Health (Binge Drinking)

So for the past few weeks in health we have been working on discovery questions, so first we had to choose a topic I choose to do binge drinking.  My questions I choose were how does it begin, who can/can't, when should you stop, what diseases does this link with, and why would someone be not or against this. Down below you can see my slideshow I made before we could do the slide we had to do a doc answering the questions after we have finished the doc we had to make a presentation. You could make the presentation on  powtoon and other websites our teacher insist we don't use slideshow but if do to add pictures and make it look interesting.

Condensation (Science)

Filtration: Solid + Liquid >

Evaporation: Liquid ( solid dissolved in liquid) > gas > solid

Distillation: Liquid ( solid dissolved in liquid) > gas > liquid solid

What is : 
Evaporation: heating liquid, turns to a gas so we can separate a solution, by evaporating away the solvent to leave a solute (solid).

Condensation: cooling down a gas, turn into a liquid it is a reverse of evaporation where liquid water becomes a vapour.

Aim: To separate a solute from a solvent in a solution using distillation.

Equipment: A solution of saltwater, conical flask, heatproof mat, a delivery tube and bung, Bunsen burner, tripod, gauze mat, retort stand, boss head, and clamp, boiling tube

Method:

1. Set up equipment as shown in the diagram.
2. Add approximately 50 ml of saltwater to your conical flask.
3. Light your Bunsen burner. Open the air hole and gently push the Bunsen burner under tripod.
4. Heat the solution until most of the solvent has been evaporated. Turn off your Bunsen burner.

Hypothesis:

I think that when we heat the coke zero we won't see in solid after it is finish but I do think that when we do it to the normal coke it will leave sugar behind.

Notes:

• So for the first few minutes there were small bubbles that would occur a few times.
• After awhile the coke started to evaporate.
• The gas started to condensation and turned into liquid.
• Now the coke is changing from coke to water the more the liquid starts evaporate because after the gas starts to condensation and turn into liquid.
• After it is all finish there is only a thick layer of sugar that is black, there are also some of the colour and adaptive.

Conclusion:

All that was left behind in the normal coke was lots of dissolved sugar and in the coke zero there was less dissolved sugar and adaptive.

Science (Dilution)

 Aim: The aim of this experiment is to do Serial Dilution

Method: 6 test tube in the first test tube we put 10ml of water and in the rest we put 5ml, we put potassium permanganate to the 10ml test tube. Move 5ml of the liquid from the 1st test tube to the next and next etc.

Hypothesis: That test tube 6 will be the most dilution and the 1st test tube will be the most concentration.

The one that the most concentration was the 1st test tube, I knew that it was going to be the 1st test tube before we started because. We put the potassium permanganate so when we put 5ml of water.

Holiday (Baby Cats)

During the holiday I always was outside and I would always see a cat going into this bush I always wondered why the cat keep going in the bush. After awhile I didn't see the cat go in the bush anymore so I went looking for the cat and found it dead on the road it got run over. So since I've always  wanted to know why that cat keep going to the bush I went to look, as I got closer to the bush I heard meow's from inside when I got inside I saw a another cat scratching at the baby cats and hissing them so I scared it away. I took the baby cats in and took care of it and after a week 1 they turn in to some big mystical lion and they said they would be my guardian angels and take care of me.

Nachos

A few weeks back we had to make nachos so first we had to get all the ingredients for the nachos, so once we had got all our ingredients we had to start putting the things together. So we cut up all the vegetables like tomato, onion, etc so when we had cut up all the vegetables we started to cook our mince in a vegetable oil. After it was well cooked we added the source and the vegetables, when it was done cooking the teacher gave everyone there own bowls of nacho chips and we had to added the mince that we had cooked into the chips and we also got put cheese on top and we ate the food.

Reflection on business and enterprise

For the past few weeks we have been been planning to do a business and enterprise so for the first week we had to pick our group. Once we had choose our groups we had to pick our roles in the group like CEO and etc, in my group was Richard, Patrick, and William. My group was not successful because we run out of whipped cream my group lost $3.  

