Iqbal paragraph


1 of 3 paragraphs

How were Iqbal's Human Rights affected?

Paragraph 1

Iqbal was a boy from Pakistan who became a symbol of abuse in child labor. Iqbal was given into child labor at a very young. This affected his right to education and his freedom in life, because he wasn’t able to learn and bae educated, Iqbal spent his childhood working 12 hours a day, 6 days a week with 30 minute breaks. Iqbal was spending so long working and trying to help provide for his family, that his childhood was taken to soon and he wasn’t able to play, learn or interacto with other kids and form friendship. This is one of the reasons why Iqbal human rights were taken away from him and why he is a symbol of abuse in child labor.

Chicken Leg Dissection

Aim: In this dissection, you will locate and describe the various tissues and structures of the drumstick and thigh of a chicken.

Materials: Chicken drumstick, with thigh, dissecting probe, scapel, dissecting scissors, paper towels, forceps, dissecting tray, gloves, disinfectant hand wash and spray.

Safety:
1. Wear gloves
2. Do not put anything in your mouth (fingers, pens, etc) during the dissection.
3. Wash your hand thoroughly atthe end of the dissection woth anitbacterial soap and hot water.
Ensure youe hands are dried after washing.
4. Spray surfaces with antibacterial soap.

Procedure:
1. Place the chicken leg on a dissecting tray and examine (look at ) the exterior features. The tough outer layer is called the epidermis (or skin). The small bumps covering the skin are where the feathers were attached.

2.Examine the lower leg. This is called the drumstick and it is the equivalent of your lower leg. The large muscle at the back of your leg is the same as your gastrocnemius. It also includes two bones-the tibia (the larger one) and the fibia (the thinner and smaller one).

3. Examine the upper leg. On both a chicken and a human this part is called the thigh. It contains a larger bone called  the femur.

4. Carefully pull your skin off by sliding it down and off the lower leg. You may need to use  your scalprl to remove it, but be careful not to cut any muscle tissue.

5. The yellowish material under the skin is fat (adipose).


6.The muscles of the leg, like all muscles, work in bundles. Separate a bundle of muscle by inserting your thumb into the muscles of the lower leg. You will notice that the muscle bundle is covered in a silvery lining called the  fascia and this makes it hard to separate. But if you push hard enough you eill tear it and that separating muscle bundled is a lot easier.

7. At either end of the muscles, you will see white cord-like tissue. These cords are called tendons. Tendons attach muscle to bone.

8. Using the scapel, carefully remove all the muscles from the lower leg. Using your dissection probe to examine any blood vessels you find and try to determine which muscles the blood is supplied to.

9.Near the bone you should see thin, thread-like strands. These are nerves.

10. Using the dissection scissors, cut across the tendons that join the muscles to the bones. Be careful not to cut any ligaments that attach bone to bone. You should end up with all the bones still attached to Each other, but no muscle tissue present.

11. Move the bomes around the joints. The main joint between the bones of the lower leg and the femur is a hinge joint like the ome in your knee. Note now the bones can move only in one plane.

12. Using your scapel, carefully cut the ligaments, keeping the bones together.

13. In the joint  between the bones is a piece of cartilage. Cartilage allows joints to move smoothly and protects the bones against shocks to the body part.

14. Break one Bone in half and examine the marrow. This is where blood cells are made.

15 clean up your work area. Ensure you clean your bench using antibacterial sprat. Wash your hand thoroughly eith plenty of antibacterial soap and water.

Aerobic Respiration

Aim: To release the energy within a 'cheezel' by burning it.

Equipment: Bunsen burner, Cheezel, Scissor tongs, heatproof mat and light it.

Method
1. Place your bunsen on a heatproof mat and light it.

2. Gently hold the Cheezel in the scissors tongs.

3 Ignite the Cheezel by placing one side of it in the bunsen flame.

4. When the Cheezel is alight, ensure you hold it over your heatproof mat.

Observations:

Science Anaerobic Respiration

Aim: To demonstrate the effects of anaerobic respiration (muscle fatigue.

Equipment: A spring-loaded clthes peg

Method1. Hold the clothes peg as shown in the diagram below
-diagram down below

2.Relax your fingers so that the peg closes all the way.
3. Squeeze your thumb and forefinger so the peg is fully open.

4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 as quickly as you can until you experience muscle fatigue.

Explain what type of respiration yoyr cells are using:

(A) at the beginning of the exercise.

Aerobic

(B)at the end of the exercise.

Anaerobic

Write an equation to summarise anaerobic respiration.


Explain why anaerobic respiration is considered 'wasteful' respiration.

Because the total energy yield from each glucose molecule is only a fraction of what is released when compared to aerobic respiration.

Week 3- Creative Writing

Creative Writing

15.02.17

In English we have  been working on Creative writing. We have written haiku's, a Sensory language paragraph and created a class padlet.  We wrote definitions of a metaphor and simile in own words. I have enjoyed these activities because they have opened up new ideas for myself when I am writing a paragraph.

 Over the last few days we learnt that in order to create a good piece of creative writing what do we need to do, so we created our padlet and wrote down ideas of what creates a good padlet. Last week My class and I create 4 haiku's. We found out that haiku's must have something that relates to the four seasons. 
The activity I enjoyed the most is writing a sensory language paragraph because I like the idea of pieces of writing that describes things you hear, see, feel, and smell, because you can almost imagine yourself being there.


Things We Have Done

Here is the link to our padlet we created:
https://padlet.com/jn23/gvebydw9s70a

Sensory Language Paragraph
I breathe in the bitter salty scent of the glistening seashells which surround the very tip of my toes. My taste buds dance to the saccharine wine that i gulp down my throat. The waves brush against my feet as gently as can be,
while the moons gleams brightly and the sweet tone of a nightingale singing the early hours away.

Metaphors and Similes
Metaphor- Something that makes you feel something. It is something True and untrue in a ordinary sense, and  make you see beyond things in reality and imagine the way it is. It is a figure of speech.


Similes- A comparison to one thing to another for example she ran as fast as cheetah

Metaphor
  • Something you feel
  • A metaphor is a tree, strong and natural
  • All the world’s a stage
  • Compares two things
  • Metaphor is a stronger feature to use.
  • A figure of speech.
  • Direct comparison.


Similes

  • Use the words “like” or “as”
  • Comparison from one thing to another.

Maths

14.02.18

Last week we learnt how to spot out patterns. We were given a sheet which had random shapes and patterns, we had to figure out some patterns on the piece of paper and group them using colour. Some groups were grouped because they went up in timetables while others, had similarities in the way they were formed.
