CIP

Hi guys how are you doing? Today I am going to be talking about CIP. Last blog post I was talking about helping the homeless and more. This blog post is a new topic which is about picking up rubbish and making it into art and to clean up rubbish. I think that it is a great idea because we have a big problem with our rubbish. I think we will pick up more that nine bags of rubbish or more because there is a lot of us doing this project. I also think that we will mostly find cans and a lot of chip packets because we have found a lot of it around school. I would like to make my art useful for example a reusable bag. Thanks for reading BYE!     

YOU NEED HELP???

YOU NEED HELP?

Hi guys today I am going  be telling how you can do things that right way. Today I will be writing about How you can make a paper plane?

For this you just need one paper. 

1. Fold your paper in half. Like this: 

2. Then open it back up. 

3. Is to make two triangles

4. Fold your two triangles

5. Then you have to make you two triangles again

6. Fold in half. Like This: 

7. In that shape you have to fold it in half again. Then do it on the other side as well. 

Now it is ready to fly. BYE

Home Chemistry - Crazy Crystals

Aim: To learn about a saturated solution and how to make crystals 

Definition of solution: 

A liquid mixture, when something is dissolved into a liquid (eg: sugar in water) 

Definition of saturated: 

Having or holding as much as can be absorbed of something (when no more sugar or borax can be dissolved into the water)

Borax Crystals

Materials

Ratio; 3 Tablespoons Borax per 1/2 cup water

1)Borax 

2)String 

3)Cup

4) pipe cleaners

5) table spoon
6) Popsicle stick
7) Warm water

Process

Step 1: Add in 1/2 a cup of water in you cup 
Step 2: Then add in 3 table spoons of borax

Step 3: Mix until deserved 
Tip: You can add more borax if it can take more borax
Step 4: Tie your string to your Popsicle stick

Step 5: Make a star shape with you pipe cleaner and tie it to your string

Step 6: Put your star into the borax and water solution

Sugar Crystals

Materials

Ratio: 1 cup sugar to 1/2 cup water

1)Sugar

2)String

3)Table spoon

4)Cup

5)Popsicle stick

Process

Step 1: Get a cup of water 

Step 2: Add in 4 or more if needed table spoons of water

Step 3: Mix till deserved

Step 4: Tie your string to you Popsicle stick

Step 5: The put your Popsicle stick with the string in your salutation  

Step 6: After some days you will see crystals

Findings

Describe your crystals in the table below.

Crystal Type	Shape (Describe the shape)	Size (of individual crystals)	Hardness (Crumbly to Rock Hard)
Borax	Star	It didn't work but the size was large	It was still soft
Sugar	No Crystals Formed
Salt	The Salt crystal formed on the Popsicle stick.  Cube.	Tiny	Rocky

What crystals worked out best and why?:

Conclusion:

________________________________________________________________________

Explain how the following crystals are formed?

Type
Salt	Salt is made by putting sea water into a pond and then the sun evaporates the water. Then you are left with salt.  Meaning of evaporates: It when a liquid turns into gas and floats away in the air.
Sugar	First the sugar cane is cut up and rolled into a thin line. Then they remove the fibre and melted it underneath a hot pot to make it into a syrup. Then they add in sugar and that starts the process. Then after some hours it makes sugar.
Snowflakes	I forms by the cold and hot breeze and it makes a snowflake.

       

CRYSTAL TYPES

AIM: TO LOOK AT THE 7 DIFFERENT TYPES OF CRYSTALS

Salt Crystals

Tetragonal	12	Diamond, Crystal

I Made CRYSTALS

Science Experiment

Hi guys, today I thought I would do a science experiment on the salt water crystals. Have you ever heard of the salt water crystal experiment? Well today I will show you have to do it and walk you through the steps of making this crystal. Before we start I would like to say you have to have parental supervision when you are doing this experiment because we will be use fire. Anyway lets go! 

Materials:

1. Table Salt  

2. Water

3. String

4. Colouring food #Optional 

5. Jar or Cup

6. Pan

7. Table Spoon

8. Measuring Cup 

9. Pen or Pencil 

Process:

Step 1: Get a pot and put it on the stove

Step 2: Add in 120 ml of water

Step 3: Let it start to boil  

Step 4: Then add in 60 ml of table salt

Step 5: Off the stove and put it in your jar or cup

Step 6: Add you food colouring

Step 7: Get a string and tie it to a pencil 

Step 8: Put your string that it tied to your pencil in the cup

Step 9: Put your cup by the widow

Drama Time

Drama Time 

Hi guys today I'm going to be talking about what we did in drama for this week. On Tuesday we did puppet making with Miss Clark about the topic we have been doing. My group has made a apple, water, cola and pizza. As you have read this you can see that we have two health foods and two unhealthy foods. We are doing our topic about mental and emotional well-being. Here are some photos.  

On Friday we did a plan showing what we were going to do and how we're going to do it. We had to make a plan of how our performance is going to go. The performance is going to be 3 minutes long. Here is a photo. 

The Plan!

The Plan

Hi guys today I am talking about the plan. If you guys don't know I am doing something called Community Impact Project. But we call it (CIP). CIP is when we have a group of us students that help our community. We have Hornby High Community, Hornby Community,  Christchurch Community and the Global Community. I am in the Christchurch Community because I have seen a lot of homeless people around Christchurch and I would like to fix that problem. So I am working a group with my friends and they are Elisha Mae, Neveah and Shreya. Some ideas we came up with was to help the homeless, Help the SPCA and Help the people with health problems.   

We thought about doing a market day, mufti day and sausage sizzles. We don't have many ideas but if you have any ideas please comment.
