Method:

Equipment:

  • Tall Glass cup
  • Green Grape
  • Microwave
  • Knife

Instruction:

  1. Get all your equipment ready
  2. Be Safe – Safety Glasses and no metal in microwaves.
  3. Cut the grape from top to bottom but not all the way through. Leave a small strip of grape skin.
  4. You put in the microwave.
  5. Put the cup over the grape.
  6. Put the microwaves on high for 1 minutes.
  7. Observe.

Result: Not Really my result but this was the expectation and nothing really happen we saw no sparks.

Write down what you saw happening.

What happened is we put the grapes in the microwave, but we could see through the microwave because the microwave was blackout but most of the grape juices, turn steam and started to sizzle and maybe the spark was at the start but we just didn’t see it, also something scary,happened when I was paying attention to the grape but the teacher Mr . Stock yelled ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! and it scared me, guys it was just a prank on me.

What is chemical energy?

Chemical energy is stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, the chemical energy may be released during a chemical reaction, often in the heat.  Such reactions from the chemicals called exothermic reactions that are require input of heat to proceed may store some of that energy as chemical energy.

Coloured Fire 

Method:

Equipment:

  • Safety glasses
  • Bunsen burner
  • Heat mat
  • Coloured salt
  • Wire loops
  • Small beaker of nitric Acid

Instruction:

  1. Get all your equipment ready
  2.  Be safe.
  3. set up your Bunsen burner.
  4. Clean the wire loop with the nitric acid liquid.
  5. Then dip the wire loop into the salt of your choice.
  6. Put the flame on the blue flame to start of the Bunsen Burner.
  7. Observe what happens.
  8. Repeat instruction 4 – 7.

Result:

 

 

What happened in the experiment?

There is a 4 second video of my experiment that we caught from coloured fire, what we did is first we turned the fire on then we put the wire loop into the nitric acid then put it in the salt which makes the coloured fire, the experiment went really well and I really enjoyed the doing the coloured fire.

What is chemical energy?

The energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, and chemical reactions often are called exothermic. the reactions of the heat has to proceed may store some of that energy as chemical energy is newly bonds, the chemicals are also found in food which is converted by the body into mechanical energy and heat.

The chemical energy is found in batteries and in foods, the chemical energy is in coal too and it’s converted into the electricity energy at a power plant.

The chemical energy is into electrolysis.

Week reflection of this term

KIA ORA!!!

What have I learned this term?

I have learned something in science which is about the states of matters and I did education prefect to revision my test which is coming up next week and we are doing the first test  on the Monday then if we have to upgrade our scores you’ll get a second chance to do it on Friday which is the last day of the term.

What I liked about the term?

I liked everything about this term but some of the class were really boring but I managed to keep it up and keeping going.

What do I enjoy about this term?

I enjoyed the Wanaga because it is the best that I ever had in this term it’s relaxing and calm.

Social studies – Murder and Mayhe

KIA ORA !!!!

Today Iam talking about the murder and mayhem.

Why was the Legal system so harsh ?

Legally the level of attitude and the level of wealthiness the men who made the law were unsympathetic, Those people who committed the crimes were sinful. They are lazy, greedy, and they deserve some mercy. 

 

Public Excaustion 

The authorities Believed that hanging criminals in the public would frighten people, who are obeying the law and they refrain from committing the crime. In Durham from 1816 hangings were carried out at the front of the crown court. 

How Well did it work ?

The trial serious offences sometimes in the last few minutes, there was no chance for defences to present their case to the modern eye it seems like it was a lottery whether accused would be found innocent and guilty.

Alternative to the death penalty? 

The other punishments also are medieval times, criminals could be branded, also the burning mark on the hand and they will directly put it on to your skin.

Humiliated getting head chopped off and the limb of chopping of leg and arm, the guilty could also be publicly whipped or humiliated in the pillory or stocks.

Lawyer paragraph Practice

During the life of bloody code the life could be extremely cruel for poor people because people could die.

State your point – Murdered my cousin 

I’m trying to be convinced that someone murdered my cousin and I evidence to find out who did it.

