Science: Neutralisation

Science: Neutralisation

Aim: To observe a neutralisation reaction.

Equipment:

•  test tube
• test tube rack 
• Sodium Hydroxide
• Hydrochloric Acid
• Universal Indicator solution
• dropper bottle 

Method:

Add approximately 1-2 ml of Solution Hydroxide and place the test tube in the test tube rack. Add 3-5 drops of Universal indicator solution. 

Using a dropper bottle add the Hydrochloric acid. Be careful because adding even a small amount of extra acid can mean you'll miss the neutralisation point.

Result: 

After adding the hydrocloric acid we notice that the solution make it turn green after mixing a little longer it then turned yellow. So that meant we had to add more Hydroxide to make the green we wanted. Once it turned green we were able to get an neutrolise  point.

Discussion: 

We quickly noticed that adding a slight drop changed the colour dramatically. So we had to take our time and do it drop by drop. When we finally got a green colour we didn't think it was the best so we kept putting more drops to get the right colour we were looking for. We wanted to make the solution green because green equal neutralisation. Neutrolisation is basically equivalent to water, it is a mixture of base and acid together which make it green and its technically a nice and calm solution. I wouldn't recommend drinking it, its not completely harmless but it not entirely harmful. 

Conclusion  

At first putting one single drop we realised that its gonna take a little bit of time to get the right green we are looking for. That meant we had to experiment with the chemicals and do it drop by drop. We also had to keep in mind how much of the different chemical drops we put in so nothing will overpower anything. After a while of messing around we were able to finally get the right solution/green we were looking for.

Self Directed Goal:

Self Directed Goal:

• Manage my learning time so I complete all tasks.

I am hoping that by the end of this term I am able to manage what I do each class time. I also want to make sure I am getting everything done in a efficient way.

Self Learning Goal:

Self Learning Goal:

This week I am wanting to try and ask for feedback when needed. I tend to just sit back and not ask for help which leads to no work getting done. I need to ask for help even if i'm doing it to reassure i'm right or wrong. 

• Ask for feedback when I am unsure. 

Model Atom:

Model Atom:

In science we did an experiment/project on making an atom. first we were asked to pick an element from the first 10 on the periodic table I choose Oxygen.

Equipment: 

1 piece of card

30 cm of string 

blue tac

colored beads for protons+ Neutrons.

Method: 

Stick p + n to blue tac

cut out rings from paper 
Draw electrons onto rings
Create a label 
Type strings to back of paper so it can hang.

I choose to do Oxygen,Oxygen's atomic number is 8 so I had to put 8 beads (Protons and Neutrons) on the center than I had to draw the electrons. Which was 2 on the inner ring and 6 on the outer ring. Ions formation would gain two so it makes a full outer layer of electrons and its easier to add 2 then lose 6.

What am I learning?

I am learning to show my understanding of different camera shots that are used in film.

How does this show my learning?

It shows my learning because I was about to put a picture of each camera show and then have a little explain or why its used and what it is.

What am I wondering as a result of this learning?

I wondering if every single shot I have listed is actually important or only some. I'm also wondering why there are so many film techniques.
