Tsunami

We have been learning about Tsunamis and we watched a movie about A tsunami and how they affect the world we watched a movie and it was called the impossible and it took us like 3 periods to watch it and we have just done a pictograph about it and it took me 10 minutes to do it.

We learned about the biggest Tsunami and it was in alaska in 1958 and it was 530 metres tall it was taller than all the famous landmarks.

Evaporation Experiment

We have been learning about Distillation, Evaporation is when liquid turns into vapour (Gases).

Aim: To evaporate Copper sulfate

Hypothesis: I think it is going to turn into vapour (Gas) and I think it might turn transparent.

Equipment:
Gauze mat
Evaporation bowl
Beaker
Element
Copper Sulfate
Warm water

Method:
1. Put warm water in a beaker
2. put it on a gauze mat on the element
3. Put the beaker on the mat
4. Put the copper sulfate in the evaporation dish
5. put the evaporation dish on the beaker
6. Turn the element on 3
7.Turn it up to 5 till you see it boil
8. when it boils have a look and you will see vapour forming and crystals

Observation:
1. I can see bubbles
2. Dropets are forming
3. Its boiling
4. Steam
5. Crystals forming
6. Bubbles forming


Conclusion:
What I saw was there was crystals forming blue and white and the copper sulfate was disappearing into vapour and gases and the water was boiling and I saw that it was steaming and disappearing to.

Serial Dilution

In class on monday Paige and I done a science experiment, We were learning about Dilution and what it does our science experiment was repeated.

Aim: To make a dilution series to investigate concentration.

Equipment:

A potassium permanganate crystal (KMnO4)

six large test tubes

a plastic transfer pipette

a test tube rack 10ml measuring cylinder

Water

Spatula

Method:

1. Put the 6 test tubes in the rack and label the rack with numbers

2. Using the measuring cylinder, fill the test tube 1 with 10ml of water then fill the empty ones with 5ml of water

3. using your spatula pick up a little bit of KMnO4 in test tube 1

4. carefully mix the water and the KMnO4 together until it has disolved

5. using the pipette carefully take exactly 5ml from test tube 1 and put in test tube 2

6. rinse the pipette throughly to ensure that no purple sollution remains

7. carefully mix test tube 2 and repeat the transfer process, transfering exactly 5ml from the soultion from test tube 2 to test tube 3

8. rinse the pipette again and repeat the transfer process for test tubes 4, 5, and 6

Conclusion/Descussion:

I saw that the colour changed when I kept adding 5ml to test tube 2 3 4 5 and 6 it went from purple to really light pink, The first one was the least dilute because it had the most KMnO4 and the last one was the least dilute because it had the least KMnO4 in it. I think this experiment is really cool and fun I recommend it for ages 10+.
