Tane Mahuta

Today in Tane Mahuta we are planting the plants, we plant watermelons, sunflowers, potatoes and carrots, we plant the sunflower at the back small space, we plant watermelon at roll 3, we plant potatoes at roll 1 and roll 2 and we plant some carrots at half roll 2, we dig some dirt.

Space Collaborative Modelling Book

1. The spaceman is in the middle.
2. The lonely spaceman is in the middle of the moon and earth.
3. The lonely spaceman is stuck in the middle of the earth and moon as the meat stuck in the sandwich. 
4. The lonely and helpless spaceman is stuck in the middle of the earth and moon as the meat stuck in the sandwich.
5. The lonely and helpless spaceman is sad as he is surrounded by the satisfying milky way because he can’t see his love ones, space with stars as bright night lights.
6. The lonely and helpless spaceman is sad as he is surrounded by the satisfying milky way because he can’t see his love ones, space with stars as bright night lights and far as my eyes could see was darkness in the distance like a black.

My favourite sentence:

1. The lonely and helpless spaceman is sad as he is surrounded by the satisfying milky way because he can’t see his love ones, space with stars as bright night lights and far as my eyes could see was darkness in the distance like a black.

Materials

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

   Steps:

1. Collect 2 bottles, 2 lamps and 2 thermometers from the teacher.

2. Set up bottles and lamps beside a power-point on a flat surface.

3. Pour 100 ml water and baking soda mixture into one of the bottles.

4. Start to record your findings taken from the bottle thermometers.

    These must be every 5 minutes.

Decomposing and Recycling

Aim: To learn about the rate that different materials decompose. 

Hypothesis: Banana, bread, brown paper and white stylophone, I think that banana will decompose the fastest in them.

Materials:

1.   Test Tube x4
2.   White stylophone
3.   Brown paper
4.   Bread
5.   Banana
6.   Water

Steps:

1. Set up a test tube holder.
2. Put each test tube in the holder.
3. Put Bread in one tube.
4. Put paper in one tube.
5. Put white stylophone in one tube.
6. Put Bananas in one tube,

Findings:

3 weeks	Colour	Change	Observations
Banana	Brown	Yellow - Brown	The banana is mouldy, it is all brown and it has a bit of green on it, is smell stink.
Paper	Brown	Didn't change	Is the same before 3 weeks.
Stylophone cup	White	Didn't change	Is the same before 3 weeks.
Bread	Brown	White - Brown	The bread is mouldy, it is all brown and it has a bit of green and white and yellow on it, is smell stink.

Sea level rise

Aim; To look at the different ways we can prevent climate change in the future.

How is sea-level rise going to effect us in NZ

What places will be effected?

Islands, the homes near the coast, the road near the water or sea.

What else do we need to think about?

When the sea-level come up the people will drink sold water.

What other places around NZ will be affected?

Perfect islands.

What does this do to our drinking water?

Our drinking water will be sold waters. 

What are the main concerns?

1.   The sea-level rise 2 or 4 meters and the near seas city, the city will in the water.
2.   The sea-level rise the people near the sea will drink sold water.

What can we do to prevent climate change?

What can we do?

1. Use more public transport.
2. Use more electric cars or cars that don't produce carbon.
3. Do not through plastic bag or trash in the sea.

Curbing climate change

What is the one, silver bullet solution?
nothing.

What is the mix of things we need to start doing?

1.   Stop through trash in the sea or land.
2.   Using electric cars ( if you can ).
3.   Build more public transport.

What are 3 others you can think of?

1. Take bus to school, walk or bike.
2. Not use oil cars, use electric cars ( if you can )
3. Not through rubbish in the sea.

Colour 1: for actions, they are already doing 

Colour 2: for actions that they pledge to undertake in the future

Ecological Handprint The Ecological hand print builds on the concepts from the Carbon Footprint. We will look at the positive actions of:

1. Transportation
2. Community
3. Consumption
4. Water
5. Food
6. Home
7. Waste
