Science - Week 3

AIM: TO LOOK AT THE WATER CYCLE AND how cLIMATE CHANGE IS AFFECTING IT.

Definition:

Water cycle

1. The cycle of processes by which water circulates between the earth's oceans, atmosphere, and land, involving precipitation as rain and snow, drainage in streams and rivers, and return to the atmosphere by evaporation and transpiration.

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.

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

Material:

1.  Plastic zip lock bag.
2.  Vivid marker.
3.  One cup of water.
4.   2 drops of food colouring.

Steps:

1.  One person needs to get the plastic zip lock bag and a vivid marker.
2.  Draw a water cycle on the bag.
3. Get a cup of water.
4.  Get a teacher to put two drops of blue food colouring in.
5. Hang the bag up on a wall and wait.

Two Images:

This is my groups first normal experiment.

My Groups soda water experiment.

Findings:

Conclusion:

Material:

1. Plastic zip lock bag.
2. Vivid marker.
3. One cup of soda water.
4. 2 drops of food colouring.
5. Litmus paper.

Steps:

1. Get a plastic zip lock bag.
2. Draw on the plastic zip lock bag.
3. Put one cup of soda water in the plastic zip lock bag.
4. Get the teacher to put in two drops of blue food colouring.
5. Hang the bag up on a wall and wait.

Charlesworth reserve

The classes who are going to Charlesworth reserve are AL WH and TS are going to Charlesworth reserve to plant native trees for native animals to live on/in here are some images of the place:

And more.

The government wants us to plant 1 Billion trees there for more native animals to come along to Charlesworth reserve and have a good life. What we will be planting Native plants for native animals to have a wonderful life in the freedom that they have. People might wonder who charlesworth is named after well i can answer that the reserve is named after Ceafl. And it is also a walk to go do so if you haven't gone to the walk you should try it then. If you are wondering who is the captain of Charlesworth reserve it is Christchurch City Council.

Science

Aim: To look at the causes of climate change and how to prevent it.

Climate Change video; The Facts video

As you watch the video answer these questions:

What is our greatest threat in thousands of years?

How do we see climate change affecting the globe?

1.   cars and truck ext. are bad because they make the air into pa-looted air that us humans breath in.
2.   Plants, if u give them too much water the will drown and die like humans basically but plants give us humans oxygen to breath in. 
3. our threat is that people wont remember this world and it will just be a giant ocean of water and there will be no one on earth living.
4.   without plants there wont be oxygen without oxygen there wont be people without people there wont be anything accept a planet of water. no land just water.

What is needed to change history?

Is climate change a man made distaster?

Dramaitc action must be made in the next __ years to change it?

Why is our climate changing?

What is causing the warming trend of the climate?

What is the main problem?

What are examples of these?

Burning fossil fuels releases what gas?

How much hotter now is our world?

What do we call this global warming?

How is this affecting creatures / animals like bats?

What percentage of species are near exteinction?

How could this effect the world ecosystems?

What global change was seen and recording breaking last year?

How is climate change affecting our weather systems?

1. 

2. 

3. 

What is another ettect of climate change?

What will happen if the ice melts in Antarctica and the Arctic?

How does this affect people?

What other things affect oceans change?

What does to much heat do to coral?

Why did some industries not want to stop burning fossil fuels?

Investigation

You can decide on how you would like to do this investigation. Your presentation could be on the blog, slides, or power point.

Investigate the different Fossil Fuels listed?

1. Coal
2. Oil

Write a paragraph and upload an image about each of these renewable energies.

Solar

Wind

Waves

Write a reflection about what you have learnt about Climate Change and how it is going to affect 

Coal can affect us and our climate change by Coal causes global warming, which is linked with extreme weather and wildfires. Climate change is coal's most serious, long-term, global impact. Chemically, coal is mostly carbon, which, when burned, reacts with oxygen in the air to produce carbon dioxide, a heat-trapping gas.

Abby's Game

Hi I am Abby, in my group we have been looking at stopping littering

Aim/WALT:

1. We researched 3 kaitiaki they are:

Tangaroa - Oceans/Water

Tanemahuta - Land/People

Tawhirimatea - Air/Wind

I researched these to learn about them. 

2.We did coding on code.org or Code of hour. The aim of the games were to get a certain player safely to where the end is. There were different 

I made a game, this is the link to the game:

 https://gamefroot.com/game/abbys-game

In Reflection: I wish i could have more levels in my game next time and to have more time to finish it. From the start, i have now learnt how to make a game online and publish it.

If you have any questions then comment them bellow.