Cupcake

 Last week in food tech we got make cupcakes every group got the same recipe but each group got a paper that had 2 or 1 ingredient that they had to change. But one group got to make the original recipe for our group the one we had change butter into oil oatmeal into flour. Afterwards we had to test every groups cupcake and write a description about each cupcake we ate and tick if we liked it or not.    

Stir Fry

 In food tech we had to make stir fried in our stir fry we had cut up chicken, noodles, and vegetables so first we had to boil the noodles in a pot while that is boiling. We had to get cut up onions and let it cook till it was gold when its cooked we had to cook the chicken pieces when done we had to drain the water from the noodles. After we have chucked our noodles and vegetables in we tip soy sauce in and keep steering it till you see everything well cooked then we put it on a plate and eat it. 

Stop motion

Ki O Rahi

Ki o rahi you can play touch or ripper so you have to have the ball and touch the poles and try it down in,

• If a team goes out of bounds it is hand over.
• The taniwha scores points by throwing the ball at the barrel
• Three touches before hand over.
• If you do a jump shot the ball has to leave your hand before you touch ground.
• There can only 2-3 people in the middle guarding.
• If taniwha scores the play carry on.

Science (Can experiment)

Expansion is when something gets warmer it starts to expand and it is kind of the same thing as contractions but. When it gets cooler it starts to get smaller, this is good because with a thermometers work because the liquid inside them expands and rises and rises up the tube when it gets hotter. When the can is added into cold water the steam starts to leave the can so it is leaving the can empty, with very low pressure inside the can. Since there is low pressure in the can makes the wall of the can force inwards causing it to implode. When the water is getting heat up in the can the particles start to get energy from the heat and starts to move fast and faster, when the can was added into the cold water the particles started to slow down because. When the particles are placed in hot water it moves fast so when it is placed into cold water it will start to slow down because the coldest of the water brings the particles close together.

Film Study ( 30 - 35secs)

For the past few weeks, we have been doing film studies only because we had to film our movie but first, we had to get into groups of 4. In my group, there was Richard, William, and Ibrahim our film is about a stalker and he follows the kids around when they are running and playing. At the end the stalker kills the 2 kids, Richard is one of the kids he is playing on the playground until Ibrahim comes. Ibrahim is one of the kids but he is a bully so when he comes on the playground he starts to bully Richard so Richard runs and Ibrahim chases him till they get to the field. When they get to the field I come out of the bush and pull Ibrahim into the bush because he was at the back after that Richard will turn around to and he will see Ibrahim shoe he will go and I will pull him in the bush and kill him too.

Our film is about 2 kids get killed by a killer, I enjoyed making the scenes because it was fun. I learned what shots are what I found nothing challenging it was fun. Next hopefully we can act better in the films.

Wanaga

For the past few weeks, the class has been on scratch playing games and creating games, me I have been only playing games the main game I have been playing is geometry dash it is a very nice game. I have also been playing on mathletics on there I have gone up to levels.

PE

This week in PE we have been doing fitness and we also have been playing games of netball at first we had to learn the skills of netball than we would play the game at the end of class. My team loss we did try but the other team was unfair because two of there teammates hit two of our teammates so we just said we won.

Metal

For the past few weeks, we have been creating designs on a site called tinkercad on that site we can design all sorts of things but we have been creating dog tags. Every time we create a new one would use a different type of material today Mr told us that we will use a type of metal for the last time we do a dog tag

Science (Digestive System)

This we had to make a presentation about the digestive system you could make it on any platform, I choose to do my presentation on a slide. Down below you can see the work I have done, we had 2 weeks to finish this we had a long time to do it because our film study teacher wasn't here so we had science the whole week last week.

Digital Tech

For the past 3 weeks in digital tech, we have been learning about a few different things the first thing we did was went on a site called code.org. On that site, we got to learn and got to play around on so basically there will be different options to choose from. the options will be games that you create it's really easy to use because there are tutorial videos they show you before you code you can choose to skip or not after that you can start coding when you finish coding you get a certificate. So I choose to make a flappy bird game just change up everything the only I kept was the objective so the certificate I got is shown below. Really liked this because I got to play games after I had created my game from code.org I learned how to code.

