1. Moral maturity: it is measured by marking the level of moral judgement of people. Maturity can be called as “growing up”. Moral maturity is required by a person to judge situations and choices, their benefits and losses, and their effects on other aspects.

2. The 25 year old man had no moral maturity. This can be seen in his action e.g. he ran away when he was being arrested, spat on officers and resisted arrest.

Today, I completed the table of reactions that we did last lesson. I recorded my results, and added the results I did not record. This gave me a good idea on how to conduct experiments, the safety precautions and safety gear required. Doing these experiments to observe the reactions gave me a real life experience of these reactions, what they look like and how to identify them.

This lesson I have filled out the peer evaluation form for my last project. My group and I have also discussed what exactly we need to find out in order to carry out this project.

Once we find out everything, the project will be nearly complete.

This lesson was very important to the understanding of this project. We learnt on how to recognise whether a chemical reaction is occuring or not. We learnt the things that can be seen to know whether or not a chemical reaction is occuring. This is very important in this project, as without being able to recognise a chemical change, it cannot be identified and researched. This lesson I have learnt, shered and listened to the different views of recognising chemical reactions. Some of the chemical reactions I learned about are:

1. Metal deposits on metals
