Filtering

Today we will be testing out to see if two liquids can separate by filtering. Filtering is separating things based on their size. Filtering only works until a certain point, if the particles are the same size they will not separate that is insoluble. Our goal is to make a solution then separate the solution from a precipitate. I think they will separate if they are different sizes but I do not think they will separate if the particles are the same size. The copper liquid is blue and there is a colourless liquid we will be mixing together. The method we will be doing is filtering the two different liquids from a funnel separated by a filter paper into the conical flask. When we mixed the sodium carbonate and copper sulfate together it became a brighter blue. We were able to separate it because the blue was the solid. They were different sizes so the experiment was successful. When we put the filter paper into the funnel and poured our solution in the blue was separated from the clear liquid. The clear liquid was pouring out from the filter while the blue was staying inside the filter. I think the blue separated from the clear liquid because they were different sizes and because of the filter paper separates different sized particles. Our colourless liquid became sodium sulfate and the blue precipitate became the opposite liquid. The Blue became a thick consistency. 

Why Jacinda Ardern is a good influential leader

 Jacinda Ardern is a good influential leader

Jacinda Ardern. Jacinda Ardern is a good influential leader. When we talk about New Zealand the whole world thinks of how Jacinda Ardern went through a global pandemic and how our country is one of the safest countries these days. Jacinda Ardern has earnt the title of youngest prime minister and third female prime minister of New Zealand. She got into politics at only seventeen years old. Her great leadership skills have made New Zealand a country the world would never forget. 

As the youngest female politician and third female prime minister of New Zealand it proves that women can be just as good as men and age is just a number. Jacinda Ardern said “All the things left to achieve is gender equality, at the top of my list.” Being so young working with politics and having an idea of what she wants to do with this country shows she is right for the influential role. With many years of politics she knows how to do things the right way. This can inspire the young women of this generation to make this country a better place; put their mark on this country. 

Jacinda Ardern stands for many things. Her values show that a country is not I, a country is we. Whenever our prime minister speaks for the country she always says we are not I am. I think that is an important skill for all leaders to have. Stepping out of traditions in her religion shows how determined she is for gender equality. Her religion was against what she wanted to make a change with. 

One of Jacinda Ardern's greatest leadership achievements is getting a whole country through a global pandemic. 5 million New Zealand citizens were told to change their everyday activities, stay home and be extra careful in what they do. It turns out that 5 million New Zealanders can actually make a difference in this world. Till this day New Zealand is one of a few countries where you can have meetings and see your family and friends. If Jacinda Ardern did not act this fast we would be still under the restrictions of all the other countries facing oxygen loss and hospital overcrowding. This is all because of Jacinda Ardern's knowledge and quick action with the COVID-19 pandemic.  

Now Jacinda Ardern will be known in history as the good leader; the influential leader of New Zealand and the one that saved many lives. Jacinda Ardern is a true influential leader to many. But most of all she helped us become the country we are today. That is why Jacinda Ardern is a good influential leader. 

Shark infested custard

 Shark infested custard. Shark infested custard is a hula-hoop game we had a team of 5 but you were supposed to have a team of 6. We did very good verbal communication skills to make it to the other end of the court. Planing a strategy before we started helped us a lot because otherwise it would all be over complicated for no reason. Balance was also key other wise we would have of lost. Today I worked not as good with my team today because we were a bit unfocused because of the weather. If we were to do this game again we should have planned better. Today most of us demonstrated fair play and use interpersonal skills mostly properly. 

Reflection on the cup game

Cup Game. A few days ago we played a game with cups we had string and a rubber band. It was an interpersonal skills game. We used non-verbal and verbal communication for this activity. We had a group of four and split the table in half and try to figure out how to bring a cup one by one to the other table. Our team was disqualified because one person did not participate but we did brought all the cups over within <20 seconds.  

• Who did you work with that went well today? 

• I worked well with Lauren.

• If you were to do it again, how would you do it differently?

• Probably would do more communication and get everyone to help.

• What level of Helisons behaviour model were you working at in this activity and provide examples of this

• We worked at level 2 because not everyone was participating but we ended up completing the activity.

Year 9 Maths

So far this year we have been learning many things, this past week we have been learning area all though I learnt it in year 7/8. It is pretty simple you only need to know how to do multiplication. For the answer for a simple square you would just have to times the length x width then add the units squared. Units can be cm, m, mm ect..  An area is the inside of a 2d shape. Volume is the inside of a 3d shape.  One of the only shapes that doesn't really have a perimeter is a circle you would call the perimeter of a circle a circumference. I would like to learn some more complicated maths and some algebra.
