Budgeting Language Dictionary - BST

 In business studies, I have been tasked with creating a Budgeting Language Dictionary. I have included the meaning and why they relate to 'Budgeting', I have completed the task and presented it through 'slides'. It was interesting to find out what the words meant and how they relate to 'Budgeting'.


After doing the research and discovering the meanings and how the words relate to 'Budgeting', it was some fun since some I didn't know a few of them and what they meant. All of this stuff will be needed when you are older and need to bother with money and bills, it is important I will know about this even if this is basic but that doesn't stop the information from being helpful.

Do you think this information was useful or not? Why/why not?

Mixture & Dissolve experiment

 Mixing & dissolving

Mixing: Having two or more substances combine and become one

Dissolving: Having one or more substances combine after a mixture or when in contact with each other

Aim: To see which combination would have the sugar dissolve the best in the conditions they were put in; hot/cold, spatula worth of sugar and stir/no-stir

Method: Getting a beaker and putting either cold/hot water in it then some spatula end size of the sugar, stirring or not and then timing.

Results - bold: my group: Chris, Tobey, Lincoln, Tyson and Me

1. 50mL of cold water + 1 spatula of sugar, stir: 59s, 58s, 61s, 55s, 41s - total: 274sec, average: 54sec

2. 50mL of hot water + 1 spatula of sugar, stir: 25s, 26s, 37s, 31 - total:119sec, average: 29.75sec

3. 50mL of hot water + 1 spatula of sugar, no stir: 46s, 31s, 90s, 87s, 127s - Total: 381sec, average: 76.2sec

4. 50mL of cold water + 1 spatula of sugar, no stir: 41s, 31s, 156s, 231s, 360sec - Total: 819sec, average: 163.8sec

Discussion:

I learnt that depending on if there is stirring or none then it makes a big difference since with/without speed then the concluding of water and sugar speed up will be fast and with none then slow. It can also depend if there is heat or cold involve, heat makes particles move faster and the cold slows them down. If heat and stirring are combined then it will be much faster than cold and no stirring ( no duh). I found the low numbers on the tests which should have taken longer were low, which could mean there was tampering or pure luck.

World mapping of Earthquakes


In chaos, I have mapped Earthquakes, Researched one earthquake. I found the research interesting since I found out about places where terrible, high magnitude earthquakes took place and the times which they happened.
