American Slave trade Map

Slave trade map

Last week, we learned about the triangular slave and what happened to the people in South Africa who were taken and chained to ships. We started by talking about how Americans treat Americans when they are forced to be taken from their homes and sold into slavery. They were exchanged for goods and chained to each other and to the floorboards of the boats. They are very close and malnutrition causes the death of some of them. They were not released so if they died the people next to them were waiting there with a dead person next to them praying that they did not die there next door. Here is my Slave Triangle map with lots of information on the topic.

Here is the link to see the work that i did on My map

Music was used by slaves to tell stories, keep them motivated and let them know when the path was clear to escape. Dance and music are used in rituals and religious ceremonies.

Here is an example of the African music

Science - model atom

AIM - to make a model atom

1. Choose an atom to make ( between Hydrogen and Neon )
2. Work out how many protons, neutrons and electrons it has.
3. Hydrogen to beryllium use the big beads
4. Born to Neon use the small beads.
5. Assign protons and neutrons to a particular colour bead.
6. Get a ball of blue tac and stick the protons and neutrons to this to make your nucleus.
7. cut out the appropriate electrons shells and draw on the electrons with vivid.
8. connect the nucleus and electron shells with a piece of string.
9. create a label to go above the model so people know what you have created.

Result.

Condensation

Filtration; Solid + liquid 

Evaporation; Liquid ( solid dissolved in liquid ) - solid

Distillation; Liquid ( solid dissolved in liquid ) gas - liquid solid 

What is

- Evaporation; heating a liquid, turns to a gas 

- condensation; cooling down a gas, turn into a liquid.

Aim   to separate a solution from a solvent a solution using distillation

Equipment;  A solution of saltwater, conical flask, heatproof mat, a delivery tube and bung, Bunsen burner, tripod, gauze mat, retort stand, boss head and clam, boiling tube. 

Method;

1.  set up the equipment as shown in the diagram.
2. Add approximately 50 ml of saltwater to your conical flack 
3. Light your Bunsen burner. Open the air hole and gently push the Bunsen burner under the tripod.
4. Heat the solution until most of the solvent has been evaporated. Turn off your Bunsen burner  

 

Mythical Creature

 

Filtration Experiment

1. We made a mixture 

        - copper sulfate

          sodium carbonate 

        

        - copper sulfate = blue see through 

        - sodium carbonate - clear / no colour 

- mixture - blue, cant see through 

we got a paper, and poured the mixture through the paper 

- the liquid made was clear 

there was blue solid on the filter paper.

Solvent - thing doing the dissolving ( liquid )

Solute - thing being dissolving ( solid )

Solution - a mixture that is formed.

Filtration - separates particles based on size

Filtrate - liquid after it has been filtered 

Mixture - 2 or most substances together 

Solubility - Ability to dissolve 

Mixing Dissolving

                                 Mixing + Dissolving  

what is a mixture.

A mixture is a substance made by combining two or more different materials in such a way chemical reaction occurs. A mixture can usually separated back into its original components.

Question

What factors affect dissolving?

solubility is the maximum amount of a substance that will dissolving in a given amount of solvent a specific temperature. there are two direct factors that affect solubility of both solids and gases, but pressure only affects the solubility of gases.

 

Method 

1. 50ml cold water + 1 spatula sugar = mixed 

2. 50ml hot water + 1 spatular sugar = stirred 

3. 50ml not water + 1 spatular sugar = no stirred 

3 50ml cold water + 1 spatular sugar = no stirred  

Result

120 sec	14 sec	27 sec	240 sec
51 sec	25	65 sec	92 sec

37 sec	21	Total. 590	Average 1244
Total. 490	Total. 213	Average 98
Average 70	Average 27

conclusion

when your stir a spoonful of sugar into a glass of water, your are forming a solution. this type of liquid solution is composed of a solid solute, which is the sugar, and a liquid solvent, which is the water. As the sugar molecules spread evenly throughout the water, the sugar dissolving.

Photo Montage - Visual Arts

For the past few weeks in arts, we have been learning about photo montage, although, I didn't finish the blog post on time due to personal things. My inspiration for this is a mixture of aesthetic vibes with a bit of dark and classy kinda digital effects. I've added different kind of elements to make it more appealing to the viewers.

With this, it visualises who I am as a person such as the things I like, what kind of concept I use to make an art piece. 

What is photo montage? A montage is more formal the a collage and is usually based on a theme. It is also used to describe  experimentation in photography and film, in particular.
