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.

Hunter Swoop | English

Top Left corner

- Dark grey clouds cover the sky making it look like a thunderstorm is about to happen, a lonely mountain peak can be seen from the distance.

Top Right corner

- The bright sky covered in colourful clouds reflect the light of the glowing sun behind it.

Bottom

- Murky waters can be seen from the edge of the bridge, no life can be seen from the dark and unclear waters of the lake.

Middle 

- As I walk slowly toward the end of the bridge, I see a girl with long dark hair sitting alone, not a single sound can be heard apart from her breath, I ran and ran towards her and before I could get to the end, she looked me in the eye and jumped into the mirror-like lake, though unclear, still reflected a sight of green mountains so tall.

- Top left corner of the image

 Dark trees and branches cover the background making it look like a dark black hole.

- Top right corner of the image

As the dead trees disappear into the mist and fog, Dark trees stand tall as if leading the ones behind.

- Bottom part of the image

The mirror-like lake reflects a beautiful yet frightening sight of dark dead trees, its leaves scattered as if they were being set free, another world can be seen once I looked in.

- Middle part of the image
As I walk through the misty and foggy forest, still frightened by what I have seen, I was greeted by a glistening lake reflecting all of the darkness behind me. I have thought my journey was rough yet now that I am standing here I have learned to realize that the hardships I've been through have been worth the fear when I see such I mesmerizing sight.

The Hunter Swoop | English

 A Sky so cloudy, A mountain can barely be seen from behind.

Ice covers the mountains, so cold yet so bright as the snow reflects the sun's light.

A sheet of frost covers the road, clearly slippery from the ice. streaks of tire tracks from cars driving left their mark on the thin layer of ice.

everything disappears when it reaches the end of the horizon to a breathtaking view of mountains so cold and bright.
