Term 2: Reflection

 Greetings Everyone, 

Today I'm going to share my reflection for Term 2. A lot of things happen the last term and I also did a term 1 reflection. My best highlight for the last term is Ars Kete, Hurumanu 6, and Hurumanu 3. I pick this highlight because I enjoy it, especially with my friends. The other subjects challenge me a little bit, it makes me want to give up and keep going, even though It's hard. In the last term, I learn something in Hurumanu 3 which is maths, I learn what is the 3 digit of pi. My term 3 goals are to finish my work in time and add more words to my sentences. 

Diffusion of Potassium Permanganate

Greetings Everyone, 

Today I'm going to share with you what we'd on our hurumanu 3 class. We'd diffusing the potassium permanganate for today's experiment. 

The equipment that we'd used are Tweezers, Petri Dish, and KMnO4. Potassium Permanganate is also the same formula as KMnO4.Our aim for this experiment is for the temperature to speed up or slow down the diffusion. We'd put cold water and hot water on the petri dish and put the KMnO4 anywhere on the petri dish. The hot water experiment results diffuse the KMnO4 faster and spread out the KMnO4 than the cold water. The cold water diffuses slightly slower than hot water and doesn't really spread out the colours around.

Rising Water

 Greetings Everyone,

Today I'm going to share with you this blog post. This blog post is about an experiment that we did call Rising Water. The materials needed are Petri Dish, Candle, Lighter or matches, Cup, and Water. This experiment aims to see what happened to the water level when the candle is covered. In my prediction, the water level is a little bit higher and a little bit longer for the candle to die. For the result of our experiment, I saw the water level rise and the cup is stuck on the water. When the air is hot in other words high pressure, the water level is probably higher than cold air. When It has a low pressure, which is the opposite of the high pressure, it'll have less water.

Shark Infested Custard Game

 Greeting Everyone, 

Today's blog is about a game that we did in Hurumanu 5 Health class. The game that we play is called the Shark-infested custard game. The game is all about teamwork, communicating with each other and creating a strategy. It's a game. In order to play the game, you need to have 3 hoops for the team and 2 to 6 people on a team. The rules are to go to the finish line and when your teams go outside the line you need to go back from the start.

ESOL: 100 word challenge

 Greetings Everyone, 

For the past few weeks, we've been doing 100 words challenge. We needed to pick a topic that we would like to write about, there're 12 topics to choose from. I'm going to share with you what I wrote about. The topic that I wrote about is my favourite things. 

Here's my writing

My Favourite things

The first thing I like doing is to play with my friends, the second thing I like doing is to play video games. I often play games on my phone or watch something on Youtube but sometimes I watch anime. Also, I like to play sports with my friends because It’s much more fun to play. I also like to play competitive sports such as athletics because It challenges me. My favourite athletics options are Shot put, High Jump, Discus, and 100m & 200m Sprints. My favourite sports are Basketball, Volleyball, and Badminton however, I often play basketball more than the other sports. 

Themed Bells

 Greetings Everyone, 

Today I'm going to talk about our school Themed bells. It basically means our school bell songs. Each time the bell rings. Also, every month is a different theme and different song every. This weeks song is about All She Wrote and It's also a Pop Genre. In my opinion, the songs are all about people singing in the car and grinding around New Zealand. 

Six60's members are Matiu Walters, Chris Mac, Ji Fraser, Marlon Gerbes, Eli Paewai, Hoani Matenga. The six60 formed a band in Dunedin and they created their band name as their street number, 660 Castle Street. Also, In my opinion, I like our Themed bells, as It changed the main theme every month and changed the song every week.

All She Wrote

Diluting

1. Which test tube had the most concentrated sample of Copper nitrate?

The first test-tube has the most concentrated sample of copper nitrate

2. When we add water what were we doing to the concentration of the solution.

It makes it weaker.

3. Which concentration of copper nitrate formed the most precipitate, why do you think this is the case?

4. Make sure you have the photos for your blog post.
