Testing pH

 Aim: 

1. The aim is to test the pH of a range of household chemicals. 

Method: 

1. Add a few drops of each chemical to a spot on your spotting tile. if a substance is solid or powdered you will need to mix it with a few drops of water before testing it. 

2. Test the chemicals with litmus papers. 

3. Test each chemical with a few drops of universal indicator.

Results: 

Chemical being tested	Colour in blue litmus	Colour in red litmus	Colour in Universal indicator
Dish wash liquid	Blue weak base	Red strong acid	Neutral
Floor cleaner	Blue weak base	Blue weak base	Orange weak acid
Spray and wipe	Blue weak base	Blue weak base	Blue weak base
Vinegar	Red strong base	Red strong base	Red strong base

Discussion:

Conclusion: 

Chemical being tested	Acid or base	Evidence from investigation
Dish wash liquid	Neutral	The red and blue litmus stayed the same colour when we mixed.
Floor cleaner	Weak acid	Both red and blue litmus turned blue but when we mixed it with Universal it turned orange.
Spray and wipe	Weak base	Like the floor cleaner, they both turned blue but when we mixed it with universal it turned blue.
Vinegar	Strong acid	Unlike the other ones, this one was both red and when we mixed it with universal it turned yellow.

Beatles song she loves you

She loves you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Sie liebt dich (yeah, yeah, yeah)

She loves you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Sie liebt dich (yeah, yeah, yeah)

She loves you (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Sie liebt dich (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
You think she only loves me
Du glaubst sie liebt nur mich?

I saw her yesterday
Gestern hab' ich sie gesehen

She only thinks of you
Sie denkt ja nur an dich

And you should go to her
Und du solltest zu ihr gehen
Oh yes she loves you
Oh, ja sie liebt dich

It couldn't be more beautiful
Schöner kann es gar nicht sein

Yes she loves you
Ja, sie liebt dich

And you should be happy about that
Und da solltest du dich freuen
You hurt her
Du hast ihr weh getan

She didn't know why
Sie wusste nicht warum

It wasn't your fault
Du warst nicht schuld daran

And didn't turn around
Und drehtest dich nicht um
Oh yes she loves you
Oh, ja sie liebt dich

It couldn't be more beautiful
Schöner kann es gar nicht sein

Yes she loves you
Ja, sie liebt dich

And you should be happy about that
Und da solltest du dich freuen
She loves you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Sie liebt dich (yeah, yeah, yeah)

She loves you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Sie liebt dich (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Because with you alone she can only be happy
Denn mit dir allein kann sie nur glücklich sein
You have to go to her now
Du musst jetzt zu ihr gehen

Apologize to her
Entschuldigst dich bei ihr

Yes, she will understand
Ja, das wird sie verstehen

And then she forgives you
Und dann verzeiht sie dir
Oh yes she loves you
Oh ja sie liebt dich

It couldn't be more beautiful
Schöner kann es gar nicht sein

Yes she loves you
Ja, sie liebt dich

And there you should be happy (uh)
Und da solltest du dich freuen (uh)
She loves you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Sie liebt dich (yeah, yeah, yeah)

She loves you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Sie liebt dich (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Because with you alone she can only be happy
Denn mit dir allein kann sie nur glücklich sein

Because with you alone she can only be happy
Denn mit dir allein kann sie nur glücklich sein

Because with you alone she can only be happy
Denn mit dir allein kann sie nur glücklich sein



The Beatles tell quite a tale in this tidy pop song. Some poor guy thinks he has lost his girl for good, but he's redeemed when he finds out from a friend that she still loves him. There's even a moral at the end of the story: "Pride can hurt you too." Good advice when arguing with a loved one.
This was an instant hit in the UK, but not in America, where it was released on Swan Records, the only US label that would take it. Swan put it out in September 1963, but while The Beatles were huge in their homeland, they were still no big deal in America until February 1964. That's when Beatlemania took hold and "She Loves You" became a US hit.
This popularized the phrase "yeah, yeah, yeah." Paul McCartney's dad wanted them to sing "yes, yes, yes" instead because he thought it sounded more dignified.

Significance of WW1 - The Last Post

when do you hear this song?

ANZAC Day or during an ANZAC event.

Why is this song significant/important to New Zealand?

The Last Post is a bugle call that is usually played before the 1 minute of silence at a commemorative service. The Rouse is a bugle call that is often played after 1 minute of silence at a service.

What is the History behind the Last post - Why was it played and when?

This song has a history behind it as it reminds people of New Zealand's darkest time which was in the war but it also reminds us of the people who helped win the war for our country so it was played to show that the war is over now. We play this song on ANZAC day to show honor to our soldiers that fought in the war. We also play this when someone that was in the war dies out of respect for his services.

What does this song represent?

In military tradition, the Last Post is the bugle call that signifies the end of the day's activities it is also sounded at military funerals, which indicates that the soldier has gone to his final rest and at the commemorative services such as Anzac Day and Remembrance Day. The Last Post is no longer spans just 45 seconds but it is played for 75 seconds, the Last Post is usually ended with a moment of silent prayer. Then it is followed by the notes of Reveille, a soldier's call to begin the new day.

slaver

1. A spiritual is a type of religious song. They were sung in informal gatherings of slaves in praise houses and outdoor meetings called. whilst singing these songs there may have been messages passed through in the lyrics.

They were used to….

Uplift slaves

Give them hope

Church, funerals, and if allowed weddings

And to relay secret messages to help them escape. Like Wade in the water

2.



Harriet Tubman, née Araminta Ross, (born c. 1820, Dorchester County
, Maryland, U.S.—died March 10, 1913, Auburn, New York), American bondwoman who escaped from slavery in the South to become a leading abolitionist before the American Civil War.


The Underground Railroad—the resistance to enslavement through escape and flight, through the end of the Civil War—refers to the efforts of enslaved African Americans to gain their freedom by escaping bondage. Wherever slavery existed, there were efforts to escape.

Chorus: Wade in the Water, wade in the water children.

Wade in the Water. God’s gonna trouble the water.
Who are those children all dressed in Red?
God’s gonna trouble the water.
Must be the ones that Moses led.
God’s gonna trouble the water.

Chorus

Who are those children all dressed in White?
God’s gonna trouble the water.
Must be the ones of the Israelites.
God’s gonna trouble the water.

Chorus

Who are those children all dressed in Blue?
God’s gonna trouble the water.
Must be the ones that made it through.
God’s gonna trouble the water.


Wade in the Water was to tell escaping slaves to get off the trail and into the water to make sure the dogs slavecatchers used couldn't sniff out their trail. People walking through water did not leave a scent trail that dogs could follow.

Today these still links with African Americans and how life are going for them. 

Parihaka Tim Finn and the Herbs

Parihaka by Tim Finn Original Soundtrack



My friend, My friend, I hate to see you suffer,

Events conspire to bring us to our knees,

My friend, my friend, you've taken this the wrong way,

Rise up, defend yourself, never give in,

Look to the sky, the spirit of Te Whiti,

The endless tide is murmuring his name.


I know Te Whiti will never be defeated,

And even at the darkest hour,

His presence will remain.

I'll sing to you the song of Parihaka.


Te Whiti he used the language of the spirit,

Then stood accused, the madman and his dream,

He saw the train go roaring through the tunnel,

He heard the voice travel on the magic wire,

But he loved the silence of the river,

He watched the dog piss on the cannon's wheel.


I know Te Whiti will never be defeated,

And even at the darkest hour,

His presence will remain.

I'll sing to you the song of Parihaka.


One day you'll know the truth,

They can't pull out the roots,

Come and take me home,

To weep for my lost brother.

They gather still, the clouds of Taranaki,

His children's children wearing the white plume,

So take me for the sins of these sad islands,

The wave still breaks on the rock of Rouhotu.

And when you taste the salt that's on your pudding,

And when you taste the sugar in your soup,

Think of Te White, he'll never be defeated,

Even at the darkest hour,

His presence will remain,

I'll sing for you the song of Parihaka,

Come to Parihaka,

Weep for my lost brother,

The spirit of nonviolence,

Has come to fill the silence, Come to Parihaka.


The song tells the story of the Taranaki Parihaka peaceful protests. Finn was given a book on the topic Dick Scott's Ask That Mountain by his sister and told to write a song about it.

Model Atom blog

-Aim to make a model atom 

-Method 

1. Choose an atom to make (one between hydrogen and neon).

2. Work out how many protons, neutrons, and electrons it has.

3. Assign protons and neutrons to a particular colour bead.

4. Get a ball of blue tac and stick the protons and neutrons to this to make your nucleus.

5. Cut out the appropriate electron shells and draw on the electrons with vivid. 

6. Connect the nucleus and electrons and electron shells with a piece of string.

7. Create a label to go above the model so people know what you have created. 

-Results (picture)

-Discussion (explain what you made)

-Atomic + mass number

A3 M7

-Number of protons, electrons, neutrons, 

P3 E3 N4 

-Elections arrangement 

I had 2 on the inside 1 on the outside.   

-2 facts about your atom 

There are three parts to an atom. 

There are over 100 different kinds of atoms.

- Conclusion 

-Did it work? 

it kind of worked but after a day the atoms fell.

-what would you do differently?

next time I would use different sort of materials.
