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.

DNA extraction (Science)

Aim -
-Our aim is to successfully extract DNA from the Kiwi Fruit

Method -
-Using Spatula, Scoop, 1/2 kiwifruit into and bag. Add 25ml Water + a pinch of salt
-Mush until a thick soup
-Pour over cloth into funnel into beaker.
-Pour liquid into test tube. Add dish washing liquid + swirl. Allow to sit for 5 mins.
-Tilt test tube on liquid on 45 degree angle and slowly pour 10ml of ethanol down the side.
-Allow to sit.

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



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



Conclusion- We successfully extracted DNA from the kiwi fruit

Child slavery Paragraph

Child Slavery is still happening even in modern times, There are still a large percentage  of people that are still in Child Slavery. A lot of children are kidnapped and forced to do all labor works. Labor works are Carpet making, Brick making and mining. Their rights were taken away as they don't have choice. For example the human rights that they have had taken from them are Freedom and Access to education. Most of these slaves pay their dept to the Money-lenders, they work all day, every day, and they don't get paid fairly. The Children were kidnapped and do work as they told to do like Carpet making, Brick making and Mining and they lose their human rights such as Freedom and Access to Education.

SoSt

In Social Studies, we've been learning about Modern Child Labour in different countries, and there is a lot of differences in each and every country like; Carpet making, Mining, Brick making and Mining.

Here is my map and my map shows all the places where child labor happens and when you click on the pins some information pops up saying how much children were used and where the children worked in.

Hottest and Coldest place on earth

Coldest place on earth 
Summer at Vostok Station in Antarctica is still plenty cold, but winter atop the East Antarctic Plateau is as cold as it gets on Earth. Scientists already knew that the lowest temperatures ever measured on Earth were on a frozen ice ridge in eastern Antarctica, near the South Pole
There are also animals that live in Antarctica, there are Adelie penguin, Chinstrap penguin, Leopard Seals, Elephant seals, Snow petrels, king penguin, Emperor penguin, Killer whales (Orca), Wandering Albatross, Blue whale, and more.




Hottest place on earth was named Death Valley, Death Valley is also known as Hottest, Driest, and Lowest National Park. 
- In this below-sea level basin, steady drought and record summer heat make Death Valley a Land of Extremes. Yet, Each extreme has a striking contrast. Towering peaks are frosted with winter snow. Rare rainstorms bring vast fields of wildflowers. Lush oases harbor tiny fish and refuge for wildlife and humans. Despite its morbid name, a great diversity of life survives in Death Valley.There are also animals that leave in the hottest place on earth and they are called, dessert bighorn sheep, Dessert cottontail, Roadrunner, Mojave fringe toed lizard, and kit Fox.The hottest temperature in Death valley is; In fact, the all-time hottest temperature ever measured on Earth came on July 10, 1913, when Death Valley hit a sizzling 134 Fahrenheit (56.7 degrees C) 

Language Features (Onomatopoeia)
