Apple Crumble

Today in Home Economics we made apple crumble.

Ingredients: Cinnamon, Flour, Apple, Rolled Oats, Coconut, White Sugar, Brown Sugar.

Crystal and Acid Rain

In Science we have been doing an experiment about Crystals.

1. Add 20 mL of sulfuric acid to a 100 mL beaker. Heat the acid until it reaches 70 C.
2. Once heated, use a spatula to add pea-sized portions of copper oxide to the beaker. Stir the mixture for 30 seconds.
3. Repeat step 2 until no more will dissolve. Allow the beaker to cool.
4. Fold the filter paper and place it in the funnel. Place the filter funnel into the second beaker.
5. Make sure the beaker is cool enough to hold at the top. The contents should till be hot. You may need your teacher.
6. Gently swirl the contents of the beaker to mix, and then pour into the filter paper in the funnel. Allow to filter through.
7. Rinse the beaker you used to heat the mixture previously, and place it back on top of your tripod filled with 50-60 mL of water.
8. Place the evaporating basin on top of the beaker and carefully pour some of the solution from the beaker into the evaporating basin.
9. Gently heat the beaker until the solution in the evaporating basin has reduced by half.
10. Leave the evaporating basin to cool. 

How does Acid Rain affect coral reefs: It make the water too acidic and it affects sealife.

This week in English we have been learning about Camera Shots.





In this scene, the director used two-shot to show the intense emotions of both characters. We see this when Sergeant Bormann held a weapon against Geel piet’s neck as we see the fear in his eyes. The purpose of this two-shot is to help us see Geel’s Piet emotion as he was getting chocked by a baton. The purpose of this was to also see the guard’s anger as he was determined to kill Geel Piet. This made the audience feel miserable for Geel Piet. This aspect can be seen later in the movie as how the guards treat the black people.

Today in Science we were an experiment about the ph scale. We used Universal Indicator and then we added hydrochloric acid and the Sodium Hydroxide in.

Science Experiment

In Science we done an experiment about Oil of Wintergreen. 

1. Weigh 0.25 grams of salicylic acid into a 10-15 cm test tube.
2. Add 2.0 ml of methanol to the test tube and swirl until the solid dissolves.
3. Slowly add 10 drops of sulfuric acid.
4. Place the test tube in a hot water bath and secure by using a utility clamp and heat for 15 minutes.
5. Cool the test tube in running water.
6. Smell the contents by wafting and record any observations. 

Hamburgers in Home Economics

In Home Economics we made Rice Burgers and normal burgers. The Rice Burgers didn't taste nice because it has rice at the bun. The normal burger was good because it had actual buns and lettuce. The rice was soggy and the patty was greasy. The colour was white because of the rice. It tasted like Rice and Meat Pattie. It smelt like Lettuce and Meat.
