8 rules Jellie park poster

Today I have been tasked to do an 8 rule poster about the pool. I am doing this for our trip to Jellie Park next Thursday.

Distillation Experiment

Today we are doing a Distillation experiment which includes Evaporation + Condensation. Evaporation is when liquid is turned into gas using heat in this experiment this is used to make a solid like the last experiment (Separating a mixture using evaporation). Condensation is when gas is turned into a liquid which his cooling the energy. Combined together this is called Distillation.

Aim: to separate a solution (Coke/Coke Zero) to form a solid + a Liquid.

Hypothesis: I think by evaporating the coke method. That both cokes will turn into a clear colour and make one of the coke a solid and liquid in the boiling tube because of the Distillation.

Using classic coke

Observations: Our observation was that when the coke started boiling. The steam from the gas bubbles started going through the tube into the boiling tube (evaporation). When the steam went into the boiling tube, the beaker full of ice went under the boiling tube and it started cooling/condensing the gas, making the gas turn to liquid again, but this time the liquid was more clear than coke. After the coke turned into a sludge-like material. This is Distillation.

Conclusion: My hypothesis was kind of correct I think. What happened was that the bunsen burner was making the flask full of coke boil. Then the gas bubbles started making steam then the tube started bringing the gas towards to boiling tube with the ice then condensing the gas    

Discovery Task: How gaming can affect your mind and body

For the last past month, we have been tasked to do research on any health topic to our liking. I and my partner then have to decide on what topic. We chose to pick on how gaming affects your mind and body.   

The first thing I did was to pick a topic which we did, and we had to choose 5 big questions that would be answered which is related to the topic. After there are three difficulty levels, these are rookie, pro, and finally legend and we, of course, chose legend. 

When we chose our 5 big questions, we then had to research the information about the topic to answer these questions. After we did the researching, we had choices on how we are going to present the work. I have chosen to make a cartoon strip on a google slide.

Here is my planning sheet with info and everything I needed for this presentation.

Reflection:

Well, first of all, picking the five questions was hard because we had to be specific on what topic it links to then modifying it, but unfortunately, my friend Jeff L was my partner for this topic and well he had to go back to China, so it made the work a little bit harder, but as you can see I have managed to get it all done during periods. I think I did well, I mean it would probably be a little bit better if my partner is here. 

Researching this stuff was kinda easy it was quite tricky writing these down though since I 'tried' to be informative and having fun at the same time with the presentation it's quite a weird balance between them, but I reckon that the outcome of this is pretty cool. 

Next time if I do this I would probably use better strategies to help cope since it's just basic ways to normally cope with gaming, but overall this has been a fun learning experience despite some human errors but the presentation made up for it, plus almost period of health I have been learning some new things on what gaming does to your mind and body, and of course, I have to end on a side note my work was something entertaining since we get to work on something I am interested about and I liked it.        

Planning a Social event

In business, I have been tasked of doing a social event plan, this involves a budget of $5k and we need to sort out how are we going to use our money, plus we are gonna need to sort out people who have specific careers like a DJ and security.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

$5000 - $2500 - $400 - $400 - $350 - $755 - $420 - $115 - $30 = $30

Total Spent: $4970

Surplus: $30 

_____________________________________________________________________________________

This was a fun activity that involved budgeting. I think I did well in this because I did some calculations and  I had to research prices for specific services and products. When it comes to budgeting you have to be exact on what things you want/need to buy, example like how are people going to see and where are they gonna sit.

black death poster - No toilet paper

Today in chaos we have been tasked to make a single poster on one topic relating to medieval times. my Topic is when toilet paper wasn't invented yet.  

Slam Dunk Paragraph

 Slam Dunk Paragraph

What was life like as a peasant in medieval times? Well basically, this is an easy answer and everybody should probably know it’s Sad, Torture, Tiring, Stress, and non-hygienic. They always have to do the dirty work for the noble people so that they can live. Most importantly they were slaves to the noble people. The evidence is from a book (Epididmas through time) representing a peasants life and showing the POV of one, informing us the peasant’s jobs and hardship. Overall a peasant’s life was very grim and pitiful. 

How was torture during medieval times? Toture during the medieval times was a series of contraptions and equipment methods either to get the victim to confess something or to kill. One of the contraptions is called 'the rack', this contraption is used to stretch arms and legs. They do this by tying a rope to the arms and legs and they tie it to the wheel, they would crank the wheel and it would stretch the victim's arms and legs. This is used to make them confess information they would need and if they don't confess they will split in half. This is information was found in the 'Wikipedia'. Overall torture in medieval times was painful.

Separating a Mixture using Evaporation

Solute: Solid - Copper Sulfate

Solvent: Liquid - Water

A Solution is when a solid is dissolved into a liquid.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aim: To find out what will happen to the Copper Sulfate

Hypothesis: I think that the Solute (Copper Sulfate Solution) will be dissolved because of the heat and it will be turned into a liquid instead of a solid since its being evaporated. The way we are doing this is basically the way on how to cook dumplings.

