Slam Dunk

Today we are learning  how to do slam dunks we are writing about the middle ages.  Enjoy

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.

Arts Kete

For the last 6 weeks we have been doing something called Arts Kete.  For my Arts Kete I choose STEM.  In STEM Every week there would be a new challenge like making a zip-line that can carry 4 marbles.  The challenges that we did was making a zip-line that could carry 3 marbles, making a bridge that a car could go across the whole bridge without it breaking and we also had to make a marble run.  The materials we used was string, fishing line, tape, cardboard, cups, bottle caps and ice cream containers.  After we finished our challenge for the week our things that we made were judged by our teachers on creativeness and team work my team ended up winning because we had the most points at the end of arts kete.

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.
