Green and Rainbow challenges
A: Green challenge:

Take a test tube and fill with "two fingers" of the base. Now see the teacher for three drops of universal indicator. Now add the acid

Observations:
1. When we added the universal indicator to the base the colour changed to Blue .
2. When the solution was neutralized the colour changed to Green .

The most difficult thing about this challenge was trying to balance then base and acid




B: Rainbow challenge:

Take a test tube, the base and the acid and universal indicator and create a the best rainbow in a test tube you can manage.

Metal

In Metal we used the bluffer safely, I know this because we used safety masks and we used a bowl of  water to dip our work in so it would cool down faster and we could keep working on our projects without worrying about getting burns on our hands.

Metal


In metal we were using the drill press safely, how do I know this because we used safety glasses and we clamped the work down so it doesn't spin and hit someone. We also had our hair tide up if its is long so it doesn't get ripped into the drill as it's going. We took all our loss clothing off so it didn't get tangled in the drill press!

Are students addicted to their phones

I feel that students are addicted to their phones because lots of teens are on lots of social media which means more screen time in one day and have their phones in their hands most of the time. I think that this is bad because people aren't going outside and more people are getting really lazy, for example people now just call uber or postmate to bring them food/drinks and all they have to do is get up off the couch and pay for it. And People don’t talk to each other like they use to, they just text each other. Children don’t like to play outside as much as they use to, they just like to watch television or on cell phones. Many children are starting to get there first cell phone at a really young age witch means there will start to grow up with a phone so they start to get addicted when they get older!

How technology changed the way we do things

Technology has changed many job,task and everyday activities we do. This is
because the technology has improved and allowed us to do things differently. For example working on or manufacturing a car or bike or whatever your working on there are now new power tools that don’t need as much work involved and robots help by lifting heavy things such as motos and witch are run by computers. Another example is the way that we cook we use to use a fire outside with a pot or a pan on it and that’s what we called a kitchen but now we have a kitchen with a dishwasher in it and oven/stove with microwaves and sinks,These three examples are just a few of how technology has changed the way we do things.
