What I need to work on doing to help stop climate change and to save the turtles

My Investigation

Aim: To look at how I can prevent climate change in the future.



changes that you can make to stop Climate change?

  1.   Drinking tap water
  2.   Cycling
  3.   Unplugging my electronic devices when not in use
  4. Not using plastic straws/bags
  5.  Reusing paper bags instead of wasting them and letting deforestation continue
  6.  Plant more trees
  7.  Not have takeaways all the time
  8.  Have home cooked meals more often
  9.   Eat less meat
  10.   Not polluting the air with Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide
  11. Not kill animals just for the fun of it
  12. Use Solar power to heat food/rapping it in tin foil and let it heat up
  13. NEVER SMOKE
  14. Walk more often instead of taking the bus or car
  15. bike/scooter/walk to school more often
  16. Don't buy things I want but only buy things I need
  17. Eat more vegetables
  18. Don't cut trees down
  19. Only use the heater for 1 hour no more
  20. Turn off the light when I exit the room

Just some questions you could answer in the comments.

  1. What do you think I should do to change climate change?
  2. What do you think I should do to stop Climate Change?
  3. What would you do if you could stop Climate Change?
  4. How can we stop Climate Change?
If you don't know what to put in a comment here is some help.

15 Points are needed to get a badge
A high standard of work.
All experiments are written up ( Aim, Materials, Steps, Conclusion)
Two photos of your experiment
6 sentences at least for a conclusion



Science will be twice per week.



Lesson 1: This will be an Experiment that involves blogging. You will be expected to open a new post, copy Mr Palmer's blog and paste it on your new post.
Lesson 2: This will be an Investigation that relates to the topic from Lesson 1. It will be own choice and displayed in a way that you prefer. For example - PowerPoint, Doc, etc


Expectations:

1 blog must be completed per Hurumanu lesson.
A completed blog must have the four headings ( Aim, Method, Findings, Conclusion), correct writing and punctuation under each heading and be published. No post, no points.
2 images of the experiment / investigation on the blog.

Using the Scientific method of investigation:


Aim: What the experiment / investigation is about.
Method: Instructions on how the experiment / investigation is carried out. This includes the equipment.
Findings: What have we learnt or found out from our experiment / investigation. This is called Data, Information or Facts. It is displayed in a chart, table or picture.
Conclusion:  Two Huramanu science goals:
To always add photos to my posts
To make sure that I'm in my readers shoes and make sure they understand what I have wrote
to make sure that I have great punctuation
to try and get a science badge


THE BIG PICTURE


What animals keep our jackets warm?

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?

GROUP ACTIVITY; 
Groups of 3 or 4 students.

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.
