Gummy Bear Osmosis

 Kia Ora,

Aim:

I want to find out what happens to Gummy Bears when we put them into different solutions.

Prediction:

I predict that they will dissolve into the solutions.

Method:

Equipment

• 4x Gummy Bears of the same colour 
• 2x petri dishes
• Paper towls
• Maker pen
• Water
• Sugar water
• Salt water
• Electronic balance
• Beaker
• Measuring Cylinder

Instructions:

1. Get your equipment.

2. Put on your safety glasses.

3. Using the marker pen, write the name of the condition on the petri dish. DRY, WATER, SALTWATER, SUGERWATER.

4. Weigh the Gummy Bear and write on the petri dish.

5. Measure 40mL of the solution and pour it into the petri dish

Results:

	Dry	Water	Salt water	Sugar Water
Initial weight of Gummy Bear	5.81g	5.36g	5.73g	5.45g
Final weight of Gummy Bear	5.70g	6.52g	6.22g	6.05g
Weight difference	Lost 0.11g	Gain 1.16g	Gain 0.49g	Gain 0.60g
Initial Volume		40mL	40mL	40mL
Final Volume		0mL	10mL	7mL
Volume Difference		Lost 40mL	Lost 30mL	Lost 33mL

Discussion:

1. Water got sucked up the most out of all the gummy bears. 

2. The dry gummy bear lost 0-11 grams over a week

3. The sugar water diffused faster than the salt water

Diffusion is the movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Diffusion happens in liquids and gases because their particles move randomly from place to place. Diffusion is an important process for living things; it is how substances move in and out of cells.

Body Percussion!

 Kia Ora,

Today I am sharing with you my recent work with Ms Costello and Miss Bankroft's class. I am in a group with Freya and Malama. First we had to pick a group and then find somethings we could use for the body percussion. We chose a abacus, beanbags and jandals. After that we went on the field and started finding a beat we could do. It started off with me starting with the abacus slowly swishing it side to side. Soon after Freya joined in with the beanbags, following with Malama with the jandals. Here is my work:

Superhero's

 Kia Ora,

Here is a bit about my recent work

A superhero is a person who is admired for their courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities. I made slides about 6 sporting heroes. They were Chealsea Bremner, Ryan Nelson, Maria Tutia, Israel Adesanya, Anthony Davis and Lydia Ko. I also made some slides about a local hero who achieved his own building career and even got a figure of him made in Christchurch. We read about a musical group called crowded house. They were said to be heroes for one day! When they performed in Christchurch recently. We discussed the meaning of ‘hero worship’. The hero I worship is my sister Sam because she actually saved my life. Here are some of the Earthquake heroes I researched: George Piper, Lucas Perelini. Andrea Robinson, Alison Gallant, Ashley M Vickers, Blair Corkman, Canterbury District Health board, Chris Cole and the Airforce Museum. I also wrote about a superhero of my choice about a random person. My Alias was mind reading. Here is my story: Jeff starts his day by waking up at noon and making coffee, then sending Snapchats to his close friends. After that he looks out on his balcony and sees couples and goes back inside and decides to listen to drivers license and then got a call that people were in trouble. He gets ready and gets more ice coffee and then goes and saves the day. That’s a day with Jeff!

Skittles!

 Kia ora,

Today I am doing for science skittle art! Skittle art is when you use water and some skittles and then it is suppose to make the water turn into different colours. 

Aim: To use water to extract the dye from skittles using the process of chromatography.

Materials: 

1. 5 Skittles 

2. Water

3. Petri dish

4. Beaker

Process:

Step 1: Place the skittles in the peri dish around the edges.

Step 2: Pour 100ml water  gently into the middle of the peri dish.

Step 3: Watching the dye move in the middle.

Conclusion:

Colour	Tally	Number
Green		0
Yellow	l	1
Red	llllll	6
Purple	ll	2
Orange	l	1

Why do they bleed out at the same rate? They bleed out the same because when they were made they add the exact same amount of colour. 

Why do the colours not mix together? They don't mix together because they are sorta different I don't really know why. 

