Water Treatment Plant

Last Thursday we(our class) was on a field trip. In science and social studies we learned about water and now still are. We went to the field trip to see how they make the river water in Jakarta, that is very dirty, clean.

Step 1: They use a gate to capture the big garbage. They have to clean it every hour so it can capture the other garbage even better. When they wouldn't clean it at all then the garbage would just pile and the water cannot get through. That can cause flooding.
The reason why they do this is to stop the big garbage from coming to the water that they want to clean. I wonder how much garbage there is in that one hour.

Step 2: The water treatment plant oxygenates and adds minerals to the water. They do this to give the water oxygen. I am wondering why they do this.

Step 3: In this step they add alum. The dirt gathers together. I would like to know how the alum does that.

Step 4: Now they let the water sit for a while. The water sediments. That means that the clumps of dirt fall to the ground of the water.

Step 5: There is a layer of sand that is 1meter high. It filters the water even more. I was wondering how often they wash the filter.

Home

This is is my cat Maxi, she looks soooo cute. I think she feels comfortable with these stuffed animals. Maxi has a sister that she lives with. Her sisters name is Felix. Felix is a bit older than Maxi and they both are five years old. Our friends had these cats before and after they had them three years they had to leave Jakarta and we took the cats. I am sooo glad that I finally have a picture of Maxis face. It's hard to take a picture of both of the cats. It's because they move too much or don't look in the camera.

In Country Woods we have a model of the Residence. This is a part of it. I guess almost everybody who has ever been to Country Woods knows the leisure pool with the slide that out of order. Well this is the model of it. I like those kind of models because they are in 3D and look so real. I call this statue a Green haired man because of his green hair that he has only in the rainy season. In the dry season his hair are dried out because his hair are maid out of grass. This is the slide that is out of order. When it would be in order then you would come out of the man's mouth. I think it's pretty disgusting to come out of a persons mouth and to me he looks like a person that is only stoned.





The yellow colored circle shows my house on the model. It feels weird to see my house in a very small way. Actually my house looks slightly different in real. I don't only mean that in real life it's bigger, but also that we did some renovation in the front and the model is an old one. That's why it looks that different.

Bike Tour in Bali

My family and I went for a bike tour in Bali. It was raining and we had to wear rain coats. The rain coats were big and not dry. It was hard to ride, but we managed.
I was cold and wet. When we were already half way my bike slipped into the mud and I was in the mud with my feet and hands. My shoes and feet were buried in the mud. I stood up a while later. It was hard, because the bike was on me. But I somehow did it. I just couldn't ride anymore when I was so tired and just walked, because it was easier. But not as easy as I thought it would be while I had muddy shoes.
It’s not nice to walk or ride with muddy shoes. I felt pain in my legs and never gave up walking. I was super tired of the weather and bike tour that still didn't come to an end. I was walking by the others with all my faith.
As we finished with the ride I first had to wash my shoes and feet before we ate lunch. We ate rice with sate. For that kind of food it tasted pretty good, but not as good as the food my mother cooks. There was a car that brought us home to the hotel.
As we came to the hotel we all had to take a shower, because we all were dirty. After taking a shower my brother and I read our own books. After I finally finished the whole book, I was so happy about it. I first took a very little nap and then went swimming in the pool we had right next our room. We could just open a small door and right in front of us was the pool. I couldn't swim, because I was so tired, but it was nice and refreshing in the pool. I went to bed earlier than usual.

This is my first movie and I hope you enjoy it.

As the picture shows, evaporation is the process where water molecules raise from water to the atmosphere forming clouds.

Precipitation is condensed moisture that falls to the ground as rain, sleet, snow, or freezing rain

Infiltration is the process by which water on the ground surface enters the soil.
