we ask questions to understand the meaning of the work and to get help
I am a student at in Uru Mānuka. In 2020 I was a year 9 and in 2021 I will be a year 10. This is a place where I will be able to share my learning with you. Please note....some work won't be edited - just my first drafts, so there may be some surface errors. I would love your feedback, comments, thoughts and ideas.

New Science lab
Aim: to learn how to behave in a science
laboratory.
1. pay attention
2. Act responsibly around dangerous objects
3. Do not run
4. put your bag under your desk
5. No food in the laboratory
6. Do not sniff or taste substances.
- Test tube - used for most experiments using liquids. They have a bung that goes in the top.
- Conical Flask - used for experiments with liquid up to 150 ml. The flask has a rubber bung for the top and the glass is heatproof.
- Glass Stirring rod - A 20cm glass rod used to stir and mix any liquids together.
- Test tube tongs - These are used to hold a hot test tube after an experiment.
- Spatula - For holding very small amounts of chemical powders.
- Funnel
- Measuring Cylinder - this is used to measure liquids for experiments. The liquids will be poured into a beaker or test tube once measured out.
ACIDIFICATION
1. What is happening to the oceans
- it is absorbing more co2.
2. What does this do to shellfish
- it kills the shellfish.

Conclusion:
Title: Water cycle experiment.
Purpose: learn how the water cycle works and how plush in consternates the water.
Materials
-
1x zip-lock plastic Bag’s (A4).
-
Vivid pen.
-
100 ml of soda water.
-
Blue food coloring.
-
Limited paper.
-
Baking soda.
-
Double-sided type 20 cm.
Procedure
1. Draw a picture of the water cycle on the bag.
2. Open the bag and poor 50 ml of soda water in the bag.
3. Put two drops of blue food coloring in the bag.
4. Put one teaspoon of baking soda in the soda water
5. Put the limit paper betwen the zip on the bag.
6. Use 20 cm double sided tape to stick it on the window.
Findings:
The Water Cycle
Acid Water Cycle
Does it cycle?
2 2
Amount of Water
2 2
Acidity
0 2
Key: Water and acidity amount: 0 = none
1 = small
2 = large
Comments:
- The water cycle did cycle, we had high amounts of water and it did not a lot of acid
- The water cycle did cycle, we had high amounts of water and it did have a lot of acid.

1.Electricity
2.Factories
3.Waste
4.Cows
5.Food
