Hot and Cold water diffusion


This is what the liquid looked like before we added the purple crystal.The liquid we used was regular hot and cold water.











When we added the purple crystal to the hot water it stayed still and then after a few second it developed some movement.When we added the purple crystal to the cold water it did spread as fast as the hot water did.

Ball and Ring experiment


We held the ball using the handle over the bunsen burner first to see if the heat energy expand the ball when we put 
through the ring.There was a moment 
                        when the ball did caught fire.
  



When we heated the ball by itself it fit through the ring , then when we heated the ring it didn't really fit through but sort of did if we slightly pushed it through.You could see the colour changing when it was heated.














    When we heated the ball and ring you could not see the movement t
through the particles in them but if you used a magnifying glass you could see
 the movement through the particles starting to shake.

Filtration experiment



Introduction:
To separate dirty water and mud from water and at the end of the experiment have clean , clear  and drinkable water.

Equipment:
Fabric cloth
Clean cotton balls
paper towels
clean plastic cups
Plastic water bottle
Dirty water
String

                                                                                           


Method:
Step 1:
First thing we did was cut the end of the water bottle and used the rest of the water bottle for the filterer

Step 2:
We used the string to tie the fabric cloth to the end of the water bottle where we cut it and poured the dirty water over the fabric cloth

Step 3:
(Optional) You can do a second experiment to using a different method to see the differences between them and compare them.

Step 4:
You filter the dirty water multiple times and see if the water if any clearer and cleaner.(if you are doing this in a science lab don't drink the water.)

Step 5:
(Optional) In the third experiment put 6 cotton balls,paper towels, cup to put the water in and then tie the clean and dry fabric cloths to the end of the bottle where it was cut.Filter the water to get it as clean as it can get like in Step 4.See if there is any difference in experiment 1,2 and 3 because they got clean using 3 different methods.

Step 6: These are the results we got at the end of the session.

Do not drink this water just in case the is still bacteria contained in it.









Conclusion:
In the filtration experiment It took me multiple time before I got clean,clear water so don't be worried if your water isn't so clear.If the water isn't so clear and clean think about how many time you have filter the water,How many materials was contained in your water bottle and how you can improve to get the water clearer and cleaner.If the filtration experiment still doesn't succeed for you try and do what I did and do more that one experiment.

Dramatic performances

I went to see the new movie Jumunji: When 4 students of the school get a detention and one of then finds The Jumunji game and the all pick a avatar and get sinked into the game and have to finish the game to get back to their normal lives.Each of them got their own strengths and weakness's , Spencer was the only one who didn't get any weakness's.

I was also watching on the television Netball squad live.It was Africa v.s New Zealand . Before they started the game New Zealand and Africa sang the national anthems of their country . After the national anthems the started the game.At the start it looked like Africa was starting to win.But New Zealand was starting to catch up to Africa.I didn't get to watch the end of the netball game so i didn't get to see who won.

Mrs Clark went to go see the Cirque Grande circus: A circus with lots of child acrobats , e.g 12 girls balancing on one bike,:fire-eating,stilt walking; juggling and an amazing silks act where the acrobat hung ,without a safety harness,from the tent top.
