pizza

In-home economics, we did pizza. if I could change anything I would have added more ham and maybe more healthy ingredients. My pizza in self reflect, was really good compared to all the other food we made vegetarian sushi, fish and chips. the fish and chips werent flavourved enough and the sushi rice had no flavour even tho we added enough flavour. when we made the dough the dough was to sticky to be  dough but we fixed it.

ingredients

  • - 1 cup self raising flour (or 1 cup plain flour and 1 teaspoon of baking powder)
  • - 1 cup unsweetened yoghurt
  • - ½  tsp salt
recipe 
1. In a bowl combine all ingredients.
2. Bring together to form a ball.
3. Turn out onto a floured board. Knead and roll the dough for 5-8 minutes.
4. Break into even parts for each person in your group.
5. Roll into an oblong or round shape
 To make your homemade pizza:


  1. Pre-heat oven to 200 degrees Celsius.

  1. Spread tomato paste onto the pizza base.



  1. Add your favourite toppings eg, cheese, tomato, red onion, basil 


4. Bake for 10 minutes or until cooked.

Devices are evil


This is a graph of the class times and devices.  the top one that is a heart is how much time the students were on their devices. the red is the people who have been on their devices for 5-10 hours, the orange is 11-15 hours, the yellow is the people who have been on  for 16-20 hours, the green is 21-25 hours, blue is 26-30 hours, indigo and 31-35 hours, violet is 36-40 hours, and pink is 41-45 hours.

The bottom one is what devices were used. the phone was used by 17 people which was red, tv was used by 12 people and the colour is purple, the console was yellow and was used by 7 people, the computer was blue and used by 13 people.

Electrochemical cell

Aim- to measure the voltage created in an electrochemical (galvanic) cell.

equipment- 2x 250 mL beakers, U-tube (or filter paper), voltmeter, 2x wires with alligator clips, Mg and Cu electrodes, sandpaper, 1.00 mol l -1 solution of Mg (no3)  and CuSO 0.100 mol L-1 KNO solution, electronic scales.
Dangerous chemicals we used

  • zinc nitrate solution
  • copper nitrate
  • potassium nitrate


method- 
1. use sandpaper to remove any oxide coating on the Zn and Cu electrodes. weigh and record the mass of each electrode.
2. set up a galvanic cell as shown in the diagram below. if you do not have a u-tube, soak filter paper in solution KNO3 to act as a salt bridge.
3. record the voltage displayed on the voltmeter
4.replace the voltmeter with a wire to complete the circuit
5.leave for 10 minutes and then record observations. carefully extract each electrode from the beakers and after drying them, measure and record their mass.

results- 




discussion *sorry if this is wrong this is my understanding* -
we should have got 1.101 volts (because zinc voltage is 0.72 and the copper voltage is 0.34), but we got  0.883, why?  there are multiple reasons. a couple reasons could be the coating on the metal, the salt bridge, or the acid or base concentration can all cause a change of voltage. the reason why zinc loses electrons is because the zinc is more reactive than the copper. which means the copper must gain electrons because electrons do not just disappear.  the salt bridge was a solution of potassium nitrate (K⁺NO⁻₃). why was the salt bridge there? well the salt bridge is there because since the zinc is losing and the copper is gaining it needs to be made equal. The electrons of the zinc is going to the copper. the copper needs to be levelled out because the copper just has a negative charge. the salt bridge a mix of positive and negative.  the potassium positive goes into the zinc because it lost and the other part of the potassium nitrate is going into the copper.
Leo the lion goes ger, what does this mean? Leo stands for lose electrons oxidation. Ger stands for gain electrons reduction.

evaluation- 
if I could do the experiment again I definitely would. if I could change anything I would make sure I had fewer chemical in the beaker because it made it a bit hard to put the solution back into the container. I wouldn't change who I worked with at all.

Who is in your group? And what is each person doing?
Logan, Josh, Sam, Nadia and Me. Logan Is rapping. Sam, Nadia and I are singing and Josh is
dancing.

What song have you chosen and why?
The Schuyler sisters, because we can. *we don't really have a reason*

Add a link to the song you have chosen?


What is the song about?
introduction to the schuyler sisters and the revolution

Which part of the song will you start rehearsing first and why?
we will most probably start getting the lyrics correct.

Essay not finished.

Do you think gay people should be allowed to be married?
Well if you said yes then why is gay marriage illegal in certain places?
I personally think that gay people should be allowed to get married. In this essay,
I will be talking about why gay people should be allowed to marry, how gay people got
treated when they married when they weren't supposed too and how did they get over the
fact they couldn't marry.  


The first thing I am going to state is why gay people should be allowed to marry.
I think they should be aloud to marry because its complety there choice and no one should be
aloud to change that. I think this is where homophobia fits in. one of the many reasons why one
person of any gender is homophobic because they are gay, bi, lesbian, etc but dont know how to
come out. If straight people are aloud to marry why arent gay people aloud to. Straight people are
basically the same people except they like the same gender and they have a certain name. 


The second thing that i will be staing is how gay people get treated when they get married when
they are not surpose to.  In certain places if they married they would be put in jail to say “hey not
your not aloud to be married to garry because hes the same gender as you” * just an example*. Gay
men were torurted as some men have said that they were arrested and tourtured. They were have
said that they were threatened with a fake crimes and fake charges wrong.
