Cce(job ambitions)

My job ambition is to be a veterinarian.vet or a veterinarian, is someone who gives animal medical treatment. They are doctors for animals. There are many different types of veterinarians; some work with small animals, large farm animals, or wild animals. Veterinarians learn to treat all animals, but sometimes work with a specific type. Other veterinarians specialize in a particular type of medicine - for example, veterinary dermatologists work with animals with skin problems. Finally, some veterinarians do research on animal or human diseases.While there is no veterinary education offered by universities in Singapore, scholarships can be obtained from AVA.

Soil results for soil experiment(Science)


Title: How different types of soil affect the volume of water that pass through it
Introduction: Different types of soil have different size of soil particles
The Aim: To find out if the type of soil affects the amount of water collected in the beaker after 2 minutes
Experimental Design:














Procedures:
1. Set up the 3 experiment as the above design, 1 with top soil, 1 with clay and the other with sand
2. Collect 3 measuring cylinder and measure 150ml of water in each of them
3. Pour all 3 measuring cylinders of water into the 3 experiments at the same time. Start the stopwatch when you started pouring the water into the experiments
4.after 30 seconds , stop the stopwatch and take out the beaker from the experiment.
5, Measure and write down the amount of water collected in the beaker for the 3 experiments
6. Repeat steps 1 to 5 another time and find the average between the first and the second time to make sure the results are reliable

The results:

















Analysis and Discussion of Results:
The sand allows the most amount of water to pass through. Why? There is the most air holes in the sand. What does this show you? The particles of sand is the largest, so when the particles are bigger, there is a larger empty space which is taken by air. When water is poured, the water pushes the air out and creates a way for the water to pass through

Conclusion
Task 1:Clay is the best soil to be used in sand bags to build the levee. As we want least water to pass through. From the experiment, clay allows the least amount of water to pass through that is why it is the best soil to be used in the sand bag to build a levee

Task 2: Section B should be the place to build the levee first. As the soil there is clay, it allows the least volume of water to sip into the ground to absorb water while the top soil and sand allows more water to sip into the ground. So when water comes in,more water can sip into the top soil and sand as there is more air holes to allow water to go into it, thus we need to build the levee at section B first

Area for Further Research and Study:
Which soil is used for which plants?
A cactus should be grown on the sand, as the soil should be porous and spread over a deep layer, showing that it need that soil which allows the most water to pass through

Cce(cyber wellness)

5/3/14
For today's cce lesson,we talk about cyber wellness.Before today's cce lesson,I thought that cyber wellness was something that was not important.But after today's lesson,I ,learnt that cyber wellness involves an understanding of the risks of harmful online behaviour, an awareness of how to protect oneself and other Internet users from such behaviour.I also learnt not to give someone you just met on the internet your personal information.I was also informed that many people are being cyber bullied.Many people nowadays use technology for the wrong purpose.Technology should be used for studies,entertainment and surfing the internet.But some people misuse it and use it to bully others.I also learnt that we should mind our language when we type a comment.We should try not to use capital letters although you are trying to express your anger.
