Music...




 The English version.












This song is made by stein weaker, Ria Hall, Troy Kingi, Maisey Rika. They are all singing about New Zealand (Aotearoa) The music style is pop the part i liked in the video was when they put all the letters together to spell Aotearoa. 








This song is encouraging ones belief in their natural instinct or spirit.
The style of music is pop
my favourite part of the song was the opening.

Particle Theory of Matter Convection

Aim: To observe convection in a liquid

Equipment: 200 ml beaker, water, tweezers, a crystal of potassium permanganate, a drinking
straw, Bunsen burner, heat mat, tripod and gauze mat.

Method: 1. Set up a Bunsen burner on a heatproof mat. Put the the gauze mat on the tripod leave it just                     to one side of the Bunsen burner.

              2. Fill a 200 ml beaker with 150 ml cold water.

              3. Place the beaker on top of the tripod and gauze and allow it to settle for a few minutes.

              4. Carefully insert a drinking straw down one side of the beaker, ensuring the straw is                                touching the bottom of the beaker. Be careful as you do not want to disturb the water too                        much.     
     
              5. Using tweezers, drop a crystal of potassium permanganate down the inside of the straw.                          Wait for the crystal to settle on the bottom of the beaker.

              6. Very gently, so to not disturb the water, remove the straw.

              7. Light the Bunsen and slide it under the tripod so that you are only heating the outside of                          the beaker where the crystal is. observe.




Behaviour of matter - Expansion

 Behaviour of matter - Expansion: When particles  are heated, they begin to move around and the space between the particles increases, causing the substance to expand. The diagram below shows the effect of heat on the particles in a solid substance. Notice that the particles are vibrating more. Because of this, they are bumping into each other and the distance between the particles increases. This means the solid will expand.


  1. The movement of the particles? They get slower as they are dying from the heat.
  2. The size of the particles? They expand.
  3. The space between the particles? They start to have more speed.
  4. The size of the substance? 


Aim: To observe contraction in gases.

Equipment: Aluminium can, scissor tongs, Bunsen burner, heatproof mat, tripod,
open container of water
