Science - Volcano eruption

Hello everyone, in Science we are learning about Volcanoes, in this project my team and I researched about the volcanoes we wanted to make. The Volcano that we made is Taal Volcano. Here is the thing we had discovered. 

A caldera forms when a volcano erupts and then collapses, this creates a large depression.




Types of rock formations that form around the volcano.

Olivine Basalt is a type of mineral.

Andesite


Plan
Make a border around the volcano and make it look like the volcano looks like it’s submerged in water.
We need to make it slightly taller than the bottle we’re going to use while still making it look like just the very top of the volcano.

Making the base out of cardboard, we will roughly cut out the shape of the volcano.

Reaction: Elephant's Toothpaste
Hydrogen Peroxide and Potassium Permanganate - Turns brown as a chemical reaction between the oxygen and the Potassium Permanganate.

Put warm water in a bottle, then put Potassium Permanganate crystals. Mix.

Add 1-2 drops of detergent to the mixture.

Find an open space.

Pour Hydrogen Peroxide in a measuring cylinder, pour till satisfied with the amount.

Then, quickly pour the Hydrogen Peroxide into the bottle, wait for the reaction.

SEXXXY Paragraph 

In the scene 'They don't own me', dialogue is used to create a foreboding atmosphere. Katniss and Peeta are having a conversation about how the upcoming games might affect them. This is demonstrated by the quote "I don' want them to change me", another "If I'm gonna die, I still wanna be me" spoken by Peeta. These show that Peeta has a sense that he is going to have to do things that he doesn't want to do like kill others. This makes the audience feel sorry for Peeta because he is likely going to die, or to kill others to stay alive. The director did this to make us believe that Peeta die early and that being a tribute isn't something to celebrate but a loss of personal autonomy. This work well with colour the dark colours of black and greys which add to the foreboding atmosphere. This aspect can be contrasted to when Peeta joins the Career Pack once in the game because they are cold-hearted killers which is what Peeta didn't want to be.     

Workshop #5: Music | English2021

Tempo - Speed of the Music - fast/ slow/ moderate

Dynamic - Volume - how loud or quiet it is

Key - Major - Happy sound, Minor - sad sound sound

Rues Death: How is music used to create atmosphere:  Depressing/ sad/ mournful

Minor, tempo - slow, dynamics - quiet, gets louder as Katniss raises her salute and District 11 riots.

- What happened - Rue is killed, Katniss tries to give her body the closest to a burial that she can. 

- Colour/ lighting - While flowers, natural lighting, greens, stands out ⟶ innocence and pure - Rue never killed anyone, kind, compassionate, victim.

- Shots/ angles - Medium close-ups - Rue and Katniss - see their emotion and facial expression - anguish 

- High angle - weak and vulnerable - Rue is an inoocent and blameless victim. 

🠂Effect on the viewer - the atmosphere of remorse/intense sadness, as the volume increases it builds the intensity of the emotions - we see emotions are contagious - hope.

Directors purpose: feel Katniss's emotions at that moment - remorse, anger, helplessness, acceptance, rebellion 

- Symbol of 3 finger salute is a sign of defiance and anger toward the game makers - you will not take my humanity, also a symbol of unification with those who have lost loved ones to the games.

Music is used to create an atmosphere of sorrow and remorse in Rue's death scene. In this scene we see Katniss dealing with the slaughter of her young friend Rue. For example, the tempo is slow, the dynamics are quiet and the key is minor to reflect the emotional rollercoaster that Katniss is feeling. Like the music, Katniss moves slowly and methodically to cover Rue's body in white flowers. As she finishes, the music build in volume, showing the increasing intensity of her anger and grief towards the Capitol. This makes us understand the pain experienced by the families of the tributes when they are killed each year. This was done to enable the viewers to feel the characters' emotions. This worked well with the use of white flowers to symbolize Rue's innocence and purity and the high angle shot making her weak and vulnerable. Combine with the music we are shown that Rue is a victim of the cruelty of the Capitol.  

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.

We are asked questions for this and here are the questions.
