Testing pH

 Aim: To test the pH of a range of household chemicals.

Method: Add a few drops of each chemical to a spot on your spotting tile. If a substance is solid or powdered you will need to mix it with a few drops of water before testing it. 

Results: 

Discussion:

The results tell me if it was an acid or a base. Some of the colors in turned to will tell me if it is an acid or a base or not. Red is a strong acid with a pH number of 0 and if its blue its a strong base with has a pH number of 14 and if its green that is neutral with a pH number of 7.

Conclusion:  

If I were to do this again I use different chemicals and sort it better.

Music Through Time

Harriet Tubman is possibly the most well known of all the underground railroads conductors. During a ten year span she made about 19 trips into the south and she escorted over 300 slaves to freedom. As she once pointed out to Frederick Douglass, in all of her journeys she never lost a single passenger. 

This is one of the songs they used to help out each other and songs are ways to communicate to each other. This song Steal Away was used to communicate that the person who is singing the song is planning to escape and that's how they communicate. 

Steal Away

Chorus: steal away, steal away!

Steal away to Jesus?
Steal away, steal away home!
I ain’t got long to stay here!

My Lord calls me!
He calls me by the thunder!
The trumpet sound it in my soul!
I ain’t got long to stay here!

Chorus

My Lord calls me!
He calls me by the lighting!
The trumpet sound it in my soul!
I ain’t got long to stay here!

Chorus.

This is called the slave trade triangle and it shows where they went. In the slaves states they were forced to pick cotton, sugar and tobacco. They would get badly hurt if they weren't doing enough work. This event impacted a lot of people and it still does till this day. 

Model Atom

Aim: To make a model of a atom. 

Method: 

1. Choose an Atom to make (one between Hydrogen and Neon) 

2. Work out how many protons, neutrons and electrons it has.

3. Assign Protons and neutrons to a particular color bead.  

4. Get a ball of blue tac and stick the protons and neutrons to this to make your nucleus. 

5. Cut out the appropriate electron shells and draw on the electrons with vivid.

6. Connect the nucleus and electron shells with a piece of string. 

7. Create a label to go above the model so people know what you have created.  

Results:

Discussion: 

- Atomic number - 3 / Number of Protons and Electrons is the atomic number / Mass number - 7 / Number of Neutrons is the mass number. 

- Protons - 3 / Electrons - 3 / Neutrons - 4

- First shell can only have 2, Second shell can have 8 and third shell can also only have 8.

- Although Lithium is a metal it is soft enough to cut with a knife. 

- Along with Hydrogen and Helium, lithium was one of the three elements produced in large amounts of the Big Bang.

Conclusion: 

It worked really well and it lasted a while after it was created. If I were to make this again I would change the element to something a bit lighter so it would hold together.
