Crazy Crystals

Welcome Back

Aim: To learn about a saturated solution and how to make crystals

Definition of solution: 

A liquid mixture, when something is dissolved into a liquid (eg: sugar in water) 

Definition of saturated: 

Having or holding as much as can be absorbed of something (when no more sugar or borax can be dissolved into the water)

In groups of three you will make three different types of crystals and compare the results.

Borax Crystals

Ratio; 3 Tablespoons Borax per 1/2 cup water

Materials

1) Cup or glass 

2) Cut up pipe cleans in to three it should look like the photo 

3) Warm water  

4) Borax 

5) Popsicle stick

6) String 

7) Spoon 

Process

Step 1: Grab a cup or a glass

Step 2: Put 3 tablespoons of borax and a 1/2 cups of water in you cup

Step 3: Mix it all together 

Step 4:Tie a string to your Popsicle stick 

Step 5: Make a star out of you pipe cleaner and tie to you string 

Step 6: Then put the string and the star in to the water and watch the magic happen 

Step 7: Document what happens  

What my groups looks like

  

Sugar Crystals

Ratio: 1 cup sugar to 1/2 cup water

Materials

1) Cup or glass 

2) Spoon 

3) Warm water  

4) Sugar

5) Popsicle stick

6) String 

Process

Step 1: Grab a cup or a glass

Step 2: Put 1 cup of sugar but put a little at a time and a 1/2 cups of water in you cup

Step 3: Mix it all together 

Step 4:Tie a string to your Popsicle stick 

Step 5: Then put the string and the star in to the water and watch the magic happen 

Step 6: Document what happens  

What my groups looks like

Salt Crystals

Ratio: 4 Tablespoons salt to 1/2 cup water

Materials

1) Cup or glass 

2) Spoon 

3) Warm water  

4) Salt

5) Popsicle stick

6) String 

Process

Step 1: Grab a cup or a glass

Step 2: Put 4 tablespoon of salt but put a little at a time and a 1/2 cups of water in you cup

Step 3: Mix it all together 

Step 4:Tie a string to your Popsicle stick 

Step 5: Then put the string and the star in to the water and watch the magic happen 

Step 6: Document what happens  

What my groups looks like

Findings

Crystal Type	Shape (Describe the shape)	Size (of individual crystals)	Hardness (Crumbly to Rock Hard)
Borax	Star	large	soft and hard
Sugar	Tube like	large	Hard
Salt	Tube like	Medium	Rock hard

What crystals worked out best and why?:

Conclusion:

CRYSTAL TYPES

AIM: TO LOOK AT THE 7 DIFFERENT TYPES OF CRYSTALS

Salt Crystals

Sugar Crystals

Borax Crystals

7 different crystal shapes

Type	Number of sides	2 examples	Image
Triclinic	7	Turquoise Rhodonite House
Monoclinic	10	house with a pointy floor and a coffin
Orthombic	5	Rectangle Rectangle tube
Trigonal	10	Diamond shape dipramid
Hexagonal	8	Tube like hexagon
Cubic	6	dice like Box
Tetragonal	12	Cube like rectangle

Explain how the following crystals are formed?

Type
Salt	First it starts with sea water and then they put it in a pond so that it can filter from there on the sun evaporate what they have left for the filter and there you have salt.
Sugar	Sugar cane Cut it up roll it get the juice heat it that makes syrup Crystallisation also know as sugar.
Snowflakes	Formed in the sky and the colder it gets the more it get bigger.

Next time I would like to Make the borax one my group of two not including me made the borax one  only one borax one worked it looked so cool and my one did not work and all the salt one works I think my sugar one did not work because I don't think I put and the salt one BYE. 

Skittles The magic with in them

Skittles The magic with in them.

In week five We worked with Skittles (hard things to work with) (that was just a joke)

The Aim: To separate colours by using the process of chromatography.
Materials

1.Skittles

2. Water

3. Plate

Process:
Step 1 get you plate out 
Step 2 put your skittles around the plate   
Step 3 put about 1/2 cups of water on the plate  
Step 4 watch the magic happen.
Step 5 document what happens

My findings are:
Well the magic stated by the skittles colour started escaping the skittle and into the water.

What have I have learned from this well that the colours do not stay in the skittles.
and go in the water.
The colours for my group did not join together.
I think you should not but the together because they will look cool apart. 
Here is what my groups one looks like 

  HOPE YOU LIKE IT BYE BYE        
        

Drama Week 6

DRAMA

WELCOME BACK 

This week of drama we made puppets.
My group was Elisha Mae, Shreya, Risha and Me
Credits to 
Elisha Mae for most of the drawings 
Risha for the amazing idea
Shreya for being apart of our group. 

Here is a photo of my groups puppets
hope you like them we have made a two rip signs to but we made them after we took the photo and a back drop with a blue sky and clouds but next time I will take a photo for them:  

  
So today we had to get in to those groups and we did some writing on what we will do with those puppets so here it is: 

Hoped you liked my blog post today

Welcome back 
Today I am talking about my goals. I have made a biteable.  
So a biteable is a web site that you can make a slide thing that has music and a lot of cool other things here is the link you should check it out. Here is my biteable:
  
Hope you like my biteable one day I hope I get to see your amazing ones.

CIP 'Community Impact Project'

Community Impact Project

Explain the community you have chosen:

The Community I have joined is Aotearoa, New Zealand.

This Group is my passion because I love helping the whole of New Zealand.

The one idea I am interested in the most is helping the homeless and making homely bags for them like clean blankets etc.

How will I achieve my idea?

 I will achieve it by hard working and making some supplies myself. I would give these bags to the Salvation Army to give to people in need.

BYE hope you like it.

1 tsp Edmonds baking powder  or 1 tsp baking soda                            
2 tsp butter
1/4 cup milk, approximately or 1/4 cup lemonade.
The ones we did are Normal, lemonade and baking soda.Normal, lemonade and baking soda.
1/2 cup Edmonds standard flour
1 tsp Edmonds baking powder   
2 tsp butter
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp of baking soda 
1/2 cup Edmonds standard flour
1 tsp Edmonds baking powder   
2 tsp butter
1/4 cup lemonade 
MIX it all up one by one and the recipe only makes one or two
                                      The The  Recipe the we did for the other one's The baking soda one:The lemonade one:
Materials:
Plate
The Ingredients
Oven
Spoon
Progress:
Step one: Find all your ingredients
Step two: add all your ingredients
Step three:
 Step four: Then get it out of the bowl and knead your dough 
Step five: Then put it on the tray
Step six : Put it in the over at 425 F

TRIAL NUMBER:	COLOUR	TASTE	HEIGHT (CM)
1. NORMAL	brown	Pasty in middle but good	40
2. BAKING soda	creamy white	GROSS	35
3. lemonade	white with brown spots	Lemonade-ye

45

So the data that I have got they all are around the same height. My favourite one was lemonade.

It was a easy to make scones if you know how.
