Biuret test

Aim: To test if a sample of food contains protein.

Method:
1. Place about 2 ml of the sample into a test tube and add 5 drops of sodium hydroxide
2. Add 5 drops of copper sulfate.
3. Shake the test tube gently for side to side

Results: If the solution remains blue then there is no protein. If the solution changes to a purple colour then protein is present
 




Discussion: We dropped 5 drops of copper sulfate onto our food sample( egg white ). We shook gently it and heated it. We saw how both of the two samples turned into a lighter purple colour. This occurred because we know that both of the milk and the egg white contains protein.

Conclusion:  The milk and the egg white contains protein

In social studies we did a test and I can improve on doing graphs and seel paragraphs by adding more detail

   On the 23rd of May, my Year 9 ESOL class went to Willowbank Wildlife reserve to see their animals for our research project. I've been to Willowbank Wildlife reserve before so I wasn't a bit surprised at what was going on but this time it was more fun and more educational. These are some of the animals that caught my attention: The fallow deer, the alpaca and the rabbits.

 The first animal that caught my attention is the rabbits. I remembered that the rabbits were hanging around in their cages and in their warming boxes because it was cold outside. Our tour person came in the bunnies cage and she lifted the boxes and saw baby bunnies under. She lifted one up and showed the bunny to us, the bunny was small, mocha coloured and delicate. She let us touch it and it was very soft and I couldn't really touch it properly cause I was afraid I might squish it or hurt it. Then after admiring this cute little fluffy bunny, we went back to walking.

 The second animal that I noticed was the Alpacas. The alpacas were in their cage eating the hay?/grass? in their trough. There were two alpacas, one was brown and one was white. Their fur looked very soft. The white alpaca noticed us so it came over, while the brown one is still eating. I felt the alpacas fur and unsurprisingly it was soft. It felt like I was touching my blanket. Then after patting it and observing we left the alpacas alone.

The third and final animal is the Fallow deer. The fallow deers we saw was small. We saw two of them. We had to keep quiet not to startle them and we did that successfully, I think... We fed the two
fallow deer and the two of them were both quiet and very pretty. They have brown fur with white spots, Sharp round black eyes and pointy ears. The two looked like they prefer to be resting more than playing. They both were poised and weren’t loud so I felt peaceful. Then soon we were done the feeding and looking at them we looked at more animals.
 In conclusion, this trip with the 9ESOL class was fun and educational. We learnt lots about the animals we encountered and it was a lot more fun being with new people this time since I’ve been here.

SOCIAL STUDIES SEEEEEL

 The New Zealand government begun the signing of the treaty of Waitangi on 6th of February 1840. The British colonists believed that by signing the treaty the Maori would accept them.
 The British promised.The Maori authority and the British style of government is different. For example in Maori authority people were responsible for their own whanau,There were no courts,Judges police or prison, and etc..while the British government authority law was to control society and stop people from baking laws and rules,people were responsible for the whole society. and etc....
The NZ government signed the treaty during the 1800's and english believed the the Maori chiefs would trust them after they signed the treaty.
