Making Indicators

• Aim: To make acid-base indicators using everyday substances. 
• Method for Beetroot 

1. Chop The beetroot into small pieces until you have enough to fill 2 cubs 

2. Place beetroot in a large beaker and add water to cover it 

3. Boil over a Bunsen burner for at least ten min for colour out of the cabbage

4. Filter out the plant material to obtain a red-purple-bluish coloured liquid. This liquid is at about pH 7

5. Place in a small beaker and leave to one side

Equipment: 

• Beetroot, a beaker, water, tripod, Bunsen burner, Gansen mat, 

Results                   Acid                  Base

Beetroot                Yellow               Yellow

Cabbage                Red, pink          Green 

Tea                        Yellow               Yellow

Tumeric                 Yellow               Red 

Cranberry              Yellow               Green

Discussion:  We went through the process of adding different chemicals to our everyday substance indicators and each chemical changed to show us if it was a strong base, weak base or strong acid and weak acid by colour changing.

Conclusion: We made our indicators to show what chemicals are acids and bases. I think that beetroot worked better.

The power of one: SEXXY Paragraphs 2

The director uses close-up shots in the film, For example in this scene we can see Sergeant Bormann questioning Gell Piet against a stone wall with his baton, it is also night this adds an effect to the scene. The purpose of this was to add a level of intensity to the scene and also shows how miss treated people where. This scene makes the audience feel sad and sorry for Geel Piet also a little scared. This scene can be compared to an earlier scene where Geel Piet was also threatened by Sergeant Bormann. Go to the last post for more depth on that scene.

The Power of one

A long shot can be used to introduce the scene. In this scene, we can see an officer with a baton by his side in the foreground while seeing Geel Piet, doc and Pk standing in the doorway as well as some other blacks in the background. The director's purpose of this shot is to show that the guard does not like Geel Piet and the others. This scene has an effect on the audience, it makes them feel sorry and a little scared for Geel Piet. We can link this to another scene in the movie where Sgt, Botha raids the boxing gym and beats up Pk trainer, this scene also makes us feel scared

Unfinished Draft

When I was a young boy, I was full of hope but over the years London broke me. It was overcrowded and polluted.  My parents left me when I was six. I grew up in a foster home close to the ports. Every morning for ten years, I woke to the smell of fish. On my 16 birthday was the first time in years hope ran through my body. A poster, It promised a new beginning in a land with jobs to be filled, it sounded like paradise. I was still too young and poor to move from home. I did some maths, I need to earn 10 pounds a week for two years to afford a ticket. But Jobs were hard to find. While I was job searching I met a man by the name of Groot. Groot had a rough character, he was a little older than me.

We spent weeks looking for jobs together. During this time we both learnt a lot about each other. Groot was homeless for most of his life, he too had lost his parents at a young age. He taught me how to live off the streets. Every Sunday night we would sneak into gated communities, The wealthy would throw out all kinds of things. Every night we would commit a new crime. It wasn't long before I had more than enough money to leave. But I was hooked, over the next two years I built up an underground crime ring, I had money by the bucky load.

Everybody knew my name, I made most my money through smaller crimes lending loans or robbing
the rich. I had something big planned, one last hit on the bank of London then I would flee to the
paradise I was promised years ago.

Model Atoms

Aim:
 To make a model atom using classroom resources.

Equipment:
Paper
Tape
Plastic Beads
Blue Tac
String

Method-
-Choose any element  from 1-7 on the periodic table
- Get the right amount of beads with a different colour. They represented the Neutrons & Protons
- Attach the neutrons and proton beads to the blue tac (the right amount for what element you have chosen)
- Attach that to the string, MAKE SURE IT STAYS ON
- Get your piece of paper, cut the need doughnut-shaped (KNOWN AS THE OUTER SHELL) pieces out, if there is two cut one big and one small enough to fit inside the big one.
- Draw how many electrons you need to in each circle for example, in the small circle of-Beryllium would need 2 and 2 in the bigger one.
- Tape your string that is attached to your beads, to the outer shells at the right height so your beads hang in the middle of the smallest shell.

Discussion
I do not have a pic to show you, but I created the hydrogen atom. 
I think I was successful.

Child Labour

Child Labour

Companies like Nestle, Hershey’s and Microsoft and Apple are still buying the resource they need from places that use child labour, child labour is the employment of children in an industry of business. Coco is needed to make chocolate and rare minerals that are used in smart-phones batteries. A lot of these young kids want an education and want to take part in a daily task that school provides. Many of these kids are usually small and can reach dangerous parts of the mines. There are an estimated around 132 million children under 15 years of age working around the world. Most child workers can be found in Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and Latin America. But child labour today is not restricted to developing countries. A lot of developing countries think that child labour is needed to be successful.




What is child labour?
the use of children in industry or business, especially when illegal or considered inhumane.
Who/where is apart of child labour?

• The Democratic Republic of the Congo.
• Ethiopia
• India
• Liberia
• Myanmar 
• Nigeria
• Pakistan

Why is child labour used
A lot of developing countries think that child labour is needed to be successful.

Thinking about cloning

   1. Cloning endangered/extinct animals?

I neither agree or disagree with cloning endangered/extinct animal. If the animal in endangered than cloning is all right but only if it is human caused.  If they are extinct than there are no others of there species to teach them how to act and find food.

  2. Cloning highly productive plants and animals

I agree with this because if we have apple trees that grow more apples than others apple trees would clone that apple tree to save room on more.

  3.  Cloning should be used to replicate a child that is dying.

I Disagree with this because cloning another child would not save his or her life. You are only creating another person that looks like the dying person.
