Drawing game: Health

Hi guys, welcome back to another blog. For today in Health, we played a drawing game where we had a partner and that partner has to describe a picture that they got from the teacher, and their buddy has to try and draw the picture. I was buddy up with Bailey and we both had to draw pictures, my picture based was down at a beach near the sea and her picture was a color page with words in the middle. It was quite hard to draw because I had no idea what the picture was and if I was to give my draw and score out of 10 it would be a 5 out of ten. Next time I would like to do better when drawing but other than that we did well.

Questions:

What IP skill did you show/use today? Did you use any warm fuzzies?

The IP skill that I used was active listening because I had to listen to the instructions that my partner told me to do, and the Warm fuzzies that used were a Good job and keep trying.

How did it help with the success/lack of success, of the activity?

The warm fuzzies helped both me and my partner because they encouraged us both to keep going.

Who did you work with that went well today? 

I worked with Bailey and I think it went well because we both worked as a team and we didn't have any problems

If you were to do it again, how would you do it differently?

I don't think that I would change anything if I was to do it again.

What level of Helisons behavior model were you working at in this activity and provide examples of this? I think that I worked on level 3 because I was ready for the activity and we were being sensible and we were listening to what each other had to say.

Things that im grateful for:

Kia ora everyone welcome back to another blog post. Today in Wananga we had talked about our resilience board, and on that resilience board, we had to do a task. For today's task I had picked to write a couple things that I am grateful for and why. The reason I picked this task is because I don't think that I or other people talk or think enough about what they are grateful for. What Are you Grateful for? 

This is what I wrote:

Day 2 I forgot to mention that I am going to be posting things that I am grateful for, for the whole week.

This is my day 2 of what I am grateful for. 

 

Sciene experiment!

Hello everyone, for today's blog post I will be posting about one of the experiments we did last week with Mr. Reizinger and our class. the Experiment that we did was called Dilution and filtration where we had to add two chemicals (which are copper Nitrate and sodium Hydroxide) into a test tube and see which one made the most bright blu precipitate. 

Equipment:

1. 3 or 4 test tubes 
2. A test tube holder
3. filterPaper to make a funnel
4. copper Nitrate
5. Sodium Hydroxide

Method: 

Take 4 test tubes, and in the first one add measure and pour in ml of copper Nitrate. Then take 1ml of copper Nitrate and pipette into the second test tube. Add 9ml of water into the second tube to make it up to 10ml. Then repeat for the third and fourth test tubes.

Making the precipitate - Now add 5 ml of sodium hydroxide to each test tube.

Questions:

which test tube had the most concentrated sample?

The first test tube had the most concentrated sample because we didn't dilute it with any water.

when we added water what were we doing to the concentration of the solution?

We were diluting the solution (making it weaker).

 

Which concentration of copper nitrate formed the most precipitate. why do you think it's the case?

I think that the first tube formed the most precipitate because it had the most chemicals. 

Key terms:

Filtering is when you can separate the solute (solid) from solvent (liquid)

Separate means to split apart.

once the solvent has been filtered that is called Filtrate.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, I think that this experiment was a success because all the tubes made at least a little precipitate. I had lots of fun doing this experiments, but next time I would like to add more chemicals to see what happens.

The black dealth

 Hi, guys welcome back to another blog, For today's blog I am going to be posting my Torture devices Intro. We had to write a practice essay because next week we have the main essay AKA the essay we are going to be marked on. So far I have only written my intro, but I will keep adding on to this blog post once I have finished the rest. 

My intro. 

I think torture devices were one of the most painful devices used to torture people. Torture devices were used mostly in the medevil period (1300 - 1600).  Some of the common and painful used torture devices were, The iron Madien, The thumb screw, rat tourture, The breaking wheel, and many more. Many people like criminals and people who used the word of god wrong had been punished and tortured. Sometimes people got to speak freely for their sins and they're wrong, though sometimes people were confused and people had still be punished.

bunsen burner experiment

 Bunsen Burner Experiment!

