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.

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.
