Modeling a System Using Candles- ESS Experiment

I am an ESS student and a few days ago we had an experiment called “Modeling a system Using Candles.” The steps of this experiment are: 


1. Carefully light the piece of paper whilst holding it over the enamel dish. Drop the paper into the dish before you burn your fingers.
2. Observe the way in which the fire develops and then dies away.
3. Light the candle observing how the flame develops. Drop some molten wax into the bottom of the dish so that you can stand the candle up on its own.
4. Light a splint and then blow out the candle. Relight the candle bringing the splint towards the wick, watch carefully to see if it is necessary to touch the wick with the flame to relight it.
5. Extinguish the candle and allow the wax to cool down completely. Relight the candle (is it necessary to touch the wick with the flame?) and observe the candle flame.


After the experiment we are supposed to write a lab report explaining the outcomes of the experiments and what our observations were, there is a lab report format we are supposed to follow.

ESS Experiment on Soil

  As the new term begins, so does a new experiment for ESS. These experiments are really fun for students as they can gain lab work experience and are beneficial because of the lab report that has to be done following it. For DP1, we are starting the chapter of Soil Systems and Society. Soil is a necessity on Earth and one of the roles is that it helps to grow plants. Our experiment was to analyze two samples of soils, garden soil and roadside soil. With these two samples we found its pH, moisture, water capacity and texture. It is important to understand these qualities in soil because when they are in a certain condition, it is the best for growing plants.   This experiment was very messy, but it was enjoyable. The students were divided into three groups and it was a new experience for everyone. Although we have done experiments before, we did not use some of the apparatus used in this experiment, so it was a new challenge for us. Equipment such as the dropper, glass rod...

Understanding the Role of Propaganda

  A few days ago in English class we had a task of creating posters on propaganda. The aim was to understand the role of propaganda in spreading views and how it shapes people’s mindset.     What is propaganda? Propaganda is communication that is primarily used to influence or persuade an audience to further an agenda, which may or may not be objective and may include selectively presenting facts to encourage a particular synthesis or perception, or using loaded language to elicit an emotional rather than a rational response to the information being presented.    International propaganda aims to influence global audiences' attitudes and ideas, modify their connection with their home governments, or offer an alternative view of their own and the world's conditions.   The novel we are studying in class, 1984 has a key theme which is propaganda. In the novel, the Party's main and most successful weapon is utilized to deceive, confuse, and contro...
