Hitler's Anti-semitism / Anti-jew | Social Studies

Hello everyone! This past week in Social Studies, we have been learning about the holocaust, the great depression and we have now started on the topic of why Hitler despised the Jews ( anti-semitism )

 “The Jews were responsible for bringing negroes into the Rhineland with the ultimate idea of bastardising (lowering the quality of) the white race which they hate and thus lowering its cultural and political level so that the Jew might dominate.”

Hitler has said these things as to his belief that the white race is the most superior. His hatred and racism against the Jews have also led him to manipulate the public view of the Jewish race. He has manipulated the people into believing that the Jews are the ones to blame, the people believed these lies without having any knowledge or truthful information of how and what the Jewish race actually is.

DNA Extraction | Science

Hello everyone! this past week we have learned about DNA and have conducted an experiment, extracting DNA from kiwi fruit.

Aim:

- Our aim was to extract DNA from a Kiwi fruit.

Equipment:

- Water, Beakers, Sand, Spatula, Ethanol, Kiwi Fruit, Sandwich bag, Bunsen Burner, Heat Mat, Gauze Mat, Tripod, Test Tube, Dishwash Liquid, Glass Rod, Cloth.

Method:

Step 1 

( Result )

- Put the peeled kiwi fruit in the sandwich bag, add sand and water and mash it.

Step 2

- Pour the kiwi fruit through the cloth and collect the juice in a beaker.

Step 3

- Put water in a beaker and heat it up until it's warm.

Step 4

- pour the Kiwi fruit juice into a test tube with two drops of dishwashing liquid.

Step 5 

- Put the test tube in the beaker with warm water and let it rest.

Step 6

- pour the ethanol into the test tube and mix gently using a glass rod.

Step 7

- Wait until the DNA separates and collect using a spatula.

Discussion:

- We used a bit of dishwashing liquid with the crushed kiwi fruit to break down the walls and separate the cells of the kiwi fruit from each other. We then poured in the ethanol which separated the DNA from the kiwi fruit.
