B & E Kete

 Hi 

Yesterday we had our Business And Enterprise Kete Market day we worked for weeks putting together out posters, products, fixing things in our business that probably were not going to work . My group was called Unique Creations and we sold clay rings at first we were going to do clay earrings then we were going to do clay earrings and rings but we decided it would be better to do clay rings instead . I was the Productions manger , Hollie was the CEO , Eduarda was the Marketing manager , And Eduarda and I were the Sales/Finance manager . 

The whole idea around B & E Is to sort of give you a bit of a taster in what business is like and what the roles are and to work with deadlines and having to write letters and learning how having to have a budget is how I would put it .

Some important decisions our team made was cutting out a few ideas like the clay earrings Ect. I Think that our business did very well because we sold loads of our items and we got quite a bit of money . 

Overall I think our team did very well .

Red Cabbage indicator

All solutions have a pH. Acid solutions, have lower pH.

Alkaline solutions, have higher pH.

Substances that aren't acidic or alkaline (that is, neutral solutions)

usually have a pH of 7.

Acids have a pH that is less than 7.

Alkalis have a pH that is greater than 7


Equipment:

  1. Red Cabbage

  2. Knife

  3. Bunsen Burner

  4. Beaker

  5. Water

Method:

  1. Cut the cabbage into small pieces.

  2. Place the cabbage in the beaker and fill it with 50 ml of water.

  3. Once the cabbage has boiled for 2 minutes turn it off and leave it to cool down.

  4. Once it has cooled remove the cabbage leaves and use the red water as

  5. an indicator.

Complete the quiz below:

The ph scale ranges from what numbers?

Name 4 substabces that are acidic?

Name 4 substances that are basic?

Name another pH indicator used in a science lab?

By using red cabbage as an indicator we can determine what the pH level is of

substances

Get safety glasses and make a blindfold.
Set up your chart and make sure that the person you are working with knows
where to record your responses.
Using an ice-cream stick you will dip it into the Sample.
Once the sample is on the stick you will taste it and tell your partner your response.
There will be 2 Answers.
At taste test one you need to hold your nose.
Answer 1. Is it sweet, sour, salty, bitter. Record it.

Tableau

 Hi 😁



Caption: In this tableau we where displaying a scene from the legend Maui you can see this because there are the 4 brothers on the waka and Maui is hiding underneath .

A) What worked well in this tableau ? : i think we used levels really well and we were not doing the same thing . 

B) What could they do to improve ? Maybe some more facial expressions and maybe focus a bit more on stillness and being a bit more serious .  

C) We are using levels with the four brothers on the waka and Maui very low under the waka and Maui using facial expressions .
