Me And My Brother Alone On A Island

One day I woke up to the noise of the waves crashing and I went down to the beach where the waka was 1 day before that when I got There the waka was gone.So I started to get scared because I was hungry and little I didn't know how to hunt I grabbed Wood and started to build my waka.

When I saw a Teenage boy crying I went up to him and said did you get left here to When he turned It was My brother I stayed with him to see if he was alright. He said I thought I was here alone We made a waka and looked for kai and water but there was nothing left my brother said look I see a waka floating in the water then…

We got our waka in the water then sailed away until we got to our family again

THE BIG PICTURE

• What animals keep our jackets warm?
• What animal makes our boots waterproof?
• Where does the water in our rivers come from?
• Why do we need healthy rivers?
• What are some of the good things about mosquitoes?
• Why are bees dying?
• What do bugs do to our leaves

GROUP ACTIVITY; 

1. Groups of 3 or 4 students.
2. Need A3 copy paper.

THE ICECAPS HAVE MELTED. MOST OF THE LAND IN THE WORLD HAS BEEN FLOODED AND YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS ARE ON A BOAT IN THE MIDDLE OF KNOW WHERE. YOUR BOAT IS SUDDENLY STRUCK BY A STORM AND YOU BECOME SHIPWRECKED ON A SMALL ISLAND. YOU ARE ONLY ALOUD TO SELECT 20 ITEMS FOR YOUR GROUP. A SECOND BOAT IS TRAVELLING NEAR YOU BUT WILL NOT BE ABLE TO REACH YOU FOR 1 MONTH SO YOU NEED TO GATHER ENOUGH SUPPLIES TO LAST FOR A MONTH.

In your group you need to:

1. Make a list of the 10 things you are going to collect.

2. Draw a map of the island.

4. Draw and label the activities you will be involved with.

• Renewable energy sites ( wind, solar, hydro, )
• Living / shelter
• Growing food
• Write 3 sentences about how your group is going to live for the next month.

When you are drawing your map you need to list 4 places you can have renewable energy sites.

Fossil Fuels

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

Definition of Fossil Fuels: a natural fuel such as coal or gas That have rotted down and down for 100,000s of years which turns it into fossil fuels NZ fossil fuels are found on the west coast 

• coal: a dark-brown to black solid substance formed naturally from the compaction and hardening of fossilised 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 

Examples of Fossil Fuels:

1. Methane gas
2.  anaerobic Decomposition  

What Fossil Fuels are mined?
How are they mined?

How are they mined?

1. Drilling
2. Digging
3. Picking
4. Exaggerating  
Where are they mined?

1. Desserts 
2. Caves
3. Water
4. Ice
5. Deep underground

Activity;

On the sheet provided you need to make two drawings of your cookie. 
1. looking down at it. 
2. side on -  of the imaginary habitat that will live on the top of the cookie. ( trees, bushes, flax, sea, etc)

Material:

1.  Cookie 
2.   Pen or pencil
3.   Plate
4.  Paper

Steps:

1.   Draw your island
2.   Get the choc chips of the cookie 
3.   Draw your island after mining 
4.   Write about what happened to your island 
5.   Eat the cookies

Findings: The island got destroyed as a result of the mining.

Conclusion: I think this is a good way to show what is happening to the world.

My Investigation

Where does our food come from?

• Choose your favourite food.

       

1. Upload a picture of it.
2. Draw a picture of it on A4.    

On your blog answer the following questions.

• Where does the food come from (e.g. is it from another province or country, was it purchased or made locally)? 

• How many kilometres away did the food travel to get to you?

• What are the main ingredients? 

       Pork, Water, Salt, Dextrose, Rosemary Extract.

• How is the food packaged? 

       in a paper bag

• What resources do you need to produce this food item (e.g. land, water, oil, food, etc.)? 

• Would this item have been processed? - animals, gas 

• Is there anything unique or significant about the food item (e.g. fair-trade, local)? 

• What else do you notice about this food that affects its climate friendliness? - More animals will be killed

• Do you think this food is climate friendly (Circle)?       YES   (NO) 

• Why? because meet being cooked witch is gas releases a bad chemical in the air

• If no, what would be a better alternative?  

Hurumanu - Water Cycle

to day I can finely give the findings of the water cycle 

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

                                                                   Key: Water and acidity amount: 1 = none 

2 = small drips

3 = large drips

Other comments:

1. Water cycle 1 had no acidity

2. The water cycled in bag 1

3. The water formed small drops in bag 1 

4. Water cycle had some acid in bag 2

5. The water cycled in bag 2

6. The water formed small drops 2 

7. Water cycle 3 had no acidity

8. The water cycled in bag 3

9. The water formed small drips in bag 3

Conclusion:

the water did not make as much water because it was to cold so there wasn't as much sun

all of the bags formed the same amount of water

one bag had acid in it and all the acid got stuck at the top

STEPS

5.   
6. 
   

Once you have made an anemometer we are going to record the wind speed.

Group size: 5

You will need:

Anemometer (above) 

Roles:

• Timekeeper
• Counter
• Recorder
• Anemometer Manager
• Wind generator

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. If possible, repeat the above step four (4) times and record the average number of spins on the chart.

FINDINGS

• Record how many times it spins using the table below.

You will need to create the wind yourself by blowing. Get 4 different wind speeds by blowing.

You will need to time them and count the number of spins.

	Time Interval	Number of Spins
1.	10:43	3
2.	1:43	8
3.	10:55	2
4.	10:59	1

• Can you make a statement connecting the number of spins of your anemometer and the speed of the wind?
