Making Water | Experiment

Making Water | Experiment

Hi readers, today I am going to be telling you about the water we made a few days ago.

For this we got inspired from the movie called "The Martian"

We got given a few things to include in our blog, here they are:

Aim: We are trying to make water.

Hypothesis: 
I think the water will succeed and mine wont do a pop sound like its meant to.

Equipment: 
Magnesium, Hydrochloric Acid, Beaker, Test tube, bigger test tube as a lid to keep the gas in, 

Method: 

1. Get magnesium and put it in the smaller tube,  
2. then put the bigger tube on top and pour a few drops of the acid in the smaller tube with the magnesium.

3. Then put the bigger tube on top as a lid and wait a few minutes.

4. After that get a match that is lit and put it in the tube.

•  Sometimes you can hear a pop sound but if you don't another way of telling if it is don't or not is seeing if the tube went foggy.

Observations: 
As I was watching it I felt the tube heat up and the magnesium start bubbling. When I heated it up I saw the tube fog up.

Conclusion: 
When we finished my tube didn't make a pop sound like it was meant to. 
And the fire part smelt like gas 

Discussion: 
My findings were finding out that magnesium and acid trapped in a tube can make a bubbly chemical that reacts to fire and makes a pop sound.

Evaluation: 
My opinion is that some pop sounds were cool and I think I should have let mine sit a few more minutes and then try get the pop sound.

I hope you enjoyed reading my blog, if you have any feedback or positive comments please leave them in the comments.

History Of Aotearoa | What I've Learnt

History Of Aotearoa | What I've Learnt

Hi readers, today I am going to be telling you about the history learning we have been doing in hurumanu1 - "Who Are We"

For this we looked at a few things to do with Aotearoa, watching videos and reading about it. 

We watched a rap video to do with history and why we need to learn about it and if you want to listen to it here is a link.

Why we learn about the history of Aotearoa [Rap]

We need to include in our blog posts:

• Why we need to learn about the history of Aotearoa
• Events in the history of Aotearoa 

-Treaty

-War

-European Settlement

-Voting

Also we celebrate things like this to remember what people did.

Why learn about the history?

1. So we know more information about it and be able to know if we had ancestors in the war.

2. So we know what mistakes people made and teach us not to                                                         do the same.

I hope you enjoyed reading my post, if you have any feedback or positive comments please leave them in the comments.

Poetic Arts | Learning Story

Poetic Arts | Learning Story

Hi readers, today I am going to be showing you the learning story we had to do in class a few days ago.

For this we were reflecting on what we did about hurumanu4 - Poetic Arts.

A learning story is a document you reflect on about what you did during hurumanu4 and how we did it.

Here is mine:

My Learning Story
Hurumanu: 4    (Poetic Arts)
Name: Shania	Teachers:  Ds, Bh, Sc, Ht, Miss B.			Term	2020
Reflection: Give at least three examples in each of the boxes below.
What We Did:   We did Water colour | Doing: Drip, Splat, Blend, Salt. - we used and choices of 2 paint colours, paint brushes and paper.  Weaving | We used black, white, coloured and textured paper, Glue stick, Scissors,          (I didn't finish mine) it was about a Taniwha book we read.   Tapa art | We used a piece of white paper for our practice then went onto a final piece of paper then using charcoal over our drawings and blogged about them. Maori patterns | We drew patterns onto a small piece of paper to use in our weaving. Read books about the Rakaia Gorge and The Creation Of Tuna |  Then we did a few haiku poems and blogged about them after reading the 2 books.
What I Learned:   How to weave  How to do (Drip) with watercolour What tapa art is
My Favourite Part:  Doing watercolour - Experimenting with the salt.  Able to draw the patterns `Weaving
My Next Steps:  Be better at the weaving and be faster at it because I didn't finish.  Be better at drawing the patterns and add more to them. Get better at doing the drip with water colour
CARR Values:  Make a statement below describing how you showed each of our CARR values during this Hurumanu.
Commitment Being committed to the work we are doing and focusing really hard to finish it off.		Achievement Achieving goals and finishing work you need to achieve.
Resilience Not giving up when there’s something hard.		Respect Respecting the stationary and people around you.
Any other comments I enjoyed doing the water colour because it was easy and fun to do, and at the end we got to see what we did and how cool they looked.

I hope you enjoyed reading, if you have any feedback or positive comments, please leave them in the comments.
