Catching the sun movie

Materials:

1. Cups x4 
2.  Water
3.  Tin foil 
4.  2 sheets of white paper
5.  1 sheet of black paper 
6. Thermometer 
7. 1 large cup 

Steps

1. The first thing you need to do was to get all of the materials that you need and put them down on your table.  
2.  When you have all of the materials go and fill all of the small cups with cold water don't put a lot of water and leave a space.
3.  After that place a large cup and put it to one of the cup that you have to make it look like a  greenhouse.
4.  When you've done put 1 cup to a white paper, and the second cup that has a large a cup is also put to  white paper, the third cup has to be put to a black paper and the last cup is with the tin foil. 
5.   Go get a heat lamp and leave all the cups but make sure that the heat lamp has a light on it.
6.  After that wait at least 15 minutes and after that measure it with a thermometer but every 15 minutes.

Which surface conducts / attracts the most heat?

Time + temperature	Cup 1 White paper	Cup 2 White paper+ plastic.	Cup 3 Black paper	Cup 4 Tinfoil
0	12 d	12 d	12 d	12 d
15 minutes	15 d	17 d	21 d	25 d
30 minutes	17 d	18 d	21 d	23 d
45 minutes	18 d	19 d	20 d	22 d

Findings:

In my opinion I think that we succeed but some of our temperatures went up and down which confused us but in our opinion maybe it was because we were kinda close to the door, but the really warmest cup was the tin foil because of the light that is reflecting on the foil and also it was near the heat lamp that's why it was really warm but in a few second when we turn off the heat lamp the cup that is on the tin foil slowly turning to a  cold water again. 
Conclusion:

 Me and my group have fun doing it and I'm really proud of my group because they try their best doing it. When me and my group we're doing the measure thing was kinda confusing because when we do it some of them are going higher but some of them are getting lower and also I think we succeed because we are almost near at the door and there's a light at the top of the surface which is good but some of the water doesn't change because some of the cups are not near at the heat lamp and I think that's why it doesn't change at all, but after all it was fun and I learn a lot of things.

RECYCLED

Aim: To learn practical ways of recycling so that we can make our world a better place.

The Zero Waste Climate Solution movie

How can we prevent climate change by recycling these products?

Plastics: If you don't reuse plastic it would be bad since plastic does not biodegrade. Then it would be left in the landfill which will cause methane and once methane is released into the air it causes more air pollution. 

Cycling or walking: If you walk and or ride a bike you lessen driving a car since cars can cause Carbon Dioxide.

Paper: If we reuse paper it will lessen the need for cutting down more trees.

Steel: If you don't reuse steel it will be the normally be labelled as garbage and will be buried under a landfill. Or we will burn them and once we burn it cause more pollution on land and air.

Video questions:

What is Zero Waste?

Zero waste is one of the quickest and affordable ways a community immediately reduces the impact on climate change.
What can we do on the planet?

1.  Repair 
2.  Reduce
3.  Reuse 
4.  Recycle

What do we need to recycle?

Put biodegradable materials into the green waste bin so we can help stabilise the soil. Also Plastic, steel, and the paper.

What does recycling do?

We can shut down 20% of the coal factories which can be done immediately and it can prevent pollution.

How much of our rubbish is food scraps?

90,000

What does soil do to carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

Soil can decrease carbon dioxide but also since soil can help grow plants it is also good since plants eat carbon dioxide since that is the source to create there leaves and stems.

What do we need to do?

1. Make Changes
2. Have Zero waste

What is a carbon footprint?

How can you make your Carbon Footprint smaller?

Carbon footprint goals:

1. Walk to school and less driving to school

2. Take faster showers

3.during the day use the sunlight and not use the electricity

ENERGY SAVING TIPS FILM

Name 4 of the tips.

1. Turn off your lights when your not using it or your going out.  
2.   Turn off you water when your brushing your teeth or soaping your hands.
3.   Unplug unused electronics like charger etc.
4.  Use cold water when your going to use washing machine.

AT WHAT RATES DO DIFFERENT ITEMS DECOMPOSE?

MY INVESTIGATION.

Choose 5 items from the list and investigate them. 

Papers-  If we recycled a paper it can be made out of a Cardboard,magazines, paper towels, news paper, and a napkins. If we don't recycled paper we wouldn't have something to write on and don't have a news paper to read and I that the paper will be bad for the oceans because if it wasn't recycle the paper will be pile up in the ocean.

