Dirty Water Experiment - Filtration

Dirty Water Experiment

Aim: To make a filtration plant using household materials

What is filtration?

Filtration is separating solids from liquids by adding a medium through
which only the liquid can pass.

Examples are:

1.  Brewing a coffee
2.  Kidney
3.  Separating dirty from water (Dirty water and a cloth)
4. H.E.P.A (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) Filter (Air conditioner) and vacuum

Materials

1. Paper Filter

1. Sand

1. Pebbles/stone

1. Bottle

1. Scissors

1. Cup

1. Dirty Water

Process - ( use verbs or doing words in each step )

Step 1

Cut the bottle into half to create a funnel and a container shape

Step 2

Put the top half upside down to join them together

STEP 3

Add layers of filter paper then sand then pebbles.
For the filter paper, it will look like a thick-circle shaped piece of paper,
you’re going to need to fold it in quarters and open one slit

STEP 4

Get a cup of dirty water, any liquid you want, your choice but we used
dirty water with ground coffee in it, to experiment with

STEP 5

Pour dirty water into the funnel carefully so it won’t spill

STEP 6

Observe how the water flows now the water has to be not flowing and
if it’s clear (well you don’t really expect it to be clear as actual water so don’t get your expectation high)
then you’re all good to go and you did a great job but if it’s still dirty, maybe you should fix it and try
again

Measurements

Write a short sentence about the water every 1 minute.

Include 'How much water has filtered through', 'How fast it is dripping through', and
'How clear the water is'.

We got the water to drip! It’s not clear though however there wasn’t any dirt to it.
The experiment turned out well I wouldn’t say it was our best work.

I was the one who cut the bottle into half, Rieya did the folding of the filter paper,
Lhysette was in charge of getting the sand, Rieya was in charge of getting the pebbles,
Lhysette was  also in charge of getting the dirty water

As I said you don’t really expect it to be clear as actual water so don’t get your expectation high.  

What I feel:

My group and I are pretty happy with our work but it could’ve been much better if the water was
a little bit clear.

My next steps:

My next step is, placing the layers properly because the water wasn’t clear enough but it’s clean

Group members: Me, Lhysette, Rieya and Shiela

Stop Motion - Angel and Devil

A week ago, we started a module about art and we're doing stop motion, Rieya, Megan and I are in a group and we were asked to brainstorm ideas, I was thinking of an Angel and a Devil story, the three of us decided to do my idea. 

Questions

1. What is your end outcome? I think it will be successful as long as we do what we need to do properly, as long as we work hard and push our limit and as long as we work as a group. 

2. What is a stop motion? Stop motion is where you stop and start your camera repeatedly, stopping the camera to move an object and clicking the camera when you want to take a photo of the object. 

3. What have you done so far to get there? My group and I started to make the storyboard and script.

4. What do you still need to do? I need to finish the storyboard and script.

5. Brief the outline of the story - it's about an angel who was given a blessing by Aphrodite, the goddess of love, but the angel (Angelica's mom) didn't know about it, when the egg hatched, the baby rolls off the clouds and falls into a volcano where an abandoned egg was, it was a devil egg. But then  Angelica's mom took her away. How we did the story: we used our imagination to make it. 

Our Medium: 

Clay, Whiteboard or a toy

My group and I decided to make it in a whiteboard so it'd be easier for us to work on it.

My group members: Rieya, Megan and Skyler (which is me) 

Photo of my script and my storyboard:  

This is the storyboard (I was the one who drew it and I also helped my friend colour it)

Waitangi Day

On Tuesday, we started to get to know Waitangi Day, some people don't celebrate it, probably because they don't know Waitangi Day or they haven't been in New Zealand for so long or They don't really know much about New Zealand's holiday and its history or they don't celebrate it because they don't want to. 

What happened when people celebrate Waitangi Day? Well, I don't really know much about that because people have different opinions about Waitangi Day and the way they celebrate it. But based on what I read on an article that I chose about Waitangi Day is that Waitangi Day celebrations haven't been that peaceful, because of people, they protest and conflict about the Treaty of Waitangi, the article didn't say why they conflict but it was like an explanation why people protests although it's not enough. It says that it's because of the complex nature of the original treaty discussions that the New Zealand Wars followed, and the way people view the relevance of the treaty for the New Zealand Today. 

Why did Waitangi Day happen?  Waitangi Day celebrations happen because it reflects a significant day in New Zealand history. 

When does Waitangi Day happen? It happens or celebrated on the 6th of February.

How it happened? It happened when the British people and Maori's come together.

Where it happened? in, of course, New Zealand but some people go to churched, whares or to Waitangi to celebrate or they go to a restaurant but most people celebrate it at home.

I've worked on answering the questions that are related to Waitangi Day and remembering, understanding, applying and analyzing. 

I've learnt so much about Waitangi Day, how it all came together like how, when where, what, why Waitangi Day is celebrated until today, and its history.

What do I feel about this? I feel really great because I've learnt so much about Waitangi Day and I got to know more about the New Zealand history.
