Declaration of Independence in New Zealand

 In 1830 there were 100000 Māori and 200 Europeans living in New Zealand. The behaviour of the Whalers, the Missionaries’ desire to help protect Māori rights and the Musket Wars were reasons that a treaty was needed. The Declaration of Independence was another contributing factor to the need for a treaty.

One reason that a treaty was needed was the lawless behaviour of some of the British Settlers like whalers. Since Whalers were at sea for a few months, when they would come back to Kororareka they would cause destruction. Whalers would drink loads at once which would lead to fights, prostitution and introduced diseases. The local Maori were concerned about the behaviour and Kororareka became known as a Hell Hole therefore a treaty was needed.

Missionaries and Maori had a good relationship between each other. Missionaries were concerned about Maori land being sold therefore they signed the treaty of independence to gain control of the sales. Musket wars were another issue that the missionaries had to worry about due to the amount of Maori being killed. Another reason that a treaty was needed was to protect Māori rights. One group that felt strongly about this was the missionaries. In order for wars to stop between Maori and Britain, missionaries wanted to begin trades with Europeans. 

Another reason that a treaty was needed was the Musket Wars. The musket wars are seen as an example of the fatal impact of contact with Europeans. Around 20000 people were speculated to be killed directly or indirectly. The first tribe to get the muskets were Nga Puhi.  Due to 20000 people being killed; tribal boundaries were constantly changing around. For the tribes that wanted/needed muskets they needed to increase their output of pigs and potatoes, this is because pigs and potatoes were used as currency to pay for the muskets. Despite Nga Puhi being one of the first tribes to have muskets Nga Whatua defeated them in battle with traditional weapons.

In Conclusion, a treaty was needed because of disorderly behaviour of the British whalers; missionaries were concerned about Maori land being sold and they needed the treaty to protect maori rights. Lastly they needed a treaty for the countless deaths caused by the musket wars and tribal boundaries constantly changing.

Still in the works

One Piece

 Today in Wananga we first had to read for 15 minutes. Instead of actually reading I decided to start my blog early so that when we've finished the book club we can go outside. For the bookclub I am going to talk about the Manga/Anime One Piece. If I were to do a summary on One Piece I would say that its about a teenage boy named Luffy whos dream/goal is to become the king of pirates; on his journey he goes from island to island and picks up members to be his crewmates. There are over 1000 chapters and the anime just made it to its 1000th episode. My favourite character has to be luffy and he emodies freedom pretty well. My second favourite strawhat would have to be zoro; this is because I like all his attack moves especially the 3 sword style, this is when he has one sword in his mouth and two in his hands

Reflection

 

Today in Wananga we read for around 15 minutes; I ended up reading the new chapter for Tokyo Revengers which was actually pretty good and one of the best that ive read in a while. The next chapter comes out in a week and this might be one of the last chapters till the series over. After that we had to sit and listen to Calebs NCEA speech for 3 minutes. In his speech he talked to us about the effects of cigarettes and why they should be permanently banned.  After I finish this reflection I should be able togo out and play basketball for the last few minutes.

Volcano

 Aim: To make a volcano that is similar to a real life volcano and make it erupt with elephant toothpaste.

Equipment: 

750 ml bottle

Paper

Scissors 

Glue

Food Colouring

Dish washing Liquid

Method: 

1. Stick a 750 ml bottle in the middle of the volcano.

2. Scrunch Pieces of paper around the water bottle.

3. Put glue on strips of paper and stick it around the scrunched pieces of paper.

4. After it is all layered you have to paint it over in the colour of your volcano.

Results: 

Our volcano turned out really good but we could have added more red food colouring and less yellow to make the elephant toothpaste look like lava.

Discussion:

How do volcanoes form?

Volcanoes form when one tectonic plate moves underneath the other, when enough magma builds up it forces its way to the surface and erupts.

Lava vs Magma?

Magma is molten rock underneath the surface and Lava is molten rock that it above the surface.

