EOTC reflection

what was the best part in your opinion? why did you enjoy it?

My favourite part of the EOTC days out was going to jellie park. I enjoyed it because everyone was happy & having fun. And it was also my favourite part because everyone was getting along & going down the waterslide together, even when me & 7 other people went down and got told off at the end of the water slide.

was there something that challenged you?

yessssssssss. The a. forest was most challenging since im scared of heights, but it was also really fun because everyone was making me laugh, even when i didnt want to laugh.

if we were doing the EOTC days again, what other activity would you like to try?

I think i would like to goto the beach, because when when we went to spencer park we didnt get togo to waikuku beach. 

tell us 1-2 things you learned from one of the locations we visited?

1. not todo high ropes again

2. not let miss taylor take photos again

distillation

 last lesson we learnt that the process of evaporation is when a liquid turns into a gas. so we can separate a solution, by evaporating away the solvent to leave a solute (solid).

but what if we want to collect gas?? when we trap gas and turn it back into liquid this is called condensation.

what is?

-evaporation: heating a liquid, turns to a gas.

-condensation: cooling down a gas, turn into a liquid 

separating a mixture using distillation 

 aim: to separate a solute from a solvent in a solution using distillattion.

equipment: a solution saltwater,conical flask,heatproof mat,a delivery tube and bung, bunsen burner,tripod,gauze mat,retort stand,boss head and clamp,boiling tube

method: 1.set up the equipment as shown in the diagram

               2.add approximatley 50 ml of saltwater to conical flask.

               3.light your bunsen burner, open the air hole and gently push the bunsen burner under the tripod.

               4.heat the solution until most the solvent has been evaportated. turn off your bunsen burner.

observation: when watching the coke in the conical flask boiling and bubbles you can see less of the coke, and in the other tube there is a non-colour liquid. 

conclusion:

coke zero: had less dissolved substances 

coke: lots of dissolved sugar that was left in the end

Serial Dilution

 aim: do a serial dilution 

hypothisis: 

1.plave the 6 test tubes in a text tube racl. label the rack with numbers 1-6

2.using the measuring cylinder, fill text tube 1 with 10 ml of water. fill the remaining test tubes with 5 ml of water

3. using tweezers, add a single crystal of potassium permanganate to test tube 1

4. gently shake the test tube until the crystal has dissolved

5. using the transfer pipette,carefully remove exactly 5 ml from the test tube 1 and pour it into test tube 2

6.  rinse the transfer pipette thoroughly to ensure that no purple solution remains.

7. gently shake test tube 2 and repeat the transfer process, transferring exactly 5ml of solution from test tube 2 to test tube 3

8. rinse the pipette again and repeat the transfer process for test tube 4, 5 and 6

steak sandwich

 steak sandwich

Ingredients:

steak

bread

butter

salt

method:

first we got everything ready and started cooking the steak, when the steak was ready you butter and put whatever you want on your bread then add your cooked steak. then it was done because it didn't take long.

sight: i guess it looked alright 

smell: smelt like steak

tasted: like a steak sandwich

Rate: 8/10

What i would do differently to improve my score for the food: make more steak because it tasted like mayo more then actual steak

how did the team work together: good considering we had jayden in our group

filtration experiment

aim: to separate a solution from a precipitate (precipitate is the name for a solid that forms in liquid during a chemical reaction)

hypothesis:

method:

1.pour approximately 50mL of copper sulfate solution into a beaker.

2.add the same volume of sodium carbonate solution. a reaction will happen, you should see a cloudy blue precipitate form. called copper carbonate.

3.watch demo then fold filter paper inside of it, into the mouth a conical flask.

4.place the funnel with the filter paper inside of it,into the mouth of a conical flask.

5.stir the mixture in the beaker,then carefully pour it into the funnel.

6.observe what happend.

observations and discussion: it was blue liquid, then it went into a funnel with filter paper. and went all clumpy(blue solid) and then in the beaker under the funnel it was a clear liquid(the clear liquid is called filltrate) 

why the blue solid seperated from the liquid:

because it had large particles in it and the filter paper wouldnt let it through

first we did our mise en place using the ingrediants:

cheese

onions

garlic

pasta

butter

hamre

sensory evaluation:

smell- couldnt really smell it

sight- it looked good

taste- it tasted good but we shouldve left it in the oven longer

what i could do differently:

finished it earliar and leave it in the oven longer

how did your team work together? it was good because we made a 4 when maia came into our cooking class

HomeEc Pita Pockets

ingredients:

-pita pockets

-lettuce

-cheese

-carrot

-tomato

-onion

-sauces

-

-make pita pockets.

opinion-it was good but i didnt really like it cause my pita pocket broke and i had to try make it fit in my mouth

how to improve: try not to break my pita pocket and the lettuce shredded more.

inside out-nutrition and digestion

In science we were testing different types of food for simple,complex,carbohydrates,protein.

method:

-place 2 ml of (bread,milk,egg,apple,patato,sugar) in a test tube

-add 3-5 drops of iodine and mix

-add the food

bread-complex

milk-non complex

sugar-non complex

patato-complex

egg-non complex

apple-non complex

my hypothesis was correct! how we found out is it was positive or negitive was because

complex

+black

- brown

my results showed the

SEXXXY paragraphs

1

In this shot it is called a long shot. For example this can be used to show the whole shot instead of jst a little part. this shows the "other mother" making dinner in the kitchen. the directors purpose was to show the whole kitchen and the "other mother" dishing up dinner for Coraline and the "other father". this worked well with the setting because it looks more homey. this aspect can be compared to the kitchen in the real world where it looks a home no one lives in.

