Volcano Project.

 Aim: to make and erupt a volcano via chemical reaction.

Hypothesis: I think the volcano will erupt when we mix the chemicals.

Equipment: Our Volcano, Baking soda, vinegar, food colouring, dish washinghjuj  liquid 

Method: Make a volcano, paint the volcano, make the volcano erupt, clean up after.

• warm water
• liquid dishwashing detergent
• red or orange food colouring
• baking soda
• vinegar

1. Pour warm water into the volcano until it is 1/2 to 3/4 of the way full.
2. Add several drops of food colouring.
3. Add a squirt of detergent. This helps the ‘lava’ foam up and flow.
4. Add a couple of spoonfuls of baking soda.
5. When you are ready to start the eruption, pour vinegar into your volcano.
6. You can recharge the volcano with more baking soda and vinegar.

Note: If you don’t have vinegar, you can use another acidic liquid, like lemon juice or orange juice.

the hydrogen ions in the vinegar react with the sodium and bicarbonate ions in the baking soda. the chemicals release carbon dioxide. This makes the reaction bubble and expand, just like when you shake up a can of soda and open it!

Banking key works

 In business studies we are learning about banking. in today's lesson our teacher let us choose what DLO we wanted to do, I chose to make a crossword with the key words about banking and the clues I used should have shown my understanding of the words.

I did really like this activity as it gave a more creative side to learning about banking. And because it was a crossword it is also interactive so my class mates could give my crossword a go to test their knowledge too.

If you have any questions or feedback please let me know:)

Writing SEXXYY paragraphs

 LO: learning to write SEXXYY paragraphs. 

Essay question: ‘Describe an incident which changes the course of events in the text. Explain how this helped you to understand an important idea in the text’

Statement	Example/Evidence (include a quote)	EXplain quote	EXplain Effect on the Reader	Your link -- to another part of the text	Your link -- to the wider world
The incident of Binta being killed by Saran helped me to understand the important idea of How much hate saran really had towards the maji because it showed me that Saran was willing to kill his daughters best friend just because she was a magi.	We see this in the text when King Saran gets Binta to touch the scroll so he can see if she has magic in her or not. When Bintas hands filled with light from magic Saran just smashed his sword right through her with not even the slightest amount of remorse  for her. ‘Father strikes fast. One minute Binta stands, in the next fathers sward plunges through her chest’	This means that… Clearly we can tell in the quote that Amaris father, king Saran kills Binta because light exploded from bintas hands when she touched the scroll, magic.	This made the reader feel upset or scared for Amari and Binta because King Saran is capable of taking someone's life so fast over magic.	It reminded me of another important part in the book when King Saran carved maggot into zelies back with no remorse for how she is feeling and her screams because this also shows the idea of hatred towards magi as zelie was a magi too.	In the real world, this idea is important because we see this in the real world everyday but mainly in america at the moment with everything going on with racism and the BLM movement with police brutality.
