English Readtheory

25/05/18

             On readtheory, my grades went up to grade 10 but I didn't focus today so my grades went down to grade 8. To improve I need to focus more and read it more carefully next time so I don't get confused on what I'm going to answer and what the answer is. I currently have 1052 KP (Knowledge Points), I did 33 quizzes these past few days and I'm hoping to get my grades up.

She broke her shoes while riding her scooter, she had a hard time choosing her new shoes but eventually, she found what she likes the most.

             I am curious about why north and south Korea split. I found out that it began with Russia and Japan fighting for the control of the country in 1904, Japan used its victory to annexe Korea in 1910, having already installed a puppet leader. Emperor Sunjong was the last 'united' Korean leader and the last emperor in a dynasty stretching back 500 years. When the Japanese empire was dismantled at the end of World War Two, Korea fell victim to the Cold War. It was divided into two spheres of influence along the 38th parallel. The Americans controlled south of the line - the Russians installed a communist regime in the north, later ceding influence to China.

Diffusion






Observations:
              At first the purple stuff stays in the middle and the purple stuff in the hot water spreads quicker than the purple stuff in the cold water. after a few minutes they started spreading but the hot water is making the purple stuff spread quicker and the cold water is slow at spreading the purple stuff. The cold water prevents the particles of the purple stuff to spread quickly inside the dish.

Science





When putting the ball and the ring on the fire for the first time the particles on the solid is still not moving that much and it's still the same color but after 30 seconds the ring and the ball started to change color.

The hole turned bronze because of the heat energy put in the particles, it also expands a little bit. It glows a red if put on the Bunsen burner for too long. Once placed in cold water, the wet substance sizzles causing smoke to arise. Once the hole calms down, it turns back to a lighter shade of gold.

The ball transitions from bronze to purple, it doesn’t turn red. Once put in cold water the ball causes the wet substance to sizzle uncontrollably making water fly in different directions. 

Now putting both the hole and ball on top of the fire, both turned silver.

Upon putting it through each other , the ball is a bit hard to put in through the hole and put for both metal have lost some width. It is still possible for both to pass through each other.

The hole and the ring expands because of the heat energy added in the particles. The movement of the particles became more violent and it started to expand.
