Esol | Holiday Trip

We are currently reading a book that talks about a trip, so I will talk about my trip to Milford for today. 

In the new year, we went on a trip to Dunedin. But I didn't expect that we would also go to Milford. In Dunedin, we were so tired and. And a friend of ours let us sleep in their house. So the next day, we hit the road and headed to Milford. At the start, I didn't know where we would go. Not until I saw lots of falls one after another, lots and lots of them showed up. “ You know why there are lots of falls right now? “ my sister told me. And I said ‘why?’, she said: “ well it just rains earlier so lots of water will pour down and that creates the falls”. Then later we arrived at Milford. Later that a big boat will show us around Milford and show us the big falls. And I also saw some dolphins, they were fast. 

Social Studies | Picking up Rubbish

 Hi, For today we have done some picking ups some rubbish. we did this on our school grounds, we mainly saw a lot of rubbish in the od court area. and close to the music room. I can imagine the amount of rubbish we found in just minutes. I wanted you to know that picking up some rubbish will help our involvement better. picking up rubbish isn't that bad at all, it actually really fun. I was really happy with what I did today. I feel like our school environment is much better when I saw the rubbish we took. 

I recommend doing it too, it's not bad picking up some rubbish even when you just saw a small piece of rubbish you should put it to the bin this actually helps the environment.

Metals and Oxygen

 Aim: to make metal oxide and observe the difference in the properties of the product compared to the reactants. 

Equipment: a piece of magnesium, bunsen burner, safety glasses metal scissor tongs.

Method

1. Light your Bunsen burner. 
2. Hold your magnesium in the scissor tongs. ensure you are holding onto this very tip of the magnesium. 
3. Place the other end magnesium into the Bunsen flame ( at the top of the blue flame ). 
4. When the magnesium begins to burn do not look directly at it, as it light emitted permanently damages your eyes.  

Result: I saw how these metals ignited into the light. I can only look at this for a couple of seconds or otherwise, this may permanently damage my eyes. 

Discussion: this happens because of the magnesium, when magnesium gets hot, the metal will turn into a hot light. it also because of the strong flame that we use. 

Conclution: yes, this works. this works as I think of it, I wouldn't change a thing about what we did in this experiment. this was a fun experiment I would like to do it again. 

Pop test

 Aim: To show that hydrogen gas is produced when a metal reacts with acid. 

Equipment: A test tube, bunsen burner, wooden splint, a bottle of acid, a piece of metal, safety glasses. 

Method

• light you bunsen burner
• add your sample of metal t your tube. add 2 mL of acid. 
• carefully invert the boiling tube above the test tube containing the metal and acid (as shown in the diagram below). 

Result: the result is very surprising, it pops that's why the title of this experiment is the pop test. I saw how the pops happen. it is very cool it smokes after the pops happen. 

Discussion: it happens because of the hydrogen gas. this makes the pop sound because of the gas in it we trap it in the test tube so we can make the popping sound. 

Concussion:  yes, it did work. I wouldn't change anything in this experiment, I think that this experiment went really well.
