science. Hurumanu recycling

How can we prevent climate change by recycling these products?

Plastics:
Cycling or walking: you won't have to use your car And bye fuel for your car. 
Paper: You don't have to cut more and more trees down.
Steel: You will have to go and use coal if we burn all o the steel we have at the moment 


Video questions:


What is Zero Waste?
one of the quickest and cheapest ways a community can immediately reduce climate impact

What can we do on the planet?


  1.   Redesign 
  2.   Recycle
  3.  Reduce
  4.  Reuse 
What do we need to recycle?  
  1. Plastic-Bottles, Straws,
  2. Paper
  3. Cardboard-Box's


What does recycling do? 
cuts down more plastic that is on the land, and if we don't recycle things it can kill our animals in the sea

How much of our rubbish is food scraps?


What does soil due to carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

What do we need to do?
  1. Make People stop littering. 
  2. Have Zero tolerance for lettering.

What is a carbon footprint?


How can you make your Carbon Footprint smaller?


ENERGY SAVING TIPS FILM


Name 4 of the tips.

  1.   Turn off your lights in your room if you ain't there
  2.   Turn off all the switches that you plug in your electricity 
  3.   



AT WHAT RATES DO DIFFERENT ITEMS DECOMPOSE?

MY INVESTIGATION.


Image result for rates of decomposition


Choose 5 items from the list and investigate them. 
Aluminum can:
plastic:

milk carton: 
plastic glass: 



You need to answer three questions.

Name: Latisha

  1. How long do they take to decompose? 
Aluminum can:200-500 years
glass bottle: One million years.
plastic:3-4 weeks
milk carton: Five years
plastic glass: 450 years

     1. What resource/fossil fuel are they made from?
      

  1. How is this resource recycled?
  2. How does this object contribute to climate change?
I have three goals to try and achieve my three goals

charlesworth reserve

Hi today I will be talking to you about what we did yesterday with Wh and Ts, yesterday we went to Charlesworth reserve to plant some searush and all kinds of plants soon I'll show you some pictures but right now I'm going to tell why we did it.




We went to Charlesworth reserve because we needed more plants because they were all dying so Al & Wh and Ts did 100 plants some people were just finding krabs but it was fun. What we also did is we picked up some rubbish by miter 10.  So what miter 10 do is they put their rubbish in the back but it flies away so we picked up some rubbish and put it in a plastic bag so Andrew can take it away after all that we went onto the bus and some people went in some vans we all got into the vans and bus and went straight back to school when we got back everyone but Wh went back into Al to play sleeping lions or went to go have a run.                                                                                                                                                 



Know I'm going to tell who went with the student's, so with us we had Rachel Mr. Tisch Mrs. Allan Andrew villi and whaea jo and also our teacher who took us everywhere Andrew, know I'm going to tell you when we did our trip, we did our trip yesterday/Wednesday on the 3-7-19, wait did I tell you how we did our plants and how we picked up the rubbish so how we did the plants is we got into a group of two and one person had a shovel and the other person had to put the plant in and then we had to do another plant so what we did is we kept on doing in until we had to go to miter 10. Know I'm going to tell you how we picked up the rubbish. So what we did is we got into pairs again and we needed gloves after we did all that we went to go find rubbish in the bushes and by the footpath and that is how we did our day.



After all that we went on the vans and bus to go straight to school, it was a fun day yesterday and we all got along and did what we needed to do and we all listened we did what we needed to do and there was no trouble at all. I just want to say thanks for the good day yesterday and thanks for looking after all of us teachers.

Know I'm going to show you some photos of what we did.

here is a group photo.





here are some people eating there lunch




this is all us listening what to do





and here is some people doing plants.


That is what we did yesterday thanks to everyone who made it a good day and thanks to teachers!!!










science week 6 term 2

Hurumanu: The Water Cycle


AIM: TO LOOK AT THE WATER CYCLE AND HOW CLIMATE CHANGE IS AFFECTING IT.

Definition:



A green box with icons and white text. Text reads: Where is Earth's Water? 96.5 percent is in the oceans; 1.7 percent is in lakes, rivers, streams, and soil; 1.7 percent is in polar ice caps, glaciers, and permanent snow; 0.001 percent is in water vapor in Earth's atmosphere

Scientific words:


  • Evaporation. When water is heated by radiant energy it turns into water vapor.
  • Transpiration. Evaporation from plants.
  • Condensation. When water vapor cools, molecules join together and form clouds.
  • Precipitation. When clouds get heavy the waters falls as rain, sleet, hail, or snow.
  • Acidification: the action or process of making or becoming acidic.

We will be conducting an experiment that looks at the different ways that climate change is affecting the water cycle.
An illustration of the water cycle showing how water travels from rivers and streams to clouds to snow and back again

THE WATER CYCLE EXPERIMENT

Bag 1: Normal Water cycle
Bag 2: Water cycle with CO2 added: like Oceans in climate change
Bag 3: Water cycle with ice added: like Antarctica in climate change

Conclusion:






Draw a labeled diagram of the Water Cycle

Water cycle words:
  1. Precipitation, the action or process of precipitating a substance from a solution.
  2. Hurricanes, a storm with a violent wind, in particular, a tropical cyclone in the Caribbean.
  3.  storms, a violent disturbance of the atmosphere with strong winds and usually rain, thunder, lightning, or snow.
  4. Evaporation the process of turning from a liquid into vapor
  5. Carbon Dioxide a colorless, odorless gas produced by burning carbon and organic compounds and by respiration. It is naturally present in the air (about 0.03 percent) and is absorbed by plants in photosynthesis.
  6. Water a colorless, transparent, odorless liquid that forms the seas, lakes, rivers, and rain and is the basis of the fluids of living organisms.
  7. Oceans a very large expanse of sea, in particular, each of the main areas into which the sea is divided geographically.
  8. Water vaporwater vapor or aqueous vapor is the gaseous phase of water. It is one state of water within the hydrosphere. Water vapor can be produced from the evaporation or boiling of liquid water or from the sublimation of ice. Unlike other forms of waterwater vapor is invisible.
  9. The freshwater of or found in fresh water; not of the sea.
  10. Flooding is when the water is flooding everywhere like the flood/water can break houses and all kinds of things.
