when I added them up in total. My hypothesis was eco cleaned the stain the poorest. Our hypothesis was incorrect because I thought that the plants in the soil correct because we predicted that Persil would be best washing powder. We now think that you should buy would grow better. Persil washing powder since it works the best. Georgina Ederveen & Chymez-Capree Te Wao Singh Senior Outings - Which water tastes better? Aim: To investigate if people can tell the Ms Grellman and Y13 Biology went to the Aquarium in Term One, to help with their understanding of difference between tap and bottled water. Hypothesis: We think that they might find out the homeostasis (an internal assessment they were doing) and Y12 Biology went to the Rocky Shore in Term difference between the water because we Two as part of one of their internal assessments have tap and bottled water at school sometimes Conclusion: We found out that our hypothesis was Y12 Chemistry, myself and Ms Francis went to Massey wrong because 10 out of the 13 people did not find out in Term Three to do a hands-on practical in the first year Chemistry lab. A few words from Christine Grindrod the different types of water we used. about the day… Te Aroha Te Pou - Which type of cloth works the best? On the 22nd of August, my Y12 Chemistry class and I Aim: To investigate which type of cloth wipes travelled to Massey University in Palmerston North to experience a lab practical at the University’s Faculty of up an egg spill the fastest. Hypothesis: I think that the sponge will wipe up the Science. On arrival we were introduced to the lovely Mr egg the fastest because it is thick. I think that the paper Jull, the Senior Tutor for Chemistry at Massey and also towel will wipe up the egg the slowest because it will our teacher for our practical. Mr Jull first introduced himself and his role at the University and went through just fall apart. Conclusion: My hypothesis was not correct. As I the rules for the lab and also our practical for the morning which was extracting Limonene oil from found out that the tea towel wiped the egg up the fastest with only 4 wipes. The sponge, paper orange skin. We set up our equipment and it was all on! towel and chux cloth took 5 wipes to wipe up the egg. We were able to extract a decent amount of Limonene oil from our orange peel. Our practical ended at lunch Shayvaria Sullivan & Wikitoria Kapea - Which at lunch and we had the pleasure of meeting a couple of past students at Massey and were lucky to be shown washing powder works the best? Aim: We are trying to find out which washing around the campus and halls of residence. The trip to Massey University was a great experience, and helped powder works the best (cleaner). Hypothesis: Our prediction is that Persil is going to me to have a better understanding of what University level Science consists of. Thank you to our Chemistry work the best. Our scientific reason is because the Persil Company claims that they are the teacher Mrs Jeffery and our Science Technician Ms Francis for organising the trip and also to Mr Jull for best from their own research. Conclusion: We learnt that Persil works the best and taking the time to give us a taste of Chemistry at Massey. This is an experience I will never forget. A few words from Nikayla Jonas …

On the 14th of August, two teams from Y12 and Y13 were chosen to participate in the Titration competition at the annual Science Fair at E.I.T. The Titration competition involved reacting an acid with a base and finding the unknown concentration of the acid. There were 28 teams and so whichever team got the closest calculated concentration won. From our school we had Jesse Pahuru, Teegan Maxwell, and I entered for our Y12 Chemistry team and Zoe Isaacs, Te Waihuka Herewini-Macdougall, and Madison
