DNA Extraction

Aim
To extraction  DNA from the kiwi fruit

Method
- Using a spatula, scoop 1/2 kiwifruit into the bag. Add 25ml water plus a pinch of salt
- Mush until a thick soup.
- Pour over cloth into a funnel into beaker
- Pour liquid into a test tube. Add dishwashing liquid and swirl. Allow sitting for 5 mins
- Tilt test tube on a 45-degree angle and slowly pour 10ml of ethanol down the side
- Allow sitting

Results- When we add the ethanol it started to separate it.

















Decision-
Water helped break kiwifruit apart.
Salt help climb the DNA
Ethanol helped to see it as it sits on top

Conclusion-


Child Slavery Paragraph

We don't need slaves in our world but people benefit from them. Children have lost their education, they have lost their rights and they have lost their freedom. Children are most liked by masters because they cost less and give less resistance. 
Most families with people that are involved with forced labour are poor and live in poverty.  Example of the countries that live like this are Somalia, Sudan, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Most children are bought by owners of Mines, carpet factories and brick kilns. As previously stated they don't get paid very much if at all. Why did people decide that slavery was a good idea when it has to lead to so many issues now.

Reflection Post - The Narrative




Something new
Something new I learnt was  Protagonist and Antagonist, a protagonist is a leading character or one of the major characters in a play, film, novel. The antagonist is An antagonist is a character in a story who is against the protagonist usually the villain. 

Something I liked 
Setting It Up for this exercise, we used different settings and wrote 3 short, opening descriptions that show the reader when and where the action is taking place. I like this activity because we got to write about what we wanted to.

Fortnite hack- Free v-bucks ( not clickbait )


This term we have been working the study of people's efficiency in their working environment, Smart media and Interlard.
https://beinternetawesome.withgoogle.com/en_us/interland/landing/kind-kingdom

Ergonomics 
I liked the study of Ergonomics. I found fascinating how important sitting upright was for your back.
Smart media 
For this lesson, we went on Interland and played a game 
Here are the levels from the game 


Reality River

It’s important to help kids become aware that people and situations online aren’t always as they seem. Discerning between what’s real and what’s fake is a very real lesson in online safety.

Mindful Mountain

Good (and bad) news travels fast online, and without some forethought, kids can find themselves in tricky situations that have lasting consequences. The solve? Learning how to share with those they know and those they don’t.

Tower of Treasure

Personal privacy and security are just as important online as they are offline. Safeguarding valuable information helps kids avoid damaging their devices, reputations, and relationships.

Kind kingdom

The Internet is a powerful amplifier that can be used to spread positivity or negativity. Kids can take the high road by applying the concept of “treat others as you would like to be treated” to their actions online, creating a positive impact for others and disempowering bullying behaviour.

Later on in the term, we did some more work on smart media. This time we also had a look at common sense youtube channel 



Entrepreneurship

What was your biggest takeaway from this video?
Those hobbies can be a job as well
What part of this video struck you the most?
That kids as young as 11 were making thousands of dollars.

Gender and the Media

What was your biggest takeaway from this video?
That ever where we look the media is feeding us with what we should wear and look like.
What part of this video struck you the most?
That the media is everywhere

Internet Hoaxes

What was your biggest takeaway from this video?
That a lot of news site post fake news
What part of this video struck you the most?
That people waste their time to make up fake news
