Creative Writing Reflection

Finally having completed the English tasks we then come to the conclusion, the reflection. So far in English I have learned a few language features, such as anaphora as well as learning about what a slam poetry is. I have enjoyed creating poems, Haiku poems, I find them quite enjoyable. I have come across Haiku poetry several years a go but do still enjoy it as much as I did. I find that planning and putting a deeper meaning into words gives me much delight. How meaning can be given in a few words is astonishing. Another task--activity-- that I have enjoyed much also is creating the similes and metaphors. Although they themselves are quite basic how each can be subtly used amused me. One of the phrases that I made was "Christopher Columbus found the Earth was round? Such fraud! He believed the Earth was shaped like a pear and had a supple nipple!". I found it quite hilarious--but still very true. 

Having learnt of such it has made me appreciate good story writing. A way of writing where you are consumed and enamored. Being creative with how phrases are written, how words relate with each other. Knowing how using such words, a collection of words can affect the audience. Excited is how I feel about progressing more into literature and being able to learn and read more of great writing.

Eperiments- Dissolving: Hurrumanu 4

Template for a scientific report 

In Science, whenever we do an experiment we will blog it. The way that we blog an experiment is in the form of a scientific report.

Aim: To find out and see if salt or baking soda dissolve more.

Hypothesis: My hypothesis is that baking soda will dissolve less and will saturate the water much quicker as it is more finely that the salt, therefore, the salt will dissolve more on a faster rate.

Equipment: The equipment that we will be using for this experiment are: 250ml beaker,  100ml measuring cylinder, salt, baking soda, a stirring road, a teaspoon and a ruler.

Method: The following steps are what we will take for this experiment to work:

1. We fill our beaker with 100ml of tap water.
2. After the beaker has been filled, we then add a level teaspoon of our baking soda. A level teaspoon can be achieved by taking a teaspoon of the baking soda and a ruler is then run across its edge.
3. The solution that we have mixed is then stirred, keep the rotation going until all of the baking soda has vanished and dissolved.
4. Steps 2 and 3 are then repeated, it is only after that our solution has saturated and no more baking soda can be added.
5. The number of teaspoons of baking soda is then recorded.
6. The process that we have taken is then repeated for the salt as well.

Results: What did you observe? Either a picture or table of data.

Solute:	Salt	Baking Soda
Number of scoops (science spatula) till saturated:	20	11

Discussion: What do your results mean? Explain your results.

The number of scoops that we incorporated with our water and our solutes; saturating the water with salt was our first experiment and the first observation. The following was the Baking soda which dissolved less and saturated our liquid much slower. The number of scoops of salt that we were able to dissolve in our liquid was 20 scoops--science spatula--instead of a teaspoon; the number of scoops again with the same spatula was much less--11. In the experiment, we have observed that salt was much less fine than the baking soda; which is more chalky and more of a powder texture. It caused the water molecules to be filled up at a much faster rate, and that is why it requires less baking soda for the water to be saturated rather than the salt.

Conclusion: Did your experiment work? Was your hypothesis correct?

In conclusion, salt which somehow dissolves at a faster rate has a better or is better at solubility, it dissolves better than baking soda. We observed and conclude from this experiment that salt dissolves better than baking soda, making our hypothesis correct. Which stated that baking soda will dissolve less.

Conclusion:

I thought it would be a black crystal but it was bright blue and needed a couple of days to form but a very successful experiment!

Business Entreprising: Business people - John D Rockeffeller

In our Business Enterprise class we started to look at different entrepreneurs throughout time.  We searched for and looked at several entrepreneurs and started to write about them. I chose to write about John D Rockefeller; the wealthiest American ever, I wrote why he was an entrepreneur, and how he became one. What qualities that he had to be an entrepreneur; here is what I wrote about him.

My Bio-Poem

This week for teachers to learn more about us, we were tasked to make a Bio-Poe which is simply a poem introducing and giving information about ourselves. We had to make a poem at first which would be a draft for the final work that we later do. We were given guidelines on which topic we should be putting in our poem. After the guidelines were followed and 'answered'; which meant the completion of our first draft. The first draft was then reviewed by our supervisor-- a teacher-- and we then progressed into making our final draft or our final work.

Here it is!:
