Passion Project - Glass Painting

Hello guys, for the past few days we have been working on our Passion project. The passion project is about the things we wanted to try out and also what we wanted to do at that time. We are divided into other classes because of the topic we have chosen. The project we are doing doesn't have to be finished because we are just finding out the outcome and what we have experienced or what we found hard about that topic. We are asked questions for this and here are the questions.

What did you do/ what project did you do?

- I did a glass painting.

What did you find hard about this?

- It's when I was paiting the character that I picked an also when chosing the colour.

What is the most important thing I learned personally?

- I learned how to be a bit patient and also to find out how to enconter the problems that comes in my way.

What did Hitler says about Jews? | Social studies

Hello everyone, on social studies, we are looking at why Hitler hates Jews or how Hitler viewed the Jews. We look at the quotes that Hitler wrote and what does he mean. 

"The Jews were responsible for bringing negroes into the Rhineland with the ultimate idea of bastarding (lowering the quality of) the white race which they hate and thus lowering its cultural and political level so the Jew might dominate" 

The quote is about Hitler blaming the Jews for how they ruined the white race and lowering their culture. Hitler is saying that Jews are evil and should not let them dominate their country because Hitler said that Jew doesn't like white people and they want to lower their race. Hitler thinks that if Jews take over they want their country to weaken.  

DNA Extraction | Science

Aim: To extract DNA from kiwi fruit 

Equipment:

- Kiwi fruit 

- knife (to cut the kiwi fruit)

- Sand 

- Ethanol 

- Beakers

- Water 

- Heat Mat

- Bunsen Burner

- Test tube 

- Dishwashing liquid 

- Sandwich bag 

- Tripod

- Cloth 

- Spatula 

- Gauze Mat

- Glass rod

Method: 

1. Squish kiwi fruit with sand with water and pour through the cloth to collect the juice in the beaker. 
2. Use the beaker to warm the water, pour juice into the test tube with 2 drops of dishwashing liquid and rest in warm water. 
3. Add Ethanol, watch the DNA separate and collect with a spatula. 

Result: 

Discussion: The Dishwashing liquid separate the walls of the DNA cells. When we added the ethanol it separated the DNA layer from the kiwi fruit and it floated at the top of the tube. 

Critical literacy - Representation (young people and alcohol)

Is this text fair?

- This text is fair because it explains how young adults/ young people should not be driving drunk.  

How are children, teenager, or young adults constructed in this text?

- That young adults or men like to drink a lot. That they are likely to drunk drive. 

How does the text present age, gender or cultural groups?

- That men like drinking alcoholic. That men's go-to bar more. That men are more prone to be more alcoholic than females. 

Why is the text written this way?

- Don't drink, don't drive. That the men are considered more alcoholic and stereotype this way.

321 RIQ - 10 ESOL

 Hello everyone, today in ESOL we are learning about 321 RIQ. First I have to explain the meaning behind about 321 RIQ. 321 RIQ meaning is 3 Recalls, 2 Insight, 1 Question. The 321 RIQ helps our learning by remembering 3 things about the lessons that the teacher have taught, learning 2 new things that we haven't learned, and 1 question that we haven't ask the teacher. The strategy is that we will have much better literacy and we can always ask the teacher if we are to shy to ask in front of the class. This also can help our teacher to understand what we are up to, or what type of learner we are.

 321 RIQ reflection:

In ESOL, the 3 things that I remember about our lessons is introducing ourselves, we also learned more about our teacher and classmates, and also we learned the 321 RIQ. 2 things that I learnt about it is that I know my classmates more and also get to know my teacher Mrs Truter. I also learned more about the 321 RIQ, about the meaning behind it and how this will help our learning. 1 question I want or I want to know more about is, our teacher Mrs Truter, I want to learn more about her since she's still new in Hornby High school, and I want to get to know her more. 

In conclusion is that 321 RIQ will help our studies more because we can improve our writing and also our literature. This can also help our classmates to understand the lessons we had and this can also give information about what level of learning we are in.

Hurumanu 3 - Chemistry Mixing and dissolving

 Hello everybody, so today we are learning about Mixing and dissolving, we have to find how who move faster in what temperature. 

What are the ideas from today? The idea for today is to mix and dissolve or to know what temperature to dissolve the sugar first. 

What factors effect dissolving?

Experiment: Aim, method, result

Aim: Rate of dissolving depending on temperature and stirring. 

Method: In this experiment, we have to have 2 beakers one is small and one is big. We also need a spatula to put the sugar in the water and also for mixing. The first one we did was to put the big beaker cold water and this has to be in 50ml, We have to stir it, We also have to time it the same as we put the sugar and stop when the sugar has dissolved. The second one is the same thing but we have to put hot water, it also has to have the same water as the first one and the amount of sugar we put. The third one is the first one but we can't stir it. The fourth one is the same as the second one but we also don't need to stir it.

Total and average time: Coldwater + mixed= (total) 490sec (average) 70sec |  Hot water + mixed=(total)  213sec (average) 27sec | Coldwater + No stirring=(total) 622sec (average) 24.4sec |  Hot water + No stirring= (total) 590sec (average) 98sec

Why the result happened? 

The hot water gives more energy to the particle and moves around more and the cold water make it slower and that's why the cold water is taking a long time to dissolve.

The Somalia

At 06:51 in the morning, I’m awake, I’m at the cargo ship drinking my coffee looking at the pretty ocean and by the way my job at the ship is a captain and my name is John.  I’m looking at the ocean I saw a little boat coming at our cargo ship so I felt nervous about it.  

Then my crew hear someone was rushing and my crew saw some pirate’s and they want to get our cargo ship because it’s big. Then the pirates turn to a group and First they came at the cooking area eating our food. Then they go at the fixing area and they came at my driving space, I’m so scared and I can’t talk to them. Then the other pirate said that he is the new captain and he get my captain hat and he said give the key so I give the key then all my crew get out off in side at the ship .

Then a pirate opened the cargo and they said where’s the stuff? Then the  robot came out at the cargo and the pirate’s felt scared by the robot. They ran around the ship and captured all the pirates and everything was safe once again