Here is my groups skittle art:

Using a Bunsen Burner!

 Kia Ora,

Today I am sharing with you my experience today from using a Bunsen Burner. Today me Malama and Canada got into a group. I had the task of holding the test tube over the flame. When it got bubbly I poured it into the water. Here is some of the rules and more.

Aim: To demonstrate how to heat a liquid inside a test tube.

Equipment: Bunsen Burner, Heatproof mat, lighter, test tube, test tongs and safety glasses.

Method:

1.  Light the Bunsen Burner.

2. Fill your test tube to approximately 5.ml water.

3. Turn the collar at the Bunsen Burner so it is a blue flame.

4. Holding the test tube with test tongs, tilt the test tube on a 4 degree angle and not place bottom of the test tube into the flames. Be sure that the mouth of the test tube is not pointing towards people. 

5. Gently wave the test tube in and out of the flame. Remember you are trying to heat the liquid gently. 

6. Once the water starts to bubble gently, take it away from the flame. Carefully pour the hot water in the sink.

RAW RAW robot!

 Kia Ora,

This fine evening/ morning I am sharing with you my ideas for my robot. In class we were looking at inventions that changed the world but then the teacher asked us to make our own invention for the future with a whole idea and we had some questions. We had problems and Solutions that we came up with together. My idea was that there was a big robot that go's into polluted beaches and waters and picks up all the rubbish but scares the sea animals away with a noise hat scares them. The rubbish would come in and go into a room that has fire proof everything, It lets fire out and burns the rubbish and then it turns to ash and goes into a big room that stores it. Here is some of the questions and my answers:

1. The robot use is to go in the ocean and collect all rubbish

2. It's made out of iron and strong glass to look out from RAW RAW's eyes and they are in the headquarters on land close to where RAW RAW is working.

3. Someone is controlling RAW RAW’s every move and gets the rubbish

4. It charges when it is not moving and when the rubbish comes in it goes to a special room where it burns the rubbish. So the fire doesn't get out, there are special walls that fire cant burn. 

5. It would be used in the polluted oceans and then moves along and gets more and more rubbish

Music

 Kia Ora,

Today I am sharing with you the songs I like for music.

1. Breathin Ariana Grande 

I like Breathin by Ariana Grande because it's kinda a vibe and I like all her songs. I like the lyrics and the beat of the song. I think it's one of her best songs. I love the music video and her outfits. 

2. Rude Boy Rihanna

I like rude boy cause the beat and the start of the song is just great. I wish she did a music video because she's really good at them. I like the lyrics and how you just vibe with the music. It is really old but still makes you dance.=

3. Toxic Britney Spears cause you always need a little Brit moment. 

I love Britney Spears and I love the song toxic. I swear when I was like 4 I was singing that like a freak but I love the beat and the music video. I like the lyrics and the middle bit. Again it is an old song but I love it. The music video is fire.

How cars changed New Zealand

 Kia Ora,

Today I am giving you something new to read. Today is about how cars changed New Zealand from the 19th of  February 1898.  Ages ago cars first came to New Zealand and here is some information about it. 

There was this little car there and the owner William decided to name it Lightning. It was smaller than the other cars and could only go 16 kilometres an hour but the other bigger cars could go up to 50 kilometres an hour! He wanted to show everyone how good he was at driving so he took the mayor for a ride, all was going good until he crashed into a fence. The mayor hurt his nose and everyone was in shock because they just witnessed New Zealand’s first car crash.

+

Cars made it easier to carry heavy things.

Cars give us shelter from weather while driving

Cars help us travel long distances

Cars help us get to places more quicker

-

In New Zealand hundreds of people are killed or hurt badly in car crashes every year

Cars can make us lazy. We stop walking and cycling and become and unhealthy and unfit.

Some cars can be expensive to run and maintain.

Exhaust fumes from some cars can pollute the air

If there are more cars we need to build more roads.

It was an article and the maker of the book is Bronwen Wall. 

The point of the article was to teach you about when New Zealand first got cars and car accidents that happened and more. 

I hope you have an enthusiastic day! Comment if you want.
