Home Economics Jam Drops

This week in Home Economics we cooked Jam Drops. 

Ingredients: Flour, Sugar, Eggs, Jam, Vanilla Essence.

1. First we preheated the oven to 180 degrees fan bake.

2. Then we made the mixture and rolled them up into little balls.

3. After that we pushed our thumb into the little balls.

4. Finally we put them in the oven for about 15 minutes.

When they came out of the oven we put them on the heating rack and waited for them to cool down before we gave them a taste test.

P.E Work

In P.E I worked at level 2 yesterday because I had my gear and I participated in everything.

Novel Study

Chapter 3 – Amari
“I am afraid not, Your Highness. I saw it with my own eyes. Their magic was weak, but it was there.”
Skies…
What does this mean for us? What shall happen to the monarchy? Are the maji already planning an attack? Will we have any chance of fighting back?
Memories of Father before the Raid play in my head, a paranoid man with grinding teeth and forever graying hair. The man who forced Inan and me into the palace cellar, placing swords in our hands though we were far too young and weak to lift them.
The maji will come for you, he warned. The same words every time he forced us to spar. When they do, you must be prepared.
This could be compared to Harry Potter because they both have magic

In the holidays I used a Phone for electricity. Phones use electricity because they need to connect to the internet and the screens need electricity.

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.