The next thing we did was we had to make a design process diagram so first, we had to research it because most the kids our class didn't know what a design process diagram so we did our research and after that, we made one it very easy and simple once we were finished making it we had to put on our site. Our site is where we put all our work so when we need we go back and we take what we need and put it on our blog or we just use to show our parents our work down below you can see my design process diagram. I didn't really enjoy this one because it was boring but the things I've learned from this is how the design process works.

The next week we had to make an infographic about ergonomics, ergonomics is the way you sit so it was about how you should sit and how you shouldn't sit. So like the other project, it was pretty straight forward simple and easy so an infographic is like a poster but it has a collection of imagery, charts, and minimal text that gives an easy way to understand what you have written so the information is quickly and clearly down below you can see my work. This one was fine it took me a while to finish but I learned how to sit and what happens if you do and if you don't sit probably and what happens when you don't sit probably.

I really enjoyed playing around on code.org I really liked it because I got to play games on.

Coraline

Food

Today in the food we made a pita pocket first we got into our groups after that we discussed in our groups what we want in the pocket. Our ingredient was carrot, onion, and cheese there was ham but no one wanted to get it so we left it then we diced the onion shredded the cheese and carrot after we put an ingredient in the pocket and got it rated then ate it.

Home Economics

In-home economics today we went into the kitchen so we could find our place like the teacher pointed us to a table and that was our food group. We also had to right up stuff about roles and responsibility after that we had to make a word art image in the image you could put words in the image. The image had to be something about food or safety and hygiene after we had to add things in about food and safety and hygiene. As you can see below it is an image I made using word art.  

Coraline: Plot Point

                     
                       The Plot of Coraline



                               

Workshop 3: Follow up Task: Write a paragraph explain how are colour and lighting used to create the two worlds?

The colour in the real world is boring it does not have much colour in the world so it's colourless the colours in the real world is dull, grey, dim, and sunless. We see this when they first move in and Coraline goes for a walk if you look in the background you can see that there are trees and plants and they are all dead or they are dying. This makes the audience think that the real world is miserable and sad the director did this to so when Coraline goes to the other world should want to stay because if it was the same as the real world she wouldn't want to stay and she would stay in the real world there would be no plot point and no movie. Since the real world is so dull it worked well with the otherworld because it made Coraline want to stay and not wanna go back to the real world. This reminds of the movie hotel Transylvania because it is all about monsters and the other world in this movie is the human world and Mavis is not allowed to go because of the father.

Blood cells

2020 run there is a virus called the coronavirus call for the white blood cells were already here red blood cells get back white blood cells move in if we don’t make it out of this it was good fighting alongside you guys. Attack, captain they are nearly dead we have to keep moving we have no time to waste we have to take out the mother ship or we will all be dead. White blood cell 2 runs right white blood cell 3 runs left were gonna take out the mother once we do that they will run ATTACK NOW!!! BOOM!  Everyone run now it’s gonna blow BOOM! It’s over and has destroyed the enemy's legs to the bar.

Arthritis Research

Arthritis is caused by a thing called an immune system that is attacking your healthy body tissue, but still, people have not found out what is the cause of arthritis but usually, your immune system is will make antibodies that fight the bacteria and so it will help keep the infection away. Not everyone can get arthritis risk factors to increase your chance of getting arthritis but people can develop them without any of the risk factors

Workshop 3: How does lighting & Colour enhance the story

Atmosphere - Feel in space, the energy around you.

Mood - how you feel.

Location - place something is happening.

Lighting - Natural - light that comes from nature - sun, moon, stars, lightning, fire.
                Artificial - man-made light source - electricity, light bulbs.

Warm light - yellow/orange tone
Cold light - blue/green/white tone-clean/clinical

Bright - fills the space.
dull - fill half the space -faded.

Colour - colour palette - what are the predominant colours used.

Warm colours - welcoming, happy, friendly.
Cold colours - depressed, sad, chilly, lonely.
                                      -clean, clinical

Brainstorm: lighting/colour
What is shaping - Coraline and her family having breakfast in the real kitchen look rusted, tired.

Describe - lighting - natural light - clouds through the windows.
Cold - white tone
Bright - whole space bright

Colour - white, yellowish, cream - old
cold - make space feel tired.

