Making salt

Aim; To produce copper sulfate by reacting copper oxide with an acid.


Method: 

1. Add 2oml of sulfuric acid to 100 ml beaker. Heat the acid until it reaches 70 c. Turn off your bunsen burner.


2. Once heated use a spatula to add pea-sized portions of copper oxide to the beaker stir the mixture for 30 seconds.

3. Repeat step 2 until no more will dissolve. Allow the beaker to cool enough to hold at the top. the contents should still be hot you may need your teacher to complete this step.

4. Fold the filter paper and place it in the funnel. Place the filter funnel into the second beaker.

5. Make sure the beaker is cool enough to hold at the top. The contents should still be hot. You may need your teacher to complete this step.

6. Gently swirl the contents of the beaker to mix and then our into the filter paper in the funnel. Allow to filter through.

7. Rince the beaker you used to heat the mixture previously and place it back on top of your tripod with 50-60 ml of water.

8. Place the evaporating basin on top of the beaker and carefully pour some of the solutions from the beaker into the evaporating basin.

9. Gently heat the beaker until the solution in the evaporating basin has reduced by half.

10. Leave the evaporating basin to cool. Once cool, move the evaporating basin to a warm place where it will not be disturbed ( i.e a window sill) and observe over the next few days. Blue copper sulfate crystals should form.

Making Homemade Indicators

Aim: To Make acid-base indicators using everyday substances.

Equipment: Tea bag, Beaker, Water, Tripod, Bunsen burner, Gauze mat, 1.0 mol L-1 HCI and 1.0 mol L-1 NaOH.

Method: Put 100 ml of water into beaker and boil.












Turn off the Bunsen burner and put three tea bags in the beaker.

Remove the tea bags when the tea is very strong.

Place in a small beaker and leave to one side.




Result
This is what happened when the tea touched the acid and the base. The color turns lighter with the acid and darker with the base.

English



In English, we are learning to make S.E.X.X.Y. paragraphs on film making. I am doing mine with Nathan.


The director is using a long shot to show that the guard in prison is making sure that the black Africans are doing something that they are meant to be and making sure that they are not up to no good.



In this scene, the director uses the aspect of a long shot. The director uses a long shot we see the guard's legs and a baton that is either on a belt or in his hand and we see P.K, Doc and Geel Piet standing in a doorway while the guard is looking at them. The director uses the long shot to make the scene more worrying because the guard looks more intimidating. The audience feels more worried about Geel Piet because the guard might beat him. The long shot makes him look more intimidating.
Critical Literacy:

What does the director of the film The Power of One John Avildsen want us to know?


That everyone in the world is equal and they are not different



How does the text depict Black Africans ?/ Afrikaners? and the  South Africans





Is the text fair in how it depicts these people?

No, because  everybody is equal and they are not different

Atomic science

Aim: My aim is to make an accurate Neon Atom model

Materials: beads, paper, pencil, tape, Blue tac and string

Method: Get all the materials.
              Stick all the red beads to the outer rings off string forming electron particles
              Stick Blue tack in the middle stick two other colored beads to the blue tack stick it to the                      paper
         
Discussion: There are 3 types of particles
 Protons - give off positive charges
 Neutrons - give off neutral charges
 Electrons - give off negative charges

Result:
 

Conclusion: I think I could work on finishing it faster.

My Life In London

My time in London was terrible everyone I held dearest to me had died from either cholera, typhoid of typhus. All I was ever taught was work work work and I despised it. One day while I was strolling to work I noticed a poster advertising a place called New Zealand it said New Zealand a new beginning meet at the ship dock tomorrow if you would like a new beginning with better education and more job opportunity's I decided I would go. the next day when I got to the dock there was a person in front of a humungous ship he was waiting for the fellow people who wanted to go to New Zealand. When we got on the boat it started to move I was kinda sad at first because I was leaving my home the place I was raised my native land but I was excited I was about to have a new beginning I think it took about maybe 75 to 120 days to get there. while we were on the boat we played games and looked at the aquatic view.

When we eventually got to New Zealand all I saw was mountains and a path so I followed it. Not too long after we saw a small city that helped us out with housing I was shocked when I saw the houses because the houses back in London there was barely any room to even stand live but here there was loads of room in the houses additionally it kinda smelt fresher because it was less polluted.

textiles 2019

In textiles we made a thing of our choking I chose to make a pencil case

My aim is to make a working pencil case
In textiles I chose to make it out of camo fabric because  It matches some of my other stuff
  this is the end results 
I liked the end result
I didn't like amount of time it took to make it
