The Skeletal System | Health

Hi everyone! Welcome to another post, for the past few weeks in health we have been working on a research topic called revelation. For this research topic, we had to choose from a range of health-related topics and conduct research about it. 

After choosing a topic to research about we had to choose/create some 5 questions that revolve around that topic, to answer. In those questions, we had to include one about the Values and Attitudes of people towards that particular topic. Finally, we then get to decide on how we present our work, I decided to present my work on a Prezi.

Health : Discovery - Schizophrenia

Hi everyone! Welcome to another post. For the past few weeks in health, we were working on our discovery topics where we get to research a topic of mental health and then do research about that kind of topic. Firstly we had to choose some big questions to answer that relates to our topic of mental health, then we had to research some information to answer the big questions we have chosen. The answers that we wrote had to be well thought out and the information has to include some key concepts we learned about this year. After that, we did some more research about some strategies to cope or cure that specific topic of mental health. While researching about it we also had to think about how we are going to present our work. Finally, after finishing all that work we had to post our research with our choice of presentation for our work. 

For this project, I decided to work in pairs, so I working with someone else. We decided to do our research on schizophrenia. Like the process above, we all did the same and things and wrote about schizophrenia. From there we then had to choose our choice of presentation, in other words, we needed to pick how to present the information we have gathered. 

Strategies and Choice of Presentation:

Artworks:

Hallucination

Schizophrenia was said to be a colourful type of mental health.

Strategy to cope with schizophrenia: Therapy/Doctor

Reflection: This project was really fun, and I got to learn more about something I didn't know about before. I am really proud of my friend and I's artworks. Next time I would include more about the key topics in the research. 

Home Chemistry: Introduction

Aim: To learn the names of 10 household chemicals and identify if they are a solid, liquid or a gas.

Definitions:

1. Element; A single form of a chemical 
2. Compound: A mixture made up of 2 or more elements
3. Reaction: A process in which chemicals mix together to form a new substance.
4. Mixture: When two or more elements are mixed together.

Equipment:

1. Lemon Juice 
2.  Salt 
3.   Sugar
4.   Vinegar
5.   Lemonade Bubbles
6.   Onion Gas
7.   Baking Soda
8.  Milk
9.  Cornflour (Starch)
10. Banana 

Steps:

1. Make Chart
2. Research Chemical Name
3. Search Image
4. Write the Conclusion

Repeat the steps for all the chemicals.

Task 1: Put the 10 chemicals in a chart with the titles - Name, Chemical ingredient(s), Image, Solid/Liquid/Gas.

Name	Chemical	Image	Solid/Liquid/Gas
Lemon Juice	Citric Acid		Liquid
Salt	Sodium Chloride		Solid
Sugar	Copper (ll) Sulfate, Glucose		Solid
Vinegar	Acetic (Ethanoic Acid		Liquid
Lemonade Bubbles	Carbon Dioxide		Gas
Onion Gas	Propanethial S-Oxide		Gas
Baking Soda	Sodium Bicarbonate		Solid
Milk	Magnesium Hydroxide		Liquid
Cornflour	Amylum		Solid
Banana	Isoamyl Acetate		Solid

CONCLUSION: ( WHAT DID YOU LEARN OR SEE)

In this post, I learned that Lemon Juice has Citric Acid in it and it is a liquid chemical. I also learned other things, so Sugar has Glucose and other chemicals in it like Copper ll Sulfate which is a solid, another one was Vinegar it has Acetic Acid/Ethanoic Acid, which was a liquid.  I also learned that Onion has a gas called Propanethial S-oxide in it that makes you cry when you cut it, which is a gas. Two things that both have a solid chemical was a banana and Cornflour/Starch, a banana has Isoamyl Acetate chemical and Cornflour/Starch had Amylum in it. Another one I didn't know about was that milk had Magnesium Hydroxide and it is liquid (of course). The last one I didn't know about was Baking Soda it had Sodium Bicarbonate in it and it is, of course, a solid. Salt has sodium chloride and it is a solid, Lemonade bubbles have carbon dioxide and it is a liquid.
