I am a student at in Uru Mānuka. In 2020 I was a year 8 and in 2021 I will be a year 9. This is a place where I will be able to share my learning with you. Please note....some work won't be edited - just my first drafts, so there may be some surface errors. I would love your feedback, comments, thoughts and ideas.

CIP
In period 2 I was pulling apart old things in the outdoor classroom we pulled apart old chairs and a old bed but that what I thought it was a old bed. In period 3 I was in a greenhouse takeaway old concrete on the ground and under concrete the people that was with us find a garden spider on the ground and Jackson my friend picked it up and we put it out of the ways of the garden house. We pulled apart the old stuff because so we can burn the stuff we can burn and the stuff we cannot burn and we are not burning it the people that own the property dase the burning but where's the stuff we can offer we put their in the skip. we got the concrete out of the Greenhouse so we can get rid of the weeds.

Instrumental Industries
On Monday August 19th of 2019 we start a new Hurumanu.it is called music but we actually call it Instrumental Industries it is a nickname for it. We have learnt about ukuleles we now know how to works they are from Hawaii. Here is a slideshow that shows you the parts of a ukulele. We have listen to 3-4 music types they are stomp, poi e, gospel music, pop music from the 90ths.

solar energy
Solar Energy
Catching the sun movie
Materials:
- 4 cups
- Water
- Tin foil
- 2 sheets of white paper
- 1 sheet black paper
- Thermometer
- 1 large cup
- 1 heat lamp
Steps
- Add water to the cups
- Put the white paper underneath 2 cups
- Put black paper underneath 1 cup
- Put tin foil underneath 1 cup
- Put the big cup on top of 1 of the white papers cup upside down
- Then wait
Which surface conducts / attracts the most heat?

70 minutes with no heat

Findings: Black paper takes most of the heat for the cup. Tin foil does it take is amount of heat then black paper but it's close. Plastic one stop the heat put it still gets a little bit of heat. White paper has more heat than plastic because it's got nothing blocking.

water cycle
AIM: TO LOOK AT THE WATER CYCLE AND HOW CLIMATE CHANGE IS AFFECTING IT.
Definition: precipitation is bigger flooding storms and hurricanes.
evaporation is water vapour carbon dioxide condensation Oceans freshwater.

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.
We will be conducting an experiment that looks at the different ways that climate change is affecting the water cycle.


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
Material:
- plastic bag
- water
- blue food coloring
- vivit
Steps:
- draw the water cycle on the plastic bag
- put one cup of water into the bag
- put the blue food coloring in to the bag
- shake the bag lightly
- hang it on the window when the sun mostly shine
- then wait.

Other comments:
Conclusion:
1. The water cycled in bag 1.
2. The water formed small drops in Bag 1
3. The water was normal in bag 1.
4. The water cycled in bag 2.
2. The water formed small drops in Bag 1
3. The water was normal in bag 1.
4. The water cycled in bag 2.
5. The water formed small drops in Bag 2.
6.. The water had more acidity in bag 2.
7. The water cycled in bag 3.
8. The water formed small drops in Bag 3.
9.. The water was normal in bag 3.
9.. The water was normal in bag 3.

TODAY YOU WILL BE INVESTIGATING THE EFFECTS THAT CLIMATE CHANGE HAS ON THE WATER CYCLE.
- Using your SOLO hexagons poster write a paragraph about the different aspects of climate change.
- Write about the following Climate Change concepts:
You can do these bu powerpoint, embedding a movie , on your blog, on a doc or any other form of presentation. It is up to you.
ACIDIFICATION: HOW DOES CLIMATE CHANGE CONTRIBUTE TO THE ACIDIFICATION OF OUR OCEANS?
Ocean acidification refers to decreasing levels of pH in the ocean, which makes the sea more acidic. It is the long-term change in seawater chemistry due to the absorption of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Roughly 30 percent of human-made CO2 is absorbed by the oceans.
