To low the Co2 Emisssions and reuse more trash and reduce more trash

What is a carbon footprint?

What is your Carbon Footprint?

Carbon Footprint Calculator

You are now going to look at your own carbon footprint by taking a questionaire. Remember to 'Add details to improve '.

Based on the questionaire what is your:

1. Ecological Footprint

2. Carbon Footprint

How many planets did you have?

What is your personal Earth overshoot day?

Hurumanu..Science term 3

Hello fellow readers welcome to my blog

	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	3	1

Key: Water and acidity amount: 1 = none 

2 = small 

3 = large 

Other comments: 

-Bag 1 cycle water 

-Bag 1 had a small amount of water 

- The acidity of Bag 1 was low

-Bag 2 CO2 water cycle

-Bag 2 had a small amount of water

-The acidity of Bag 2 was high

-Bag 3 Desert Water cycle

-Bag 3 had a small amount of water

-The acidity of Bag 3 was low

Conclusion:

Bag 1- In conclusion for bag 1 I think it was not as good as bag 2 but it was the same as bag 3.

Bag 2- In  conclusion for bag 2 I think it was better then  bag 1 and bag 2.

Bag 3- In conclusion for bag 3 I know it wasn't as good as it could as It could be.

Draw a labelled diagram of the Water Cycle

Water cycle words:

1. Precipitation
2. Hurricanes
3. Acid rain
4. Evaporation
5. Carbon Dioxide
6. Water
7. Defirestation
8. Water vapor
9. Transpiration
10. Flooding

Materials

1]Water

2]food colouring

3]Bag x3

4]Litmus paper

5]permanent marker

6]sand

Step 1. Draw a water cycle on the Bag and put your group's names on the Bag.

Step 2. Pour a cup of normal water into one bag and soda water into the other bag.

Step 3.Add two drops of food colouring into each bag.

Step 4. Seal the bags but leave a little gap in the bag with soda water in it.

Step 5. Put a piece of litmus paper into the bag with soda water in it.

Step 6. Put the bags on a window and wait to see what happened's to it.

Acidification 

It the action or process of making or becoming acidic.

The affect that Acidification has on climate change is that humus burn more and more fossil fuels, the concentration of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere which leaves bubbles in the ocean. 

Deforestation 
The action of clearing a wide area of trees.

The affect that Deforestation has on 

  
This was the most I could do hope you enjoy it.

Hurumanu..Climate Change

Hurumanu - Climate Change

Aim: To look at the causes of climate change and how to prevent it.

What is causing the warming trend of the climate?
Somthing to do with the warmth around the earth.

What is the main problem?

The ice is meating wihih is making the oceans warm and dangerous.

What are examples of these?

Own Experiment

The Plan.

1. What do we need to find out?How much salt we need to make water unable to freeze overnight in the freezer.
2. How will we find it out? By ding research on the internet.
3. How will we record what we find? Google Slides
4. What equipment do we need for the experiment? freezer, water,Bottle,Salt and a measuring cup.
5. How long will it take? 5 Minutes and overnight.

The Procedure

List them in 6 steps

Step 1;Get a bottle
Step 2:Get a measuring cup
Step 3: Get water & salt
Step 4:Measure your salt and put it in your water
Step 5:Put the salty water in the freezer overnight.
Step 6:The next morning get your salty water form the freezer and make sure it's not frozen.
