Current electricity

 1. What is the particle that moves in a wire? Electric current is a flow of electrical charge. The electricity that is conducted through copper wires in your home consists of moving electrons.

2. If there is a high current in a circuit what does this mean? With a low resistance in the connection, a high current will flow, causing the delivery of a large amount of energy in a short period of time

Stactic eletricity

 1. What are the 3 particles that makeup everything? Which ones have a positive and negative charge?

: Electrons protons  neutrons 

2. Objects want to be "electrically neutral" What does this mean A proton and an electron have an equal amount but an opposite type of charge.  

3. When you rub two so insulators and a conductor? When two insulators are rubbed together then they become electrically charged.

4. What is an example of static energy? when you put your hands on an electric fence or something like that you get a shock and get then your hair goes up because all of the electrons go up into your body.

Dilution and Filtration

2.When we added water what were we doing to the concentration: Chemicals weaker-diluted with water.

3.Test tube 1 

4.Make sure you have a photo to post!

Resilience activity 1

 What is resilience to you: Resilience to me is when someone feels sad and down and just thinks that they can't do it anymore they stand up and give it a go.

What skills do you need to show to be resilient: If someone is down maybe go and see what's wrong and try and get them back on their feet and make sure their day is better.

Think of a time when a challenge came along. How would you deal with it differently this time: A challenge for me was when I moved from Dunedin it was challenging at first I was like my parents I want to go back to Dunedin but later I really like it here I said to myself but if I had gotten used to it I think I would not have complained to my parents that much but I still miss Dunedin but at the end, I'm in Christchurch.