Hi guys, welcome back to another blog. For our first period In Science, we did an experiment called the Bunsen Burner experiment. So what we had to do was first make an paper box, and then we had to put it over a bunsen burner to see how long it would last. ( the Box had water in it). Ours lasted for 5 minutes 8 seconds. 

Aim: To see how long the paper box filled with water would last under the Busen Burner.

Equipment:

1. Paper
2. Scissors
3. Glue stick
4. Bunsen burner
5. Safety Glasses
6. Heat mat
7. Tripod
8. Beaker
9. Timer
10. Lighter
11. Gas
12. gauze mat

Safety rules:

1. Safety Glasses on
2. Bags under table
3. Watch for people around you
4. NO running
5. start the flame Orange.

Rat Dissection:

For science, we did a disgusting but fun Dissection. We Dissected a white-furred male rat, It was very Fluffy and squishy and also when we opened it up it was very SMELLY!. Have you ever dissected a rat or any other animal?.

Summary:

When I  first had a look at the rat it was very soft and felt very lite. It was very unexpected because I thought it would be hard and also hard to cut it open. Some things that I had found were the rat's big intestines, and boy they were long!!. Next time I think I would like to explore and cut up more of the rat's organs and parts of its body.

Materials:

1. Scalpel
2. Scissors 
3. wax tray
4. Gloves
5. (Mask) Optional 
6. Pins
7. rat
8. Newspaper to layout on the table 

what we did:

1. The first thing that we had to do was cut open the first layer of the rat's skin. We had to try and open the first later without opening the second layer because we first had to pin the rat's skin down so we could get a better look at it. 

2. Secondly, we had to carefully cut the second layer without cutting the other organs.

 3. Lastly, we just had a little look around and started to open up other parts of the rat's body.

Steps: 

1. Get all of your materials and equipment ready.
2. Put your gloves on and set up your table with newspaper
3. pin the legs and arms down of the rat
4. Cut the skin off carefully without damaging any of the organs
5. Pin down the skin and carefully cut the rest of the rat open without cutting any of the organs
6. Try and find the stomach and the large and small intestine
7. once finished dispose of the rat in a rubbish bag and throw it away in the red bin.

Conclusion: 

This was a very fun experiment, it was again very unexpected and very smelly. Next time I would like to be more careful when cutting the rat's skin because it was very hard for me to pin the skin down without the blood of the rat dripping down its side of its body. But other than that I would differently do this again. 

Here is a picture of the rat

My Reading Journal

Hi, guys welcome back to another blog post. These are just some of the read summaries that I have written from the past couple of weeks. I might have missed some summaries but this is just what I have for you guys for now. Thank you for reading my blog post.

My Reading Journal : 11/2/20: Author David Williams :

Summary 

At the beginning of the story, it started with a boy called Ben Complaining about and refusing to go to his grandmother's house. Ben and his family were on the way to his grandmother's house and he had complained and talked bad about his grandmother the whole way. Poor Ben didn’t like going to his grandma's house because he thinks that it's BORING there and her T.V doesn't even work. Ben was the only grandchild and he was one of the only people who visited his grandma. Ben's parents have their date nights every Friday and they were obsessed with watching Strictly stars Dancing live on stage. The part I had last read was Ben being at his Grandma’s house and eating Cabbage soup which was a usual routine for him.

2 interesting words I found

1. Slumped

2. Crestfallen

 12/2/20:

Summary:

Ben had stepped away from the table for a few minutes while his grandma went to the kitchen to grab something. Ben had tried to find a way to get rid of the cabbage soup because it was just too much for him, he had to tiptoe around without knocking the books over that were spread all over the floor. He found a pot in the corner of the room and had decided to tip the soup in the pot. Footsteps stepped into the dining room and he ran to the table as fast as he could. It was the next Friday and Ben was explaining how much he wanted to be a plumber, but his parents didn’t want him to be a plumber, they wanted him to be rich and famous, but the thoughts of him being a plumber gave him an even lower chance of being rich and famous. A couple streets away there was a little dairy that people from miles away would still come because the shopkeeper made everyone smile. He had a lot of deals but they were sort of a rip-off, like for example, buy 24 and get 1 free.