Leaves - Well leaves provide us foods and air to help the plants to grow, also of know that leaves breath in carbon dioxide and breath out oxygen. Leaves can use through the photosynthesis which green plants use sunlight because sunlight is used to form foods from carbon dioxide and water, also the photosynthesis help the leaves to be green.

Milk Carton - Milk carton are also made of from paperboard and it was coated polyethylene, they used paperboard because it was stronger but it was non- recycle.Milk carton can use for fun because you create something form it because a lot of people or kids use it as crafting they used the carton of the milk and they build house miniature for birds,dolls, or Lego figures.Also Milk carton has a great small size for growing small plants.

Glass Bottles - Glass is 100%  recyclable and it can be recycled without losing quality and the purity of the glass, also heating glass in the microwave is more safer that heating plastic because plastic can be melted because of the temperature so that's why a lot of people like glass than using plastic because you can save more money. Most of the people use glass bottle as D.I.Y projects because they can build painted flower vase, bottle tree or Tiki torch bottle,etc..

Orange Peels - Orange peel can help to clean dirty water also orange peel add nutrients and nitrogen to a plants as they decompose , also that orange peel has more fiber than the real fruit inside. There a lot of thing that orange peel can do like orange peel can be used to start a fire, etc. In the compost piles the orange peel can bring in phosphorus, nitrogen and the potassium ( Is a mineral ), and they say that it was a good idea to break your peel down in the a small pieces so the peel will compost faster and faster but if you peel into a big piece they can take a lot of time to compost. 

You need to answer three questions.

Name: 

• Milk carton 
•     Orange Peel 
•     Leaves
•     Glass Bottles 
•     Paper 

1. How long do they take to decompose?

• Milk Carton - 5 years 
• Orange Peels - 3-6 months 
• Leaves - 1-3 months 
• Glass Bottles - 500 years or Forever?
• Paper - 2-4 weeks 

 2. What resources/fossil fuel are they made form?

• Milk Carton - In my research they are made of wood pulp but it was mixed with a hardwood and a softwood.
• Orange Peels - Orange Peels are made of Orange seeds
• Leaves - Leaves are made of CO2 which is carbon dioxide.
• Glass Bottles - Glass Bottles are made from sand, ash, soda, and limestone because they use natural gas and heat which they use coal to create the bottle shape. 
• Paper - It was made from Pulp Cotton from the woods in the tree's 

3. How is this resource recycled?

• Milk Carton - When we put the milk Cartoons into the bins it has to be put with the Glass containers, like Steel and etc.Some of the people put this cartoons into the bins of paper because outside of the milk cartoon is paper/ or a card paper but in the inside it was made of aluminium so it's not right to put the milk cartoons into the bins of paper.
• Orange Peels - With the Orange Peels it easy to reuse it because you can add to your compost heat so it can create soil and it can also create different things like Limoncino or Arancino.
• Leaves - Once you started to mowing the lawn you can add the leaves that have fallen to the ground that came from a trees, if you add them you lawn can shared them up to pieces the size of the grass that is clippings. It can cause the leaves to decompose faster and faster.
• Glass Bottles - If you throw the Glass Bottle to the yellow bin the Glass Bottle will be taken to a machine which then separates and discolour all of the bottles inside the yellow bin. Once the Bottle are crushed and melted down the bottle can be reused to create a new glass products like the glass bottle can be turned into a glass jug.
• Paper - When it was recycled it was taken to a machine where it will separate the kinds and grades of paper and once it was done it will wash away any extra writing or and wash any extra ink off with a soapy water. When it was done it creates a slurry which then creates different kinds of paper materials like news paper, card paper,news paper, etc.

4. How does this object contribute to climate change?

• Milk Carton -  Well milk impacts the environment in a various way because dairy cows produce manure which releases a greenhouse gas into our atmosphere.
• Orange Peel - There is nothing for the orange peels that can cause/contribute something to our climate change.
• Leaves - Mostly of the leaves can help to decrease climate change and not contributing but leaves can help because they feed off carbon dioxide and release oxygen to the air.
• Glass Bottles - When glass bottles are created it needs heat to create its form which means it needs fossil fuels which is the coal to heat up a furnace/heating system, and the carbon dioxide can't stay inside. So we let the carbon dioxide go outside into the air which cause air pollution and also our air temperature increase.
• Paper - All of us always need a paper to write on so there are always trees need to be cut because tree's eat the carbon dioxide once the tree's are cut down. It will release its carbon dioxide that contain in the air which will also cause air pollution.

