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

    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.

    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
    6.   
    7.   

    STEPS

    1.   Get to sicks and but them to giver with tape.
    2.   Put 2 dishes on each side of the stick with one facing one and facing the other put them to giver with tape.
    3.   Pin it to the ruber on the pencil.
    4.   Them go out side with your Anemometer.
    Groups size: 5 
    Roles:
    • Timekeeper
    • 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.
    3. Repeat the above step four (4) times and record the number of spins on the chart.

    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 .
    The tennis gate did not spin.
     Old J block did not spin .