Conclusion:

Even though we started pretty late everything turned out good and I probably wouldn't change anything apart from adding more strips of paper onto the volcano.

Population of New Zealand 1836-1901

What does the graph show us?

This graph shows us how the population of Maori and Europeans changed over time.

Why do you think the number of Maori changed?

A lot of Maori people were introduced to new diseases such as measles and influenza. Maori were also killed.

Why do you think the number of Europeans changed?

The population for Europeans increased because more people traveled to New Zealand.

Pepaha

Ko toku maunga

Ko toku moana

Ko tou awa

Ko toku rohe

Ko toku iwi

Ko toku hapu

Ko toku ingoa

What is mana?

What is tapu?

What is utu?

How could these values cause conflict with Europeans?

How were these values different to Europeans values?

Climate Change

What is the greenhouse effect?

The greenhouse effect is when the suns heat reflects off of the earth but gets trapped by a thick layer of carbon dioxide and shines heats up the earth even more. 

What are 3 bad things/consequences of climate change?

1. Increased Heat

2.Rising sea levels

3.Melting glaciers

Whats a possible solution?

The most possible solution is to change our main energy sources to clean and renewable energy and this will stop the need to use fossil fuels.

What is the Paris agreement?

The Paris agreement is an international treaty on climate change that was made in 2015. Its goal is to reduce global warming to below 2 degrees Celsius

Eclipse

 How does a solar and lunar eclipse happen eclipse happen?

A solar eclipse happens when the moon blocks the sunlight during the day and a lunar eclipse happens when the earth blocks the the sun from the moon at night.

What would we see in a solar and lunar eclipse?

For a lunar eclipse a full moon will fade away because earths shadow covers it up, the moon can also look a bit reddish. For a solar eclipse the sun would be completely hidden as the moon covers the sun for around 15 minutes.

Last one?

For solar eclipses the last one happened in 1965 unfortunately for New Zealand the path of the eclipse doesn't quite cross our path. For the lunar eclipse the last one that happened was in January 2019.

Next one?

The next solar eclipse for New Zealand will be in 2454 days on Saturday 07/22/2028. The next lunar eclipse in New Zealand will be in 8th of November in 2022. 

Scientist

 Name: Dr Fauci

Hometown: New York City Usa

Age: 80

Birth/Death: Born December 24 1940

What are they famous for: Dr Fauci is a doctor who has a career at national institute of allergy and infectious diseases. He became known for his HIV-AIDS research.

Do we use their invention today? Seeing that it is research and it was ground breaking we most likely still use it.

Name: Albert Einstein

Hometown: Ulm Wurttemberg

Age: 76 years

Birth/Death: 14 march 1879, 18 april 1955

What are they famous for: Albert Einstein was a famous mathematician and physicist who developed the special and general theories of relativity. He also showed that the speed of light within a vacuum is the same no matter what the speed at which the observer travels. 

Do we use their invention today?  Yes, his theories of relativity revolutionized our understanding of space and time, also winning the nobel prize. 

Nuremburg Laws

 

1. Provide two examples of ways in which the Nuremberg laws affected the rights of German Jews. 
   German Jews from Reich citizenship and prohibited them from marrying or having sexual relations with persons of “German or German related blood”.
               Jewish officers were expelled from the army and Jewish university students were not allowed to sit for doctoral exams.
   2. What other actions were taken that discriminated against Jews in Germany? (Remembering)
   Jewish people were disenfranchised (which means they had no right to vote) and could not hold public office. 
   Other regulations reinforced the message that Jews were outsiders in Germany.
   3. Why do you think that the Nazis passed these laws? (Understanding)
   They probably passed these laws because it made the Germans look strong and superior and the rules did not affect themselves. 
   4. If a New Zealand government passed a law that provided for different treatment of a named racial group in New Zealand, what do you think the reaction of most New Zealand people would be? Why do you think this might be the case? (Applying)
   I think that the majority of New Zealand wouldn't go along with this because New Zealand involves a lot of different cultures.
   5. Do you think these Nuremberg laws were racist? Explain your point of view. (Evaluating)I think that these laws were racist and wouldn't be accepted in modern society.