 

Chromatography – ( colour picture )

Aim:

I want to find out how to separate coloured chemicals from ink.

Research:

Paper Chromatography 

 

 

 

 

 

Method:

Equipment:

  • Safety glasses
  • Beaker 250ml
  • Water
  • Pencil
  • Filter paper
  • Maker – Felt pen
  • Scissors

Instruction:

  1. Get all your equipment ready and be safe.
  2. Add 1 cm of water in the beaker.
  3. Cut a strip of filter paper.
  4. Draw a pencil line 1 cm away from the solvent – ( bottom ).
  5. Draw a coloured dot with the maker pen in the middle of the pencil line.
  6. Fold down the top of the filter paper so that it hooks over the edge of the beaker.
  7. Put the filter paper into the water so that the pencil line DOES NOT go into the water.
  8. Once the goes up take it out and let it dry.

Result:

 

 

Discussion:

  • why did the colour separate?

You’re separating the coloured pigments that make up the colour of the pen, and that has to do with chemicals that make up the colours.

  • Where does the word chromatography come from? What is it?

A technique for the separation of the mixture by it’s solution or suspension through a medium in which the components move at different rates.

What is industrial solvent?

The industrial solvent is the mixture which I used in my picture and there are 3 types of industrial solvent which is called ( Water , ethanol , Methanol, acetone)

What is solute?

It’s a substance which dissolves the example of the solute is mix salt and water together there is your solution also the salt is the solvent.

here is the picture of the solute.

 

Dilution of the solution – (consecrations – Dilution – Potassium Permanganate – Concentrated ) )

Aim:

I want to find out how to make the concentrated solution dilute.

Research: I hope that the video helps.

Dilution  

Concentration 

Potassium Permanganate

Method:

Equipment:

  • Test Tube
  • Test tube rack
  • water
  • dropper
  • potassium permanganate crystals
  • measuring cylinder 10mL

instructions

  1. Get all your equipment ready and be safe.
  2. Fill the first test tube 10ml of water.
  3. Fill the remaining test tube with 9 ml of water.
  4. put one crystal of KMnO4 – Potassium Permanganate. Into the first test tube 10ml
  5. Using the dropper, extract 1 ml  of the first test tube and add it to the second test tube.
  6. Clean the inside of your dropper.
  7. Using the dropper, extract 1 ml  of the first test tube and add it to the third test tube.
  8. Clean the inside of your dropper.
  9. Using the dropper, extract 1 ml  of the first test tube and add it to the fourth test tube
  10. Clean the inside of your dropper.
  11. Using the dropper, extract 1 ml  of the first test tube and add it to the fifth test tube.
  12. Clean the inside of your dropper.
  13. Using the dropper, extract 1 ml  of the first test tube and add it to the sixth test tube.
  14. Clean the inside of your dropper.

 

Result:
It came out that it was really fun to do but I was really scared because, I thought that I would make a mistake but I trusted myself and went for it, I know that this not much of my result but I tried what I could do.

Discussion:

  • What happened?

The thing that happened is after filling the test tube, as you can see in the picture / photo the four test tubes are filled till 9 ml, and the two test tubes in the end they are filled till 10 ml in the two test tube because the tube is wide then the other four.

 

Why did it happen?

  • It happened because it seemed really cool to do the experiment but the experiment went well with no partner I did it by myself because everyone else was partnered up with everyone.

ESOL – Blogging

KIA ORA !!!

HI bloggers this is my year 9 ESOL blogging.

Today I’ll talk about what I did in my ESOL class?

  • I did the vocabulary grammar text book ( units )
  • I did the Read theory and recorded my test scores.
  • I did the vocabulary table which you put the words that you have to practice.
  • I did the reflection of the works that I’ve done.

I really enjoy ESOL class because fun things and here is the link of my work.

My Reflection for this week

The activity was doing the English grammar and doing the tests, which were  assigned by a teacher, and I managed to get it done. I have learned to correct words and to write sentence, I will apply my learning by focusing on my sentences when I write and to correct the words.

Thank you for reading my blog.
