Distillation

 Filtration: Solid+Liquid

Evaporation: Liquid to Solid

Distillation: Liquid to gas

What is...

Evaporation: When you give liquid heat it the particles seperate and the particles end up turning into a gas.

Condensation: This is when you take heat away from gas or cooling it and it turns into a liquid.

Distillation Experiment:

Am: To seperate a salute from a solvent in a solution using disillation.

Equipment: A solution of coke, conical flask, heatproof mat, a delivery tube and bung, bunsen burner, tripod, guaze mat, retort stand, boss head and clamp, boiling tube.

Method: 

1. Set up the equipment as shown in the diagram.

2. Add aproxximately 50ml of coke to your conical flask

3. Light your bunsen burner. Open the air hole and gently push the bunsen burner under the tri pod.

4. Heat the solution until most of the solvent has been evaporated. Turn off your bunsen burner.

Hypothesis: I think that the all or most of the sugar will stay in the first boiling tube and then the liquid that goes through the tube will be a black water like liquid. 

Observations: From what I saw when the heat first started the coke started to bubble, later on as it started to boil the heat made the coke evaporate into the tube and created it's own liquid.

Separating a Mixture using evaporation

Aim: To take a solvent and a solute out of a solution using evaporation.

Hypothesis: I think it will boil up and create steam.

Equipment: Copper sulfate solution, 250ml beaker, heat proof mat, evaporating basin, element

Method: 1. Set up element 2. Add 100ml of hot water to the beaker and place on the element 3. Add copper sulfate to the evaporating basin until it is quarter full 4. Carefully place the evaporating basin on top of the beaker 5. Turn on the element to 3 6. Heat the solution until most of the solvent has been evaporated and crystals of solute are forming 7. Turn off the element- be careful not to touch, as it will be hot for a long time.

Observations: I can see the water evaporating on the glass, and the blue liquid melting through the basin. I can also see steam coming up from the experiment. 

Conclusion: My hypothesis ended up being correct for some of the experiment but the there also was crystals made up of copper sulfate.

Evaluation: It ended up being a fun experiment and I enjoyed it.

Holidays

In the middle of the holidays the was the national New Zealand purge, Tyler, richard and I tookover Paknsave and made a hideout there. I took the toilet paper isle to make a fort, the lollie isle to snack on food the whole time and I also took the drinks isle. We made a rule that was if you tresspassed into somebodys isle the person who owns that isle can take the other persons isle but if you cant catch them then you cant take the isle. At the start it was all good but throughout the purge there was people trying to sneak into paknsave and steal our food. At one point there was an intruderthat we had to sort out because he was constantly stealing our food without us knowing so lets just say it didn't end up pretty for him. Unfortunatly our place got taken over by a group of guys but we were lucky that they didnt kill us.

Nachos

 A few weeks ago we made some nachos, but instead of using mince and that we had to use beans and it was basically a vegetarian meal. We started off by getting the ingrediants, then we had to chop up all the onions and tomato into small pieces. These are the ingrediants:

Corn chips

Beans

Carrot

Cheese

Tomato Paste

Tomato

Onion

We then put everything into a pan that was already heated and set up the corn chips in a bowl. As soon as I took the first bite I knew that I didnt like it because it lacked flavor. Some things that I think we should have added were nacho flavouring and mince instead of beans, if we had these I think I would have liked it alot more.

Film Study 30-35 Sec Film

 In film study we have been trying to make a 30 second film, the theme for our film is horror but there is also a bit of comedy in it with the music in the background. The rules for the film were that you can't talk, have subtitles and it has to be between 30 to 35 seconds long. Our video just managed to get to 34 seconds because richard edited it.  The story of our movie is at the start richard is playing on the playground, then ibrahim starts to bully richard and chase him around the school, in the end tyler drags and kills them in a bush.

Spaghetti Bolognese

On Tuesday in home ecoonomics we made some spaghetti bolognese, the ingrediants that we used was:

Mince, pasta, cheese, onion, mushroom, tomato sauce and carrot. 

This is what they looked like, I don't know if I would make them again because I personally think that they didn't taste that well. Overall I would give it a 7.5/10 

Creative Tech Metal

For the past weeks in metal class we have been making dog tags with wood, plastic and were going to make some with metal now. This is what there supposed to look like but they don't quite look like that because they dont have that much lettering on them. We can't send them into the laser cutter from our chromebooks so we have use the computers in the digital tech room to send them into the laser cutter. In the end they turned out really good and I look foward to making the metal one.

  

Digestive System

 In Science we had to make a presentation about the digestive system, I decided to put mine on a google doc here it is. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TGbLm9ylyvJjl1o9A4lflafTv_vm6SgoSZgq5DRlnHc/edit

Theses are the parts of the digestive system in order: 

Oesophagus

Stomach

Small Intestine Large Intestine

Liver

Rectum

Anus

Stir Fry

On Tuesday we made some stir fry here is the ingrediants and a photo that looks close to the actual thing.

1.Chicken

2.Broccoli

3.Onion

4.Chilli

5.Honey, Sweet chilli sauce and seaseme oil

6.2 Minute noodles

The stir fry ended up tasting really good and I would like to make it again.

Pita Pocket

On Tuesday in home economics we made Pita pockets here is the ingrediants that we used (not actual photo just close to it)

1.Pita bread

2.Onion

3.Tomato

4.Cheese

5.Lettuce

6.Sweet chilli source

It ended up tasting really nice and I would maybe make it again.

Challenges Art

Today in film studies we had to create a challenges art, this was basically describing to characters from Coraline. The characters that i decided to use in my work was coraline and the other mother because they were the main characters which means that they would be the easiest to do. This is my presentation that i did.

The plot of Coraline

Plot Of Coraline

Music

Diegetic Sound- Sounds Added on a scene eg music.

Non-diegetic Sound- Sounds that happen naturally in a scene eg footsteps, wind blowing leaves.'

Chords>Major- Written in a major key, has a happy uplifting tone.

Minor- Written in a minor key, has a sad, gloomy, morose tone.

Tempo- Fast- Could walk quickly to make the music feel energetic, gives movement/pace

             Moderate- Mix of two

             Slow- Dragging feet pace, makes music feel lethargic, boring and sleepy.

Dynamic-Loud- Gets the viewers attention, enhances emotions/mood.

               Quiet- Either backround noise or used to make the viewer focus.

               Changing- When it's loud it builds intensity and when it's quiet it draws focus.

First Song: Happy, energetic

Second Song: Sad, deppressing, lonely

Chords- Minor and has a sad vibe.

Tempo- Moderate makes you feel a bit edgy.

Dynamic- Changing- it starts quiet than it will get louder and go quiet again.

Tempo- Fast- gives us upbeat, want to move, makes circus feel fun.

Dynamic- Louds- makes the viewer feel hyped up.

Write a paragraph explaining how are colour and lighting used to create the two worlds

This scene is near the start of the film and gives us a feel on how the real world is and the overall vibe of the real world. The colour in this scene is a bit dull but the light coming in from the window makes the vibe in the house feel a bit happier. This photo seems a bit plain and looks like there isn't much warmth throughout the house, also the colour here isn't a warm orangey yellow colour but this has a white colour which makes the house look cold. One of the reasons why Coraline wanted to stay in the other world is because it was more welcoming to the eyes but that just went to show the theme looks can be decieving.

In this photo we can see the other worlds kitchen and compared to the kitchen we saw before this one has a warmth feeling in it because of the nice orange colours and with it being night time it gives off a different effect. this is the first time we see the kitchen in the other world so for Coraline this would make her feel welcome because the normal kitchen is so boring compared to this.

How does Lighting & Colour enhance the story

Atmosphere- feel in a space, energy around you.

Mood- how you feel

Location- place something isn happening.

Lighting- natural or artifical. Natural light that comes from the moon, stars, sun, lightning, fire etc. Artifical lighting is man made light source like electricity, light bulbs etc.

Warm or Cold Light- Warm light usually has a yellow or orange tone. Cold light colour is usually blue or a white colour.

Bright or dull- Bright fills the space, dark fills the space faded.

Colour- Colour Pallete- what are the predominant colour used. 

Warm and Cold Colours- Warm is welcoming friendly colour. Cold is isolated, cold and chilly.

Brainstorm-

Lighting/ Colour-

What is happening in the scene? 

Coraline and her family is having breakfast in the real kitchen. They look rushed and tired.

Muffin Reflections

On Tuesday each group made something for there stakeholder and my group made Blueberrie muffins, once we made the muffins we had to ask your stakeholder some questions and what they could improve on. Some of the questions that I asked my stake holder were, What can I add or take away from the recipe to make it better?  Personally I think that they could have been bigger and had something else in it to add some more flavor but my parents who were my stakeholder said they tasted good and that was it. The appearance looked pretty good on the top and turned a bit blue because we added the blueberries in at the wrong time. The texture on the inside were nice and fluffy and you could see whole blueberries inside of it. Some things that I would change for next time is to add more blueberries, add something crunchy in it like some sort of crumble. One thing that I have to remember is to not add the blueberries in before we add the flour.

Ingerdiants Budget:

Blueberry $7 500g

One Lemon 51 Cents

Milk $2.38

Sugar $2.70 Cents

Flour $2 1.5kg

Baking Powder $2.50 150g

One Egg 32 Cents 

Heart Dissection

On Tuesday in Science we dissected a pigs heart to find out how the heart works. (not the actual photo) We wanted to learn how the heart works so that's why we dissected the heart. Some of the equipment we used was a scalpel, scissors and had to lay down news paper in case the blood came out. The left part of the heart is more thicker and larger than the right side and this is because it has to pump blood to the whole body were as the right side of the heart just has to pump deoxyenated blood and blood to the lungs which is right next to the heart. We started by cutting the the left side of the heart and then cut down the right side to open up the heart and look inside. In the end we actually got to see inside and see what is inside the heart.

Workshop 2: Linking Themes To The Impact Of Angles, Movement And Shots

Brainstorm: 

Whats happening-

Other Wybie is standing on the stairs outside the other house. Other mother tells him to smile from the doorway, instead he frowns. 

Other Wybie was making himself smaller -less of a target-head down, shoulders hunched. He also looks sad and vulnerable.

Angles/Shots:

Highe angle- makes Wybie look overpowered, weak & vulnerable.

POV- Other mother, makes herself seem stronger, bigger and more dominant.

Viewer:

Makes the viewer feel sorry for the other Wybie.

Director:

Foreshadowing/hinting at what is coming from the other mother.

Hinting that maybe the other mother isn't so wonderful.

Other Techniques:

Lighting- spotlight on Wybie- like he's on the spot

Dark around creates a creapy atmosphere

In the scene the other mother and the other wybie we see a high angle shot used to show the theme "Looks can be deicving". We see this when the other mother asks the other wybie to smile but instead he frowns and hunches his shoulders over. This makes the audience feel sorry for the other Wybie because he looks scared. The use of a high angle shot from the other mother mother adds to this feeling as it makes the other Wybie look weak and vulnerable. The director did this to forshadow the change of the other mother from creep to even more creepy. Coinciding with this is the use of lighting, a spotlight is on the other Wybie emphasising that he is under the focus of the other mother. This reminds us of earlier in the film where a low angle shot was used to make Wybie seem big and scary but he is really a nerd. This links to the scene because it also shows a momment when the look of a character was decieving.

Savouries

Last week in Home Economics we made some savourie pies. Although they work quite small and barely had any filling in them they still tasted really good. This was basically what they looked like except it wasn't as golden on the outside(Not the actual photo). There weren't any stuff ups while making but I wish there was a bit more filling inside of it. In the end they came out of the oven good and tasted amazing. 

Workshop 1 Themes And Ideas

Theme and Ideas-

Continious idea/subject that links throughout the text.

Looks can be deceiving-

Don't judge a book by it's cover.

Don't judge by appearance.

Example 1: Character of wybie- when we first met him he seemed intimadating because of what he was wearing and the music but he was actually a bit of a nerd. 

Shows theme because like other characters our first impressions are based on appearence, tone, visual techniques aren't always correct. 

Important because it helps the audience understand with Coraline that just because something looks good doesn't mean it is. She should coose the real world over the other world. 

Example 2: Character of the other mother- at the start she seems normal and friendly but by the end she becomes a soul devouring spider demon. 

Shows theme because the other mother isn't what she appears to be at the start so we shouldn't judge by first impressions.

Important because Coraline realises that having something that looks perfect isn't always a good thing.

S-Statment: In Coraline, the theme "looks can be deceiving" is used effectively to engage the audience. 

E-Evidence: For instance, the character of the "Other mother" shows us that looks can be deceiving because she starts off as a kind mother figure but gradually changes into a sould devouring demon.

X-eXplanation Audience: This makes us understand that we shouldnt judge a character based on first impressions as they can often be wrong.

X-eXplanation Director: This was done to help Coraline decide between the real world and the fake world. If the other mother was really perfect Coraline wouldn't choose the real mother.

X-eXplanation Another Technique: Combined with this is the use of color and lighting. The other mother first appears in a vibrantly bright room that make us feel warm and safe. However, by the end it had become dark and green which makes us feel intimedated. 

Y-Your Link: This can be juxtaposed to the chracter of Wybie who we think at first is evil but is actually kind proving looks can be deceiving.

Philippines Independence Day

Magandang Umaga, this week we are learning about the Philippenes independence day. The independence day today in on friday the 12 june. This date is important because it marks the day the country was free from the spanish rule. The people in the Philippenes celebrate this day by doing nation wide parades but the main show is the military parade. A poular food that is eaten in the philippenes is a food called Pulled Pork Adobo. This dish is basically pulled pork inside of a bun but is eaten alot over there.
