The Color of The Flame

The Color of The Flame
Today we had science YAY.

Today we were learning and using the Bunsen Burner.

We had to learn the safety rules first though obviously.

1. The location of the lab fire extinguisher and safety blanket is known.

2. Safety glasses were worn.

3. Long hair was tied back and loose items of clothing tucked away.

4. The Bunsen Burner was placed on a heat resistance surface. 

5. The Bunsen Burner is not too close to the edge of the desk.

6. The burner was connected to the gas tap correctly.

7. The rubber tubing was checked for cracks or leaks. 

8. The air hole on the Bunsen burner was closed before lighting.

9. The splint was lit before the gas was turned on.

10. The splint was positioned correctly while the gas was turned on.

11. The student can adjust the flame safely.

So after all that we could get started.

When we were using the Bunsen burner we had to make the different color flames e.g a blue to green flame. At the end we got a Bunsen Burner licence.
I liked using the Bunsen burner because i had never used one before. My favorite part was getting to see the flames change there color.

This is a photo of the types of flames we had to make.

The heart of the school

The heart of the school

WALT was to learn how to make a WordCloud and to present information.

Term 1 has flew past and bam it's term 2. I have some work that I have made on the first week of term 1 about words the describe on what makes Hornby high a good school. To show the words in an presentable way we used WordCloud.

• First we went on to WordCloud and had a little look around and tested things out.
• Then we started typing in words to describe a good school e.g value.
• Once we sorted out the words we change the colour and the shape the words would be.
• Then we finished it and upload it.

Overall I had  an awesome time learning how to use WordCloud and all it can do.

Now I would say I am an expert!