Kristallnacht

 Kristallnacht

What is meant by the term Kristallnacht?

Night of the broken glass.

When did this event occur?

November 9th & 10th 1938

How many synagogues did the programme claim were burned?

267 Synagogues

How many Jews were claimed to have died as a result of this event?

91 Jews were killed.

How many were said to have been sent to concentration camps?

30,000

What was the reaction of the German people to this event?

They blamed it on the Jews.

How was Kristallnacht planned?

We can tell from the document that it was planned because it states that “non-jewish businesses are to be protected from damage under all circumstances”. Some more things that were said are “As soon as possible, officials are to arrest as many jews especially wealthy ones”. We know this was planned because the date this was sent was 1 day before the event happened, 1:20 am November 8th 1938.

The Great Depression

 Why was Germany hit so hard in the Great Depression?

The great depression lasted from 1929 to 1939. This was the worst economic downfall in the world that we know. One of the most affected areas was Europe and Germany. Hitler and the Nazi party blamed the treaty Versailles for this. The Great Depression Started on the October of 1929 which sent Wall Street into panic and wiped out millions of investors. Germany suffered the most out of any nation because of a result of the recall of the US led and that caused the economy to collapse. 6 million Germans were unemployed during the great depression and 15 million us people were unemployed. As a percentage German suffered more from The Great Depression. These events lead to the destruction of German democracy.  

What did Germany have to agree to by signing the treaty of Versailles? 

On June 18 1919 The treaty of Versailles was signed at the palace of Versailles outside of Paris, France. The treaty was the one that officially ended the five years of conflict that was known as The Great War. For Germany, signing the treaty meant that Germany had to disarm, make ample territorial concessions and pay reparations to certain countries that had formed Entente powers. The treaty forced Germany to give up territory to Belgium, Czechoslovakia and Poland. Germany lost 13% of European territory in total and 1/10th of its population. Germany had to pay 6.6 billion which meant that the economy definitely wouldn't recover. 

How was New Zealand affected by the great depression?

The great depression for New Zealand began in the early 1930's and ended in 1935. From 1930 export prices started to decrease and fell a total of 45% by 1933. 

DNA Extraction

 Aim: Our aim is to extract DNA from the kiwi fruit.

Method: 

1.Mush half a kiwi fruit in a zip lock bag with a splash of water and a small teaspoon of salt.

2. Strain the solution through a cloth into a beaker.

3. Add a squirt of dish washing liquid and stur.

4. Pour into a test tube.

5. Place the test tube in a beaker filled with WARM water.

6. Leave for 10 minutes.

7. Slowly pour 5 ml of methylated spirits down the inside of the test tube.

Results:

Discussion:

Where do you find DNA?

You can find DNA in all living things.

What makes up DNA?

DNA is made up of nucleotide, this contain a sugar group, a phosphate group and one of four types of nitrogen bases.

How much DNA do humans share with the kiwi fruit/Bananas? 

We share 60% of our DNA with bananas. A study revealed that kiwi fruits has similarities between 39, 040 genes and other plant species including potatoes and tomato's. 
Conclusion:

In conclusion we could see that the DNA formed in between the kiwi fruit juice and the methylated spirits. The DNA just looked like a bunch of tiny bubbles and the test worked out exactly the way kit was planned to. 

Holocaust

In class we learnt about Hitlers Antisemitism.  

Here are some quotes:

Holocaust

“Lowering the quality of the white race which they hate and thus lowering it’s cultural and political level so that Jews could dominate”

“He wants to contaminate her blood and remove her from the bosom of her own people” In this

Street Art

 In art class we had to pick your favourite piece of art from a bunch of different photos. The picture that I chose was a samurai that had his swords out. One of the reasons I picked this piece of art was because of the art style that it has, the art style is like a anime type of art style and it just looks pretty cool

Sustainable fishing

This is my Sustainable Fishing prezi that we have been working on for a while

Pros and Cons of over fishing

Pros: Over fishing has a good list of pros and cons to it and here is the pros, over fishing can make more jobs available to people who are in need of jobs. Another pro is that over fishing helps boost the economy, this is because there has been a demand for seafood in the last few decades and when over fishing that means that there is more income. Some companies that over fish have a replenish system so that they can balance things out.