Equipment: Copper Sulfate Solution, 250mL Beaker, heatproof mat, evaporating basin, element.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the start of the experiment we started with a solution which is Copper Sulfate. Then we put 100mL of water (Solvent) into a beacker and we got a tiny bowl that's fits over the beacker and poured a quarter of Copper Sulfate into the tiny bowl. Next we put the beacker that has the tiny bowl over it, onto a element and turned it on. After that we observed it until it was boiling. When it was boiling we could see that the heat  has been evaportaing the water in the Copper Sulfate and leaving the solute there which is the crystals.   

My hypothesis is incorrect since I did not notice that the boiling water would evaporate the water in the Copper Sulfate. 

I kinda liked this experiment since it was something new and learning these types of things can be a little hard but if you understand them more you start learning about them more frequently.

Savings Animation

 Savings Animation

Today in Business Studies we have been learning about savings/budgeting. So I'm here to show you my learning so far, to you guys. Plus this might teach you something about savings. I have made a cartoon slide to show you the basic's of savings sit back relax and enjoy. 

So what is Savings and why is it important? Savings is basically an extra amount of money (income not spent) that you have but in a place where it is safe. You could use it to be more secure in life just in case a bump in the road might occur. This bump is thought to be bills and fees etc. 

How do you get a savings account? Well if you don't want to do it with you could just get a piggy bank or you could do this step by step savings account guide.

1. Compare your options. 

2. There are many financial institutions that offer savings accounts. 

3. Gather the required documents.

4. Choose a joint or individual account. 

5. Fund your account. 

6. Submit your application. 

7. Set up online banking. 

8. Interest rate. 

9. Fees.

(Mention choose a trustworthy bank of your choosing)

So what went well and what didn't go well during this? I guess what went well during this learning experience is that I could do an animation relating to this subject. What didn't go well is that it took a long time to make it. I feel like my learning is understandable to other people and I would like some feedback from people if it was difficult to understand or something I missed, it would be highly appreciated. I have used one website for this, the link is underlined and blue with the word guide if you wanted to know. Plus I've already learned this but it was still fun.

Dilution Experiment

Definition of Dilution: Making something less concentrated. There will be less particles in the liquid.

A dilute solution contains a small amount of solute.

Filtration Experiment

Aim: Separate a mixture we have made using filtration.

Hypothesis: By filtrating, the mixture, which they are both liquids( Copper Sulfate & Sodium carbonate), the liquid will turn pale blue, it will not separate because they got the same size particles.

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.fold filter paper to fit inside the funnel

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

 

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

6. Observe what happened.

(Hypothesis is wrong)

Results: We started with clear and light blue chemicals that were both see-through, then we mixed them and they went to a non-see-through solid in the water. Then we filtered them and we waited for the filtration to happen and finally, we saw that it made a clear liquid the non-see-through part was a solid, filtering it removed the solid which is the copper carbonate. Why did this happen? This happened because the copper carbonate was mixed into the Sodium Carbonate, which then has made the blue solid precipitate. After Filtrating the combined mixture the Sodium Carbonate has been separated from the Copper Sulfate because the Copper Sulfate has been turned into a solid. making the Copper Sulfate go down the funnel.

Copper Sulfate + Sodium Carbonate ----> Copper Carbonate + Sodium Sulfate + Sodium Sulfate.

PE Gymnastics

Today my focus is on some card activities in gymnastics The 3 activities where one was a roll through a hoop, and I did a flip of tramp onto a foam block, and also I managed to jump over the cone on the beam but I only did it once and couldn't get the recording because I was too scared to do it again.

Overall this experience was fun and I would do it again.

DTE Assessment Reflection

In DTE, My group and I have been assigned to do a Sphero project. This involves coding, construction, and participation. 

We were thinking of building the Mad Max vehicle but then we decided to build a colosseum. After we made our plan we needed some parts for our project,. Then I started to look for some printout paper on google. I had found some of the parts of the took a millennium and it basically took li colosseum on google, but then we needed Mr Carter to print them out. As soon as Mr Carter printed them out we started cutting the parts of the paper we needed, but we had a few human errors during some periods. It has taken quite some time since cutting spike strips precise 7 - 8 minutes just to cut 1 spikey strip. So... this took a really long time and it was basically just us cutting paper for like periods, plus we didn't even know if we were going to finish on time. I could say this is a catastrophe but we tweaked with the plan, this time we changed the plan and now it's way different this time we thought of cardboard in our idea, and we could basically shape it to what we want, so that's what we went with. To keep in mind we were still using some of the paper for the decoration so we could make the cardboard look more authentic, but the coding was still a problem. We didn't really know what to do besides the move feature so we started practising with some features with the sphero app. 

Personal Reflection:

Overall this has been a fun learning experience coding and constructing and I would probably do this again because it was quite interesting to learn. It was kinda hard coding and we didn't really know what to do so we basically just made them clang into each other by just making the Spheros move into each other with these codes. Although the cutting was the worst part, those spikes had my butt clenched cause you had to be so precise. 

What our plan was gonna look like originally but much bigger:

Code:
