In textiles we were doing screen printing, we drew a design on paper, I chose the Nirvana logo, then we cut it out using a craft knife. Once that was done we used a screen, textiles paint, and a squeegee, then pulled the paint on the screen using the squeegee to create our design.
I am a student at in Uru Mānuka. In 2020 I was a year 9 and in 2021 I will be a year 10. This is a place where I will be able to share my learning with you. Please note....some work won't be edited - just my first drafts, so there may be some surface errors. I would love your feedback, comments, thoughts and ideas.

Acid Rain Experiment
Acid Rain Experiment
What is acid rain? Acid rain is when the air gets so polluted with fossil fuels it gets absorbed by the clouds and comes out in an acidic form when it rains, it is environmentally harmful.
Aim: To observe effects of acid rain
Hypothesis: Petal- dry out calcium carbonate- become liquid apple-dry out, universal indicator- get dark bromothymol blue- lighten.
Method: In a petri dish place items around weigh boat which is in the middle of the dish, wet-dry ingredients with a drop of water. Add a spatula of sulfate to weigh boat, add 5 drops of sulfuric acid. quickly close.
observation: bromothymol blue is turning yellow/orange, the universal indicator is turning pink, the petal is getting slightly lighter. I think it's because acid eats way at things so it diluted the colour.