Cons: A massive problem is that over fishing can cause a decrease in marine life population, yes there are some replenishment systems but some of them aren't immediate and they don't take action right away. Disrupts the Eco system, the reason for this is because over fishing disrupts the food chain and that means some species have to adapt because there source of food isn't there anymore. It can also increase garbage population because of the garbage coming from the ships

Pink Shirt Day

What is pink shirt day?

Pink shirt day is a day where people spread awareness about bullying. This day originated in Canada in 2007. There is multiple things that you can do in a bullying situation. The first thing that you can do is be a bystander, being a bystander is when you witness a situation with bullying however you don't do anything to intervene. The second thing that you can do is be a out stander, being an out stander means that if you see a situation that involves bullying you try and do something to either stop it or get someone like a teacher to stop it. In my opinion I am more of a bystander rather than an out stander. I also think that raising awareness for this is great because bullying happens a lot in school and in workplaces.

Shark Finning

Shark Finning 

What is shark finning?

Shark finning is a delicacy in Hong Kong and China, shark finning is where some people will take a shark, cut the fins off and then dump them back in the ocean for them to die a long and painful death. It is said that shark finn soup has barely and taste too it, no nutritional value and they have to add some sort of broth to actually give it a taste. Keep in mind that the cost for this soup will be $140 New Zealand price. Sharks only kill around 10 humans every year however humans are killing 30,000 sharks every hour just for there finns. A lot of the companies that do shark finning are illegal, they won't let any cameras in the shops because they dont want to get exposed for what they do. A lot of the shark finns will be sold on the black market because that is the only way to see it.

Why is it a delicacy?

The reason for this being a delicacy is because people have been having this soup for 1,000 years. Back in the days people believed that it had medical benefits and they also thought of it as a massive victory over powerful sharks.

How is this impacting our oceans?

There is many reasons for this effecting our oceans and marine life. The first reason is how it can lead to animals going extinct, think of it like this Sharks are at the top of the food chain named level 1. If we wipe out level 1, level 2 starts to overpopulate because they have no predators. Level 2 then feeds on all the lower levels until the lower levels go extinct leaving the level 2 animals to starve to death. The next reason is that all the coral reefs that are beautiful will turn to a massive swamp lands due too less herbivores feeding on the algae on the bottom of the ocean. 

The Starfish Poem

What is the main message of this poem?

The message relates too plastic in the ocean, if you stop using plastic you are doing the best that you can do to save sealife. This relates to the poem where the boy is trying to save as many starfish that he can. Although it may not make a massive difference it made a difference for that one starfish or that one life in the ocean. This also relates to us in the fact that sometimes we ourselves may need a little bit  of help sometimes

Give evidence for this?

We see evidence of this when the young man says "It made a difference for that one" or when he says "Throwing starfish in the ocean". 

Testing for carbon dioxide gas

Aim: To show that carbon dioxide gas is produced when a metal carbonate reacts with acid.

Equipment: Two boiling tubes, delivery tube and bung, bunsen burner, test tube rack, wooden splint, a bottle of acid, small amount of metal carbonate, test tube tongs, safety glasses.

Method: 

1. Light your bunsen burner 

2. Add a pea sized amount of metal carbonate into one of the boiling tubes.

3. Place this boiling tube into a test tube rack. Ensure you have the bung and delivery tube ready.

4. Add 5ml of acid to the boiling tube and quickly insert the bung and delivery tube into the mouth of the boiling tube.

5. Holding the other boiling tube with your tongs, capture the gas produced as shown in the diagram below.

Results: The one that had the most rust was the tube that had water in it and the one that had the least amount of rust was the one wrapped in aluminuim. 

Conclusion: In conclusion the water tube turned out as expected and a lot of the other ones didnt have that much rust at all such as the nail polish and the aluminuim.

Garbage patch paragraph

The Garbage Patch

Statement I am trying to convince you about the problem going on in the pacific ocean. This problem is named the great pacific garbage patch. You may wonder why this includes us and the reason for this is because we are the main problem. All the plastic that gets into the ocean comes from us, so it is our job to fix it.

State your point:

This garbage patch is the same size as 6 New zealands or 2 texas. This garbage patch is made up of tiny little microplastics so it's quite scary that all those little microplastics can take up that large of an area. Where does all the plastic come from? Majority of this plastic comes from land, 80% is from land and 20% comes from the fishing industry. This is how fishing nets and other plastics get into marine life. It is also estimated that there is around 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic floating around the patch.

Why it matters: This matters because all of this pollution is killing the majority of our marine life, 1 million seabirds and 100,000 marine mammals are affected every year as well as many other species. Evenus humans aren’t necessarily safe from the dangers, microplastics have been found in the stomachs of nearly half of the most important species for global fisheries.

Evidence: We know that all this is happening because we see it affecting our marine life 100,000 mammals being affected every year. There was a whole movement based on not using plastic straws because of it affecting turtles however what happens to all the other plastics and fishing nets?. Also the garbage patch is estimated to weigh around 80,000 tonnes floating in an area of 1.6m square kilometers.

Sum up: To finish this off let's go over what we talked about, the garbage patch was created by us, is affecting our marine life, spans over 2 texas and majority of it is land based. This means that we need to make a positive change and stop harming our marine life.

Memory

In wananga we started reading the book "Memory" by Margaret mahy, we are currently reading this book as a class and just finished page three. The main characters is a male named Johnny Dart. Johnny is describes to have swollen eyes, swollen lips, curly hair, hat on his head. Some emotions that he experiances is being miserable and feeling Guilty. It is mainly his jokes that make people think he is a miserable person. 

The Pacific Garbage Patch

 The Pacific Garbage Patch

What is the Problem going on right now?

Right now there is a massive problem going on, the problem is that there is this thing in the ocean named the pacific garbage patch, this patch is made up of tiny little bits of plastic which is called microplastics, these microplastics make up all of the garbage patch and is the same size of the state of texas two times over. The type of plastic that is in the patch is a type of plastic named polyethylene and this doesn't break down. 

What is the cause of the garbage patch?

There is actually two gabage patches located in the north pacific ocean, The Western Patch in south japan and and the easteran patch located near san fransisco. Almost all of the plastic that is in the patch is from the land, 80% to be exact and 20% of plastic is from the sea like cruise ships and shipping ships.  All of the plastic in there is not biodegradable meaning that in won't break down, it is also estimated that there is around 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic just in the patch. 

What are the effects of the garabge patch?

Humans, humans are the answer. All the plastic that we make ends up in the ocean. Like i said before majority of the plastic in the ocean comes from land based stuff and only some come from fishing industrys. The effects of this are marine life dying out, 1million seabirds and 100,000 marine mammels that are effected every sing year.

Resilience Reflection

In this terms wananga class we are learning about having a growth mindset and how it is better for your learning. Having a growth mindset means that you are willing to expand or develop your basic skills, you do this by working hard and training. It's also is about trying out new things that you have never done before, for example speaking infront of the class can be hard for a lot of people but once you conquer that fear you will improve your skills with speaking aloud. The power of yet is to change peoples mindset from "I don't think I can do this" and change it to "I dont think I can do this yet" this makes your mindset change from a negative and unhealthy mindset to a Positive and healthy mindset.

Art Focal Point

 In art we have been focusing on creating a focal point. We had to cut out peices of magazine from the magazine on the table and with that cut out we put it on the sheet of paper. From then on we had to draw leading lines to make the focal point which was the magazine stand out. After that we had to paint things that either make it stand out or go with the color of your magazine design. This is an example of focal point. My actual original design consisted of suduko magazine parts that I cut into curves to make leading line. Then my main point was a cut out of prince harrys face. To add on to these colors I made the backrounds blue and a pale orange/yellow and painted a tree with bushes down the bottom to add the color green. The green went well with the fried rice that I added because it went with the green

English SEXXXY Paragraph

 Throughout the week we have been making a sexxxy paragraph on the film "The Power Of One". Here is my work for that sexxxy paragraph. 

The Beatles Tour Of New Zealand

 Perspective- For Tour

The main people that wanted the beatles to come was Younger girls, when the beatles first landed most of the fans were silent yet when they came to Wellington the fans suddenly lit up and when they had there shows all the tickets sold out. Seeing that the beatles were a worldwide band and tickets were expensive alot of people would either try to sneak in or just straight up break in. Alot of people didnt like how the fans kept on screaming because they couldnt even hear the beatles singing.

Perspective- Against Tour

There weren't many people that were against the beatles coming to New Zealand sometimes this was because people thought were leading the youth down a bad path and that they were trouble makers.

How Aspects show the meaning in John.G.Avildsen's film "The Power Of One"

S: In the concept scene, we hear the native South Africans sing a song in their language that was written by P.K, the main character

E: The joyful song was lead by a native singer and the rest of the tribes sung harmoniously, whilst Doc played the piano and P.K composed. 

X: The song made the audience feel hopeful and it was moving. This was because P.K.- through the singing-brought the tribes together. 

X: The purpose of this was to help show that P.K was the mythical figure of the-rainmaker.

X: The singing combines with long shots that also show the harmony of the natives as they are all sitting nicely together.

Y: The singing can be compared to the singing at the boxing match, as the now freed natives sing to P.K to show him they think he is the Rain-Maker. Both lots of singing give a sense of hope for the native South Africans.

Making Salts

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

Equipment: Copper oxide powder, dilute (0.5 mol L-1) sulfuric acid, 50 ml measuring cylinder, two 100 ml beakers, bunsen burner, tripod, gauze mat, funnel, filter paper, thermometer, spatula, evaporating basin, stirring rod.

Method: 

1. Add 20ml of sulfuric aid to a 100 ml beaker. Heat the acid until it reaches 70 degress Celcius. Turn off your bunsen burner.

2. Once heated, use a spatula to add a pea-sized portions of copper oxide to the beaker. Stir the mixture for 30 seconds.

3. Repeat step 2 until no more will dissolve. Allow the beaker to cool.

4. Fold the filter paper and place it in the funnel. Place the filter funnel into the second beaker.

5.Make sure the beaker is cool enough to hold at the top. The contents should still be hot. You may need your teacher to complete this step.

6. Gently swirl the contents of the beaker to mix, and then pour into the filter paper in the funnel. Allow to filter through.

7.l Rinse the beaker you used to heat the mixturepreviously, and place it back on top of your tripod filled with 50-60ml of water.

8. Place the evaporating basin on top of the beaker and carefully pour some of the solution from the beaker into the evaporating basin. 

9. Gently heat the beaker until the solution in the evaporating basin has reduced by half.

10. Leave the evaporating basin to cool once cool, move the evaporating basin to a warm place where it will not be disturbed and observe over the next few days. Blue copper sulfate crystals should form. 

Results:

Discussion: Why did it turned blue? It turned blue when we filtered the copper oxide through the filter paper then it turned into a blue liquid.

Conclusion: Our experiment didnt turn out exactly how I wanted because somehow although we had hardly anything it ened up being really water, so next time I will know to add less water.

My Culture

 My Culture

My name is William Crosbie-Rolleston, I am 14 years old, my mum is pakeha and my dad is Maori. I don't speak maori and when I was 3 my parents split up and moved to Christchurch from Hamilton. I don't know that much about our history but one day when I go back up north I will have to talk about it. All that I know is that my tribe is Te arawa and that is about it. I now live with my mum and my step dad, my step dad is also maori but I don't

 know where or what tribe he is from. 

