CIP Activity

In CIP we are doing a colouring-in competition the age we are allowing in is age 5 to 11 because it can relieve stress and some people enjoy it.


Some things we talk about was why we are doing this 

Individual Learning Log

Video	Analysis/ summary thoughts of video
Social:	Meet new people, homeless,$$, make new friends, no privacy, fake stuff, business friends.
Environmental:	Pollution, cut old plant new, litter
Ethical:	You can’t be a robot and go into the Olympics because you would win and get all of the gold metals.
My Brainstorm for an issue I am interested in
Social I’m interested in social because if you didn't have social media and other stuff you would have no way to talk to your friends unless you send them a letter and you will have no way to talk to your parents.

Aim: To learn about flight and aerodynamics. 

4 forces of flight:

1.  gravity  
2.  thrust 
3.  lift 
4.  drag

Paper Plane:

Material:
1. paper
2. glue/ruler/Sellotape

Steps:
1. get paper
2. fold the paper

3.throw the plane

Plane Type	Distance	Behaviour
Normal	4.2m	Straight line
Ailerons	4.4m	straight line
Rudder	1.8m	curved

Conclusion: On my first throw I got 4.2m in a straight line my second shot was 4.4m.

crystals

Aim: To learn about a saturated solution and how to make crystals

Crystal video

Definition of the solution: 

A liquid mixture, when something is dissolved into a liquid (eg: sugar in water) 

Definition of saturated: 

Having or holding as much as can be absorbed of something (when no more sugar or borax can be dissolved into the water)

In groups of three, you will make three different types of crystals and compare the results.

Borax Crystals

Borax Crystals time-lapse video

Ratio; 3 Tablespoons Borax per 1/2 cup water

Materials

1)peg

2)string

3)cups

4)salt

5) sugar

6 borax

7 pipe cleaners

8 stirring sticks

Process

Step 1: shape pipe cleaners into a star shape

Step 2: make up a borax solution

Step 3: hang a star on peg

Step 4: label cup

Step 5: borax in the cup and ad water and steered for 5 or 10 minutes

Step 6: and did the same thing for sugar and salt

Hurumanu - What is that white powder?

WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 2019

Hurumanu - What is that white powder?

Today you will be a Forensic Chemist. 

A bag of white powder has been confiscated by airport customs.  You need to find out what white powder it is?

Aim: To learn about the makeup of different white powders.

There are a number of different white powders in our everyday life. Some of these are harmful and others are not. Test the four white powders listed to see which one has been found at the airport.

Here are some examples of everyday kitchen white powders.

Flour, Cornflour, Sugar, Salt, Baking Soda, Baking Powder, Icing Sugar, Tartaric Acid

Citric Acid, Gluten Free Flour

You will be given a small amount of 4 white powders on your cardboard. On the black cardboard using a magnifying glass look at the powders.

Look at them under your magnifying glass and record what you see. 

These are the four powders we will be using. Upload a photo of each powder. 

1.  Cornflour
2.  Baking Soda
3.  Salt
4.  Sugar 

Before you add the iodine, vinegar or water you will need to divide each powder into 3.

Materials

1.  iodine
2.  water
3.  vinagar
4.  black paper
5.  pepet
6.   
7. 

Steps

1. 
2. 
3. 
4.

6. 

Findings:

	Sugar	Salt	Baking Soda	Cornflour