1/3/21

Summary.

After Ben was getting some offers from the shopkeeper, He kept complaining about how fast the week was going and how much he doesn’t wanna go to his grandma's house. “ All we ever do is eat things that have to include CABBAGE, cabbage soup, cabbage pie, Cabbage everything, and it gets worse, she found cabbage flavored chocolate for us to eat after dinner,” Ben said. The shopkeeper listened and told him not to take his grandma for granted And that it takes time to get along with people.” look just cause your grandma is old doesn't mean she's boring”.

2/3/21

Summary 

It was another boring friday where Ben had to go to his grandmas again. They and dinner and by the time they were done Ben was told to go to sleep. “ But usually I go to bed at 9pm its only 8pm,” said Ben. ‘ No no little one its time for bed, go brush your teeth and then granny will come and read you a bedtime story. Ben walked to the old and dusty bathroom where he found a single lonely towel and a bar of soap. “ Look for those of you that dont wanna brush your teeth don't, just pretend to. So first you turn off the tap, put a bite of toothpaste on your hand and then put water in your mouth and trace the water and toothpaste around your mouth, then spit it out, and lastly turn off the tap”.  BOOM

 Summary 8/3/21

It was time for Ben to go to sleep and his grandma had quickly but slowly crept into the little damp room and said, Ben quickly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, “ Ohh I was going to read you a story but you are already asleep. Ben had gotten out of bed and tried and ring his parents to get them to come and pick him up but without a surprise they said no. Ben thought he had sawn a shadow behind him but then it had disappeared, “  I hope that was granny, I hope she didn’t hear what I said.

Summary 9/3/21

It was morning time and granny wasn’t acting normal she was more quiet then usually,” what if she heard what I said. Said Ben. “ Here is your breakfast” Said granny,” your parents are about to come and pick you up”. “Ok,”  said Ben. Broom Broom Ben could hear the Engine of his mum's old car, he rushed out the door without saying a word. “ Don’t you want to come in for a cup of tea?” Asked granny. No, it's ok, said Ben's mum. They sped out of the old grey road on their way home.

16/3/21

Summary:

It was another boring day and usually on Friday, we had to go to his grandma's house. He got to his grandma's house and walked, wrote to the little room and read the magazine he brought with him from home. Ben knew that he couldn’t stay in the room all day, so he walked out to the living room and sat down. “  Scrabble time “ said grandma.  “ All right, I'm coming” said ben. After playing scrabble granny gave Ben some boiled eggs, Ben hated eggs and everytime he got an egg he would chuck them out the window when his grandma wasn’t looking. 

 

22/3/21:

Ben had remembered that granny had a bunch of cookies that she was hiding in the top draw in the kitchen he hoped out of his chair and went over to the draw and had a little peak, there it was the tin of cookies. The tin didn’t feel usually, and it didn’t feel like cookies. Ben opened up the tin and it was filled with jewels like diamonds, rings, necklaces, bracelets and more. Ben's parents were just about to pick him up. His parents were there, but as he got into the car and drove off Ben asked, “can I please stay at grannys again?”. His parents asked why but Ben had no reason, “i'll ask granny if you can stay again”. His dad then called his grandma but then she replied with “ sorry i'm going out”. 

29/3/21:

Ben had to find out more about granny and the tin. So when he got home he quickly waited until his parents were making dinner, and then it was time for him to sneak out. Ben quickly rushed out the door and jumped on to his bike and puddled as  fast as he could on his way to granny's house.

 “ I need to get home before they finish making dinner and before the dancing stars finish”. He went to  granny's house and hid in the bush, she walked out of the house and jumped onto her motor scooter.

30/3/21:

Granny was going very fast and he needed to catch up before he lost sight of her.  She finally stopped, and she stopped in front of a jewelry shop which was weird.  She grabbed a rock that was in her scooter basket and broke the window and jumped through it. “ no” Ben yelled. “ Ben What are you doing here?, are you stalking me?”, “Hurry up we have to get out of here before the cameras turn off”. “ how do you know when the cameras turn on?” asked Ben. “ There is a lot you don't know about boys”.
