Chocolate Chip Cookies

Today we made chocolate chip cookies. It went quite well till the very end wen we had to press them down (we didn't) We had to cream the butter but we melted it. They turned out quite well they were crunchy on the outside soft on the inside. Here is the recipe.

The Present

Today we watched a video called the present and we had to answer some questions. Here are the answers and questions.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How would you describe the boy at the start of the video?

He was concentrated on his game and confused when his mum put the box on the table. Then when his mum said it was for him he paused his game and went to open it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What did he think of his present? How do you know? Why did he feel that way?

He didn’t like the dog because he threw the dog away. The dog was missing a leg.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What lesson did the boy learn by the end of the film?

The lesson is to be grateful for what you get and everyone is the same.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why is it important to be grateful for what we have?

Because people might not have the stuff you have.

Health Week 7

In Health we discussed the statement Online relationships are just as important as real life relationships. Some people might think online relationships are better because they might not won't to see people face to face. On the other hand People might like to talk face to face and there could be catfish.  With online relationships you might have a long distance relationship so you need the internet to communicate. In conclusion I think online relationships are just as important as real life relationships.

Filtration

Today in hurumanu we a separating two chemicals. 

Aim: To separate the two chemicals from the mixture we made.

Hypothesis: I think this will work out well and separate.

Equipment: Copper sulphate, conical flask, stirring rod, 200 mL beaker, funner, filter paper

Method: 

1. Pour approximately 50mL of copper sulfate solution into a beaker.

2. Add the same volume of sodium carbonate solution. A reaction will happen, you should see a cloudy blue precipitate form. Called copper carbonate. 

3. Watch demo then fold filter paper to fit inside the funnel

4. Place the funnel with the filter paper inside of it, into the mouth of a conical flask. 

5. Stir the mixture in the beaker, then carefully pour it into the funnel. 

6. Observe what happened.

Observation and discussion: When we mixed the two chemicals together the copper sulphate went a bit

darker. When we put the mixture into the filter the carbonate solution came out.
