Filtering

In today's session my class are separating liquids.  Filtering is a gadget that separates something from a liquid.  My hypothesis is that it might separate the liquids together. down below is our method

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 to fit inside the funnel

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 happened.

During our practical we filtered the two liquids together and the out come is the the top of the funnel is filled with the blue sludge and at the bottom of the conical flask.

100 word challange

This week for ESOL we started to do our one hundred word challenge for our activities. So far I wrote about my music and my culture. but through out ESOL I will be doing more of these topics

shark infested custard

Today for one of our practicals for Health, we played a game called Shark infested custard, we just needed all 6 of our team members across the basketball court with 3 hula hoops and we also could not shuffle the hoops and touch the court. my team was really good but one down fall was that we shuffled some hoops. but at the end we communicated with each other and got to the end at the end.  

Cup activies

 My class did in activity which tested our patient and interpersonal skills. The activity was easy, we just needed to put our 5 cups to the other table and the fastest time wins with all the cups in the other cup. I was really proud in my team because we cop-orated and got 14 seconds ending up with 4 cups .

Types of governments - Kurt Warde

 Democracy

Democracy means that we can change their rules in a peaceful way.

My opinion- In my opinion democracy is not my favourite because Some people might think that the person they are voting for might not be the best for the countries.

The country that has it- In my country (which is New Zealand) our government is democracy which is how Jacinda Adearn became prime minister.

Monarchy

Monarchy means that the leader's siblings get past down their spot to carry on the generation.

My opinion- Monarchy is my favourite and the reason behind this that it is really fancy and we don't have to worry to much about it.

The country that has it- England is one of the countries that have monarchy in their country.

Dictatorship

A small group of people possess absolute power without constitution limits.

My opinion- This government is pretty decent but the quileutes don't satisfy me to be one of my favourite governments.

The country that has it- China is one of those countries that have Dictatorship as their government. But there are more names that have the same situation. 

Communism

 a system in which goods are owned in common and are available to all as needed

My opinion- I mean i like this government is good but things are missing that it isn't the best. Like the leader owning the stuff people have.

The country that has it- Cuba is more on the communism government than other governments.

Totalitarianism

Totalitarianism is a form of government that attempts to assert total control over the lives of its citizens

The country that has it- North korea is one of the famous countries that are known to have Totalitarianism.The citizens in North Korea have lots of limits than other countries with Kim jong un as their supreme leader.

Oligarchy

a small group of people having all the control of a country or organization

The countries that have it- Russia is one of a lot of countries that have the government as an Oligarchy.

Anarchy

Anarchy does not have a government in a country.

Countries that have it- India is one of the countries that are involved with the countries that have Anarchy.

 In the start of the term I have Mrs Costello as one of my hurumanu classes. First of all my whole class made reflective art which was really fun. But through out this trem we have been doing challenging work but at the end I learnd somthing.

Do now week 4

 In my opinion rugby is not the most definitive sport of Aotearoa. Because it doesn't dominate other sports like net ball and other. In other points rugby is mostly the national sport. Adding to this statement both other sports have their own unique trait.

schools should have more mufti days - Week 4 - Kurt Warde

 First and for most in my opinion I agree schools should have more mufti days. 1) some school uniforms are a bit of a hassle. 2) Some school uniforms may irritate or make other students uncomfortable. To connect to this statement some schools should allow students to wear mufti for them to feel comfortable and  express their fashion sense.

week 2 do now - Kurt warde

 First of all I don't really support this statement because all people/students should express their own style of fashion to school. some uniforms are pretty expensive and annoying to wear but at the same time schools want kids to represent their school by wearing school uniform.

All about Bees (Earth Day) - Kurt Warde

 Last week I did a pink task involving all about bees. The task we had to do was to present my topic in a interesting way, but I made my simple and full of facts.  In the bottom of this blog you can see my work all about bees ;) . Thank you

Rat dissection - Kurt Warde

 For our first session of the term we got to do a dissection. Our teacher gave us the tools we will be using for our dissection. Ms Abernathy first showed us how to cut the chest open to investigate the organs and the digestive system of the rat. I know that it was really gross but it was really interesting. It was a really fun and I had a really good experience. 

Do now week 2 - elaphants are the greatest animal of all time

 First of all I disagree to this statement because other animals in the animal kingdom are more superior than the elephants. the Reason is that elephants get threatened by other smaller creatures such as hyenas and lions. 

week 1 Do now - Kurt

 School holidays should be one week long

Having a holiday would be fun but at the same time we should be going to school. the reason to this is that school is very important for kids that is the reason that our caregivers/parents put us to school. School is meant to be fun and on going we learn great things that can create a great impact in our lives. And yes, school can Be boring in some stage but it is really important that we should be listening to important stages in our school life. 

P.E

In P.E so far this year  we have done were Touch,Volleyball,Football, and Ki O Rahi. The one I liked the  most was volleyball. The reason behind that is because you get to challenge yourself to work around people and work out good strategies to win. My least favourite sport so far was football because I lack a lot of skills around this sport. To improve I have to keep focusing and practising around the sport I want to practice.

Oil and gas are known for the energy they produce to the modern world. China has one of the largest consumers of oil and gas

(Drilling)

Drilling rigs consists of a large, wide and flat called a platform.

(transporting)

Oils around the world are usually from a large and successful oil businesses such as USA and ASIA.

(Uses)

USA and China uses more than 10 million gallons of oil a week

Oil is not a renewable energy so we have a limit of oil in the world soon we will have not much oil we have today
