Cimate change

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?

- Climate Change

How do we see climate change affecting the globe?

1.  Floods     
2.   Winds
3.   Storms
4.    Heat Waves

What is needed to change history?

- Take Action

Is climate change a man made disaster?

- Yes, because we are burning fossil fuels

Dramatic action must be made in the next ten years to change it?

Why is our climate changing?

- Because of one simple fact = Our world is getting hotter

What is causing the warming trend of the climate?

- Human Activities

What is the main problem?

- We are all using energy all the time and in the industrial world that energy is almost entirely fossil fuels

What are examples of these?

Burning fossil fuels releases what gas?

- Carbon Dioxide

How much hotter now is our world?

- Over 400

What do we call this global warming?

How is this affecting creatures / animals like bats?

- The heat

What percentage of species are near extinction?
- Some animals are not use to the climate change changing 

How could this effect the world ecosystems?

- 8 Percent

What global change was seen and recording breaking last year?

- Wildfire

How is climate change affecting our weather systems?

The amount of water vapor in the atmosphere has in fact increased due to human- caused warming 

      

- This extra moisture is available to storm systems & heavier rainfalls.                          

 1.  Evaporating of the oceans 

2.  When there is no moisture in the air, your gonna get more rain

3.  With a degree Celsius of warming, there is no moisture 

What is another effect of climate change?

- As the climate change warms, it changes the nature of global rainfall, evaporation, snow,stream flow and other factors that affect water supply and quality. 

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

- If the Antarctic ice melted, sea levels around the world rise above 61 meters 
(200 Feet). But the average temperature in Antarctica is - 37 Celsius, so the ice there is in no danger of melting.

How does this affect people?

What other things affect oceans change?

          - Due to climate change, as the ocean gets warmer, this too has an effect on the                                                                   seafloor. 

What does to much heat do to coral?

- Rising ocean temperatures can kill corals. Humans pumping more and more       greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and that is trapping excess heat and causing the surface of the planet to warm.

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 PowerPoint.

Write a definition, upload an image and list where these fossil fuels are mined.

1. Coal
2. Oil
3. Natural Gas

- Coal is a hard rock which can be burned as a solid fossil fuel

- A viscous liquid derived from petroleum, especially for use as fuel or lubricant.   

- Flammable gas, consisting largely of methane and other hydrocarbons, occurring naturally underground 

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

1. Solar
2. Wind
3. Waves
4. Hydro

Solar energy is radiant light and heat from the sun, energy is the ability to do work, and "solar" is a Latin word for the sun. So, we can define solar energy as energy obtained from the sun, we can put this energy to work for us in many ways, from heating water and living spaces within our homes to generating electrical energy. Wind energy is an electrical energy obtained fro  m harnessing the wind with windmills or wind turbines. Wave energy, aka ocean energy or sea wave energy, is energy harnessed from the ocean or sea waves... Exactly, waves are created by the wind that passes over the oceans surface. Flowing water creates, energy that can be captured and turned into electricity, this is called hydroelectric power or hydro power. The most common type of hydroelectric power plant uses a dam on a river to store water in a reservoir.

China is the world leader in wind power generation

The National Energy Board of Canada expects that by 2040, solar power will generate 1.2% of the country's electricity while wind will provide 9.5%.

= Hydroelectricity is the largest renewable energy source in Canada, approximately 60 percent of Canada's electricity generation.

Write a 6 sentence reflection about what you have learnt about Climate Change and how it is going to affect us.  

In science Hurumanu we watched a facts video about climate change and while watching the video, we had to try and answer some questions based on climate change. I learnt some new things about climate change that i didn't know before. First of all I learnt that our climate is changing, simply because our world is getting hotter. I also learnt that the main problem is that we are all using energy all the time and in the industrial world that energy is almost entirely fossil fuels. I think climate change is going to affect peoples lives and health which I hope not, the reason why I think this is because according to World Health Organization, Air pollution kills an estimated 7 million people worldwide every year.

This is my DLO

Mindfulness

This term in CIP we have been watching a video Called The mindfulness colour. When you watch the video it feels like you want to do the colouring. The video was about keeping you or self calm and relaxes .We talk about how it makes you calm and it helps you when you are mad. You can get it from the warehouse or the $2 shop and pak n save. We are doing it with the primary school so there is Hornby primary  school and Gilbertharpes school,St bernadettes. We should send lots of letter to the schools. I really like what we are doing from CIP.

I like colouring and drawing it is fun for me to do and you should try this at your school and see what it is like to do. I hope you like this and please leave a comment.n

Art

Today in art we have been leading about quentin Blake. 5 facts about quentin Blake. I love learning about quentin Blake it is fun learning about him.

1. Quentin Blake was born in December the 16th 1932 that makes him 86 year old
2. Quentin Blake. He did his first drawing & he published when he was 16 years old
3.Quentin Blake. He went to the Royal college of arts and he was there for 20 years
4Quentin Blake was the illustrated and he did 300 books
5 Quentin Blake. He was the including over 30 years and he wrote it by himself

Kindness

Today we have been watching a video about caring for each other. The video was about this little girl and her brother and the nana. When she went to go and get the cake this man came and give her the cake. There didn't have a enough to buy the cake. So the man buy the cake for the little girl but the nana said no. He said pls take the cake. So the nana said okay I will take the cake. He was talk about his story that when he was a little boy he want to buy a cake but the mum didn't get the cake because she didn't have a enough money to buy the yummy delicious cakes  for her son. It was his birthday today. So the little girls grandad buy him a cake and the mum said can I have you phone numbers. He didn't write his phone he said a simple act of caring creates an endless ripple and that will come back to you. He saw the letter and he was so happy. So he said thank you. The little girl and her brother and the nana was going home. The cute little girl went home and said papa papa I got you a cake for your birthday. The grandad saw the letter that the queue wrote to him it said a simple act of caring creates an endless ripple.    I hope you like this and pls leave a comment.

Math

Hi guys toady I'm am going to talk about Ten and the one collmns. I am going to solve this problem on my blog post. I hope you like this and please leave a comment on my blog. I have 35 plus 68 I am going to teach you how to solve this problems. There is the answer.

                                         T|O 

                                      35+ 73=108

                                         5+3=8

                                        3+7=10

 So the Ones is the 5 and  the 3

The Ten is the 3 and the 7
