Charcoal water purifying

 In science I am starting the science fair projects. The topic I chose is purifying water with charcoal. I have to identify the topic I chose and investigate how it is useful. Water filters use a special type of charcoal known as activated charcoal' to purify water. The activated charcoal is able to remove the food colouring from the water. The food colouring molecules bind with the charcoal and come out of the water solution.  My hypothesis is   I think that charcoal can purify and remove molecules from water. I don't think that charcoal has a direct  impact on the health of our body but I do believe it can purify water and that's what I’ll be testing.

Leadership within our school

 Kia ora in social studies I have been looking into the leaders in our school and what they do. I had to create a diagram of the system of leadership within our school  including the titles of positions. I learnt that there are important roles in and out of our school, for example we have prefects and a principal in our school and out of our school we have the Ministry of education. This topic is similar to the NZ leader report that I done because they both talk about what a good leader is but they differ in the aspects such as leaders in our school make differences within in our kura where as NZ leaders made a big impact on our country but who's to say we can't do that either. Leadership is just a word until you put a meaning to it and I learnt that the leaders in and out of our school do that. Overall I learnt a lot about what leaders are and I am grateful for the things they do big or little.
