Slam dunk

What was life like in the middle age?

Interestingly life was different for the rich and poor.  Rich people like kings and queens live in castles, they ate lots of food and showered everyday.  The poor lived in farms, did not have enough food and only showered on special occasions.

This was very important because it shows that the rich were living there best life and the poor were pretty much getting torture.

Life in the middle ages was really rough for the poor.

Distillation

 Today we did an experiment on Distillation, Evaporation, and Condensation, and it was also a really good day...

To separate a solute from a solvent in a solution using distillation.

Our Equipment,Solution Of Coke, Conical Flask, Heat Proof Mat, Delivery tube, Bunsen burner, Tripod, Gauze Mat, Bosshead & Clamp, Boiling tube, Retort stand.

Method:

1. A mixture of coke and water was heated in a conical flask…

2. The water evaporates leaving the coke behind…

3. The water vapour flows through the delivery tube…

4. Heat the solution until most of the solvent has been evaporated. Turn off your element.

Results: We saw that the coke started to bubble because of the heat of the element, then at the end of the experiment there was syrup at the bottom.

Discussion: At the end of the experiment there was only solute left in the flask because when we heated the coke the solvent evaporated into the test tube.

Conclusion: At the start the coke started to bubble, the bubbles went to the side of the flask, After the

flask had condensation. Soon the coke really started boiling and it started creating a liquid in the boiling tube.  At the end there will be brown sticky sugar left over. The coke had quite a bit of sugar left over and surprisingly the coke zero also had sugar left over.

Dilution Experiment Hurumanu 3 Science

Today in science we were doing a dilution experiment we did it to learn about dilution .

Our aim was to make a dilution series to investigate concentration.

What equipment we used we used Potassium permanganate crystal,six large test tubes,tweezers,a plastic transfer pipette,a test tube rack ansd a 10 mL measuring cylinder.

1. Place the 6 test tubes in a test tube rack.  Then label them numbers 1-6.

2. Using the measuring cylinder, fill test tube 1 with 10 mL of water. Then fill the other five test tubes with 5 mL of water.

3.  Using your tweezers,  add a single crystal of potassium permanganate to test tube one.

Workshop 3

Atmosphere-How you feel in a situation mood.

1.Scene-Auggies first day at school- When Auggie walks into class everyone stares at him. When he asks to sit down Amos says the seat is saved.

Angel/shot-long shot/eye level of class, close up of Auggie to see his emotional reactions.

Lighting & Colour-
Palette-colours used in the scene e.g nature palette has colours from nature-brown,green.
Warm/cold-Warm makes you feel safe/comfortable
-cold makes you feel clean/stile
Bright-vibrant,jumps out
Dull- faded,muted,blends in
Natural-sun/moon light
Artificial-man made light e.g light bulbs.
Lighting & colours-Warm-makes the class feel safe and welcoming
-Bright colours- gives the room energy and life
-Natural light coming through the window.

Effect on the viewer-Happy,chilled,exciting,educational,inspiring.

Director- Wants to create a happy and safe atmosphere in Mr browns classroom.  Even though it feels this way Julian and Amos's behaviour is unkind.

Sexxxy Paragraphs 
In the scene of Augusts first day at school,lighting and colour are used to create a safe and welcoming classroom environment.  For instance,Bright Warm colours are used on the walls and natural lights come through the windows to make the space look lively.  This makes the audience feel excited,inspired,and that the space is educational and supportive for learning. This was done to show that Mr Brown had created a classroom space that would be welcoming to new students like Auggie.
Coinciding with this is the use of body language.  the children in the room are sitting up smiling and paying lots of attention they are learning ready.  This reminds the audience of the theme kindness because the lighting and colour makes the room welcoming for all students. 

Rat dissection Hurumanu 2

Yesterday in science we dissected a rat.
We did the rat dissection to learn about the different body parts in a human body.  In class we have been learning about the organ but mostly the organs that give us energy.  We were learning about the Liver,heart and the Lungs.
I didn't like the dissection of the rat because it was yuck and it didn't smell nice.
The thing that I didn't like about dissection was that the rat smelt
and I didn't like touching the rats.
The equipment we used Scalpel,Tweezers,Scissor. 

Wonder workshop 2

A-Fight-Jack fighting Julian because Julian called Auggie a Freak
-Teacher pulling Jack off-Mr Brown.
-Dutch tilt used-shows something is not right
-Makes one person look smaller then the other-Julian looks weak and vulnerable.

Viewer Feels-Shocked-didn't expect Jacks reaction.
Surprised,concerned,uneasy.

Directed-Surprised,sad,worried for jack.

Other Techniques-Music-Creates atmosphere,Mirror slow motion-Makes more intense.

