Moving cups challenge

 Cup challenge:

During health we got put into groups and we were given 5 cups, a rubber band and string. We were then told to find a way to move the cups from one table to another, one by one using the string and rubber band while the whole team had to be holding a part of the string. 

What IP skill did you use or show?

I used active listening and listened to my teammates when they gave their ideas.

How did it help with the success or lack of success of the activity?

It helped with the success because we all then knew what to do and could do it better.

Who did you work with that worked well today?

Jaren and Hrishaal.

If you were to do it again what would you do differently?

We would probably get the building done faster so we had more time to practice moving the cups.

Jacinda Ardern Poster

 Recently in social studies we have been learning about a famous leader and making a poster about them.

I have chosen to do Jacinda Ardern for my poster and here is my finished work.

Dirty Water

Aim - To make water dirty and then clean it again Method - Use a 250ml beaker to get 200ml of water. Add 2 spoonfuls of dirt. Add 10ml of oil. Add a spoonful of pebbles. Stir it in for 2mins. Label a piece of paper with your names and place it under your beaker. Take a photo of your experiment.

Aim - To dilute our dirty water Method - Stir your dirty water for 1 minute. Using a measuring cylinder, measure 100ml of your dirty water into another beaker. Add 100ml of water to your dirty water. Stir for 2 minutes. Discard the original 100ml of dirty water. Repeat again. Take a photo of your experiment. 

Discussion - To start with making the water dirty we got some dirt, pebbles, and bark as solutes and then we added it to the water that acted as our solvent. Then to dilute the solution we slowly started to move the water into a clean spot and then put it back in the original place after cleaning it. We then filtered the diluted solution through filtering cloth and filtering paper to clean the water. We ended with water that was pretty clean but not clean enough to drink yet. 

Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela was the first president of South Africa and probably the most famous one since. He also fought for equality in South Africa and was arrested for his protests later in life. After being released from prison he eventually did help topple South Africa's rascial problems. Nelson Mandela was probably one of the biggest black rights activists and had a big influence in changing the segregation in South Africa.
