Making salts

  

Aim:

To produce copper sulfate salt by reacting copper oxide with an acid.

Equipment:

• Copper oxide powder
• dilute 
• sulfuric acid
• 50mL measuring cylinder
• two 100 mL beakers
• Bunsen burner
• tripod
• gauze mat
• funnel
• filter paper

Method:

1. Add 20 mL of sulfuric acid to a 100mL beaker. Heat the acid until it reaches 70 C Turn off your bunsen burner.
2. Once heated, use a spatula to add pea-sized portions of copper oxide to the beaker.
3. Repeat step 2 until no more will dissolve.
4. Fold the filter paper and place it in the funnel.
5. Make sure the beaker is cool enough to hold at the top.
6. Gently swirl the contents of the beaker to mix, and then pour into the filter paper in the funnel. Allow the filter through.

Observation:

We did this experiment and then we saw the boiling sulfuric acid turned to green.

beatles tour

 

Hello, today we learned about the Beatles and here is the blog hope you learn something new from it.

So many people liked the Beatles music but some people didn't and people who liked their music was mostly young ladies and they loved Beatles music because they were the first singer that sang about love, sex, drug and those kinda stuff and that's the main reason why young girls were going crazy.

People who didn't like their music was old people because they didn't really understand them and they thought that the Beatles should not really be singing because they thought that they are going against religion and stuff they thought they are singing and going to hell.

Thanks.

Beatles ( Social studies )

 

Name of the song: Hey Jude.

The lyrics:

Hey Jude, don't make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

Hey Jude, don't be afraid.
You were made to go out and get her.
The minute you let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better.

And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain,
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder.

Hey Jude, don't let me down.
You have found her, now go and get her.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin,
You're waiting for someone to perform with.
And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude, you'll do,
The movement you need is on your shoulder.

Hey Jude, don't make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her under your skin,
Then you'll begin to make it
Better better better better better better, oh.

Na na na nananana, nannana, hey Jude...
(repeat X number of times, fade)

About The song:

The ballad evolved from "Hey Jules", a song McCartney wrote to comfort John Lennon's son, Julian after Lennon had left his wife for the Japanese artist Yoko Ono. The lyrics espouse a positive outlook on a sad situation, while also encouraging "Jude" to pursue his opportunities to find love.

BEEP, BEEP, BEEP

It was early in the morning and the alarm went off and the alarm was loud as lightning. All I saw was fire and I felt the fire on my face, I heard my mum shouting '' Get up and go outside '' as soon as I got up I took my phone and I jumped out of my window. Our house was a two-story house and it was big as a football field and it was the best house we could live in.

This happened on Anzac Day- Sunday, 25 April( Monday )

We remember what New Zealand and Australian soldiers go through and how hard it was for them and even how some of them passed away during world war 1. The song has a strong theme of shared fear in combat.

It played on ANZAC day on 25th April and its really important because new Zealand and Australian soldiers served their lives for their country.

Parihaka

 

Parihaka:

The lyrics of the song:

My friend, My friend, I hate to see you suffer
Events conspire to bring us to our knees
My friend, my friend, you've taken this the wrong way
Rise up, defend yourself, never give in
Look to the sky, the spirit of Te Whiti
The endless tide is murmuring his name

I know Te Whiti will never be defeated
And even at the darkest hour
His presence will remain
I'll sing to you the song of Parihaka

Te Whiti he used the language of the spirit
Then stood accused, the madman and his dream
He saw the train go roaring through the tunnel
He heard the voice travel on the magic wire
But he loved the silence of the river
He watched the dog piss on the cannon's wheel

I know Te Whiti will never be defeated
And even at the darkest hour
His presence will remain
I'll sing to you the song of Parihaka

One day you'll know the truth
They can't pull out the roots
Come and take me home
To weep for my lost brother
They gather still, the clouds of Taranaki
His children's children wearing the white plume
So take me for the sins of these sad islands
The wave still breaks on the rock of Rouhotu
And when you taste the salt that's on your pudding
And when you taste the sugar in your soup
Think of Te Whiti, he'll never be defeated
Even at the darkest hour
His presence will remain
I'll sing for you the song of Parihaka
Come to Parihaka
Weep for my lost brother
The spirit of nonviolence
Has come to fill the silence
Come to Parihaka

The Link to the song:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsM1nL5aLSM

The main message of this song is to bring awareness to the tragic events that occurred to the people in Parihaka.

The lines "I know Te Whiti will never be defeated, And even at the darkest hour" are evidence of their determination to never give up.

This shows the significance of Parihaka by speaking about Te Whiti and how brutal this event was and the troubles they went through. It also shows how many people were affected.

"His children's children wearing the white plume" explains their passive resistance method.

The line "You can't pull out the roots" refers to their ancestors that brought them here and the history that has occurred on their lands.

Bullying

 

Hello everyone today in health class I did a blog post about Bullying and how bad is it and how it makes people feel and what to do when you get bullied so hopefully you will learn something new from this blog.

1-Why do some people bully?

Because they think ist ok to bully other kids and they think they look cool when they bully people and they don't really care how other people feel.

2-Why some people are most likely to be bullied?

Because they don't stand up for themselves and maybe because they are scared.

3-Why bullying is harmful?

Some people think that bullying is a part of growing up but bullying makes people feel unsafe, unhappy and lonely, bullying makes people lose confidence.

4-What can you do if you are being bullied?

You talk to them and sore it out or tell an adult like your parents, siblings, teachers, coaches and they will help you out, If you are getting bullied stand up for your self don't let them bully you or letting them to be mean to you.
