In Term 1 ESOL, we did lots of other types of activities. Like reciprocal reading, and explore the book “Ka kite bro”,The reciprocal reading is where we got into groups of 4 and read the book “The Diary of the Wild Boy” where we got into roles like = Predictor, Clarifier, Questionnaire, and the summarizer. After we do the reciprocal reading, we made a presentation about the book and then present it to the whole class, we worked at it for 2 days, until the deadline came and we needed to present it the class, the winner gets ann award, but you can still get an award for participating, the next esol period we got the results of whoever got the first place, we didn’t got 1st place but the group 2 did. 

In the other activity, where we explored the book “Ke kite, bro,” we needed to read the book. After we had read it, the teacher sent us an assessment, in which we answered some questions. After we answered the questions, we got into pairs, I paired with Matt Ramiel Tolentino, The next activity was to film me interviewing Matt about some questions we made about the book. I was the one questioning him, and he’s the one going to answer it.  After we made up some script, we were good to go. We turned on the camera and pressed play, we took so many tries because me Matt and was laughing during the filming, after 72 tries we finally got the best one. 

Today we did an experiment about dissolving, so first we had to get three beakers filled with the same amount of water in it, one of them is cold and the two of them is warm. we placed them in the table, after that we got salt and a stopwatch to measure how long they dissolved in the different type of methods we used. One of the warm ones we stirred and the rest we just let it dissolved by themsleves. We dropped 1 teasoon of salt in each beakers. And the result was the hot and stirred one was 1 minute, the normal hot one/not stirred was  2 minutes, and the cold one/not stirred was 3 minutes.

Insoluble = (Things that doesn’t dissolve in water.):

Rocks, Oil, pepper, sand, plastic.

SOlubles = (Things that does dissolve in water.):

Salt, sugar,Baking powder, Flour.

Conduction

For the whole term 1, we have done a total of 4 experiments. On those 4 experiments, they were all involved with heat, like the first one we did, the first one was conduction, where we set a Bunsen burner and got a retort stand to hold a rod. Then we got pins and stuck the pins under the rod with the use of jelly, then we turned on the Bunsen burner, heated up the rod, and then the pins fell down because of the heat, we recorded when the pin fell down. This experiment showed us how hot particles can spread to other particles.

Contraction

The next experiment was about contraction, where we set a Bunsen burner again with a tripod and placed an aluminum can filled with a bit of water, we also got an ice cream container filled with cold water, so first we needed to heat up the can so the water inside it can steam up, after its steaming we had to wait 30 seconds, after 30 seconds we got out tongs and picked up the can with it and then tilt the can pouring the hot water in the can go to the cold water in the ice cream container making it implode.

Convection

The third experiment we did was to see how convection works in a liquid, so again we needed to set a Bunsen burner with a tripod on top of it, holding a beaker with 200 mL of water in it, we turn on the bunsen burner on and then put the potassium permanganate in it through a straw. The water turned purple, we saw the water shift the more it got hotter, we saw the potassium permanganate rise up the surface. This experiment showed that the hot particles does to thee top but in the other hand the cold particles go down.

Diffusion

In this latest experiment, we did, we wanted to see how diffusion works. first step we needed to get two petri dish, one is filled with hot water and the other one filled with cold water, and then the teacher drops the potassium permanganate in the hot water and the cold water, we started the timer as soon he placed the potassium permanganate in it. The potassium permanganate in the hot water started off hot, and the cold one was slow. In the end the cold one spreaded fully first, but the hot one spreaded fast at the start.

In MELIP, we’ve been reading the book Wild Boy by Brando Yelavich with a group of 5 people, the group I got was Kean, Yuji, Renesmae, Tracy and me, the book was about a man who has a goal of turning his life around by walking around the coastline of New Zealand by only walking. After reading the book, we needed to make a presentation about the book and the significance of relationships, and then present it to the class when we finished it or when the deadline met.

Each presentation is each other’s script, my slide was about the relationship between Tarsh and Brando. we’ve been working at the presentation for the whole week. Tuesday, we needed to do the presentation because it was the deadline. Our group was group 2, our turn was after group 5. When it was our turn, we presented the presentation on the TV and stood in front of the class. Kean introduced the group first and we read our script from the presentation. We only had 4 people in the day of the presentation because Renesmae was absent. After we finished the presentation, we bowed and sat down in our chairs and let the others present.

The next day, we had melip again and we got the results, Group 1 won the competition, they got chocolate balls. but our group still got lollies for participation.
