Ideas

1. Clay mode of an eel
2. Custom of animals
3. Class movie
4. Dusk to Dawn of the creatures hunted down the last survivor is fire                                                - With fire staph, a person holds, on survivor that hides, in a dark room                                          -Has been ruining and ruining, for ever trying to escape' that has defeated some beast/creatures but has ran out of objects to use.

Water balloons... Wooden sticks on fire, rope, makeup props, costume masks. fake blood etc

Plan

Aim:

I want to find out if you can colour flames.

Method:

1. Light candles and wait for the candles to melt
2. Pour in melted wax into the pot, add chemicals borax for green, and copper chloride for blue.
3. If you want add crayons.
4. Make sure everything is melted and mixed in.
5. Pour into the mold and gentle place in the candle wicks
6. Wait until it hardened and remove it from the mold.
7. Light and enjoy!

Equipment:

• Old candles
• Borax / Copper Chloride
• Candle Wick
• Candle Molds / Jars
• Green and Blue crayons
• A small pot
• Lighter

Doing

results
We tried adding crayons to melted candle wax to make coloured flame which did not work. Next we tried adding chemicals to melted wax but that still did not work.
We also tried putting string into a cemical liqued and lit it but that did not work ether.
We have now melted two old candles, crayons and a pinch of Copper Chloride. We added a cotten string as the candle wick. We used some ice-cream stick to hold it in place. They still have not changed colours.
Here is some photos of our homemade candles.

discussion
Flames change colour when chemical are added, or when it gets hotter that is why the crayons didn't change the colour of the flame. The chemicals  change colour because of the energy levels it creates.

evaluation
Even though our experiments did not work I have learnt a lot about fire and how it works.

Uru Manuka Cluster Logo

Uru Manuka

Here is my logo in the middle is a white manuka flower, on top of that is the cluster name. The flower has seven layers symbolizing the seven schools. I chose the yellow words because it symbolizing warmth and happiness. The background is blue because it symbolizes trust and power, and the out lines of the flower is green because it symbolizes nature and harmony. I used Sumo Paint to draw it, I hope you like it.

Nature Limericks

This week we have been learning about limerick poems. They are really enjoyable to make. They have five lines, the first, second and fifth lines all rhyme with each other and have seven to ten syllables. The third and fourth lines also rhyme with each other and have five to seven syllables.

Here are my limericks I hope you enjoy
