Social studies work *not fully understood*

key differences and perspectives causing conflict

1. Maori didn't realize they were given away sovereignty to the queen. Maori went under British laws and didn't realize. Maori knew that they had control over there tribes.

2. The English version is said that they have full control over everything owned by them. The British could buy the land before anyone else got the chance to see it was on sale. Which means that Maori can only sell to the British. In the Maori one, it's a bit more detailed. If Maori wanted to sell land it would first be offered to British at an agreed price if the British declined then it would be sold to someone else. 

3. In both treaties Maori and English they both had the same subjects.

My essay from social studies

We need the treaty to help everyone be safe. People weren’t the best in New Zealand and they had so many drunk people and they couldn’t control everyone. People also traded stuff to get other things this includes musket, food, and others. In this essay, I will be arguing that we needed. We needed this essay to help get everyone safer. 

In this paragraph, I am going to answer how the declaration of independence helped the Maori?

Interestingly, Maori need the treaty to be protected from the wars over new Zealand. For example, No one had control of New Zealand because it wasn’t owned at the time. There were so many fights and wars over new Zealand and Maori truly believed that they should have owned it. the impact/ effect of all of this is important because they needed the treaty to make a mutual agreement. The declaration would help make the agreement which would keep nearly everyone safe. They needed something to help them.

Musket wars were very dangerous. So many people died from musket wars, around about 20,000 people died. More laws would have had to come in contact with the treaty because it would help protect. Nga puhi and a few other northern tribes would have been the first to get muskets. They traded food, flax, and sometimes woman to get muskets. they traded everything they had to get muskets. Muskets were the only thing that Maori had to protect themselves. So much people died as I said above which wasn’t good. If people didn’t get into wars I think that we wouldn’t have gotten a treaty which means we wouldn’t exactly safe, so in conclusion, we are pretty lucky to have that important event happen, it’s sad that 20,000 people died. English men shouldn’t have brought guns 

The point is important because Maori were dying a lot and missionaries were worried about the Maori. For example, they were worried about more deaths and land loss, they thought a treaty would protect their safety, and they taught Maori how to read and write in Maori so they could fit in. they also put parts of the bible in Maori. they taught Maori what to believe and got a good relationship with them. They taught Maori new things like farming methods. they shouldn’t have made rights for everyone and if the death wasn’t caused by other people then they should have done something to try to keep everyone safe. In the bay of islands, Maori had at least 3000 transfers to Christianity. Maori brought a whole lot of land which also worried missionaries. They should have been protected anyway.

In this paragraph, I am tryna prove that whalers had very lawless behaviour. This point matters because there was a lot of prostitution and war. They acted very lawlessly, reckless and they needed the treaty to control all of the bad behaviours. For examples, there were a lot of drunks, fights, and a lot of prostitution after they came back from sailing for days. the sailors would throw partys to celebrate there trades and successes. When the partys were thrown people would get very drunk. Most of the partys/ celebrations would turn into brawl/ fight. Most sailors were very reckless. 

This is why I think we needed a treaty which did come into place in the end. Whalers were into prostitution, Maori wanted muskets to fight the other Maoris and English men, and missionaries were worried about Maori because they kept dying. The treaty helped everyone and made everything better. The treaty helped everyone, one way or another. This is why I think we needed a treaty.

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 KNO<sub>3 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.</sub>

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. 

Everyone different

diversity post

That not everyone's the same. I learnt that we have different people in our class, and in movies people are different. I have also found diversity when the ariel movie when the trailer came out and everyone got annoyed because of its a different coloured person to the original.

the state of being diverse.

showing a great deal of variety; very different.

Then theirs change. *pun not intended*

Aim- To turn copper into silver and gold

Equipment-

• Two small beakers (50mL and 250 mL)
• bunsen burner
• tweezers
• Zinc sulfate 100g
• Zinc metal, grandular 100g
• glass stir rod
• tap water
• Copper pennies, well cleaned 

Method-

1. fill the small 50 mL beaker 3/4 full tap water. this is your rising beaker. set aside
2. dissolve 30 grams of zinc sulfate in 100mL of water in the 250mL beaker. a little heat from setting on the bunsen burner will hasten this dissolve.
3. place mossy zinc pieces in the beaker with the zinc sulfate solution, enough pieces to almost cover beaker bottom 
4. using tweezers, place two or three cleaned up pennies in step three beaker making sure pennies touch the grandular zinc pieces and are not touching each other 
5. bring the solution to a low boil for about 10 minutes. your pennies will slowly turn a silver colour.
6. using tweezers, carefully remove the pennies from the solution, rinse and cool them in small wash beaker then dry them on a paper towel.
7. Boom! ✨magically✨  you have  you have coloured pennies (coins)

Results-

Discussion-
a coin *a ten cent* is dipped into zinc sulfate and in contact with the zinc, the coin starts its change. the coin is plated with zinc and appears silver to the human eye. the coin that looks silver because of the zinc is placed above the bunsen burner flame for about half a minute (30 seconds) and then it should appear gold to the eye. the zinc and copper form an alloy of brass. the coin now appears gold.

Evaluation-
if I were to this whole experiment again I would definitely not use the actual metal I would use the zinc powder. when we use the zinc metal it takes way too long to actually put the plating onto the coin. but when we added the zinc powder it went 10x faster than it was.

Tarzan

The message from the movie Tarzan is to chose where u belong

This is because you should have a right because people can be from another country but they want to live here. We have seen this in the scene where Tarzan was with Jane and decided to go with her but in the end, he comes back to the island. This is why I think it's important to not judge people because you need to get to know them before you judge them. It makes me think about how rude people can be to others. In an ideal world, we all need to treat everyone with respect.

This message from the movie culture background doesn't matter

This is because you should have a chance of being you without your background being judged. We have seen this in a scene where Jane and Tarzan meet but she doesn't judge him she is just a little scared because he's using vines. This is why I think it's important to understand peoples background because people are not all the same.

Chicken rice patties

At school, we decided to make some chicken rice patties. we learnt a lot about bacteria and mis en place. mis en place means the preparation of dishes and ingredients. Putting stuff in its place or everything in its place. This whole recipe went well because I didn't get sick "YAY". The only way this could have gone wrong was if we all got sick. but we didn't which was good. well, I didn't actually think anyone else in my group got sick but I didn't.

What did I learn?

I learnt about what mis en place means. another thing I learnt was that bacteria can spread in the time of 2 hours which means that roast chicken on sunday night that u left out to call may be off unless you put it in the fridge.

What will I do next time?

I will try to be with the same group of people. at least 2 people in my group actually knew where everything was but I am getting closer to knowing where most things were are in the room. another thing that we could have done was add more flavour because it didn't actually taste like anything. In my opinion, we needed more flavour (chives, salt, pepper, chilli, etc).

Here Are The Ingredients and The Method

Ingredients-

3 cups of jasmine rice (about 1 cup uncooked) half 2 cups

1 chicken breast

½ tablespoons of olive oil

1 large carrot half

3 spring onions stalk half 1-2

1 ⅔ grated mozzarella ¾

3 eggs half 2 eggs

Method-  

1. Preheat oven 200 celsius
2. Slice chicken in half widthways, so it'll cook faster
3. Heat oil in a medium frying pan and cook chicken breast begins to brown
4. Remove pan and shred chicken
5. Grate carrot so you have at least a cup
6. Finely slice spring onions
7. Lightly beat the eggs

9.In a large bowl add cooked rice, chicken, carrot, spring onions, eggs and about 3/4s of the

cheese and mix well 

10.Spray muffin trays with cooking spray. Then spoon mixture into the trays.
Top with remaining cheese

11.Place in oven for 15 minutes until tops turn brown

10.Let them sit in trays for a few minutes before removing to rack to cool.

Use a knife to work around the edges of the rice patties to make removing them easier

the recipe should make at least 12.

In social studies, we are learning about Human Rights. we had to make 2 different activities either write a list of 5 human rights in what we think should be first and what should be fifth or do a canva poster. we sat for a bit discussing what we thought should be first. in my group of 4 was Sam, Brianna and Connor. we all, in the end, decided that we had all our rules written down. Here are our rules

1. No one can take our rights away

2. We are all born free & equal

3. The right to life

4. The right to education

5.the right to food and shelter

rule one. was correct because Sam said everyone deserves to have rights.

rule number 2. was decided by me because everyone should be free and equal.

rule 3. was the right to life(live). We all have the right to life, and to live in freedom and safety.

rule 4. the right to education basically meaning you have the right to learn and be educated.

rule 5. the right to food and shelter I realized everyone should have a place to live and should have some food.

Thats where we think the rules should be but thats not where they are on the list of human rights. here is where we found our Human Rights.here are the first 5 rules. 

1. We Are All Born Free & Equal. We are all born free. We all have our own thoughts and ideas. We should all be treated in the same way.

2. Don’t Discriminate. These rights belong to everybody, whatever our differences.

3. The Right to Life. We all have the right to life, and to live in freedom and safety.

4. No Slavery. Nobody has any right to make us a slave. We cannot make anyone our slave.

5. No Torture. Nobody has any right to hurt us or to torture us.
