Conduction

I science we have been learning about matter and what the keys are today we had to make a stop motion showing how conduction or convection works I chose to do conduction. Conduction is a process of when heat passes through an object and the particles bump into each other.

  


Explanation about the stop motion:
If you keep a metal spoon in a hot pot of something soon the entire spoon gets too hot to touch, and how I showed that was by putting the end of the spoon on top of the fire and with the paper clips it has "wax" on it to keep it put and while the spoon was heating up thus melting the wax and ending it with the paper clips falling; by keeping the spoon over the fire for a long time will lead to the whole spoon heating up.

Middle Ages

What was life like in the middle ages?
The majority of people living during the Middle Ages lived in the country and worked as farmers they were called peasants. Usually there was a local lord who lived in a large house called a manor, or a castle. Local peasants would work the land for the lord. The peasants were called the lord's "villeins", which was like a servant.

The peasants worked hard all year long. They grew crops such as barley, wheat, and oats. They also had
gardens where they grew vegetables and fruits. City life was very different from country life, but it wasn't
much easier. The cities were crowded and dirty. A lot of people worked as craftsmen and were members of
a guild. Young boys would serve as apprentices for seven years learning a craft. Other jobs in the city
included servants, merchants, bakers, doctors, and lawyers.

Life was different for the rich and poor. Rich people like the king & the queen lived in castles, ate lots of food and showered every day. The poor lived on farms and did not have enough food and hardly showered. This was important because this shows how classes were treated in life. The peasants were treated unequally  “He was a very considerable failure as a king”

Hannah HÖch




Hannah HÖch
Hannah Höch, née Anna Therese Johanne Höch, (born November 1, 1889
Hannah Höch was a German Dada artist known for her political photomontages. Made from newspaper clippings and found objects, her work often engaged with the early 20th-century ideal of the “New Woman”—one who challenged the traditional domestic role of females.
Höch’s bold collisions and combinations of fragments of widely circulated images connected her work to the world and captured the rebellious, critical spirit of the interwar period
Höch began her training in 1912 at the School of Applied Arts in Berlin-Charlottenburg, where she studied glass design with Harold Bengen until her work was interrupted by the outbreak of World War I.She went back to Berlin in 1915 and re enrolled at the School of Applied Arts, where she studied painting and graphic design
Höch and Hausmann cut, overlapped, and juxtaposed (usually) photographic fragments in disorienting but meaningful ways to reflect the confusion and chaos of the postwar era.
The artist is most commonly associated with her photomontage cut with a kitchen knife through a beer belly of the weimar republic (1919-1920) which critiqued the male-domnated political apparatus.

Particle Theory

This week we are focusing on particle theory and fusion

Particles:
  • All matter is made up of particles.
  • All particles of one substance are identical
  • The particles of matter are in constant motion
  • Temperature affects the speed at which particles move
  • Particles have forces of attraction between them
  • There are spaces between particles. 

Aim:
Investigate if particles diffuse faster in hot or cold water.
Hypothesis:
I think that the particles will diffuse faster in hot water because I think that when particles are heated they move faster. 

Equipment:
  • 2 containers
  • Potassium Permanganate
  • Hot Water
  • Cold Water
Method:
  1. Fill one container with Hot water and the other with Coldwater.
  1. Add a little bit of Potassium Permanganate
  1. Observe the results

Anzac Biscuits

Today in cooking we got split into groups and were given different recipes of cooking goods, My group had consisted of Emily, Kahciar, Bradyn while we made some delicious Anzac biscuits. We would have worked better but in the end, but everyone did do their assigned jobs, it ended really well and we ended up with some beautifully select Anzac biscuits.

Anzac Biscuits
1/2 cups of Edmonds standard plain flour
1/2 cup sugar
2/3 cup coconut 
3/4  cup rolled oats
50 g butter 
1 Tablespoon golden syrup
1/2 teaspoon Edmonds baking soda
2 tablespoons boiling water


Method
Pre-heat your oven on 180 bake. Mix together the flour, sugar, coconut, and rolled oats. Melt the butter and golden syrup together in a small bowl. Dissolve the baking soda in the boiling water and add it to butter and golden syrup. Fold the butter mixture into the dry ingredients until it is combined. Roll the mix into medium-sized balls and fit them on a lined tray 4x3. place them in the oven for about 12-15 minutes or until it turns a golden brown color.




TASTE EVALUATION  
They had a nice crunchy outside while the inside was soft and chewy. The outside had this sugary coating while the inside had this chewy mix between a sweet coconut and the bitterness of the rolled oats. Overall it tasted amazing and had a great texture. When they cooled down they still have around the same taste but the biscuits were cruncher and colder. They still have an amazing sugary coating and chewy inside. Best ANZAC Biscuit 

ever!



Stake Holder Opinion
"It as a really nice flavour and texture, on the inside as well and the coconut gives it a nice kick to it as well with the oats.'



Summary 
Overall the biscuits turned out really well and it exceeded my expectations and along will my fellow peers; Although my group could have worked and communicated better I was still glad we managed to get our biscuits looking delightful and tasting delightful.
