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.

Evaporation Experiment
Intro: We have been learning about Evaporation and how do Evaporation work. Evaporation when the liquid turns into a gas.
Aim: To evaporate Copper Sulfate (Blue Liquid). To separate the mixture.
Hypothesis: I think there will be some blue stuff that will be left behind the solution.
Equipment:
- copper sulfate solution
- 250ml beaker
- heatproof mat
- evaporating basin
- element
Method:
1. Set up the element.
2. Add 100ml of hot water to the beaker and place on the element.
3. Add copper sulfate to the evaporating basin until it is quarter full.
4. Carefully, place the evaporating basin on the top of the beaker.
5. Turn the element to 8.
6. Heat the solution most of the solvent has been evaporated and crystals of solute are forming.
7. Turn off the element-careful not to touch as will be hot for a long time.
Observation: The water started boiling, then the steam heat up the copper sulfate then the copper sulfate evaporated and left with crystals
Conclusion: I can see that my hypothesis is correct because it left with blue crystals on the evaporating dish
Discussion: When the water started boiling because of the element, the steam from the water heats up the evaporating dish where the mixture of solvent and solute are. While heating up the dish, the mixture started evaporating, and it left with crystals in the dish.
Distillation Experiment
- coke zero
- conical flask
- heatproof mat
- a delivery tube and bung
- element
- tripod
- gauze mat
- retort stand
- boiling tube
- When the coke(solution) started to boil and it starts to evaporate.
- You can see condensation on the conical flask.
- Evaporated coke went to the delivery tube and now it's white like water, then the delivery tube delivered the liquid to the cold boiling tube.
- The cold boiling tube turns the steam into waters(solvent).
- What left on the conical flask is the sugar.

Hurumanu Chaos: Rats/Kiore
Filtration Experiment
Filtration Experiment:
Aim: To Separate a solution from a precipitate (precipitate is the name for a solid that forms in a liquid during a chemical reaction).
Hypothesis: I think the mixture will be the same even if it's filtered
Method: 1. Pour approximately 50mL of copper sulfate solution into a beaker.
2. Add the same volume of sodium carbonate solution. A reaction will happen, you should see a cloudy blue precipitate form. Called copper carbonate.
3. Watch demo then fold filter paper to fit inside the funnel
4. Place the funnel with the filter paper inside of it, into the mouth of a conical flask.
5. Stir the mixture in the beaker, then carefully pour it into the funnel.
6. Observe what happened.
Equipment:
Sodium carbonate
Copper sulfate
Conical flask
Stirring Rod
200mL Beaker
Funnel
Filter paper

What is a paper crane and what does represent?
The orizuru, or paper crane, is a design that is considered to be the most classic of all Japanese origami. In Japanese culture, it is believed that its wings carry souls up to paradise, and it is a representation of the Japanese red-crowned crane, referred to as the "Honourable Lord Crane" in Japanese culture. Traditionally, it was believed that if one folded 1000 origami cranes, one's wish would come true. It has also become a symbol of hope and healing during challenging times. As a result, it has become popular to fold 1000 cranes (in Japanese, called “senbazuru”).

Science - Respiratory System
- Do 15 min of Quizlet
- Which two gases are the respiratory system trying to move:
INTO THE BODY:
|
Oxygen (O2)
|
OUT OF THE BODY:
|
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
|
|
We breathe because oxygen is needed to burn the fuel [sugars and fatty acids] in our cells to produce energy. Oxygen is brought into the lungs via breathing, where it is transported by red blood cells to the entire body to be used to produce energy.
