    Acidification is when is when the action or process of making.
    shells are loosening there calcium

    What are trees used for? Tables Books Houses

    HOW DOES DEFORESTATION AFFECT THE CLIMATE?

    We lose are trees which makes carbon dioxide


    If all the ice melted what would happen?
    the word will get to cold so we will not be able to live on earth.
    The place will be fold

    HOW DOES ICE CAP MELT AFFECT CLIMATE CHANGE?

    It gets to cold

    Wind Power

    Hurumanu - Wind Power


    Measuring weather.

    Definitions:


    1.  Anemometer:
    2. Beaufort wind scale:

    Anemometer

    MATERIALS

    1. 4 dishes
    2. 2 sticks
    3. sellotape 
    4.   pin
    5.   pencil

    • Counter
    • Recorder
    • Anemometer Manager
    • Wind Manager
    1. Mount the anemometer in a place that has full access to the wind from all directions.
    2. When the time keeper says "Go", the counter in each group will count how many times the marked cup passes them in one minute and write it down.

    FINDINGS

    • Record how many times it spins and record it in the table below.
    • You will need to time them and count the number of spins.


    Place name on school grounds                                    Number of Spins in 15 seconds
    1.Middle Of Field 11
    2.Front of tennis gate 0
    3.Old j block0
    4.Hill1

    CONCLUSION:

    The field was the wind easy part because it is the most open part of the school it spins 11 times .

    Asking Questions And Answering Them

                                              Asking Questions And Answering Them

    Hi today I will be talking to you about asking and answering questions about Oakley Creek.
    Here you go.

     Outcome: We are learning to ask and answer questions

    We can successfully ask and answer questions by using the following strategies

    Read a sentence and ask a question about what we have read

    Read a sentence and answer a question about what we have
    read

    Read a paragraph and ask a question about the main idea in
    the paragraph

    Read a paragraph and ask a question about the main
    character in the paragraph

    Give evidence from the text to justify asking a question

    Give evidence from the text to justify answers to a question

    Good readers ask questions before, during and after they have read a text.

    Sometimes the question is answered in the text.

    Sometimes you have to use your own prior knowledge and what’s in the text to help you come up with the answer.

    Sometimes the question may not be answered by the text at all and you will have to find another source of information to help you.

    Asking and answering questions helps you look for information, which builds understanding.

    Key Points Out Of The Story Fever

                              Key points out of the story fever.

    Hi to day I will be talking to you about the key points  out of the story Fever.


    Here are the key points.
    Carly forced her eyes open. 

    A girl was standing at the end of the bed. 
    She was wearing an old-fashioned nightgown.

    Carly’s teeth began to chatter and click. When she spoke, it was as if she were
    trying to bite the words.

    The ones about monsters and maniacs and
    ghosts.

    Can you keep a secret?I do believe you can.
    You mustn’t laugh. You mustn’t cry.

    Just do the best you can.
    Carly’s mother, unlocking the car, was struck by the sound of her daughter’s voice.

     Climate Change and Greenhouse gases



    AIM: TO LOOK AT CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT.


      THE GREENHOUSE GASES EXPLAINED.


      The Greenhouse Effect experiment

      Materials

      1. 1 plastic bottle
      2. 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda and Citric Acid
      3. 1 heat lamp
      4. 1 Thermometer
      5. 100 ml water
      6. 1 rubber bung

      Steps

      3. Pour 100 ml water and baking soda mixture into one of the bottles add just water to the second bottle .
      4. Start to record your findings taken from both Thermometer these must be every 5 minutes.


      Findings:The Greenhouse Effect Data 



      Minutes
      Bottle 1: Water 
      Bottle 2: CO2 Gas
      018 degrees18 degrees
      524 degrees28 degrees
      1032 degrees37 degrees
      1539 degrees35 degrees























      Conclusion:
      The temperature of the Co2 bottle rose higher than the normal bottle.
