Climbing Reflection

I think I did did bouldering moderately okay, but my height isn't that good and my top distance is the red line. I can get across 8 panels without falling off but that does take me quite a while to traverse.

Sushi

My favourite food is sushi. It's a great source of protein and fish oil. Homemade sushi is best because you can use wholegrain rice, which is a good source of grain. Vinegar, the main ingredient in making "sushi" rice, lowers your cholesterol, triacylglycerol, and makes you less likely to eat more fatty foods, so it decreases your obesity.

Water Polo Reflection

I think I played by the rules okay. I have to work on passing. I moved into space and caught okay. I did okay in defence, but my offence didn't quite work out.

Flag Football Reflection



I think I worked as an okay team player, although my catching skill needs work. I made no real plans, but I followed my teams plans pretty distinctly. We all followed the rules. I was a lot better at moving on and off the ball. I think I could throw a spiral pass a good distance and still quite accurately but I still have to improve my ability to run with the ball.

pH Scales!

The pH scale is numbered from 0 (or -5 in the case of super acids) to 14, 0-7 being acidic and 7-14 being basic, or alkaline. 7 is neutral (like water) and is neither acidic nor basic. pH is the amount of activity of solvated hydrogen ion in an object. This value is determined by adding the object to universal indicator paper that changes colour according to the pH value of the chemical. It is made of water, propan-1-olphenolphthalein sodium salt, sodium hydroxide, methyl redbromothymol blue, monosodium salt, and thymol blue monosodium salt. The pH scale is logarithmic, and works in powers of ten. For example, an acid with a pH value of 2 will be 10 to the power of 2 times more acidic than one with a pH value of 4.
