Anton ( All Blacks)

In CIP this week we have been making some posters, video & letters to the All Blacks, to wish them good luck for the 2019 World cup.  Today we watched a video from Meleana's uncle, who is a All blacks rugby player. Our CIP group felt really happy and excited that he has taken his time and sent us this video, we all felt really thankful for getting this awesome message. Our learning is impacting the community by spreading kindness and showing others how to be be kind and be generous.

Today for CIP, we have been learning about the All Blacks. As we all know the All Blacks is New Zealand's national rugby union team. So today we had to do an activity where in one box we had to write things about what we already know about the All Blacks team. Second box we had to write what we wanted to know, and third box we wrote what we found out about the All Blacks.

Hurumanu - Climate Change

Hurumanu - Climate 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?

Stop at 23.39

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.

Investigation.

What is biomass?

Biomass is a renewable energy source because we can always grow more trees and crops, and waste will always exist. Some examples of biomass fuels are wood, crops, manure, and some garbage. When burned, the chemical energy in biomass is released as heat.

What are the 5 types of biomass?

1.  Garbage 
2.  Wood 
3.  Alcohol Fuels 
4.  Crops 
5.  Landfill

What are three benefits of biomass?

1.   It is less expensive than fossil fuels.
2.  It reduces the over reliance of fossil fuels.
3.  Biomass is always and widely available as a renewable source of energy.

What are three disadvantages of biomass?

1.    Biomass energy Can lead to deforestation.
2.   Biomass plants require a lot of space.
3.   Biomass energy is not as efficient as fossil fuels. 

Research the following types of Biomass.
You will need to:

Write a definition of the each fuel.

Answer each question

• How is it made?
• What is it used for?

MY INVESTIGATION.

• Choose 6 items from the list.
• Investigate them using Google.
• Answer the 4 questions below.

Name: 

1. How long does this resource take to decompose?
2. What resource / fossil fuel are they made from?
3. How does making this object contribute to climate change?
4. How is this resource recycled?

Plastic Bags:

1. How long does this resource take to decompose?

                     10-20 Year

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

         Plants, coal, natural gas or oil

 3.How does making this object contribute to climate change?   

             Plastic Pollution

  4.How is this resource recycled?

    1. First you have to collect the plastic                 material so it can be recycled.

    

    2. Sorting it

    3. Washing it

    4. Resizing 

    5. Identifying it and separating of plastics

    6. And finally, Compounding.

  Paper:

1. How long does this resource take to decompose?

                   2-4 Weeks

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

      Wood, pulp, rice, water plants, cotton, even           old clothes & you need fiber.

  3. How does making this object contribute to climate change?   

                   Paper pollution

  

4. How is this resource recycled?

     Paper recycling mostly involves used/old paper     with water and chemicals to break it down. Then    the paper is chopped up and heated, which then the paper breaks down even more into strands of             cellulose. Cellulose is a type of organic plant material, this mixture is called pulp. 

Leaves:

1. How long does this resource take to decompose?

                   1-3 Months

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

                  Chlorophyll is the molecule in leaves that uses the energy in sunlight to turn water (H2O) and carbon dioxide gas (CO2) into sugar and oxygen gas (O2).

3. How does making this object contribute to climate change?   

              High CO2 levels cause plants to thicken their leaves, which could worsen climate change effects. 

4.How is this resource recycled?
Mulch Mowing 
The easiest way to recycle fallen leaves is to simply leave them where them alone. Up to an inch or two of leaves can be mowed and left to break down in your lawn. That way it is adding nutrients and a bit of mulch to your lawn grass

Mulch:

Material (such as decaying leaves, bark, or compost) spread around or over a plant to enrich or insulate the soil.

Glass Bottles:

1. How long does this resource take to decompose?

               500 Years- Forever?

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

      Glass is made of abundant natural raw material such as sand and glass waste (cullet)

   3. How does making this object contribute to climate change?   

                  Recycling glass bottles is really good for the environment because it can save a lot of the energy used in the manufacturing process of glass from raw materials. And there are also applications which can turn waste glass into building materials, concrete, and paving applications, in place of sand and other natural resources. 

 4. How is this resource recycled?

  A consumer throws glass into a recycle bin,then glass is taken from the recycle bin and will be taken to a glass treatment plant. The glass will then be sorted by color and washed to remove any impurities. The glass will then be crushed and will be melted, and is then moulded into new products such as bottles and jars.

Plastic Bottles:

1. How long does this resource take to decompose?

                 400-500 Years
     2. What resource / fossil fuel are they made from?
                  Polyethylene
    3. How does making this object contribute to climate change?   80% of plastic water bottles end up in landfills, each bottle leaks harmful chemicals into our environment along the way as it decomposes. 

4. How is this resource recycled?
 1. First they check the bottom of the bottle 
 2. Take the cap off
 3. Rinse the plastic bottle with water
 4. Remove the label and plastic seal if necessary
 5. Then with the other bottles..repeat the process
 6. Consider crushing the bottles if there is a lot
 7. Put the bottles into the bag.


Styrofoam:

1. How long does this resource take to decompose?

                     Never?

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

       Styrofoam is a type of plastic product, so it is petroleum based meaning it is made from oil.

   

3. How does making this object contribute to climate change?     When Styrofoam is burnt for energy or for disposal, it is released into the environment, leading to air pollution and health problems when inhaled by people and animals.

4. How is this resource recycled?

? Maybe find a drop off site for Styrofoam in your area.
