- How to turn big numbers into small numbers.
- How to solve hard problems.
- Diametre, Radius and Pi.

New vocabulary that I learnt from math.

Chromatography

Aim:
To seperate the different pigments in inks using paper chromatography.

Method:
1. Cut a piece of filter paper long enough to reach the bottom of your test tube.
2. Rule a line in pencil 2cm from the bottom of paper.
3. Fill the test tube with 1cm of chromatography solution (water)
4. Place a dot of ink above the ruled line.
5.  Fold over test tube and place in solution.
6. Wait and observe
7. Repeat with 2 other colours.

Results:
The liquid climbed up the paper, reaches the ink circles and it touches the ink, the ink is slowly spreading throughout the paper. 


Discussion:
We draw a circle out of ink felts on paper filter. We carefully put it in the test tube with 10ml of water. After a while the ink started to spread around and mixing in with the other colours. This method is called Chromatography.

Evaporation

Aim:
Aim: To seperate a solute from a solvent in a solution using evaporation.

Equipment:

- Copper sulfate Solution
- 250 mL beaker
- Heatproof mat 
- Evaporating basin
- Bunsen burner
- Tripod
- Gauze mat

Method:

1.  Set up the bunsen burner, tripod and gauze mat. Don't place the bunsen burner under the tripod yet.
2. Add approximately 50 mL of how water to your beaker and place it on top of the tripod, on the gauze mat.
3. Add enough copper sulfate solution to quarter fill the evaporating basin.
4. Carefully place the evaporating basin on top of the beaker.
5. Light your bunsen burner. Open the air hole and gentle push the bunsen burner under the tripod.
6. Heat the solution until most of the solvent has been evaporated and crystals  of solute are forming.
7. Turn off your bunsen burner.


Results:
All of the solvent is evaporated and all that is left is the solute.

Discussion:
After the evaporation of the solution and all of the solvent evaporated all of that's left is the solute which is the blue crystals.

Separating a mixture using Distillation.

Aim: To separate a solute from a solvent in a solution using distillation.

Equipment:
-  Coke, conical flask, heatproof mat, a delivery tube and bung, bunsen burner, tripod, gauze mat, retort stand, boss head clamp, boiling tube.

Method:
1. Set up the equipment as shown in the diagram.
2. Add approximately 50 mL of coke into your conical flask.
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.

Observations:
While we were boiling the coke, a stream of steam came out after a while water was going up and was traveling through the delivery tube into the beaker.

Results: 
The coke was evaporating into the delivery tube and was traveling into the beaker and turned into water.

Discussion:
The solution (Coke) was evaporating and the solvent was turned into a gas. The gas has now transferred into the conical flask that are full of ice and the gas was condensing into liquid. During the experiment, we didn't have time to finish it so if we had more time, all that would be left in the conical flask is the solute (Black sugary stuff). This method is called "Distillation".

Bellwork- Own choice of learning

Today at english, we got to have a choice of our own way of learning. - Literacy

I was noticing that I was typing really slow and I found a friend who was practising his typing speed on a website called Nitro Type. This game is about how fast you type and in this game you need to type the words and every word you type, you gain speed. You can use this website to improve on your typing speed and I really recommend this if you love cars. 

This is my stats since I played it. (Try to beat me)
