Chemistry: Effect on Heat

Effect on Heat

Discussion:

Contraction (Imploding Can):

"Contraction" means a process of getting smaller, shorter, or tighter, for example, my hand contracted when I made a fist. How "contraction" was related to the "Imploding Can" experiment was when we placed the "Can" filled by hot on the container with cold water, the hot water, and the cold water "contracted" which causes the "Can" to implode. 

Expansion (Ball in Hoop):

"Expansion" means a something becoming larger or extending, for example, the balloon expanded when I blowed it. How this was was related to the "Ball and Hoop" experiment was when I add hot water in the metal ball, the heat causes it to "expand", if you add cold water, it will get smaller.

Conduction (Dropping pin):

"Conduction" means the heat traveling through a solid, causing it to vibrate more and more, for example, the pan starts to conduct after I heated it up. How this was related to the "Dropping Pin" experiement was when I heated up, using a bunsen burner to the metal rod along with the five pins attached to it, it causes the heat to conduct through the metal rod, which causes the metal rod to vibrate and the five pins to fall down.

Convection in liquid (Permanganate Crystal in Water):

"Convection in liquid" means when the liquid is heated up, they start to become less dense, meaning they aren't close to each other before as like one object.

Convection in gas (Teabag rockets):

"Convection in gas" means when the gas is heated up, it becomes less dense, meaning that they aren't that close to each other before as one object, then rises, when they cool down, they start to move down. How this was related to the "Teabag Rockets" was when we heated up the tea bag, it cause it to burn then rises and starts to fall as it cools. 

Coggle Speech

 Coggle Speech

During Hurumanu 2, we have been doing a brainstorm in coggle about what we are arguing or agreeing of our choice, we have been turning it into a speech.

Here was the brainstorming in coggle, planning, and the result:

Cats better than dogs - DISAGREE

Dogs are better pets than cats because dogs are more loyal and obedient than cats. Dogs make better companions than cats and will always stay by your side and they are always worried and considerate about you. Worried if there might be a danger, unlike cats, dogs will protect you from incoming trouble.

Besides Cats, Dogs can be taught tricks and manners and can sometimes be clinging to their owners and can sometimes be overprotective. Why dogs can make better pets than cats is that dogs have discipline, they have more control of themselves than cats do, apparently, cats are a lot harder to control than they are when it comes to dogs.

Realizing the alert, dogs can sense danger better than cats and can alert their owners if there is danger nearby. Running is one of a dog's favorite things to do,  jog with your dog to stay in shape or play fetch with them and there are more other activities you can do with your dog than there are with cats.

 

Dogs are caring, sensitive, and lovable pets, so if you’re into having a companion with you, a dog is highly recommended, no pet is perfect, so choose a pet you are suited to have.

ICT Semester 1 Summary

ICT Semester 1 Summary

In ICT, I will be reviewing with you what I have been learning in ICT in terms 1 and 2.

Term 1 

During weeks 2 and 3 in Term 1, we have been learning about cyber safety, and one of the ways we have been learning about it is we have been making a Kahoot about it or a blog about it.

In week 4, we have been using a tool called "Word", which is something like Google Docs and one of the features we used in "Word" was copy/paste, spellcheck, heading, and Search/Replace.

During weeks 5-6, we have been learning how to manage our files, move between files and folders, and we have also been learning how to use symbols to replace words.

In weeks 7-11, we have been also using a feature in "Word" called "Drawing", which is similar to google drawings, and we have been using this feature to recreate posters and make basic designs.

Term 2

In Week 1-3, we have been learning how to create and use Tables, Diagrams, Texts boxes, and Columns in "Word".

In Week 4 and 5 we have been using and learning a new app called "Publisher". It is similar to google slide and we have been using it to make calendars and Greeting Cards.

In Week 6-8, we have been learning in an app called "Exel". It is similar to google sheets and one of the features we used in it was the auto sum and graphs.

My Reflection of ICT

"Word"

Personally, "Word" was my favorite out of all of them, it was easy to use since most of the features were like google docs, it was easy to insert images and "Drawing" was my most favorite feature in "Word".

"Publisher"

"Publisher" was a great app, I liked making calendars and inserting images in it, I also like editing the images and for me, Publisher is highly recommended to be used for presentation.

"Excel"

"Exel" was fun to use, it was satisfying to use auto sum and make charts, and despite the fact I don't really know how to use this app, "Exel" and its tools eventually grew on me as I kept using it. 

ICT Term 1&2

I think that ICT was fun, I loved learning new apps and learning its tools and features, my favorite part of ICT is that they also allow us to do some typing lessons as the first 10 minutes, I also loved working with my friends as I was in ICT.

        

The Dropping Pins Experiement

 The Dropping Pin Experiment

During Chemistry, we have been learning about conduction and we have been doing an experiment, we set up a bunsen burner and stuck 5 pins on a metal rod, and set up a time when the pins fall off.

Here are the timers on when the five pins fell off:

1 pin: 4.41 sec 

2 pin: 14.28 sec

3 pin: 27.43 sec

4 pin: 53.88 sec

5 pin: 1:46.26 mins

Explain what happened:

The heat from the bunsen burner conducted/was traveling around the metal rod, which causes the metal rod to vibrate and heated up the vaseline which cause the pins to fall down.
