Science Year 10

Aim:  I want to Investigate how to extract DNA from a kiwifruit

Research: Exacting DNA from a Kiwi fruit
Hypothesis:
I expect to complete the test the right way by following the instructions carefully.
And I also expect to ace this experiment.

Method: 

1. Cut the kiwifruit into cups and put it in a zip lock bag and mush it until it almost looks like pudding.
2. Fill a cup with hot water and salt.
3. Pour the saltwater mix into the ziplock bag and close it gently, Squeeze and move the salt water and kiwifruit mush together. Do this for 30 to 45 seconds.
4. Add dishwashing soap into the bag and gently mix the contents. try to avoid making too much foam.
5. Place the coffee filter in a glass cup, securing the top of the filter around the lip of the cup.
6. Pour the mix into the filter and let it sit until all of the liquids drip down.
7. Remove and discard the used coffee filter.
tilt the glass slowly and add cold alcohol down into the cup. You want the alcohol that is 2.5-5 cm thick.
8. The layer is set up, wait for eight minutes. You may see some bubbles and cloudy material moving around in the alcohol. This is the DNA pieces clumping together.
9. Use the wooden stirrer to start poking the cloudy stuff in the alcohol layer. Spin the stirrer it in place to start gathering the cloudy stuff.  

Equipment:

• Coffee filter
• Funnel
• dishwashing liquid
• salt
• zip lock bag
• glass cup
• Alcohol (Isopropyl)
• wooden stirrer
• toothpicks
• measuring cylinder
• beaker
• 1/2 spoon

PS: The link will take you to a banana instructions guide 
but it also works with a kiwifruit



Discussion: 
(S) Deoxyribonucleic acid is made up of molecules called nucleotides. Each nucleotide contains a phosphate group. 

(E) 

(X) This is how my experiment ended up looking like. It was a complete success.
When pulling out the DNA is was feeling snot after you pulled it out from your nose.
I am very proud to achieve this Experiment.



What could I do better?
I could have done better is decreasing the foam because the foam distracts the DNA.

What would I've done differently?
I would get hot water differently rather boiling it because boiling the water will take much longer.

I defiantly will do this again but with another fruit such as a banana, dragon fruit, pear, grapes etc...
overall I loved doing this experiment.

Slave Trade triangle

What is a slave trade triangle?
The best-known Triangle er trading system is the transatlantic slave trade, That operated from the late 16th to the early 19th century's, Carrying slaves, cash, crops.

What is the first passage?
In the last 1400s Portuguese sail to Africa in search of gold, but they have found Africans and made them into hard working slaves  


What is the middle passage?
The middle passage was the crossing from Africa to the Americas, which the ships made carrying their cargo of slaves.

Third passage?
They took the slaves back to Europe to they could farm up cotton,tobacco, and many other good thing that they want.

The thing I found interesting that they would make the slaves live in bad houses or places and treat them like rubbish.

Health blog

In Health this year we have been working on Personal Identity and character Strengths.
This year what I've learn't is that my top character strength is kindness.

Identity photo- sorry if it looks bad because it won't let me upload on blogger.....

TWO most important values that I choose
Family
Self-Discipline 
why is it important to you
Family- Because you need you family's help in most things and also you don't feel like your lonely and you don't anyone that can help you.
Self-Discipline- I feel like you need this one most because you can do things faster in a lot of different situations.
A moment where you recalled this value
Family- I needed help with my year 6 homework
Self-Discipline- It was a really hot day and my Dad went outside to do some work so I gave him some water to cool down so he does not get a heat stroke.

The value that I like to work on is Achievement only.
I could start work hard into my study (Not like I already am)
I also could stop talking to much in class and start to focus.

Social studies

I've been learning about this Indian slave called Igba and also human rights. On the human rights topic we have to create a poster about all the human rights and trying to make it look nice to present it to the teacher.

Here is my poster about human right:

The most interesting that I've learnt is that there is still a lot of slaves out there working for some form of income.

My work was to make a human rights poster
as seen on the top the page.
