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.

Nachos Home Economics

Today in Home Economics, this time we made Nachos. In our Nachos we had peas, corn, beans, mushroom and corn chips. My group did a little better working together but its still a work in progress. The taste result was better and I enjoyed every bit. Overall, today's cooking lesson was good, and cant wait for many more to come.

Ingredients:

- Oil

- Mushrooms

- Onion

- Corn

- Beans

- Tomatoes (CHOPPED)

- Corn chips

- Grated cheese

Cooking Method:

1. Gather equipment & ingredients in correct amounts.
Reheat the grill to high.

2. Slice mushrooms

3. In a large non-stick pan:
Saute onion with a 1T of Oil for 2-3 mins (until clear)

4. To the pan add:
Corn, beans, 1/2 can of tomatoes, 1/2 can of beans
Stir, for 3-4 minutes until tomato is just softened

5. Arrange a large handful of corn chips around a plate
Spoon the bean mixture into the middle of the plate
Sprinkle cheese on top, place under the grill to melt

6. Remove from oven with gloves
Serve with sour cream (Optional)

There were no pictures of our dish, so here is a photo similar to what our dish looked like.

Potato Frittata

For this weeks practical lesson we made potato fritters! During this lesson we had someone new to our group, and there was lots of great communication and great team work. In the end we got the meal finished. Overall this was one of my many favourite practical lesson and it was a lot of fun.

Chicken Stir Fry

Today's practical lesson we were making chicken stir-fry. My team worked really well for this practical and we got the dish made quickly. The end result was delicious and it had a very rich flavor. Altogether it was a really fun practical and next time I would go crazy on the sauces. 

CHICKEN STIR FRY -
2 pieces of chicken
2 tablespoons of soy sauce