What is the effect on the viewer - boring, sad, dull, understand that they are not a happy family, Coraline unhappy.

Directors Purpose - makes the other world seem better.
Coraline doesn't like the real world.

Any other techniques - setting - outside the window is loudly and grey, furniture looks old and run down. Doesn't feel lived in-empty.
angles/shots, music,costume,make-up,setting

What's happening - Coraline other parent eating dinner in the other kitchen.
everyone looks happy.

Describe - artefact - ceiling light -warm - yellow/orange tone, dull -some spaces dark.

Colour - red, orange, white, black.
              warm - happy, safe, welcome

Effect on the viewer - Compact/closer, interesting, welcoming, safe.
                                  - Coraline is happy to be there.

Inside and Out (Heart dissection)

Yesterday in science we had to get into groups of 3 or 4 after that we miss had given us a pig heart for each group. Afterward, we had to examine the pig's heart with the tools that miss had given us the tools that we used were Scaple scissors tweezers in my group was Willam, Ibrham, and I. At first me and Willam played around with the heart like holding it we tried to make our friend Ibrham touch but he said he wouldn't touch it because he thinks it looks yuck. So first Willam grabs the scaple then he started to cut the heart first he made a nice little cut enough for us to open the heart and let us see inside. We tried to figure out what parts are which I would show you guys an image but I can't so I'm sorry but instead, I have this photo of this diagram the diagram is a heart. For the last few minutes, I cut the heart in half and started naming things, The heart is important because you need it to help you breathe so the oxygen goes to your heart through one vessel so it would enter in blue then after it would exit the heart red and go to the lungs.

Genre Research Reflection

The task we had to do is we had to figure out questions about a music genre of our choice the genre we choose to do is rap. So we had to answer questions like the history of rap the style of rap etc, the reason why we did rap was that my group and I thought it was going to be the easiest genre.

Rapping (or rhyming, spitting, emceeing, MCing) is a musical form of vocal delivery that incorporates "rhyme, rhythmic speech, and street vernacular", which is performed or chanted in a variety of ways, usually over a backing beat or musical accompaniment.

Rapping originated from Africa centuries before hip hop music was even invented. In west Africa, there were people who would tell their story but rhythmically over the drums and sparse: instrumentation. A notable rap song that was recorded is the 1950 song “Gotta Let You Go” by Joe Hill Louis.

The reason rap is called is that in late 1960 there was a rapper who called himself Hubert G. Brown but then changed it to H. Rap Brown. It is a word of slang the meaning of the slang is speech or oration but they didn’t call it rap until a decade later.

The first known female rap artist is Sha-Rock she was born in 1962 during her rapping career she was called the Mother of the mic. Since she was considered the first female rapper before she became a rapper she first started breaking dancing then a few years later is when she started to rap and make music.

The first known rapper is Coke La Rock he is known for being the first rapper to ever start spitting rhymes after partnering up with Dj Kool Herc in 1973. People recognize both as the original founding fathers of Hip Hop, while Rap music was just underground. Dj Kool Herc would rap at some of the parties he would DJ at and some people would say he was inspired by the Jamaican Tradition. The Jamaican Tradition is when people would gather up and would be talking or chanting usually in a monotone melody over a beat by the DJ.a

The fastest rapper in history is Twista, Twista has rapped 11.2 syllables per second so 11 syllables in just one second he became the first rapper in 1992. His fastest rap song is called Twista-Mista he raps 1,287 words in 4 minutes 36 seconds that is about 280 words per minute.

Hip-hop has never been more popular than it is today, but many fans probably still wouldn’t know who Aubrey Graham is, even though they stream his songs every day.

Going back to the early days of rap music, stage names have been a huge part of its culture. Even many of the most popular rappers to ever hold a microphone have kept their real names a mystery so we are trying to find their real names today too.

Workshop 2: linking themes to impact of angles, movement and shots

Brainstorm -

What is happening in this shot -
Other Wybie standing on stairs outside the house. 'Other mother' asks him to smile from the doorway, instead, he frowns. Other Wybie making self smaller-less of a target-head down, shoulders hunched. It looks weak and vulnerable.

