Reflection Section

 This week in textiles, we had started making a project using the techniques we learnt about and also tried out. The four techniques we did were screen printing, batik, tie dying and marbling. For my project I decided to make a scrunchie, because I already know how to make one, and a scrunchie is very useful for girls, so why not!. Our task was to go onto our textiles slides, and research methods and equipment for scrunchie, then write them down on the slides. We had to make sure we had enough details about our method so those who don’t know how to make scrunchies can have a better idea on how to make one, and it would be easier. I choose to use the marbling technique for my project because I feel it's an easier technique, and I love using shaving foam, and then adding dye, it feels so satisfying. So after writing down all the equipment and the method on the slides, I am now ready to start making my project next week! 

Trashing our planet

people need to know that the rubbish that goes into the ocean can kill many sea animals and it can be a pandemic problem. It can also affect us. I think that people should learn to throw their own rubbish in the bin, and there should be consequences if they can't do that. 

Vietnam War

Song title : Edwin Starr - War ( what is it good for?) 

Lyrics

War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again, why'all

War, huh, good god
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing, listen to me

Oh, war, I despise
'Cause it means destruction of innocent lives

War means tears to thousands of mothers eyes
When their sons go to fight
And lose their lives

I said, war, huh good god, why'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing say it again

War, whoa, lord
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing, listen to me

it ain't nothing but a heart-breaker
(War) friend only to the undertaker
Oh, war it's an enemy to all mankind
The point of war blows my mind
War has caused unrest
Within the younger generation
Induction then destruction
Who wants to die, ah, war-huh, good god why'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it, say it, say it
War, huh
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing listen to me

it ain't nothing but a heart breaker
(War) it's got one friend that's the undertaker
Oh, war, has shattered many a young mans dreams
Made him disabled, bitter and mean
Life is much to short and precious
To spend fighting wars these days
War can't give life
It can only take it away

Oh, war, huh good god why'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing say it again

whoa, lord
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing listen to me

it ain't nothing but a heart breaker
(War) friend only to the undertaker
Peace, love and understanding
Tell me, is there no place for them today
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But lord knows there's got to be a better way

Oh, war, huh good god why'all
What is it good for you tell me
Say it, say it, say it, say it

huh good god why'all
What is it good for
Stand up and shout it nothing

Making Salts

 Aim: To produce sodium chloride salt by carrying out a neutralisation reaction.

Equipment: 50 mL and 200 mL beakers, dilute HCI ( hydrochloric acid) , dilute NaOH ( sodium hydroxide) , 25 mL measuring cylinder, a glass stirring rod, spotting tile, Universal indicator solution, tripod, gauze mat, Bunsen burner , evaporating basin. 

                1 : Using the measuring cylinder measure 10 mL of HCI and pour it into your 50 mL beaker. 

2 : Every 10-15 drops stop adding the NaOH and use the glass stirring rod to transfer a drop of the sulfate to a spotting tile. Test its pH using Universal indicator.

3 : Keep adding NaOH and testing the solution by repeating step 2. As you get closer to neutral you may need to test the solution after every drop. 

4 : Pour the neutral solution into an evaporating basin and evaporate the water out of the solution using the equipment set up shown above. 

Beatles

 Perspective FOR

-  The perspective for the people who was for the beatles tour in NZ 1964, who were the youth girls of New Zealand. This was because the beatles songs were basically about love, rock n roll , and sometimes marriage including sexual lyrics, which the youth girls back then became obssessed with.  It was said to be that when the beatles arrived in wellington, their faces were pressed hard against wire fences, screaming themselves hoarse as they caught a glimpse of their musical idols. Youth girls started changing, meaning they started chagning the way they dressed, but dressed inapropritely. 

Perspective AGAINST

- The people who were against the beatles tour were the older generation because they believed it was a bad influence on the youth girls, this was because of the beatles songs how it was all about love and their music was basically inappropriate and the parents of these young youth girls were very worried and concerened about this matter. Parents believed that by the girls being obssessed with the beatles and their music was a sin, meaning they are doing the worng thing and meaning they would eventually go to hell. But a lot of them were against it because of their religion, they saw the the beatles were turing them, changing them and causing them to sin. Older generation even protested, saying " Jesus loves you, do the beatles"? they did this because they never had this happen when growing up, and they genuinley believed the youth girls were sinning.

-  Within seconds it erupted like a volcano, she could feel the heat blowing in her face from far away, a million thoughts running through her mind. 

-  She couldn't help herself but think about what was happening, it was getting dark, having no choice but to see someone walk away from her, her heart dropped and tears started pouring down her face

- They were running at the highest speed their legs had ever carried them, as they were running they keep looking back to see danger coming after them, that was the only way to survive

- Girl was shaking with fear as she she opened the bag and stuffed food in it, looking around to make sure no one was there, still shaking she managed to escape
