Steps Team Task
A metaphor is a figure of
speech in which an implied comparison is made between two unlike things that
actually have something important in common. The word metaphor itself is a
metaphor, coming from a Greek word meaning to "transfer" or
"carry across." Metaphors "carry" meaning from one word,
image, or idea to another.
Armpit feels that the way
to turn his life around is to set goals for himself. His five goals are:
graduate from high school; get a job; save money; avoid violent situations; and
lose the name Armpit.
Armpit’s counsellor said
that his life would be like walking
upstream in a rushing river. The secret
was to take small steps and just keep moving forward. If he tried to take too big a step, the
current would knock him off his feet and carry him back downstream.
Instructions: Use your own ideas and
possible real-life experiences as examples to explain the meaning of this
metaphor. 3. Math 5.4

Science:
Solutes & Solvents
Solution: a mix of 2 or more kinds of particles; one
particle dissolves into the other particle
Every solution is made up of 2 parts: a solute and a
solvent
Solute – small part of a solution; Solvent – large part
of a solution
i.e. ice tea powder (solute) dissolves into larger part
water (solvent)
cocoa powder (solute) dissolves into larger part warm
milk (solvent)
besides water, other solvents include:
·
turpentine (paint from paint brush
dissolves into turpentine rendering them clean)
·
ethanol (perfumes/fragrances)
·
ethyl acetate (nail polish)
these above solvents are used because water will not
dissolve the pure substances used to create paint/nail/perfume solutions.
Air is a gas solution made up of other gases including
nitrogen, argon, oxygen, carbon dioxide, contaminants/impurities from
pollution.
i.e. car tailpipe emissions (solute) dissolving into
air (solvent)
i.e. plastic chemicals in can’s liner (solute) dissolve
into water/canned fruits/veggies (solvent)
Lake Ontario which provides us with drinking water is a
solvent because all the by-products (waste) of living gets dissolved into it
but are filtered/purified out of it by our filtration plants along Lakeshore
Blvd.
Waste: household sewage, products poured down drain,
industrial waste
pg.27/#3
salt minerals (solute) dissolved in ocean water
(solvent) state: liquid
chemical fragrances (solute) dissolved in air mass
(solvent) state: gas
zinc (solute) dissolved in copper (solvent) state:
solid metal
