Visual arts: street art







I really like this beautiful masterpiece because it's a real digestive piece of street art. I also like all the variations of colours, and I'm a man of colour. but the one thing that catches my eyes is all of the random but amazing patterns. If I got h1gh I would be tripping looking at this majestic beautiful amazing art.

Trolley dilemma

 Situation: Five people are in the middle of a train track and which none can move, but the track connects to another track which has one person on it and you have to make the choice if you'll sacrifice five innocent people or one.

Opinion: I would sacrifice the one person in my opinion. reason is because there are least fatality's of I choose the one person instead of five people, but if let five innocent lives die more friends and family would be very devastated. so unfortunately one life is taken from them but at least I saved five.

Social studies (the great pacific patch)

 In social studies we are learning about the great pacific patch, which is a big ass island made of plastic rusbbish. one thin g I've learnt is that if we don't find a solution to this plastic problem there will be more plastic in the sea then fish.

Metals and oxygen

 Aim: to make a metal oxide and observe the difference in properties of the product compared to the reactants

Equipment a piece of magnesium, bunsen buner, saftey glasses, metal scissor tongs

method: 

1. light your bunsen buner

2. hold your piece of magnesium in the scissor tongs. ensure that you are holding onto the very tip of the magnesium

3. place the other end of the magnesium into the bunsen buner flames ( at the top of the blue flame)

4. whe the magnesium begins to burn, do not look directly at it, as the light emitted can permanently damages your eyes.

Results: it made a big bright light
