My Investigation on climate change

My Investigation on climate change

ACIDIFICATION

DEFINITION: acidification occurs when CO2 is absorbed into the water at a high rate

What is happening to the oceans?

The ocean is taking to much CO2, because of that the fish can't settle by the ocean taking to much of CO2 the shellfish start to aciditate making them not able to form their shells. 

What does this do to shellfish?

They start to aciditate wish enables them to create their shells.

HOW DOES CLIMATE CHANGE CONTRIBUTE TO THE ACIDIFICATION OF OUR OCEANS?

DEFORESTATION

DEFINITION: clearcutting of forests

What are trees used for?

They're used for the water cycle, and transpiration and CO2 wood is mostly used for houses household items paper and pencils. 

HOW DOES DEFORESTATION AFFECT THE CLIMATE?

ICECAP MELT

DEFINITION: Ice melting and falling into the ocean  

If all the ice melted what would happen?

The seawater will rise higher and higher The ocean would cover all the coastal cities. And land area would shrink

HOW DOES ICECAP MELT AFFECT CLIMATE CHANGE?

WATER VAPOUR

DEFINITION:

Gas water 

HOW DOES  WATER VAPOUR AND EVAPORATION CONTRIBUTE TO CLIMATE CHANGE? 

As the climate warms, air temperatures rise more evaporation from water sources

How do we work in this laboratory?

1. Beginning and End of class: Lining up, Entry, Seating, 
2. Equipment tray: equipment list and details.

• Test tube - This is used for experiments using liquids. They have a bung that can be placed in the top. Test tubes sit in a test tube rack.
• Conical Flask - This is used for experiments with liquid up to 150 ml. The flask has a rubber bung for the top and the glass is heatproof.
• 
• Glass Stirring rod - This is a 20cm glass rod used to stir and mix any liquids together.
• 
• Test tube tongs - These are used to hold a hot test tube after an experiment.
• 
• Spatula - This is for holding very small amounts of chemical powders.
• 
• Funnel - used to channel liquids into a smaller container.
• 
• Measuring Cylinder - This is used to measure liquids for experiments. The liquids will be poured into a beaker or test tube once measured out.

2040 documentary

What are 2 things you learned:
 I learned that there are good things to climate change, like how you can make and change bad situations into good ones by instead of using electricity, you can use solar energy. Instead of feeding cows grain, you can feed them your crops and parts of the field you don't use. 

What surprised you?: I got surprised when I learned how much fossil fuel we use.

What excited you?: I got excited knowing that there are good things to climate change and not just bad things 

What worried you?:  I got worried when I thought the clean world we need won't come to us.

Solar Energy

Solar Energy

Aim: To find out which color attracts the suns heat.

Hypothesis: I think black attracts more heat because it's a darker color. 

Materials:

1.  White paper
2.  Black paper
3.  Tin foil
4.  Heat lamp
5. Styrofoam cup
6. Clear cup

Steps

1. Get your materials and get in a group of three or four 
2. Put your tin foil and black plastic around the two cups
3.  Put the heat lamp on and wait for the minutes on the chart 
4.  after your timer is up put the thermometer into the water for one minute 
5.  Take out the thermometer out of the water and put a timer for another one minute 
6. Record what the result was. 

Findings:

In this photo, it includes three cups and a heat lamp two of the cups are covered and one is not, one of them is covered with a black garbage bag, and the other is covered with tin foil. the other cup is just a normal styrofoam cup, in each cup, there is 1/4 of water in all three cups. 

Time	Cup 1 White	Cup 2 Black	Cup 3 Tinfoil
0	16	16	16
15	18	18	17
30	17	18	18

Conclusion

Activity:

In pairs rate the livability of coal vs solar energy.

Comparing Coal energy with Solar energy ( Rate; 1 = poor to 10 = great)

Water Cycle

Title	Water Cycle
Purpose	To see how a water cycle works
Materials	Ziplock Bag Marker(any color) Draw a water cycle Name the section Hot water  Blue food coloring Two-sided sticky tape
Steps	Take zip lock bag   draw the water cycle  Name the sections of the water cycle Take hot water and put in a ¼ of water in the  Put two drops of blue food coloring  Close zip lock bag put two-sided tape on both ends of the plastic bag  And attach to a window  Take a zip lock bag  Draw the water cycle Put two-sided sticky tape on both ends Attach litmus paper to top end Put ¼ of soda water in a ziplock bag Put two drops of blue food coloring  Put a teaspoon of baking soda in bag  Close tight Attach to window
Conclusion	I think the outcome of this experiment will be... The first bag will be very misty and humid almost as if your standing on top of a misty mountain in the rain forest, but I think it will look like an old water bottle with the fog inside of it. I think the other bag will just turn into a really groggy blueish white powder water, like an old expired protein mix.

It was quite fun learning about gases and how they effect our earth, I was quite intregred when I Learnt what a water cycle was. after we learnt the names of different type of gas names, after the explaing was finished when got into a group of three.

Poetry

In class, we have been learning about and writing poems, it was quite interesting learning about poems and writing about them I decided to write a Haku, Haku's seem easy but they are quite difficult to do, because you need to find something to write about but the first line has to have five syllables then the second has to be seven syllables than the last line has five syllables, for example.

There is snow

         falling down from air  

The cold is freezing

Climate change Issues

Aim: To learn about the different emissions  of climate change


Factories: Making clothes, cars, and electronics  and processed foods create a lot of pollution when materials like plastic cardboard metal and cement are made, harmful gases are released into the air and water 

Cows: cows create a greenhouse gas called methane when they burp or fart. Methane is a greenhouse gas that is 25 times more powerful than carbon dioxide.


Transportation: most cars need gas or diesel to work these come oil which is fossil fuel releasing  bad gases into the air


Electricity: Electricity is a powerful form that works in everyone's home  electricity  come from renewable resources like water wind and the sun


Food: we need food to survive, but it makes lots of pollution when transporting food my ships, planes, trains, and trucks add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere


Landfill:
our landfills are growing and using up more healthy land when waste breaks down in landfills.

Self management

                       


By being a self-manager means being learning ready and having the right gear, and not being distracted by other people, and following instructions

I was a self-manager by being on time to school with the right gear and being learning ready,  I had all the gear I needed for class,  I was an active listener.

How you can be a self-manager is by being on time learning ready and being an active listener, self-management is a very critical thing to have in the work invoerment because you need to be able to do stuff on your own and not let people tell you what to do constantly.
