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:

1. plastic bag
2.  water
3.  blue food coloring
4. vivit

Steps:

1.  draw the water cycle on the plastic bag
2.  put one cup of water into the bag
3.  put the blue food coloring in to the bag
4.  shake the bag lightly
5. hang it on the window when the sun mostly shine
6. then wait.

Two Images:

Findings:

	The Water Cycle: Bag 1	CO2 Water Cycle: Bag 2 Acid	Desert Water Cycle Bag 3
Does it cycle?	yes!!!	yes!!!	yes!!!
Amount of Water	2	2	2
Acidity	1	2	1

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.

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.

TODAY YOU WILL BE INVESTIGATING THE EFFECTS THAT CLIMATE CHANGE HAS ON THE WATER CYCLE.

1. Using your SOLO hexagons poster write a paragraph about the different aspects of climate change.
2. 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.

charlesworth reserve

On wednesday June 26 2019 we have bin doing CIP on CIP we do gardening and we are going to charlesworth reserve to help plant 100,000 tree because trees breath in carbon dioxide (and sunlight) and breath out oxygen.

The charlesworth reserve is named this because there was a person who came to christchurch from england and his name was captain william charlesworth who retired from being a ship captain and became a farmer. Capt Charlesworth brought a lot of land and he was the first man to buy that land. He turned the wetlands into a farm the reserve is named after him because he was the first person to buy this land other than the maoris who owned it before him.

here is some infomation from a website

charlesworth reserve

history

“This 20 ha of land, separated from the estuary by Linwood Ave and Humphries Drive, was drained in the 1920s and used as pasture. Restoration began in 1991, when paddocks were cleared and planted, and tidal pools were re-created.

The reserve is comprised of a tidal basin with surrounding saltmeadow, saltmarsh, coastal shrubland and coastal bush. Its role is to provide nesting, roosting and feeding habitat for native and migratory birds, as well as provide habitat for fish, estuarine marine life, lizards and terrestrial invertebrates.

The space is also a valuable recreational area for the local community. Seats at viewing points overlook the pools which are a hotspot for wetland and wading birds, including the migratory bar-tailed godwit/kuaka.”

Volunteering 

"Over 100,000 trees, shrubs and marsh plants have now been planted at this site and volunteers play a major role in caring for these.  

Charlesworth Reserve is being actively restored by the Avon-Heathcote Ihutai Estuary Trust(external link), with support from Trees for Canterbury(external link), who donate and assist the planting of native vegetation. "

Where was the charlesworth reserve? It is in Christchurch.

Why is it important for me? Because trees eat carbon dioxide and I want to live whole live.

What was the place he was buried when he died? He was buried at woolston.

When/where born/die? He was born 1814 died at 1875.

Why that spot is named after him? Because he owns a lot of land and he was the first man to own that land.

Where was he born? He was born in England.

The name of the ship Captain william charlesworth arrived on the Brothers

We are planting 4 different type of plants here are the 4 plants

1. Coprosma crassifolia thick-leaved coprosma or Coprosma crassifolia
2. Coprosma propinqua mingmingi or Coprosma propinqua
3. Coprosma robusta karamü or Coprosma robusta 
4. Cordyline australis ti köuka, cabbage tree or Cordyline australis 

 

Aim: To look at how fossil fuels are contributing to climate change and how we can prevent this.

Definition of Fossil Fuels: fossil fuels are solid and liquid

Scientific Terms for Students

• coal: a dark-brown to black solid substance formed naturally from the compaction and hardening of fossilized plants and used as a fuel primarily for electricity generation
• natural gas: a mixture of hydrocarbon gases that occurs naturally beneath the earth’s surface and is used as a fuel primarily for cooking and heating homes
• renewable resource: a resource that is never used up (e.g., solar energy)
• non-renewable resource: a resource that is not replaceable after its use (e.g., coal, gas)

Examples of Fossil Fuels:

1.   oil
2.   coal
3. natural gas

Activity: 

In groups of 3 you will learn about different fossil fuels and the way they are mined?
Each group will be given a fossil fuel. The recorder will read it to the group. The recorder will write down some of the important points.
Person 1: Recorder: to write down 5 points of interest from the text. 

1. 5 Points:
2. Positives and negatives of your type of mining.

Person 2: Reporter: to read back to the class their 5 points of interest.
Person 3: Collector: Gathers the required stationary from the teacher.