2

This shot used colour and lighting effectively. for instance this shows a artificial cold light coming from the wallpaper in Coralines room in the other world. this shows me that its girly and coraline likes pink. the director did this to bribe Coraline to live in the other world. this worked well with the colours and Coralines favourite colour. this aspect can be compared to the shot of Coralines room in the real world where it looks dull and boring.

dissection

Pig heart dissection

yesterday in biology we did a pig heart disection and learned about the purposes and reasons of all the veins and how each part works. 

atriums-entry ways where blood enters each side of the heart from the veins

arteries-keeps blood away from the heart

veins-take blood back to the heart

ventricles-v shaped cavities which pushes the blood into arteries to take away from the heart

muscled walls-strong to help squeeze and push the blood around the body

septum-seperates left and right side of the heart

heart strings-strong fibres that hold the valves in place

valves-one way gates. let blood only move in one direction.

refelection: 

it was yuck but funny to play with and when ibrahim cried about it, but i geuss it was fine and good to learn about. 

workshop 2: linking themes of the angles,movement and shots.

brainstorm:

whats happening in this shot?

-"other wybie" standing on the stairs outside the house. other mother asks him to smile from doorway, instead he frowns.

"other wybie" making self smaller-less of a target-head down,shoulders hunched. looks weak and vulnerable.

angles/shots

pov-other mother,makes her seem stronger,bigger, more dominant.

high angle-makes wybie look over powered, weak and vulnerable

wiewer-makes viewer feel sorry for/scared for "other whybie"

why did the director do this?

-foreshadowing-hinting at what is to come.

-hinting that maybe the "other mother" isnt so wonderful

-other techniques spotlight on whybie-like hes on the spot/under focus- dark around creates creepy atmosphere 

in the scene with the "other mother" and the "other whybie" we see high angle shots used to show the theme 'looks can be deicieving'. we see this when the "other mother" asks the "other whybie" to smile but he hunches over and frowns instead. this makes the audience feel sorry for the "other whybie" because he looks scared. the use of a high angle shot from the perspective of the "other mother" adds to this feeling as it makes the "other whybie" look weak and vulnerable. the director did this to foreshadow the change of the "other mother" from creepy to more creepy. coinciding with this is the use of lighting. a spotlight is on the "other whybie" emphasising that he is under the focus of the "other mother". this reminds of earlier in the film where a low angle was used to make whybie seem big and scary but really he was just ordinary.  this links the scene because it also shows a momemt when the look of a character was decieving.

what is happening in this scene?

workshop 1

theme & ideas- continious idea/subject that thinks throughout the text.

"looks can be deceiving"

-dont judge a book by its cover

-dont judge by the apparence

 example  1:

-when coraline first meets wybie- when we first meet him he seems scary(mask,motorbikes,use of high angle,loud music) but in reality hes just a weird neighbour.

-shows theme because like other characters our first impressions based on apparence,tone,visual techniques arent always correct.

-important because helps audience understand with Coraline that just because something looks good doesnt mean it is, she could choose the real world over the other world.

example 2:

charater of the 'other mother'- because she seems normal/friendly at the start but by the end of becomes a soul devourering spider demon.

-shows theme because 'Other mother" isnt what she appears tobe at the start so we should judge by first impressions.

-important because coraline realises that having something that looks perfect isnt always a good thing.

statement

-in coraline, the theme 'looks can be deceiving' is used effectively to engage the audience.

 

evidence

-for instance, the character of the character 'Other mother' shows us that looks can be deceiving because she starts off as a kind mother figure but gradually changes into a soul devouring demon.

explanation

-this makes us understand that we shouldnt judge a character based on first impressions as they can often be wrong.

xplanations

-this is done to help coraline decide between the real world and the other world. is the 'Other mother' was really perfect coraline wouldnt choose to go home.

xplanation(another technipue(shots/angles,music,setting,lighting/colour)

-combines with this is the use of colour and lighting. the 'Othe rmother' first appears in a vibrently bright room that makes us feel warm and safe. however,by the end it has become dark and green which makes the veiwer feel scared and shows that her first look was deceiving.

your link-this can be juxtaposed of the character of wybie who we think at first is evil but is actually kind prooving looks can be decieving.

NZ goverment compare and contrast paragraph

in power to the people hurumanu,we learnt about the maori authority system and the british settler goverment system.   this compare and contrast paragraph is about those two systems.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       in newzealand there were 2 types of goverments. one was the maori authority system and the other british settler goverment system.    the maori authority system was,poeple were responsible to their whanau. there were no courts,judges,police or prison. where as the britsh settler goverment system is when law was orginised to control sysioety there were set punishments. this matters because a bit of conflict happend cause they were different
