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.

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.

100 Word Challenge | And then I saw it...

100 Word Challenge | And then I saw it

Hi readers, today I am going to be showing you the 

"100 Word Challenge" 

I did in class today, for this we needed to include 

"And then I saw it"

Here is what my 100 Word Challenge looks like.

Walking through a smokey Halloween festival. 

It was dead silent, I saw people walking around dressed as ghosts, skeletons and zombies, their outfits were realistic.

It felt like a haunted graveyard with real dead people.

And then I saw it, I noticed they were real zombies, Ghosts and Skeletons! 

I felt like I jumped out of my skin and I had the fright of my life.

I saw a doll against a tree, it was moving but I thought it was the wind, I went to look and it looked at me.. I ran away as fast as I could.

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

Art - Water Colour

Art - Water Colour

Hi readers, today I will be showing you the Water Colour we did today in Poetic Arts - Hurumanu4.

For this we got a piece of paper with 4 squares saying Drip, Blend, Salt And Splat. 

And we got to pick 2 colours of paint but you can pick more if your doing this, 1 paint brush each, 1/2 Cup of water and Salt.

How to make the water colour: 

(Put your paint brush in the water then dip it in the paint)

Blend: Do 1 colour at the Top, Side, Corner etc and the other colour on the opposite side. And blend them

Drip: (make sure there's more water on this one) 

Put any size dots on the paper then hold it up so it runs down the page.

Salt: Put the salt on the paper then brush the paint over it.

Splat: Get the paint brush and hold your brush on top of the paper in the air then with your other hand gently hit it so it splats on your paper.

Here is my Water Colour:
