News Article About the Pacific Ocean | Social Studies

 Hello, for today I will talk about the problem in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. there are lots and lots of plastic in the Pacific Ocean and it creates multiple pollutions. and it's called the plastic patch. 

The problem in this scenario is that fish are being killed by this plastic patch. after decades in the ocean, this will turn into a plastic soup, this is created by the thousand of plastic being turn into a small piece of plastic and turn into millions of small particles of plastic. small fish think that this plastic is food. but in reality, this plastic might be the last thing they will eat. so the main problem here is that more plastic is being made as time goes. in 2050 there might be 50% of clean water and 50% of garbage in the sea and more and more fish will die. 

This affects the fishes that live deep down. the courses of this are that fish, other animals, and we will be affected by this. because the water around the world might have pieces of plastic in it. even the water we drink. we get fresh water because of the seawater and the sun is the one who is providing us some freshwater. 

The solution is that we need to stop making plastic and use a material that can recycle and easy to break down, maybe in the future we can make this happen. or we just have to not throw lots of garbage in the ocean.

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. 

the Vietnam war song

 on this topic, we have to select music that related to the Vietnam war. and we have to select a song that is related to the song that makes the war stops. 

the song that I picked is Give Peace a Chance. 

what is the message of the song? the message of the song is that we give peace a chance because at that time the Vietnam war is one of the devastating wars in the entire world. so if we give peace a chance we might stop the war, and that happens. giving peace to the world will make this earth a better planet for every human living.