Number line strategy.

 W.A.L.T use a number line to help us solve +,- questions.

Hello guys, welcome back for our another blog post about maths I'm so exited to show it to you guys because I haven't done anything again on my blog about maths D.L.O. I'm also going to give some example how this maths D.L.O work. 

    Question was 235+_=272. There is a number that is missing so we are going to use a number line strategy, so the first thing you have to do a line and start with the number 235 and plus it 5 to get 240 and add the 240 to 30 so you can get 270 and lastly add the 270 to 2 and it will get the result of 272,so when you add the 5,30 and 2 you will get 37. So let's try what we get on our question 235+37=272.

       I make a short D.L.O that is explain how the number line work.

 Thank you guys for watching this blog post that I'v done about maths and I hope you learn something from it, hope you give me your feedback if you have a question from it. Have a great day. Bye.

End of the year test.

 W.A.L.T prepare for our end of year PAT comprehension and STAR Test.

Hello readers, for today's blog post we are going to talk about what we are doing this term for the end of the year PAT comprehension and star test . End of year test preparation is like this, we are doing this test for the end of term because all of the teacher's want to now how we improved our learning this year. So they know that we were listening when they teach us because on this test it has like the same question of what my teacher teach us and they explain it how to do it and how is it work , so we've done this test on every year and this time is almost the end of term so we have to be always prepare and be more focus learner at everything because sometimes I don't really know what I'am doing and what are my answer is so I hope that this term I'll get better and try my best at everything of what my teacher teaching us. So I have my goal for my reading test like I have to be more serious and take my at everything and re-read all of the question and answer so I can get my Sta nine that I really have to improve on my reading.

 What are going to do to help you improve you work?? Do you think I can do it??

 Thank you guys for reading my blog post and I hope you don't forget to give me your feedback and my question that I write, and hope you have a great day. Bye.

        

SLJ. Curious Kiwi.

 Hello guys, We been doing Summer Learning Journey on this term and it's lesson two, but our task today that Miss Morgan gives us was how we can help Curious Kiwi?, when  Curious Kiwi don't have any thing to read on the plane while he was travelling to go to the place of England, that where he can find the beautiful place like Skyscraper city and when Curious Kiwi don't have anything to read because he was on rushed doing something that's why he forget to put his reading stuff on his bag and I'm here to help Curious Kiwi to stop being bored on the plane because I have this cool book called" Diary of the Wimpy kid" (Cabin Fever) the author of this book was Jeff Kinney and he also made a lot of different story about the " Diary of the Wimpy kid" that Curious Kiwi would like it and he also going to have fun reading it while he was on the plane, I also hope he would love this book that I request to him to read because it's a funny book and it's was really interest a lot when you read it. I also made a Google Drawing where I can show you how it work.

Best day ever!! (Part 2)

 Hi guys for today blog post we are going to continue what we did on our long holiday with my friend, because I only share to you the first thing that we did. So let's get started.

 When we are at the car to go to Jhrnylle house to play and to do some swimming, when we arrived me and Celine go run out at the car and we start playing with the trampoline with some ball and throwing it with each others we laugh so hard because we fell down when I throw the ball to Celine and Jhrnylle. But when Jhrnylle mom said that we have to go inside because it was really hot and it can hurt our skin so we go inside the house and play some board games we start playing with the Monopoly for 5 mins and when Jhrnylle mom said that if we want to go and swim outside at the backyard so we change our clothes and ready to swim but Celine don't no if she was going to swim because his dad said that here mom have to decide if she was going to swim because Celine was going to Halloween baking competition and here mom don't want to get Celine sick or something so only me and Jhrnylle are going to swim until Celine dad come so he can go and swim but our dad said to here that she go swim and they are just going to text Celine dad and after that when Celine come into the pool she said that it was really cold and our hands are all shaking every time we go out at the pool, when we finished palying at the pool Jhrnylle dad give us some fun games he throw some coins on the pool and we have to get them and I only get a little bit of the but it's fine and when the games is finished we come out at the pool and eat our lunch.

    When we finished eating our lunch we go back and play at the trampoline for 10 mins it was really fun jumping in it with your friends, but when Jhrnylle suggest to play cooking stuff with the kids. The first thing me and Jhrnylle faking that we are maid adn the kids are the one who was going to be the our boss children we have some fun playing until it's night time. When the night past we eat and play at the room, and the time goes me and Celine have to go home because it's was late at night.
