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. 

The narritive

 Creative Writing

-  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 

- his whole world shattered, knowing he would never see that place anymore, with regret on his mind he walked out carrying his belonging

Text Title: WITI IHIMAERA

Text Type: short story

Text Creator: Witi Ihimaera

Text Purpose: To entertain and to inform the reader of what's happening in the story

Date: 26th February 2021

This is a story about how people love the reef and how they saw the seahorse. It was a story about a family who lived near the reef that was just outside town. This was where all their relatives and friends went every weekend in summer to dive for kai moana. They obviously loved kai moana and were lucky that the reef was the home of much kai moana - paua, pipi, kina, mussels and many other shellfish. How they cared for the sea animals. When they felt guilty that they poisoned the land and now they feed their poison in the sea water and by doing that they have lost their aroha for the sea. When they realize what they are doing is wrong they feel bad about what they have done to the sea. They apologize to the sea that “We have been unkind to you”.  So this whole short story is basically how the family love and care about the sea because it’s home to them.

Music through time

 Slavery In America was so unbearable and intolerable, that the slaves slave would use music to communicate with each other and also to help them escape.  One song that they used to escape was called " wade in the water". During slavery In America there was a women named Harriet Tubman who was a slave herself, but she managed to escape, once she escaped she kept coming back to the southern states to help others escape from being brutally tortured as a slave. Harriet managed to free 300 slaves. By helping the slaves escape Harriet would lead them into the underground railroad which was not actually a railroad. Harriet used the song " wade in the water" to tell escaping slaves to get off the trail and into the water to make sure the dogs employed by the slavers lost their trail, so basically to prevent them from sniffing the slaves scent. " God's gonna trouble the water" means to agitate ( shake ) the water.
