Solar Energy

                                          Solar Energy

In pairs rate the livability of coal vs solar energy.

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

Factor	Solar	Coal
Livability	10	3
Sustainability	10	2
Accessibility	10	5
Cost	9	7
Your choice...	Yes	No

 Water ,wind and sun are renewable energy's 
Solar is easy to get  and you can use it very easy to get.

My Investigation on climate change

My Investigation on climate change

ACIDIFICATION

What is happening to the oceans? 

Carbon is going to the oceans 

What does this do to shellfish?

Acidification is when is when the action or process of making.

shells are loosening there calcium

DEFORESTATION

What are trees used for? Tables Books Houses

HOW DOES DEFORESTATION AFFECT THE CLIMATE?

We lose are trees which makes carbon dioxide

ICE CAP MELT

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

Extreme weather

Measuring weather.

Definitions:

1.  Anemometer:
2. Beaufort wind scale:

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 block	0
4.	Hill	1

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 .

The  hill spins one times

New science Lab

Aim : To learn how to behave in a science lab

1. Pay attention 
2. Act responsibly around dangerous objects
3. Do not run
4. put your bag under your desk
5. No food in the lab 
6. Do not sniff or taste substances

• Test tube tongs - These are used to hold a hot test tube after an experiment.

• Glass Stirring rod - A 20cm glass rod used to stir and mix any liquids together.

• Conical Flask - used for experiments with liquid up to 150 ml. The flask has a rubber bung for the top and the glass is heat proof.

• Funnel

• Glass Stirring rod - A 20cm glass rod used to stir and mix any liquids together.

• Measuring Cylinder - this is used to measure liquids for experiments. The liquids will be poured into a beaker or test tube once measured out.

The Greenhouse Effect

 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

1. collect 2 bottles 2 lamps and 2 thermometers from the teacher.
2. Set up the bottles and lamps beside a power points on a flat surface.
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
0	18 degrees	18 degrees
5	24 degrees	28 degrees
10	32 degrees	37 degrees
15	39 degrees	35 degrees

Conclusion:

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

Conclusion

The water cycle

The water cycle 

Hi, today I will be talking to you about the water cycle.

 This is the parts of the water cycle 

Climate change, Evaporation ,Water vapour

,Condensation,Transpiration,Precipitation ,Acid rain ,Carbon dioxide

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.

THE WATER CYCLE SONG

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

Title: The water cycle experiment  Purpose:  To learn about how the water cycle works and And affects the world. Materials: Zip lock bag 1 A4 Permanent Marker  Food coloring to drops  Water  Double-sided tape 20 centimetres  Steps: Draw the water cycle on your bag Put the water in your bag Then put the food colouring in the  Zip up your bag   Put the tape on the bag  Then put the bag on the window Then look at the pollution in the water cycle

Findings:

	The Water Cycle	Acid Water Cycle
Does it cycle?	2	1
Amount of Water	2	2
Acidity	1	1

Key: Water and acidity amount: 0 = none 

1 = small 

2 = large 

Other comments:

The water cycle had a lot of condensation and did the cycle good 

Acid water cycle  the paper had not changed.

Conclusion:

if you make this experiment you will get to learn about the water cycle
