Atomic Science: Periodic Table
The periodic shows us elements and features of many different things and how or what we do, on the periodic table there are elements, mass numbers, atomic, and different columns or rows of the different elements, the features of the elements-(Alkali metals, Transition metals, Gases)
The periodic table show elements also including calcium, lithium, copper, helium, and many more other elements/physicals properties, they are all very different and even some are compacted with each other for another outcome and some are mixed with others.
Alkani Metals: alkani metals are metals that can react with any other element on the periodic table because of how many electrons aren't in them, the alkani metals consist up of different metals including Lithium(Li), Sodium(Na), and more, they can be found in the 1 column of the periodic table, how they can mix with other elements is because they don't have enough electrons to stay or be stable.
on Friday we had a little experiment, on the day the experiment consisted of lithium (li) and sodium (na) and also cold water + universal indicator,

Art - Slinkachu Inspiration
For a few weeks we have been working on some slinkachu images or to take photos as if in his position, we were inspired to make a story with only a couple of photos or images, we came up with a focal point as well as the backstories within the photos...
So in like the first couple of weeks we came up with the backstory first, made a few sketches to plan out what we were going to do or make but the style or theme was Slinkachu.
during the middle of the weeks of planning we got to taking photos of what we planned for one of my plans was to picture a few soldiers on a journey...
Focal point as I have tried to make obvious that where most eyes would look at would be that the middle where the people are standing I guess...
Well I have Learnt that some perspectives can change how someone can see, or to put it in better words if you cant change what you want it to look like try to change your angle or the way you see...

Hannah Höch - Art
For the past week or s in art I have been working on a couple of scrap books inspired by Hannah Höch, the learning we did was about Hannah Höch and her artwork, I have made 4-3 but some are or have a little twist of artwork or things I like, we had to make a photomontage of them all connected together.
We were meant to at least make 8-9 but I cut mine down to 3-4...
I made these because I like the look of how it is aesthetic and kind of my favourite colours. If so can I have feedback on my work, on if its a little too or doesn't have much Hannah Höch's artwork style in it or something.

Middle Ages - Hurumanu 3
Medieval Punishment
Many tortures and cruel punishments were used in medieval times. These included…
These included:
Beheading, believe it or not, but in the middle ages, it would have been the most honorable and quickest execution…
Burning.
Hung, strung, and quartered.
Hanging.
Stretching.
Boiling to death.
The wheel.
But one gruesome punishment that is cruel enough to get the truth out of someone or that is maybe the most painful would maybe perhaps the most brutal of all execution methods is hung, strung and quartered. This was traditionally given to anyone found guilty of high treason. The person who did what they did would be hung and just seconds before death released then disemboweled and their organs were then thrown into a fire - all while still alive.
This punishment would really only come to a person if they have done something very bad, maybe even worse than theft, maybe a crime that could bring you to punishment could be Homicide - (Murder or manslaughter)...
What life in the middle ages was like?
Interestingly, life in the middle ages was mostly divided the rich and poor were separated in how they lived, while the rich-(King, Clergy/Nobleman) lived in a castle they got to have showers every day and having more than enough food, then the poor-(Farmers/Peasants) having barely enough money for food, or couldn’t shower every day.
This was important because it shows how life would suck so much to be poor and how the poor lived, or maybe how it was hard to be a peasant in the middle ages...

Diffusion - Hurumanu 3
Aim: Investigate if particles diffuse faster in hot or cold water.
Hypothesis: I think... I think that the hot water will diffuse or make the Potassium Permanganate will spread faster in the hot water...
Because the hot water would make the particles move faster than the cold water.
Method: Fill up 2 Petri dishes with water, one hot one cold then drop potassium permanganate in both of the Petri dishes, then wait for your result-( Do Not Stir).
Particle Theory:
1. Particles make up everything
Results: The dish with the hot water spread more because of how fast the particles where moving...
Discussion: I think it happened because when particles are in a hot environment it tends to move faster than when it is in a colder environment...
