Hauroa - Taha Tinana Experiment!

Planning:

Aim:

I want to find out: 

How can I make bread fresher for longer?

Equipment:

- 1 piece of white and brown bread
- 2 trays
- 2 plates
- Foil
- Water
- Honey
- Salt and Pepper
- Safety Glasses
- Gloves
- Tongs

Method:

1. Get both of the trays.
2. Fill them with cold water half way.
3. Now start poring the honey all over the brown bread.
4. Then put the salt and pepper all over the white bread.
5. Cover both of the bread's with foil.
6. Put both of the bread's in to the water.
7. Leave them there for a week.
8. Take a look at it and make sure there are no mould on both of the bread's.
9. Roll up your sleeves.
10. Put on your safety glasses.
11. Put on some gloves.
12. Get a pair of tongs.
13. Pick up both of the bread's with the tongs.
14. Put them on 2 separate plates.
15. Take off the foil.
16. If they're are still no mould on it then you have improved.
17. And that is the end of our experiment.

After A Day:

After A Week!

If you touch these 2 breads, the white bread feels bouncy and the brown bread feels soft. They both look the same except that the salt and pepper has faded away from the white bread, and the honey from the brown bread has faded away as well.

Conclusion: 

I found out that mould doesn't grow on bread as long as it is in water.

Discussion:

Why did we cover the bread with foil?

Because putting bread in the water over a week will easily grow mould on it so, if the bread was covered with foil in the water then there would be no oxygen for the bacteria to grow mould on the bread.

My Kete Choice Activitie

This is one of the kete choice I have done.

I chose to create a story on a topic of my choice. The tool that I have used was Piktochart.

This story is called: "That Someone" it is about sisters that were living in a orphanage. A sweet couple raised them and looked after them. But one tragic moment will bring you down to tears.

I Hope You Enjoyed It!

How to be safe in Science!

Planning

Aim: I want to find out how to be safe in Science. 

Equipment: 
- Bucket
- Water
- Detergent
- Tube
- Gas
- Safety Glasses
- Lighter

Method:
1. Get a bucket.
2. Put a squirt of detergent.
3. Fill half the bucket with cold water.
4. Take your loose clothing off, pull your sleeves up, if you got long hair - tie it up.
5. Connect a tube to the gas tap, and put the other end into the water.
6. Turn on the gas and make some bubbles!
7. Wet your hands and wrist up to your elbows.
8. Put on safety glasses and get a scoop of bubbles 
9. Hold the bubbles away from your face.

10. Using a lighter, ignite the bottom of the bubbles.
11. Slowly, open your hands.

Doing

One of my friends set her hands on fire. 
This is what happened:

When the fire was on her hands, it looked like a bright, orange, mini explosion.
As you can see in the photo down below my friend, Sophie, was terrified and her jaw dropped.
When the fire faded away, in the air there was a hoop of gray smoke. But that also faded away.
But honestly, the worst part is the smell. It smelled like rotten gas that hasn't been used in years. 


  








Explaining

My observation is, why didn't I wanna get my hands set on fire? The reason I didn't want to do it is because, I was scared if it would burn me and I knew that I would panic way to much. So I asked Sophie, how did she felt when the fire was on her hands? She said that it didn't hurt but, she felt heat on her skin like your warming your hands near a fire. I felt a bit jealous for not taking a try but I'm happy that I learned and saw this experiment.

Adventure Time in Orana Wild Life Park!

On Monday the 7th of August,

The year 7/8's went for a trip to Orana Wild Life Park.

When we arrived there, we got put into groups. One of the people that worked at Orana Park, Sarah, was showing us some of the animals in Orana Park. She would also gather us together and tell us some facts about the animals we saw. There were Cheetahs, Gorillas, Giraffes, Rhinos, Tigers, Lions and so much more!

Hope You Enjoyed :)
