Mixing dish soap and milk.

Aim:  What will happen if you mix full fat milk and dish washing liquid together?


Hypothisis: Milk and dish soap is like water and oil, it will not mix together. Dish washing liquid is made to clean and erase fat from your dirty and greecy dishes. With that said the dish washing liquid will try to seperate the fat from the milk.


Equitment:

• A wide plate
• A few cottonbuds
• Full fat milk
• Dish washing liquid
• Food coluoring. 

Method:  When we did this experiment we had to do 3 steps.

Step 1, pour the milk into your wide plate until it fills the whole plate.

Step 2, Put drops of different food colours.

Then put some dish washing liquid onto your cotton bud.

Step 3, then dip your cotton bud into the plate.

Observation:

When we dipped the cotton bud into the milk we saw the food colouring move to the side of the plate, as if it was running away from the cotton bud.

Conclusion: This happened because the dish washing liquid separated the fat from the milk, so we saw the milk separating or moving as this was happening.

Onion Cells

Aim:

Finding a clear picture of onion cells?

Hypothesis:

The magnification I think we’ll be able to the onion cells is 40.

Equipment:

• Onion
• A glass slide
• A cover slip
• Tweezers
• A blue stain
• A microscope

Method:

The first thing you need to do is get your pair of tweezers and peel a small amount of onion
skin, you want to peel one layer of onion skin and put it on your microscope slide (if you do
n’t know what it is search it up). After you put your onion skin on your put some saline
water to flatten your skin on your slide. When your done put your blue stain on, then lastly
put your cover slip on so you don’t have to wait for it to dry.

Observation:

At ten times you can still see the outline of the cells. The onion cells look a bit like fly wings
with dots in the middle.

Genomics Fun Day!

Today The team 5 block had a Genomics fun day. Two different schools came to visit us, Glen Innes and Glen Brae. While they were coming in we were singing some school waiata's. When both school's arrived Villiami and Sky did the karakia and mihi. Then we (the pt england students) went back to our classes, Glen Brae and Glen Innes split into groups around the block into each class, then they joined groups that were prepared that same morning.When they split into their groups that they wanted to join,we all had to introduce ourselves. In our group we had five people, Monica,Daliz,Chritina,Me (jordin),Reece and pifeleti. After we introduced and said what inspired us about Genomics we went to the street and Jannie (yani) and Mr Terry asked us questions and we had to jump up and answer it, if we got it right them we get a prize. When it was time for morning tea We got to have sandwiches,cookies,fruit and juice (Raro). When morning tea was finished we had another team quiz and we got asked 15 questions that were on a peice of paper. Someone from our group had to go to the panel ( the judges, that judged the scores and answers) and tell them our group name, And I had to go up,so that when we tell them the answers to the questions they know witch group got it write. Our groups name was Chocolate biscuits. Our team lost because we forgot to take our answers up. When we went into the street for a couple more prizes the two schools left.

How to be a good learner?

Are you a good learner? This essay will explain three different ways to be a good learner.Working Hard,Collaboration and Concentration. Being a good learner is having different personality traits.

Working hard should be something you always do. An example of working hard is, don’t just do your best when something is easy but also do  your best when times are hard, speaking of time while you work you can manage time to finish your work early. The harder and the more you work, the better you can be.
A good learner is a collaber. Collabing can help you with ideas. Collabing is when you and a friend get together and bring up some ideas for your writing. When you collab with someone and get ideas you can put them into words then later into a full essay.

Concentration is being a good learner. When you work a good thing to do is concentrate and to not have any distractions. If you cancetrate you will learn more. For example, if you pay attention and concentrate on the teacher you could actually know what to do when your doing your work.

In conclusion being a good learner require focus. Once you finish university and get a good education, who knows maybe you can be a Teacher in the future or even better, the president of the USA.
