Complete combustion experiment ~ Science

In Science, we are learning about combustion so I have decided to do THIS

Combustion is when a chemical will react between the oxygen and another thing.

Aim: I want to find out what happens

Hypothesis:
There's not really a hypothesis because I already saw the video ( WHICH I DON'T RECOMMEND YOU WATCHING THE END RESULT BECAUSE THAT'S A SPOILER UNLESS YOU JUST WANT TO SEE THEN PROCEED WITH MY BLOG)

Equipment:

• Water ( Colour it if you want to see what is happening)
• Candle
• Plate
• Glass
• Matchsticks or a lighter

Method:

1. Grab your water with or without the colour in it 
2. Pour your liquid on the plate half full.
3. Place your candle in the middle of the plate.
4. Light the candle
5. Grab your glass and place it on top of the candle with the open side facing down so it's like a dome cave thing
6. And now watch as see the magic

Results/ Observations:

I think it went pretty well as you can see from the videos... I hope 

Conclusion/ Discussion:

The reason why this happens is that there was oxygen in the glass with the candle in it which had a lot of oxygen ( Air) and so the something happens to make it be able to get rid of the air to make room for the water to rise in.

Evaluation:

What would I do the same?: Literally the same thing

What would I do differently?: Maybe find different was to see how it would work.

Mask~ Drama

In Drama, we are looking at comedia style stuff that involves being a character with or without a mask so we watch taming of the shrew and all that and how people preform with facial expressions with or without a mask on.

So then we created a mask for ourself so we looked at all the masks, picked one out and made it out of paper mache. So here is my process...



I chose the one with the pointy nose because I wanted mine to stand out and seem unique, well all the mask was unique but this one stood out to me. Mine turned out good but there was some hole everywhere so I adapted to it and made it look like my person was the plage doctor that is starting to have the plage.

My one challenge was to make the mask because I have never made a paper mache mask before.
I was very surprised that it came out good because I thought it would be a flop.

Ideal World ~ English

In English, we are thinking creatively for today we are talking about: If you have the power to change the world what would it be and look like?.

In my ideal world, I would have peace where everyone will get along and no one would have beef ( no drama and no problems). Everyone will have soft hair and soft skin because...... yo... Everyone should keep the earth healthy and happy. People will live longer because the amount of death is sad BUT when you die you get reincarnated to a different life

How to make it a reality: Maybe by giving each other compliments, help clean around your neighbourhood. Don't know about the soft skin, hair, and life bit though.

______~ Home ec

Our last practical was_______ ( can't remember the name so anything that has ________ is the name of it)

_____ is in my opinion like stir fry but with noodles. This meal consists of noodles, meat, vegetables, and soy sauce. The way it was cooked is letting the noodles sit in a bowl of water for 10 mins then draining it and leaving a 1/2 of the access water with it ( but little ol me didn't read the recipe because I was under stress and so I accidentally drained the whole thing -__-) anyway once that is all happening you cook all the other ingredients with each other . You got to make sure that the meat is moist, not hard because if it is it's going to be burnt, and you don't want that happing. 

Teamwork:

Eh, could have gone better, I felt like I was out of my head because I wasn't in the right mind state but we all tried to make it work 

Outcome:

The outcome was good it was well presented but I wouldn't know what it tasted like because I didn't eat it but my sister did so i'll tell you her feedback in the conclusion.

Conclusion:

Taste: 3/10. My sister rated that because she felt like it was too soy saucey because it looked like it was drenched in it

Prep: 2/10. I think we did ok I guess but I felt like we could have done better with all the prep.
Teamwork: 7/10. I felt like some of us was working together and others were lacking 

Treaty~ Social Studies

In social studies, we are learning about the Treaty of Waitangi. SO once we learnt about it we got to pick a treaty between the United States & Native Indians, and England & Scotland. I chose the United States & Native Indians treaty. To show our learning we have to present our work and I chose to do a poster ( also sorry if it's not enough or complete I found it really hard to read and gather information. This is it so far i'll update it later)
