Social studies

 What I have been learning in social studies :)

I'm gonna mention a few if not all things I have learnt in social studies the past week. 

• Racism towards Muslim community/Zeinab's Writing.
• Dawn raids/Jacinda Ardern's apology.
• Asian hate/Simu Liu's post.

These all kind of relate to the same thing, it all has to do with how people treat other races and how racism is such a big thing everywhere. My personal opinion on this all is that it's really sad and upsetting how so many people go through the same type of discrimination just based on their race. Asian people getting called names and bullied just about the corona virus, Polynesian families being dragged out of their homes early in the morning to get taken away and questioned and all of the racism towards Muslim people. None of it is right and I just don't understand how it got this way, I want to help somehow with everything that happens even just by raising awareness helps and knowing that it's wrong. 

DNA Extraction Experiment - Science

 Aim: To find DNA in kiwifruit.

Method: 

- Mush half a kiwifruit in a zip lock bag with a splash of water and small teaspoon of salt. 

- Strain the solution through a cloth into a beaker.

- Add a squirt of dish washing liquid and stir. 

- Pour into a test tube.

- Place the test tube in a beaker filled with WARM water. 

- Leave for 10 mins.

- Slowly pour 5mL of methylated spirits down the side of the test tube.

Results: 

Discussion: Where do you find DNA?DNA is located in the nucleus in forms of chromosomes. What makes up DNA? DNA is made up of genes, genes are sections of DNA, your traits like your hair colour, eye colour ect. 

Conclusion: Did it work? would you do anything differently? It did work very well we managed to separate the solution and found the DNA. I wouldn't do anything differently.