Sports:

The main sports that people of maori culture play is usually just sports that New Zealand people play like rugby, netball, basketball etc. But there is also a game called ki-o-rahi, Ki o Rahi is a ball sport (the ball is known as the “kī”) that is a combination of netball, handball and tag rugby. Games are 5 minute quarters with an immediate change at quarter time and a 2 minute break at half time. The sport is non-contact but players wear a belt holding two velcro tags around their waist. 

Visual arts:

Celebrations:

Sometimes on christmas my sister and I may go up to hamilton, this is because that is where all of my dads side of the family lives. Everyone up there is maori aswell and it’s good to see Nan and koro

Give Peace A Chance

 This song called Give peace a chance was  made by John Lennon. The song should be easy to comprehend because all it is basically saying is to give peace a chance which means to stop the war and "Make love not peace". This song was made after the Vietnam war ended and it was first released in europe and released in the U.S a few days later.

Lyrics:

Reflection

 Today in wanaga we had to do silent reading so I read chapter 56 of jujutsy kaisen. It started out pretty boring and near the end things started to kick up. Jujutsu kaisen is about the main character devours a finger of the king of courses and survived it so the people of jujtsu high have two options weather to kill him right now, or make him eat all the fingers then kill  him because no one else has consumed one of his fingers and survived. The main character Yuji then attends jujutsu high and we see the trio of chaaracter who are Yuju, Megumi and Nobara. They then go out to excorse things called curses who can only be seen by jujutsu sorcerers otherwise if you are human you wouldnt be able to see them without have these certain cursed objects one being glasses that allows you to see them. We then the rest of the students in the upperclasses whilst seeing the main villain for the show. My favourite character is a guy named Yuta Okkotsu who we havent seen in the show and weve only seen a bit of him in the manga but he seems pretty powerful from what weve seen.

Making Indacators

 Aim: To make acid-base indicators using everyday substances

Equipment: Red cabbage, tea, beetroot, tumeric, cranberry juice, a beaker, water, tripod, bunsen burner, gauze mat, 1.0 mol L-1 HCI and 1.0 mol L-1 NaOH.

Method: 

For cabbage and Beetroot, chop the cabbage into small pieces until you have enough to fill 2 cups. Place the cabbage in a large beaker and add water to cover the cabbage. Boil over a bunsen burner for at least ten minutes for the colour to leach out of the cabbage. Filter out the plant materDiial to obtain a red-purpleish coloured liquid. This liquid is about pH 7. Place a small beaker and leave to one side. Repeat this method for beetroot. 

For the tea: Put 100m of water into a beaker and boil. Turn off the bunsen burner and put three tea bags in the beaker. Remove the tea bags when the tea is very strong. Place in a small beaker and leave to one side. 

For Cranberry Juice: Pour into a beaker and leave to one side.

For the Tumeric: Mix 1 teaspoon turmeric in 100ml cup of alcohol. Place in a small beaker and leave to one side.

Results: 

Discussion: What does this mean? It went different colours because of the different chemicals we used like when we used acid the cabbage turned pink and when we used base it turned yellow.

Conclusion: Did it work? The experiment worked out really well and nothing went wrong, I wouldn't really do anything different seeing that it worked.

Here comes the song is the seventh track on one of the beatles most popular albums "abbey road"  and was realesed in 1969. It was initally not realeased as a single but later on the song was becoming the highest selling beatles for weaks although it seemed like a very simplistic song. The song was responsible for one of the most critical acclaims received by George Harrison.  

What song did I choose?

Here comes the sun

Lyrics:

Here comes the sun do, do, do
Here comes the sun
And I say it's all right

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun do, do, do
Here comes the sun
And I say it's all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun do, do, do
Here comes the sun
And I say it's all right

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear

Here comes the sun do, do, do
Here comes the sun
And I say it's all right

Here comes the sun do, do, do
Here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
