Hurumanu - Science Laboratory introduction

Aim: To learn about the expected behaviour in a science laboratory.

Our R9 Class Treaty

1.    bags under your desk 
2.    no food and drink
3.   no running
4.   don't touch experiments
5.  report any breakage or spills
6.   do not taste or sniff anything

Safety in a laboratory.

teacher   shoes   practical  teacher laboratory   ask  sniff teacher  breakages 

1.   Follow the instructions given to you by the teacher.
2.   You must not enter the laboratory without your shoes.
3.   Report all accidents to your teacher.
4.   You must never eat or drink in a lab.
5.   shoes must be worn at all times.
6.   If you spill something you should tell your teacher immediately.
7.  You should wash your hands after every activity.
8. You should know what you are doing. If in doubt ask your teacher.
9. Never taste or smell chemicals.

In your group, discuss how the following scenarios could be dangerous.

1. Not putting your bag under your desk.  someone can trip
2. Running around in the laboratory. someone can trip
3. Not wearing shoes in a laboratory. you can stub your tow
4. Shaking a test tube with your thumb over its mouth? chemicals could harm your skin

How do we work in this laboratory?

1. Beginning and End of class: Lining up, Entry, Seating, 
2. Equipment tray: equipment list and details.

• Test tube - This is used for experiments using liquids. They have a bung that can be placed in the top. Test tubes sit in a test tube rack.Conical Flask - This is used for experiments with liquid up to 150 ml. The flask has a rubber bung for the top and the glass is heatproof.
• Glass Stirring rod - This is a 20cm glass rod used to stir and mix any liquids together.
• Test tube tongs - These are used to hold a hot test tube after an experiment.
• Spatula - This is for holding very small amounts of chemical powders.
• 
• Funnel - used to channel liquids into a smaller container.
• Measuring Cylinder - This is used to measure liquids for experiments. The liquids will be poured into a beaker or test tube once measured out.

Hurumanu: The Water Cycle

Hurumanu: The Water Cycle

AIM: TO LEARN ABOUT WATER ON EARTH.

Definition:

Scientific words:

• Evaporation. When water is heated by radiant energy it turns into water vapor.
• Transpiration. Evaporation from plants.
• Condensation. When water vapor cools, molecules join together and form clouds.
• Precipitation. When clouds get heavy the waters falls as rain, sleet, hail, or snow.
• Acidification: the action or process of making or becoming acidic.

THE WATER CYCLE SONG

THE WATER CYCLE EXPERIMENT

Bag 1: Normal Water cycle

Bag 2: Water cycle with CO2 added: like Oceans in climate change

Bag 3: Water cycle with ice added: like Antarctica in climate change

Material:

1. plastic bag
2.  water
3. litmus paper 
4. baking soda

Steps

Bag 1

1. Get a ziplock bag and a vivid pen
2. Draw the water cycle (label the parts of the water cycle)
3. Carefully pour 1 cup of cold water
4. Carefully drop 2 drops of blue food colouring
5. Stick the ziplock bag in a window where it receives sunlight.

Bag 2

1. Get a ziplock bag and a vivid pen
2. Draw the water cycle
3. Carefully pour 1 cup of cold water
4. Carefully drop 2 drops of blue food colouring
5. Carefully put 1 teaspoon of baking soda
6. Stick the ziplock bag in a window where it receives sunlight

Two Images:

Findings:

	The Water Cycle: Bag 1	CO2 Water Cycle: Bag 2 Acid
Does it cycle?	2	1
Amount of Water	3	2
Acidity	0	2

Key: Water and acidity amount: 1 = none 

2 = small 

3 = large

Conclusion:

what I learned is new words evaporation condensation and transpiration

ACIDIFICATION: HOW DOES CLIMATE CHANGE CONTRIBUTE TO THE ACIDIFICATION OF OUR OCEANS?

DEFORESTATION

WATER VAPOUR: HOW DOES  WATER VAPOUR AND EVAPORATION CONTRIBUTE TO CLIMATE CHANGE? 

 Hi, guys today we were talking about self-management. In this topic, We talked about how we can manage our learning. She told us to get into a group of two and make a DLO. Something I did that shows that I am a self-manager is I was organized with all my things at the right time. What can I do to be a better self-manager? I can sit alone. Here is our DLO.
