I am a student at in Uru Mānuka. In 2020 I was a year 9 and in 2021 I will be a year 10. This is a place where I will be able to share my learning with you. Please note....some work won't be edited - just my first drafts, so there may be some surface errors. I would love your feedback, comments, thoughts and ideas.

Expansion
Expansion:
Applying heat
Contraction:
cooling down
-Aim: To observe contraction in gases.
-Hypothesis: I think the water gonna evaporate and the can would cool down.

Tea bag rockets
Teabag rockets
Today we learned about Convection in chemicals class and we did an experiment called teabag rockets.
Aim:
To observe convection in real life.
Equipment:
Teabag without tea, lighter.
Method:
First of all, we have to empty the teabag and set it up and use the lighter to fire it.
Result:
The teabag was flying on the air and it's because the particles are spreading out cause its hotter and it makes fly and that called convection.
Thanks and hope you have cool day.

Diffusion
Diffusion: Diffusion is the movement of a substance from an area of high construction to the area of low construction.
Aim: To observe diffusion in a liquid.
Equipment: Petri dish, water, tweezers, a crystal of potassium permanganate.
Method:
- Half fill your petri dish with cold tap water.
- Place the petri dish on your workbench and allow the water to become settled.
- Using the tweezers, place a single crystal of potassium permanganate in the center of the petri dish.
- observe for 5 minutes.
- Repeat the experiment using hot water.
Result:
In cold water: Diffused slower
In warm water: Diffused faster
Discussion: hot diffused faster and heat of the water made the particles break apart faster, and because cold is thicker it made the particles break apart slower.

Matter
Matter:
The matter is almost everything around you, everything that has mass or takes space is matter.
the different state of matter:
solid: particles are not moving
Liquid: particles move not to fast
Gas: Particles move quickly.
Solid to liquid: melting
gas to liquid: condence
liquid to gas: evaporating
liquid to solid: freezing

Distillation
Separating a mixture suing distillation
Aim: To separate a solute from a solvent in a solution using distillation.
Hypothesis:
I think its gonna evaporate and I think there would be no sugar.
Equipment:
- A solution of saltwater
- Conical flask
- heatproof mat
- a delivery tube and bung
- Bunsen
- Burner
- tripod
- gauze mat
- retort stand
- boss head and clamp
- boiling tube
Method:
- Add approximately 50 mL of saltwater to your conical flask.
- Light your Bunsen burner. Open the air hole and gently push the Bunsen burner under the tripod.
- heat the solution until most of the solvent has been evaporated. Turn off your Busen burner.
Result: The coke was boiling because the heat was under the beaker and the water of the coke was evaporating from sugar and left the sugar behind.
Discussion: first we put the coke on the heat and then when the coke started boiling and then it made bubbles and then the coke started evaporating and the liquid in the boiling tube was so clear and that called condense.
Conclusion: I was wrong because the water turned to gas and the sugar left behind.
