Hurumanu - Science - Recycling

Aim: To learn practical ways of recycling so that we can make our world a better place.

The Zero Waste Climate Solution movie

How can we prevent climate change by recycling these products?

Plastics:
Cycling or walking: You won't have to use your car and buy fuel for your car.
Paper: You don't have to cut more and more trees down.
Steel: You will be going to need to use coal if we burn all of the steel we have at the moment.

Video questions:

What is Zero Waste?
One of the quickest and the cheapest ways a community can immediately reduce climate impact. What can we do on the planet?

1.   Recycle.
2.  Reuse.
3.  Reduce.
4. Redesign.

What do we need to recycle?

1. Plastic - Bottle's, Straw's 
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 kills 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 in the cities. 
2. Have Zero tolerance for littering.

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 the lights in a room if there isn't anyone in there.

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.

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.

NB ball.

The game that my group made is NB Ball. If you want to play it here are the rules, the aim and more. If you cant you can make the teams with lower people then 10 you can still play. You can even do it at a basketball hoop at parks or any thing like that that has a basketball hoop. When friends are over you should teach them how to play. Thanks if you liked it if you didn't like it that is also okay. it was fun at start they didn't know how to play but when they got the hang of it they loved it.

(NB ball)

Written by: Libby, Tehya , Kalea and Abby

Object	Shoot through the hoop and get as much as you can before the time runs out (30 minute timer)
Players	10 on each team but 7 on court and 3 subs
Equipment	Netball and basketball hoop
Scoring	You get as many points as you can in a 30 minute game
Winning	The team with the most points in the 30 minute timer wins the game
Rules	If your teammates other team or the coach catch you cheating you will get 1 warning and if you get 3 warnings than you will get disqualified Each time a player gets disqualified 1 of your subs goes on and when you have no more subs the other team wins the game You can bounce the netball and run with it like a basketball You can not give the ball to the other team You can kick the ball to your team if it is rolling on the ground When the ball gets kicked to you you can’t pick the ball up with your hands you have to use your feet(if you can’t pick the ball up with your feet than you can use 1 of your feet and 1 of your hands by rolling the the ball up your leg if you don’t want to do that you can do it the way you would like) No shoving or you get 1 warning and if you get 3 warnings than you get disqualified but you can put your arm out to stop the ball from getting through the hoop The further away you are from the hoop the more points you get( in the black circle its 1 point , to the yellow line its 5 points , red small circle it’s 10 points ,  in the big red circle outside of the small red circle it’s 11 points) You need to have fun!
