This semester for art we are going to be making murals about Hornby. To create the murals we need to use painting techniques to make it the best it can be. Since we started we have been drawing, painting, and learning new techniques. Some techniques we used were stencils, layering, texturing, and more.

SCIENCE WITH KYRA-LEE

This week in science, we are learning about Circuits and the different types of circuits: A circuit is a complete loop of electricity flowing around ending &  starting at a power source. There are two main types of circuits; a parallel circuit and a series circuit. 

Example of a parallel circuit and a series circuit involving 2 batteries, 2 bulbs, and a switch:

Parallel circuit-

Series circuit-

                                

What is voltage?

- A volt is the amount of energy in the circuit. The volts can be measured using a voltmeter. In a series, the volts are shared with all the components, but in a parallel circuit, the voltage is the same everywhere.

An example of voltage in a series-

An example of a voltage in a parallel circuit-

What is current?

- Energy is measured in amps. A current shows how many amps are flowing in a circuit. We can measure the number of amps in a circuit by using an ammeter. The current in a series is the same everywhere but in a parallel circuit, the current is divided between the components.

Example with a series-

Healthy Muffins

Texas "Makeover" Muffins

Ingredients

1/2 Cup Wholemeal flour

1/2 Cup white flour 

2 Tbsp Brown Sugar

2 Mashed bananas

1/4 Cup Unsweetened low fat yoghurt 

2 Tbsp Canola oil 

1 Egg

1 Tsp Baking Powder

1/4 Cup Chocolate Chips

Method
1. Heat oven on 180c on fan bake
2. Mix all the wet ingredients ( Banana, Yoghurt, Oil, Egg.)
3. Sift and mix all the dry ingredients ( Wholemeal Flour, White four, Brown Sugar, Baking powder, Chocolate chips.)
4. Mix the wet and dry ingredients
5. Spoon the batter halfway up your tray and bake for approximately 15 minutes, or when cooked through and browned.

Birth Name: Wladziu Valentino Liberace 
Birthday: May 16, 1919
Nationality: American

Height: 1.78m
Cause Of Death: Pneumonia
Death: February 4, 1987

Sergei Rachmaninoff:
Birth Name: Sergei Vasilyevich Rachmaninov

Science

Aim: To separate a solute from a solvent in a solution using distillation

Method: 1. set up the equipment as shown in the diagram

2. Add approximately50 m of water and a few drops of food coloring to your conical flask

3. light your bunsen burner Open the air hole and gently push the bunsen burner under the tripod

4. Heat the solution until most of the solvent has been evaporated. Turn your bunsen burner off

= We are using coca cola instead of salt water

Discussion: when we heated up the solution the gas from the coca cola it went up the tube then condensing back to liquid. if we had more time to finish it we would have seen how the solution was in the test tube and the sugar left in the conical.

Making A Dilution Series

Aim: To make a dilution series to investigate the concentration

Equipment: A potassium permanganate crystal, six large test tubes, tweezers, a plastic transfer pipette, a test tube rack, 10ml measuring cylinder

Method:
1. Place the six test tubes in a test rack. Label the rack with numbers 1-6
2.  Using the measuring cylinder, fill the test tube 1 with 10 ml of water. Fill the remaining test tubes with 5ml of water
3. Using your tweezers, add a single crystal of potassium permanganate to test tube 1
4. Gently shake the test tube until the crystal has dissolved
5. Using the transfer pipette, carefully remove exactly 5ml from the test tube 1 and pour in into test tube 2
6. Rinse the transfer pipette again and repeat the transfer process for test tube 4, 5 and 6
Results:

Discussion - The solute which is the crystal and the solvent which was the liquids leads to the solution

Solute: The Solid
Solvent: The Liquid
Solution: The Two Things Added Together
Soluble: The Substances Cant Dissolve

-The color goes lighter
