Step 3: Add in 2 tsp butter  
Step 4: Add in 1/4 cup milk

Step 5: Knead your dough and shape it

TRIAL NUMBER:	COLOUR	TASTE	HEIGHT (mM)
1. NORMAL	White	Pasty  but good	40 mm
2. Baking Soda	Brown	Disgusting	35 mm
3. Lemonade	White With brown dots	Delicious	45 mm

It was really fun and I love that we got to eat it at the end of our experiment. I think that the baking soda was the worst it was disgusting. Also I loved the lemonade it was delicious. The normal scone was OK but I like the lemonade better. Next time I think my group should make more of them and all of them should be new recipes and different ingredients. BYE!

Magnificent Writing

Magnificent Writing

Hi guys today I am sharing a piece of writing. I am not finished yet but I would like to get some feedback on my writing from you guys. So if you have any feedback even if it is a little mistake can you tell me by commenting on my blog. Anyway have a nice day. BYE!

It was a magnificent morning, I was looking out from my balcony at the graceful wave that were rolling onto shore. I could hear the lively trees swishing against the wind. I thought about going surfing but after breakfast I was so hungry that I could eat anything. Of course I didn’t do that. I went inside to look in the kitchen. As I looked in the fridge I found some orange juice and a fruit salad. I was eating at my dining table looking at shore. Out of nowhere came a gigantic lighting strike gone before my eyes.

I was so puzzled as why there was a lighting strike because there was no storm but it was just a sunny day . I quickly ate my salad and drank my orange juice. I really wanted to see what happen so I quickly got changed into my togs. I was heading out to sea with my surfboard. When I touched the crystal clear water it was warm. But it was  to shallow so I went more deep. As laid down on my board to caught a wave I saw silver box in the sea. So I stopped and looked at it for 5 seconds. Then when I stopped looking at the silver box I got hit by the wave. I had got pushed in the water.

When I opened my eyes I was in the water and I could see the coral reef. All the vibrant colours make me happy. I explored a little bit, as I looked closer I saw the silver box but this time I could see it more clearly and I found out that it was a treasure box not a sliver box. When I picked it up it start to shake.

Skittles

Skittles

Aim: To separate colours by using the process of chromatography.

Materials;

1. Five Different colour skittles  
2. Petri Dish     
3. Water 


Process:

Step 1: First get your Petri dish and place your five different colour skittles 
   
Step 2: Put the skittles in a star shape here is a photo.

 

Step 3: Add in you water and see what happens
 

 Findings: The water was taking out the colour of the skittles and blinding it in with the other colours.    

Reflection: That water can take out the colour in skittles. 


Extension:

What is another experiment you could do using chromatography and how would you do it.

Chromatography

Chromatography

Aim: To separate colours by using the process of chromatography.

Definition: A technique for separating the different parts of a mixture / solid using liquid.

Rainbow Paper

Materials:

1. Cup

2. Chromatography paper 

3. Black felt 

4. Green felt

5. Red felt

6. Water

7. Ruler

Process: 

Step 1: Get a piece of the Chromatography paper  

Step 2: With your ruler rule 2 cm and line it up with a black felt.

  

Step 3: After that fold it up to the black line. 

Step 4: Then on the other side of the Chromatography paper rule out 1 cm and there take your black felt and make a dot.

Step 5: Then take you green felt and make a dot beside it leave some spaces. 

Step 6: After that take you red felt and make a dot beside it leaving some spaces. ⬆️ 

Step 7: Place the Chromatography paper into the a cup. Like this. 

Step 8: Add the water into the cup. When you add the water you make it just touch the Chromatography paper.               

Here is a photo of it at the end of the experiment. 

Findings: After leaving it in the water for five minutes the colour of the ink blinded and it reminded me of a sunset.    

Reflection: Maybe next time I should try another could and see what happens. But I think I should add more colours.  

DRAMA

DRAMA 

Hi guys hows it going? Today we had DRAMA i'm starting to enjoy drama because we are starting to act out plays. One fact about me was in the Air New Zealand safety video for 2018.

Dirty Water

Dirty Water 

Hi guys, today we did an experiment on Filtration. 

Filtration is separating solids from liquids by adding a medium through which only the liquid can pass. We had to do dirty water test. 

Aim: To make a filtration plant using household materials.

Examples are:

1. Kidney  
2. Swimming Pool 
3. Filter Paper
4. Tea bags

Materials

1. One plastic bottle 

2. Sand 

3. Pebbles 

4. Dirty Water

5. Scissor 

6. Filter 

7. A Cup 

8. Tissue paper

Process: 

Step 1

Cut the bottle in half to make a plastic funnel and a container that the dirty water will go through.   

Step 2

Put the top half upside down on the bottom half. 

STEP 3

Add a layer of filter paper. I suggest that you should fold it in quarters then unfold to make a cone shape.

STEP 4

Put some sand inside the cone and place it in the funnel

STEP 5

After that add your one cup of pebbles on top of the sand.

STEP 6
Then it is time to add in your 1 cup of dirty water.

STEP 7 
Record you work

Conclusion: My group had the most clearest water because we folded our filter paper 3 times in steed of 2 times.  

Here is a photo.
