Sustained Silent Reading

This week's learning: For this week's learning I have been doing my static image. I decided to do the quote "I like pop music, and TV and clothes but I can't have them. They're forbidden." For this quote, I will draw an MP3 player with a dress as a screen, I will also draw musical notes on the background making it look like it's playing music. I have only drawn my plan and haven't gotten to the final drawing just yet.

Sustained Silent Reading

For sustained silent reading, we were told to go on ReadyTheory and do quizzes.

I did one about meteors. It told me that shooting starts are not actually shooting stars, they are meteors. Meteors start as meteoroids. Meteoroids are particles in a solar system that come from comets or asteroids.

I enjoyed doing this quiz because it has thought me something that I did not know before.

Today in English we had free time for a few minutes. We were allowed to do whatever we wanted. We didn't have to read a book, we were allowed to watch, do quizzes, and many more.

I watched the trailer for 'Coco'. Coco is a film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. 

I think if I were to watch the full movie then I would enjoy it because it is mostly about music. I enjoy listening to music, so watching a movie that is mostly about music would be really fun.

I think the target audience would be for people of all ages.

Today in English for sustained silent reading I decided to read some facts. There was this fact that said, "Banging your head against a wall burns 150 calories an hour." I don't know why but I found this funny but interesting at the same time. The purpose of the person that made these facts is to inform people. The target audience would be people of all ages.

Today in English for sustained silent reading, I chose to read a fanfiction book. It's basically a book full of short imagines about your favourite idol. The author's purpose is to entertain the reader. The target audience is young teens.

Diffusion

This is what it looked like before we added the purple crystals in the water.

I think the particles in the hot water were vibrating more so this caused the pigment to spread faster than the pigment in the cold water.

This particles in the cold water were moving a lot slower than the particles in the hot water.

I think the temperature of the water might have something to do with how the pigments and particles move.

Monarchy

Monarchy: A Monarchy is a form of government in which a group, generally family representing a dynasty embodies the country's national identity and its head, the monarch (King/Queen) exercises the role of sovereignty.

Heating Brass Ring and Ball

Yesterdays Experiment:
In yesterdays experiment we heated up a brass ring and ball. We were observing it while we were heating them up to see what would happen to them while they're being heated up.






Observations:
We saw that when we heated up the ring it started turning bronze after a few seconds. This could be because the ring is absorbing the heat of the flames and in some sort of way the heat is having a reaction with the material used to make the ring.


I saw that the ball turned from bronze to purple, but it did not glow red like the ring did. This could be because of the shape of the two things. It could also be because the ball was, well a full sphere and the ring had a hole in the middle of it.




We also noticed that when the ball and ring were put in the water, the water would start boiling and splashing everywhere. We're guessing that the temperature has to be above 100 degrees for the water to start splashing everywhere, so when we put the ball and ring in the water they must've been over 100 degrees. Because when you boil water they go up to 100 degrees but it doesn't pass that number, it also doesn't start splashing everywhere on its own.

We noticed that once it has been fully cooled down the ring and the ball will turn back to its original colour, and the same thing will happen again if you were to heat up and cool it down again.

When the two things have been heated up it was a bit difficult to pull out the ball from inside the ring. This could be because the particles in the brass ball have expanded due to the heat energy from the Bunsen burner. The ring has also expanded, this could be because the particles movements have increased, making the hole in the ring expand more.
