blue

Describe the 4 indicators we used:

Cranberry juice- red, purple, Drinkable

Tea-hot water to fully use, Drinkable

Turmeric-yellow orange- dissolves in water, but in cooking

Universal indicator- water Drinkable, cook able and eatable

Sports heroes

 For hurumanu we have been doing work about sports heroes either local international and national. I had a lot of trouble with think on who I wanted to do but I figured it out. I put down when they were born, net worth and if they had children. I don't really know much about sport but I did my best in what I knew. I liked doing this because I got to learn a bit about the sports players. Here is what I did.

Only For The Rich

 for writing we have been writing a story about a world without wheels. My story is about a girl who is on the poor side but is trying to make at least a little bit of her mums dream come true. At first I didn't know what to write but then i came up with an idea that I liked. I liked writing this story because I got to be creative with what I writ. Here's my story.

Only For The Rich

There are two sides to this world the rich or the poor there was no middle, you just had to be either rich or poor. One main thing that had a difference between them was wheels the rich had them and the poor didn't my family is on the poor side so we can't afford many things but I don't care.

One morning when I woke up no one was home. My parents were out walking to the supermarket and using the rest of the money they had.

Parents point of view:

When walking down to the supermarket we can see the carriages going past while we walk.

“I wish I had the money to get that.” I said in my head

Me again:

Once my parents got home they went to their room to go to sleep because they hadn’t got any the night before. That night,I felt bad. Once I was done putting away the food, I went to my room to make something. I knew that my mum wanted a carriage, So I thought of ways to make her dream come true.

The next day I made my way to school and saw a lot of scraps on the ground. I had an idea.

When I got back from school I went over to the scraps and took some. I went home and got my paint and paper out. You see the thing is I don't have the stuff to make a carriage and I never will so I got a few things that were of one and stuck them on the painting. I realised that I got a piece of the wheel which is the part that made them expensive and hard to get. I hate it that the world had to be divided.

On the day of my mum's birthday I wrapped her present with the most pretty wrapping paper ever and ran to her room and placed it onto her bedside table for when she woke up.

While my parents were asleep I went to my room and got ready for school. My mum woke up a few seconds later and I could hear her opening her present up. A few minutes later she ran to my room and gave me a hug and said that it's one of the best presents she ever had.

While walking to school I started feeling tired but I just walked  it off and kept going. While I was at school it was getting worse and I felt like I was sick so I went to the nurses office and they sent me home. When I was at home I just went to sleep because I was so tired.

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...

 

1. 
   

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?

Hur 1 HEROS

 Today for Hur 1 we were doing work about NZ heroes and how they have changed the world we had to do a work sheet about them.manly NZ heroes that went to war. I had to fill out a doc and answer the questions on it . here are my answers to some of the questions.