Sexxxy Paragraphs
In the film Wonder,Low angel shots were used effectively.  This is demonstrated in the scene were Jack attacks Julian because he called Auggie a freak.  In this scene a low angle dutch tilt shot is used to make Jack look stronger and to make Julian look weak and Vulnerable. This makes the audience feel shocked,surprised and concerned because we didn't expect Jacks reaction who has not shown any aggressiveness at this point.  The purpose of this is to show the theme of kindness as Jack finally stands up for Auggie.  Combined with this is the use of quiet,minor music and slow motion to create an atmospheres and the event feel more intense.  This can be contrasted to the nature reserve fight scene where Auggie now shows kindness by standing up for Jack.


-Fight scene- Nature Reserve- Auggie makes friends, High 5 no plague,Jack Amos and the others.  They beat up and ran away from 7th graders.

-Wide angle, Long shot-Makes us feel like we are a bystander watching a important moment, the emotions are the characters,not ours.

-Audience-Joyful,Proud,cheerful,ecstatic,Relived-Auggie finally id included,has friends.

-Directer- Shows Auggie is finally fitting in, shows theme importance of friendship of kindness.

-Other Techniques Lighting- use of shadow silhouette out lining the boys,feels like they are all in it together.

Wonder Workshop

-Kindness When people are,respectful,caring,helpful and include others.

-Example 1-Fight scene at the nature reserve.

• Amos and the boys rescue Auggie and Jack from the bullies. At the end they high five Auggie.
• Shows kindness because up until this point the other hadn't touched him of treated him with respect
• The theme of kindness is important because through it Auggie makes friends,is more confident and happy.

Cafeteria scene when Summer sits with Auggie

-Shows theme of kindness because summer leaves the friends she has been sitting with who were bystanders and went to sit with Auggie because he was alone.

-Summer helps rebuild Auggies trust in friendship. If she hadn't shown kindness by sitter with him he wouldn't have learnt to make new friends and move on.

Importance of family and friendships. -Though these relationships our characters build trust,Resilience and self confidence.

Example 1:Scene where Auggie cuts off his padawan braid.

-Link to importance of family because it shows when Auggie is felling sad/alone/depressed that he has a support network to build his resilience.

-Home is Auggies safe and supportive place. He needs this relationship with his parents to help him build confidence to make new friends.

-When Jack punches Jullien for calling Auggie a freak.

-Shows importance of friendship because Jack wasn't willing to let Julian bully Auggie anymore. Auggie is a real friend to where as Julian is the kind of friend that puts you down if you don't agree with him.

-Is important because it shows how real friends treat each other they build trust and can forgive.

Being Right And Being Popular: Doing the right thing even if no one is watching or if no one is actual doing it.'

Example 1:

-Julian chooses to do things to be popular rather than doing the right thing.  He calls Auggie names,hides notes in his locker and tells Auggie he should kill himself.  Julian is the most popular boy in the class so when he chooses to be mean that becomes the thing to do.

-Julian show importance of being right over being popular because through his actions he is removed from the school and loses his friends Juxtaposed to this is will. He decides he would rather be kind to Auggie and as a result keeps all his Friends and isn't kicked out.

Hurumanu Science- Food Testing.

 My aim is to figure out what nutrients are present in different foods

Test foods - 

• Egg
• Bread
• Apple
• Potato
• Glucose
• Milk

Hypothesis: 

I think Bread will be a complex sugar, I think eggs will be a complex sugar,I think lollies will be a simple sugar,I think the apple will be a complex sugar,I think milk will be a protein and last of all i think the potato will be a complex sugar.

Method for complex sugar.

1.  Put the sample into the test tube.
2.  Then add 2 drops of iodine.

• The bread turned black.
• The Apple turned black

• The Potato turned black. 
• The Glue Coast turned brown.
• The Milk turned brown.
• The Egg turned brown. 

Method for simple sugar.

1.  Put the sample into the test tube.
2.  Then add 5 drops of Benedictines
3.  Then heat it up. 

Before heating the ingredients -

• The potato stayed blue. 
• The Apple stayed blue.
•  The glue coast stayed blue. 
• The egg went orange.
•  The bread stayed blue.
• The milk stayed blue.

After heating up the ingredients-

• The bread stayed blue.
• The egg Stayed blue.
• The milk stayed a little bit blue.
• The potato went orange.
• The apple went orange.
•  The Glue coast went orange.

1. Place about 2mL of sample into a test tube and add 5 drops of sodium hydroxide.
2. Add 5 drops of copper sulfate.
3. Shake the test tube side to side

• The Apple has no protein.
• The potato has no protein.
• The egg has protein. 
• The glue coast has no protein.
• The bread has no protein.

Conclusion: The bread was a complex sugar,The apple was a complex sugar,The potato was a complex sugar,The glue coast was a simple sugar,The egg was a simple sugar,The milk was a simple sugar.

I was right about the bread,Apple,Potato, being a complex sugar.  I was right about the glue coast,but I was wrong about the Milk and Egg.

Discussion: I found out that most of the proteins are from animals and the different types of simple sugars and complex sugars.
