Science Week 2 Day 4

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, formed in the geological past from the remains of living organisms.


Questions I Have To Answer

What is our greatest threat in thousands of years?

Answer:Climate Change and us having no world left

How do we see climate change affecting the globe?

1. Floods  
2.  Storms
3. Higher Sea Levels
4.  Air Pollution

What is needed to change history?

The Answer Is To Stop Polluting the air and water with stuff that can pollute our world

Is climate change a man made disaster?

Yes Climate Change is a man made disaster. Because we are making it happen.

Dramatic action must be made in the next _10_ years to change it?

Why is our climate changing?

Because of us Polluting the air and the sea

What is causing the warming trend of the climate?

Us Making Things that use power

What is the main problem?

The World Heating Up Each Year

What are examples of these?

1.Pulltion

2.Heat Waves

3. Flooding

4. Hurricanes

5. Tornados

6. Sea Levels rising

Burning fossil fuels releases what gas?

carbon dioxide

How much hotter now is our world?

1 degrees Celsius

What do we call this global warming?

Climate Change

How is this affecting creatures / animals like bats?

It Is Overheating So The Creatures Are Dying

What percentage of species are near extinction?

8%

How could this affect the world ecosystems?

Overview. Climate is an important environmental influence on ecosystems.
Changing climate affects ecosystems in a variety of ways.
For instance, warming may force species to migrate to higher latitudes
or higher elevations where temperatures are more conducive to their survival

What global change was seen and recording breaking last year?

Last year was so hot that global land- and ocean-surface temperatures were 1.42 degrees
Fahrenheit (0.79 degrees Celsius) above the 20th-century average, NOAA reported. Since 1880,
when record-keeping began,
only three years — 2016 (the highest, in part because of El Niño), 2015 and 2017 — were hotter

How is climate change affecting our weather systems?

1. The Water Levels Rising

2.  More Storms

3. Heaver Rain Falling

What is another effect of climate change?

global climate change is now occurring: loss of sea ice, accelerated sea level rise and longer,
more intense heat waves.

What will happen if the ice melts in Antarctica and the Arctic?

Hotter weather is also melting ice on land, increasing the volume of water in the ocean.
Scientists are now paying particularly close attention to warming inAntarctica, home to 90 percent of our
planet's ice. If it were all to melt, it would raise sea levels by 190 feet.

How does this affect people?

Our changing climate will affect our economy, environment and way of life.
This page has the climate changes we can expect in New Zealand and the likely impacts.  
It links to information that local government can use to prepare for climate change and actions you can take.

What other things affect oceans change?

• A Warmer Ocean.
• Melting of the Poles.
• Rising Sea Levels.
• Changes to the Ocean's Major Current Systems.
• Ocean Acidification.

                                    What does too much heat do to the coral?

Rising Ocean Temperatures Can Kill Corals. Humans are pumping more and
more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. That's trapping excess heat and causing the
surface of the planet to warm. However, surface warming accounts for only about 7 percent
of the excess heat our planet is taking on

Why did some industries not want to stop burning fossil fuels?

Rising Ocean Temperatures Can Kill Corals. Humans are pumping more and more
greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. That's trapping excess heat and causing the surface
of the planet to warm. However, surface warming accounts for only about 7 percent of the excess heat our
planet is taking on

Scientific Terms for Students

• coal: a dark-brown to black solid substance formed naturally from the compaction and hardening of fossilized 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 (e.g., coal, gas)

Examples of Fossil Fuels:

1.   Gas 
2.   Oil 
3. Coal 

My Cookie Work 
My Cookie Had Lost Of Chocolate Chips It Looked A Little Bit Like this 

Then We Had To Choose A Setting And I Choose The Sea 
Like This 

We Then had answer some questions here are the questions i had and my answers
1. What type of ecosystem is it?
Answer: It Is We Because It Is Under Water 
2. What Plants and animals live there?
Answers:
1. Fish 
2. Seals
3.Turtles 
_______
3. How Do Humans Use This Space 
Answer: To Swim 
Then We Picked Out all the chocolate chips and my cookie broke and looked like this

And Then We Had To Draw The Ecosystem How It Would Be If All The Animals Died So I Think It Would Look Like This 

And then i had to answer another three questions Here They Are With My Answers
1.How Has The Ecosystem Changed?
Answer: All The animals died 
2. What Lives There Now?
Answer: Nothing Because All The Animals Died 
3. What are some ways we can avoid situations like this in the future?
Answer: Not Using As Much Rubbish And Plastic  

Conclusion: What I Learnt From This Lesson Is That Climate Change Will Happen Soon If We Keep Up what we are doing and it is dangerous because we might not have a planet to live on if we keep it up. so

 SAVE THE PLANET STOP USING PLASTIC🙋
