Gallipoli

Gallipoli Campaign
The Gallipoli Campaign is a campaign that took place from 19 Feb 1915 to 9 Jan 1916. The purpose of the Gallipoli campaign was to make an opening through Dardanelles for Allied Ships to come through and capture the Capital of the Ottoman Empire, Constantinople. Their goal also included completely throwing the Ottoman Empire out of the war. The campaign went on for 8 months, resulting in the Ottoman Empire winning. 

Heating Zinc Oxide

Aim: Is to see what change happens when we heat Zinc Oxide?

Equipment: Bunsen Burner, Heat mat, tripod, safety Glasses, Crucible, Crucible Holder and Zinc Oxide

Results/Observation: The Zinc Oxide was white in the beginning when cool but as it heated up the Zinc started to unfold a yellow-ish green colour but as it cooled back down the Zinc had returned to its original white colour.

Discussion: When heated, the Electrons in Zinc move to other Levels, making it change colour.

Spirituals

Spirituals were songs that slaves would use to communicate & send messages to each other. Sometimes these songs were used to give directions to other slaves for an escape route. The Most known escape route was the Underground Railroad. The person famous for operating theses Railroads and freeing slaves from the Slave states was Harriet Tubman. Tubman was an American Political activist and made approximately 13 missions to go back to the enslaved states and rescue up to 70 slaves. Most of them family and friends, she used the network of safe houses and antislavery activists known as the Underground Railroads. The slaves would use spirituals such as an iconic spiritual named Wade in the Water. The message from the verse and obviously its name Wade in the Water was a message for the slaves so if they ever wanted to escape, escape through Wading in Water as it was hard for trackers to find run away slaves as the scent of the slaves would rinse right off them. These events still effect today's society such as the BLM movement where people remember times where black people always lived in fear and wanted to change the way the live. Equality and Racism are quite big in today's society still and people will continue to fight for their rights.

Dilution Experiment

Hypothesis: 

. Which test tube is the most Dilute?                                                                                                               . . Which test tube will be the least Dilute?

 Dilution is when there is a weak concentration of an element in a solution/mixture. When there is less compared to the majority.
Concentration: When something is more particles of something in a solution/mixture.

Dilution series:
Aim: To make a dilution series to investigate concentration.
Equipment: A Potassium Permanganate crystal, six large test tubes, tweezers, a plastic transfer pipette, test tube rack, 10 ml measuring cylinder.

Hypothesis: 
Which test tube would be the most dilute? -The test tube that will be the most dilute would be test tube 6. 

Which test tube would be the most concentrated? - The first test tube.

What did you do? - We put the crystals into the first test tube and distributed the liquid to the next. And repeated the process for the other tubes until the water got lighter and lighter and lighter.

Was your hypothesis correct? - Yes, my hypothesis was correct. After distributing 5 ml to every next tube, the last tube ended up being lighter than everything else.

Which was more concentrated and which was the least? - The most concentrated was the first test tube and the least was the sixth test tube.

How do you know? - The solution was distributed between the test tubes, the amount becoming less between the test tube with each distribution.

Filtration Experiment

Aim: To separate a mixture we have made using Filtration 

Hypothesis: I think that they will not separate because they are both liquids and will be hard to separate but I do think that they might separate due to some videos I have watched.'

Observation 

- When we mixed the two liquids together, the mixture turned into a cloudy darker blue, we started seeing tiny pieces of solids form in the liquid and the two liquids became a solid and a liquid. after filtering the mixture separated into a clear liquid and a blue solid.

Conclusion  

- When mixing Copper sulfate and Sodium carbonate together, the Copper and Sodium switch places which turns the two liquids into Copper carbonate and Sodium sulfate, and since Copper carbonate is insoluble, mixing it with Sodium sulfate and then filtering it can cause the two substances to separate from each other. 

Group Performance

 1. What is the name of the song you are doing? The song we have chosen as a group is the Kahoot theme song, the song itself was written by Alf Inge Wang and this is the link that leads to the song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnnUD9-hD8A

2. What is the song about?, I am not sure about what its about but is known as the theme song for the quiz site kahoot.

3. Who is in your group?, in my group there is me of coarse, There is Eugene, Aisa and Tristan. I am on the Piano, Aisa is on the drums, Eugene is on the Electric Guitar and Tristan is on Bass.

4. Which part of the song are you working on first?, we are mainly working on the intro for starters and will slowly work onto the chorus.

5. How do you feel about performing to the class for the first time?, not really that nervous, just being hopeful we finish practice in time.
