Acid Rain

Acid Rain

How it forms-

When fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas are burned, oxides of carbon, sulphur and nitrogen escape into the air. These molecules dissolve in the water in the clouds and make rain water more acidic than normal. When this happens, "Its called acid rain".

Experiment- 

universal indicator - makes things change colour. ( yellow to red)

Bromothynol blue - changes colour. (blue to green/yellow)

flower -  went hard

calcium carbonate - went crusty.

apple - went hard.

we set up all our thing in a petre dish and set up a little way boat in the middle and we put the lid on and waited to see what the acids could do to the ingredients, they changed colour.

Digestive System 1

Digestive System 

Oesophagus

 What is it used for?

The oesophagus is a tube that connects the throat and the stomach.

Where do you find it?

Throat

How does it work?

As a person swallows, food moves from the mouth to the throat

Weird Examples - A Giraffe has a very long oesophagus

Small Intestine 

What is it used for? For all your food to come to form into a poo. 
Where do you find it? The bottom of your stomach. 
How does it work? The small intestine, or small bowel, is a hollow tube about 20 feet long that runs from the stomach to the beginning of the large intestine. The small intestine breaks down food from the stomach and absorbs much of the nutrients from the food.

large Intestine 

What is it used for? The major function of the large intestine is to absorb water from the remaining indigestible food matter and transmit the useless waste material from the body.
Where do you find it? Around the small intestine .
How does it work? Its job is to absorb most of the nutrients from what we eat and drink. Velvety tissue lines the small intestine, which is divided into the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. The large intestine (colon or large bowel) is about 5 feet long and about 3 inches in diameter.

Liver

What is it used for? The liver's main job is to filter the blood coming from the digestive tract, before passing it to the rest of the body.

Where do you find it? Above your stomach and inside of you.

Hunt For The Wilder People (HFTWP)

In English we are learning about three different film techniques using the film Hunt For The Wilder People directed by Taika Waititi. The three film techniques that i'm looking for in the relationship between Kahu and Ricky is Dialogue, Acting/Facials and Music. I really like the contrast between Kahu and Ricky because dialogue, acting and music is used energetically throughout the scene.

Human Rights Seel Paragraph

Human Rights

Seel Paragraph

Human rights include civil and political rights such as the right to life and liberty, freedom of expression, equality before the law and the right to be free from discrimination.

This means they have a right which is believed to belong to every person.

For example  Harassment – inappropriate jokes, insults, name-calling is not a good way for freedom and expression.

By not being allowed to do all those things, people are still allowed to be protected by the law/rights.
