Stem

Hello everybody for the past 3 weeks we have been doing STEAM/STEM we are working to fix issues that may happen in 2050. my group is making a shirt with heating and cooling pads in it so we could cool down or heat up depending on the weather. Our inquiry question is How can we help heating and cooling without using heaps of energy. So we decided to make the shirt with it.

Book Review

 Hello everyone today in class we got to finish our reading book and now we have to write a book review here are some questions  my teacher was me to answer. 

The title of the book is called I am Malala. The authors are Malala Yousafzai with Patricia Mccormick. I didn't select the novel my teacher assigned it to me we had no choice is picking the novel. I thought the book was very interesting a lot happened in her life. my favorite part would have to be the part where she is in the van and got shot then she talked about her survival.

these are some of the character, Malala Yousafzai, Atal Yousafzai, Khushal Yousafzai, those are some of the kids of Tor Pekai Yousafzai the mother and Ziauddin Yousafzai the father. Malala's best friend was Shazia Ramzan and her doctor was Dr Fiona Reynold.

I would recommend this book to 13+ this is really a book for 12 younger  book it has a lot a difficult words and big words.

I would rate this book 4/5.

 English is the most important subject in school.

English can be the most important subject, because it teaches us a lot about people, the past and the present. like we have learnt about people who have done good thing and leaders like Mother Teresa , Jacinda Ardern, kate Sheppard and so on. I do think English is one on the important subjects in school.

Science-Distillation

S. solid

L. liquid

G. gas

Whats evaporation? Evaporation is when a substance gets heated up and it turn from a liquid to gas. (Think of a kettle boiling) 

Whats condensation: Its goes from gas to a liquid by cooling it down. (Thing of your window when its cold)

whats distillation: Separate a solution using evaporating. 

Distillation Experiment:

Aim: use distillation to separate out the dissolved sugars in coke or coke zero (diet), from the liquid.

Hypothesis:

I think that coke will give us more sugar then the coke zero will. Coke is just made out of sugar more then coke zero is. I think the liquid will look lighter then it started as.

Results: it boiled to a point wear there was only sugar left some had a whole lot of sugar (normal coke) and some had not much (diet coke) and one had less water and one had more.

discussion:  I saw that it boiled because we were adding heat to a liquid and that turned into a gas because we gave it more energy (evaporating) then we called it down making less energy for it. 

Conclusion:  Yes it did work 

Chromatography

Chromatography is a pigment separate, pigments are different colors in one type of  color like a pen it take out the different colors it also gives the colors to things. 

Aim-To separate the different pigments from ink using chromatography

hypothesis- I think that the pen line will go up and take out the pigments, the colors we might see are orange blue and black. (depended on the pen

1- Draw a line across the filter paper in pencil, 5cm from the bottom.

2- Draw a coloured dot in the centre of the line.

3- Measure out 10mL of water and place in the test tube.

4- Place the filter paper in the test tube and fold over the side. MAKE SURE THE PENCIL LINE/ DOT IS NOT IN THE WATER.

5- Wait for 5 minutes and observe the results

EQUIPMENT- Felt tip pen, filter paper strips, test tube, measuring cylinder, pencil.

PB4L

 Hello everyone today in class we did a PB4L. So we got given a sheet of paper with the CARR values those are Commitment, Achievement,Resilience and Respect. On the sheet it have some expectations for all school settings, learning spaces, moving between spaces, outdoor spaces and digital/cybersmart. Then we had to pick one that we do from each one and one the we don't do from each one.

Commitment learning spaces- I'm always in the right place at the right time. When the bell rings I'm at class or when i'm in class i'm in the right space.

Achievement all school settings- I always do my personal best, I'm always try doing it to a high expectations and I meet my dead line most of the time.

Resilience digital/cybersmart- I listen and apply feedback I also report any problems online and i'll be willing to try new technologies problem solve. 

Respect outdoor spaces- I can respect the equipment and make sure school property is taken care of.

2 things I don't do. 

always have good manners and appropriate languages I don't always use these some time it get out of hand. 

report any damages and dangers. I don't always do this 

Do Now- Friday

 Anyone in Aotearoa New Zealand can vote? not everyone is New Zealand should be able to vote for the federal election. Some people could be to young to vote and might not understand what its really for but then some people might understand it and can vote. Like you could be 7 and not understand but you could be 14 and understand all of it. I feel that it should be 16+ instead of 18+ but if we had younger kids voting and could help more.
