Filtration

LO1: Design and carry out an experiment

LO2: Explain separation via filtration

Experiment:

-Separate mud from water

-Use only equipment provided in ice cream container

-Record progress on Blog, include notes, changed, photos etc

-Change the design, learn from each trial

Materials:

• Paper towels
• 1 bottle
• 2 plastic cups
• 1 thread of string
• Cup of muddy water
• Cotton balls
• Cloth (Kind of a t-shirt texture)

Steps:

1. Get all your materials ready
2. Take the lid off the bottle
3. Cut the bottom part of your bottle
4. Take your paper towels and carefully put them inside the bottle
5. Take your cotton balls and also put them inside the bottle (Leave 1 cotton ball for later)
6. Take the leftover cotton ball and put it inside the nozzle
7. Take your piece of cloth and put it on top of the hole you made at the bottom of the bottle
8. Push your cloth inside deep enough so that the water wouldn't spill out
9. Get your string and tie it around the cloth and the bottle
10. Pour your cup of muddy water in carefully
11. Wait for the results

Finished project

Observation/Conclusion: 

Our design worked well because the water we purified is clear, and it doesn't have huge bits of dirt in it.

Everything went well, except the colour of the water after it has been purified. My team worked okay together and there wasn't any fights or anything. 

I think our water is clear because of how many stages it went through, it went through 4 stages. It first went through the cloth (Catches all the unwanted dirt), it then went through the cotton balls (Purifies the water), it also went through the paper towels (Also purifies the water) and it finally goes through the last stage, the cotton ball.

The paper towels, cloth, cotton balls and string (helped tie the cloth onto the bottle) were very helpful. They all helped re-filter and make our design.

My team modified our design by taking out the cotton balls. This made the water drip quicker. This is because the paper towel has turned from dry to wet.

Whenever we re-filter our water, we change the paper towels. We do this so that the excess water that the paper towel has absorbed wouldn't get mixed with the water we are about to re-filter.

Aim:

Even though it is clear, the water still has a yellow colour to it, it does not look like drinking water. I looked closely at our purified water and noticed that there are still tiny bits of dirt in it. So my group's aim is to make our water clearer and cleaner. 

This may lead us to change our design and try out something else.

Review on Practical of Bread Cases

Knife Safety: Pointy end down and, walking and being sensible. NEVER try to catch a falling knife and never run with one.

Washcloths: We need to put the tea towels, hand towels and washcloths in the laundry so that it is ready to be cleaned. After doing so we need to re-stack the drawer with new tea towels, hand towels and washcloths.

Spray wipe: Before we cook anything we have to spray and wipe the tables and once we have finished cooking we need to spray and wipe our tables again.

Recycling tray: We put all the food scraps we have in the recycling tray and throw them out in the rubbish bin, the recyclings trays are then cleaned after class is over.

Water: We need to leave the water we use for cleaning, in the sink until all cooking is over. This is so that we don't need to keep re-filling the sink with water when there are dishes that need to be cleaned.

What could my team do better next time? At least two examples.

I think my team could work on improving our teamwork. Sometimes someone wouldn't do that much things and will leave the work to the other 3 people. 

Notes: 

Each person has a different job.

Try not to panic when we feel like we are falling behind.

Mindmup (Drama/Music)

Task 2

Mindmup:

Paragraph: 
The lighting crew are expected to check the perimeters of the lights and the colours it changes too. There are also people that need to check the sound system like the microphones. The costume designers need to create the costumes and get all the costume ready before the actors arrive in 1 hour, they also have to check all the costumes before the actors go out to perform. Once the actors get to the theatre they have a voice and physical warm up, they then have to go to their dressing rooms to get their make up done and to get in their costumes.


Task 3

Musical Theatre

What does live performance mean?
A live performance could be a performance like a concert or musical.

What could go wrong in a live performance?
The actors could get sick on the day of the performance.
The performers could mess up their scripts.
Props could get broken before the performance starts.

What did you like about this performance? Write more than one point!
I like how they performed with so much energy and how they sang.

Fiddler on the Roof

Teyve the poor Jewish milkman with 5 children, explains the custom of the Jews in the Russian village of Anatevka in 1905, where their lives are as precious as the perch of a fiddler on a roof.