Angles/Shots - High angle - makes Wybie look overpowered, weak and vulnerable,
POV - 'Other mother', makes her seem stronger, bigger, more dominant.

Viewer - Makes viewers feel sorry for/ scared for other Wybie.

Why did the director do this -

Foreshadowing hinting at what is to come.
hinting that maybe the other mother isn't so wonderful.

Other Techniques - lighting - spotlight on Wybie - like he's on the spot/ under focus - dark around creates a creepy atmosphere.

In the scene with the other mother and the other Wybie we see high angle shots used to show the theme 'looks can be deceiving'. We see this when the other mother asks the other Wybie to smile but he hunches over and frowns instead. This makes the audience feel sorry for the other Wybie because he looks scared. The use of a high angle shot from the other mother's point of view adds to this feeling as it makes the Other Wybie look weak and vulnerable. Why did the director do this to foreshadow the change of the other mother from creepy to more creepy. Coinciding with this is the use of lighting. A spotlight is on the other Wybie emphasizing that he is under the focus of the Other Mother. This reminds us of early in the film where a low angle shot was used to make Wybie seem big and scary but he really he was just ordinary this links us to the scene because it also shows looks can be deceiving.

Drama

Today in drama we are trying to do a play there are 3 of us in the group in the group there is Kaedun, Alex, and I. For our plays we have to relate it to teenagers problems our situations, my groups doing it based around how kids are distracted by their devices. So in our play, Alex is sitting down on his phone and I run it and tell him that the house is on fire so when I tell him he is to distract on his phone to listen so I run out and ring the fire department that's when Kaedun comes in while music is playing in the background. Kaedun in the play is a fireman and he rescues Alex at the end they end it off with a smile with thumbs up and winking.

Workshop 1: Unpacking Themes and Ideas?

Themes & Ideas - continuous idea/subject that links throughout the text.

Looks can be deceiving - don't judge a book by its cover, don't judge by appearance. 

Examples of it in the film - when she meets Wybie because when first meet him he looked scary when we got to meet him he is a nerd, shy kid, and a geek he seemed scary the first time we met him because he was above Coraline so it makes him look bigger and loud music and lighting at the back 

Shows theme being because like other characters, our first impressions based on appearance, tone, visual, techniques aren't always correct. 

Important because it helps out the audience understand with Coraline that just because something looks good doesn't mean it is- she should choose the real world over the other world.

Example 2 - Character of Other mother - she seems normal/friendly at the start but by the end becomes a soul-devouring spider demon.

Shows theme because Other mother isn't what she appears to be at the start so we shouldn't judge by first impressions.

Important because Coraline realizes that having something that looks perfect isn't always a good thing.

Statement - In Coraline, the theme' looks can be deceiving' is used effectively to engage the audience.

Evidence - For instance, the character of the ' Other mother' shows us that looks can be deceiving because she starts off as a kind mother figure but gradually changes into a soul-devouring.

Explanation -  This makes us understand that we shouldn't judge a character based on first impressions as they can often be wrong.

eXplanation - This is done to help Coraline decide between the real world and the other world if the 'Other mother' was really perfect Coraline wouldn't choose to go home.

eXplanation - Combined with this is the use of colour and lighting. the 'Other mother' first appears in a vibrantly bright room that makes us feel warm and safe, however, by the end it has become dark and green which makes the viewer feel scared and show that her first look was deceiving.
(shots/angles, music,)
(setting,lighting/colour)

Your link this can be juxtaposed to the character of Wybie who we think at first is evil but is actually kind, proving looks can deceiving.

Drama

For 2 periods of drama, we have been learning how to make little play using some tik tok in groups we didn't have to use the whole dance we could just use one move. At first, my group didn't know what to do but later on, we find out what to do, for our play I played as a bull, and I had to chase someone because they had walked into the wrong Penn. While I was chasing her there were two people outside of the Penn looking inside and laughing at the girl that was getting chased by the bull but later on I got shot of stage so that's the whole play. The way we used tik tok moves in this play was the two people outside do tik tok dances while laughing and before the girl walked into the Penn she cleaned her shoes it's a tik tok dance.
