Multiplication 12x12 table

Today for Wānanga I made a multiplication 12x12 table. For this multiplication 12x12 table, it teaches you different ways to find the answer for your equations. This table is multiplication from 1 through to 12. I know these multiplication equations very well but it's always good to repeat them so they become fresher to your brain. 

Here's my table of my multiplication 12x12:

Acrostic Poem Using My Name

Today for Wānanga I made a acrostic poem using my name of interesting things about me. For my acrostic poem I tried not using my everyday words which I think a successful achieved it.

Here's my acrostic poem:

I hope you found something newly interesting about me! 

Chromatography Experiment

Aim: To separate to pigments from a felt.  

Hypothesis: I think the pigments from my pink felt will separate. I think the pigments from my black felt will separate. 

Equipment: 

1. 250ml beaker
2. A strip of paper 
3. A felt 
4. Water  

Method:

1. Add 50ml of water to the beaker
2. Get a strip of paper 
3. Measure 2 fingers of yours then put a dot with your felt 
4. Place the paper in the water 
5. 5 minutes later remove the paper from the water, lay it on a hard surface  

Results: 

I choice pink for my first try of this experiment. My color stretched and only showed 1 pigment which was pink. Miss Abernethy my science teacher choice black for my second try for this experiment. My color stretched and showed orange, blue, purple band of course black. 

Discussion: 

My results are saying that pink only has 1 pigment and that black has 3 pigments. Next time we do chromatography I'm going to try all different colors instead of just two. 

Conclusion:

The experiment worked as it told me the different pigments in colors. My hypothesis for pink and black was correct as there did separate. 

Evaporation Experiment

Aim: Were trying to use evaporation to separate the solid from the liquid in a solution of copper sulfate. 

Hypothesis: I think the liquid will disappear and leave crystals.  

Equipment: 

1. 250ml beaker 
2. Evaporating basin
3. Element 
4. Heat proof mat 
5. Copper Sulfate 
6. Water  

Method:

1. Set up element 
2. Add 50ml of water to the beaker 
3. Full a quarter of the evaporating basin with copper sulfate
4. Place the beaker on the element 
5. Keep observing to find results 

Results: 

Our results were saying that the copper sulfate evaporated when the element heated the water boiling hot. Also our copper sulfate completely evaporated and left crystals around the sides of the evaporating basin.

Discussion: 

My results are saying that the copper sulfate evaporates when the water is boiling hot. Next time I'd like to watch it evaporate to see the process of evaporation using copper sulfate. 

Conclusion:

The experiment worked as it told me that copper sulfate can evaporate in boiling hot water. My hypothesis was correct because our the copper sulfate evaporated and left crystals.  

Tsunami

Last week on Monday we got the option to choose the one we wanted to study and I choice to do the tsunami one. I was suppose to watch a video but it wasn't allowing me to watch it. I made a digital column graph on google sheets.

Here's a photo of my tsunami column graph:

Kiwi Baker - Spiced Cinnamon Apple Muffins

Last Friday for home economics we made spiced cinnamon apple muffins. Making spiced cinnamon apple muffins was really enjoyable. My group made the normal spiced cinnamon apple muffins for home economics. This time we made the dough perfectly compared to the last 2 times. I didn't really like them as there wasn't much flavor throughout the muffin. 

This is what our spiced cinnamon apple muffins look like

9/11 Timeline

Last week on Monday we started 9/11 which is a tragedy that happened in New York City. We watched a video on 9/11 and then made a timeline on what happened on the times of the video. I made a digital timeline on google drawing. 

Here's a photo of my timeline:

Kiwi Baker - Pizza swirls

Last Friday for home economics we made pizza swirls. Making pizza swirls we another good start to the partical side of home economics. My group made tomato paste, cheese, onion and bacon pizza swirls. This time we didn't over work our dough and also we didn't cook to pizza swirls to far a apart. So my group and I have learnt from our mistakes from the scones and made the pizza swirls way better.  

This is what pizza swirls look like if you didn't know

Shot Pot

Our second session of PE Hurumanu we done athletics practices as it's getting closer to the time. We did shot pot, I forgot to write down the technique but I did measure the distance I threw.

1. Hold with 3 fingers, use your thumb and small finger to balance it
2. Keep your arm up when you throw
3. Lock with wrist 

Discus Technique

Our first session of PE Hurumanu we done athletics practices as it's getting closer to the time. We did discus, I forgot to write down the technique but I did measure the distance I threw.

1. Roll off your small finger 
2. Wrap 4 fingers around it
3. stand side on the line
4. 1 wind up not 3 

Evaporation

Today in science we worked around evaporation. We could choose to work individual or in a group, I choose to work in a group with Hope. We made a slide show on evaporation as we had to answer 3 questions to do with evaporation.
