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 though recycling these products?

Plastics:   there lese is in the world.

Cycling or walking:  that there is no gas .

Paper: we have some more clean air.

Steel:  there is not that much gas.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS FILM

Name 4 of the tips.

1.   Not use coal
2.   Not use gas 
3.   Not use oil 
4. Put rubbish in the rubbish bin

AT WHAT RATES DO DIFFERENT ITEMS DECOMPOSE?

MY INVESTIGATION.

Choose 5 items from the list and investigate them. 

• Paper 
• Leaves 
• Glass bottles 
• Plastic bottle 
• Plastic bags 

Paper 

It takes 2 to 4 week to break down. It give as air 

Step 1: The recipe. We use sand, limestone, soda ash and recycled glass(cullet) in our glass recipe. 

Step 2: Melting. 

Step 3: Molten Glass Separation. 

Step 4: Forming & Moulding. 

Step 5: Annealing. 

Step 6: Inspection.

Step 7: Packing & Shipping. 

Step 8: Recycling.

Leaves 

1 to 3 months to break down. It make compost.

Step 1 trees

Step 2 water 

Step 3 sunlight 

Glass bottles 

It takes 500 to 1000 years to break down . They make roads.

Step 1: The recipe. We use sand, limestone, soda ash and recycled glass(cullet) in our glass recipe. 

Step 2: Melting.

Step 3: Molten Glass Separation. 

Step 4: Forming & Moulding. 

Step 5: Annealing. 

Step 6: Inspection. 

Step 7: Packing & Shipping.

Step 8: Recycling.

Plastic bottles 

It takes 400 to 500 year to break down .People make roads and clothes.

How to make plastic bags vid.

Plastic bags 

It takes 10 to 20 years to break down. The bags pollute the earth.

Science - Water cycle

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

Definition:

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 bag
2.  Vivid Marker
3.  1 cup of water
4.   2 drops of food colouring

Steps:

1.  On your plastic bag draw out the layout.
2. After that write write that represent the process of water.
3.  Then pour 1 cup of water.
4. After the water is poured put in 2 drops of blue food colouring.
5. Then display them in a place that the sun will shine on

Findings:

	The Water Cycle: Bag 1	CO2 Water Cycle: Bag 2 Acid	Desert Water Cycle Bag 3
Does it cycle?	Yes	Yes	No
Amount of Water	2	2	2
Acidity	1	2	1

Key: Water and acidity amount: 1 = none 

2 = small drips

3 = large drips

Ice melting cap

  NASA has estimated that the polar ice caps are melting 9% every ten years, which is an extremely alarming rate. If the temperature on earth continues to rise at its current rate t            he Arctic will have no ice by 2040. The Arctic ice cap has decreased since the 1960s  by as much as 40%. 

Paper bag puppets

So on Tuesday we made puppets  and did a play with them about healthy food and unhealthy food my group did a song with our play. so now I will be telling about being / healthy and how it relate to hauora so healthy food is good for your body and your health
