Science Recycling

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 though recycling these products?

Plastics: Prevents us from burning it and it doesn't release carbon dioxide 
Cycling or walking: You save the planet because using you car uses gas and It gets in the air 
Paper: When you make paper you cut done trees and oxygen 
Steel: We can stop using coal to burn down steel and reusing it makes it not release carbon dioxide 

Video questions:

What is Zero Waste?
It is one of the quickest and cheapest ways a community can immediately reduce climate impact. 
What can we do on the planet?

1.   Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Repair
2.   Stop feeding land fills 
3.  Start feeding the soils 
4.  If we use zero waste each time we shut down a carbon dioxide factory 

What do we need to recycle?

Plastic, Steel and  Paper

What does recycling do?

Saves the planet because we don't release carbon dioxide so the planet doesn't heat up as fast 

How much of our rubbish is food scraps?

90,000

What does soil do to carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

When plants die the soil brakes down and takes the carbon dioxide and keeps it in the soil 

What do we need to do?

1. Make P_____product____s. 
2. Have Zero ___Waste________

What is a carbon footprint?

Something that we use to with carbon dioxide 

How can you make your Carbon Footprint smaller?

by not throwing out as much rubbish and going in a car as much 

1.Turn the light of in a room when i leave it 

2. Not use as much electricity 

3. Walk to places

AT WHAT RATES DO DIFFERENT ITEMS DECOMPOSE?

MY INVESTIGATION.

Choose 5 items from the list and investigate them. 

You need to answer three questions.

Name: Coke Can

1. How long do they take to decompose? It Takes it around 50 years 
2. What resource / fossil fuel are they made from? Metal 
3. How is this resource recycled? It goes through a re-melt process 
4. How does this object contribute to climate change? It May Get thrown on the ground and and no one pick it and so it goes to sea and seals or penguins get a part of their body stuck in the can 

Name: Leafs 

1. How long do they take to decompose? 6 to 12 months
2. What resource / fossil fuel are they made from? Stems and Roots 
3. How is this resource recycled? you just leave them alone and when you mow your lawns the decompose 
4. How does this object contribute to climate change? They Don't 

Name: Plastic Bottle 

1. How long do they take to decompose? 450 years 
2. What resource / fossil fuel are they made from? polymers
3. How is this resource recycled? They are sorted into what type of plastic it is and then they are cleaned the put through a Shredder and they come out in a tiny little ball 
4. How does this object contribute to climate change? Animals that live in the sea could eat them and then the animals could die and the earth will also heat up faster 

Name: Plastic Bag 

1. How long do they take to decompose?1000 years 
2. What resource / fossil fuel are they made from? ubiquitous polymer substance known as polyethylene
3. How is this resource recycled? They Can Be Melted Down and made into a new batch of plastic bags 
4. How does this object contribute to climate change? It Heats the earth faster

Name: Orange Peel 

1. How long do they take to decompose? six months 
2. What resource / fossil fuel are they made from? Corn starch
3. How is this resource recycled? It's enough to add them to some alcohol and leave them in a jar for 3-4 days Then boil a water and join some sugar
4. How does this object contribute to climate change? They Don't 

My Review About Night Vision

This is the book I have been reading,↑It is a great book and I really recommend it for people that like a mystery. My favorite part of it is when we find out that the car has been set on fire. I  like the book a lot because it reminds me of another book I have read before but I don't remember the name of the book that it reminds me of. The part I don't really like is the ending because it isn't really interesting and needs more about it. The questions I still have is does Viola get back home? Does the guy that took Viola get put in jail? those are all questions I ask if I can kindly have answers to those questions that I wrote down, I would be truly happy and grateful. I think that Ella West should make a part two to this book.

Overall if I were to rate this book out of five I would rate it a five out of five.
Please remember that you could find this book at your library and if you do get it out and read it because it is a fantastic book.

Hey everone update i just got a reply from ella west here it is

Drama puppet show

For Drama we made some puppets and it was so fun.
We all got to make our own puppet show apart from some people because they were away.
We all got to pear up with people and make a plan on what we were going to do.
For my puppet show I did something about not eating to much chocolate.
What I liked about the puppet show was that I was able to watch other peoples puppet shows and they were awesome.
What do you think of my blog post and what do you think of my puppet show I really hope you enjoyed my post.
if you don't know what to put in a comment then here is some help.
Thoughtful- give a compliment about the post
Helpful-  Tell me something i could work on
Positive- say hi and say what you liked the most

My Trip To Charles Worth Reserve

Yesterday the 3 of July my class and two other classes went on a trip to Charles Worth Reserve. We went to pick up rubbish and plant trees. Our Aim was to plant as many trees and pick up as much rubbish as we can to fix climate change. We Planted Is called Rush we planted two types of it, in the photos you will see what they are.  Here are some things that happened...

First when we got there we had some morning tea so we had food in our system then after morning tea we had to go for a little bit of a walk to where we were planting first the  1 of the photos I have is were we planted first. We had a ranger to tell us what to do his name was Andrew. Then after a while of planting we went back to were we started to have some lunch. After lunch we went to Mitre ten to pick up rubbish. After that we got called back to Andrew's truck because it was time to go back to school.

After all of that my conclusion for the day was...
It was a really good day and I enjoyed having it with my friends😁😁

Conclusion:

For our science we had to do a science solo thing that we had to do we had 10 hexagons and had to connect them. So we started with evaporation and connected Freshwater, Carbon Dioxide, Oceans Water Vapor. Then we went onto condensation and connected Precipitation, Storms, Flooding, Hurricanes To It 

Draw a labelled diagram of the Water Cycle

Water cycle words:

1. Precipitation the action or process of precipitating a substance from a solution.
2. Hurricanes a storm with a violent wind, in particular a tropical cyclone in the Caribbean.
3. Storms a violent disturbance of the atmosphere with strong winds and usually rain, thunder, lightning, or snow.
4. Evaporation 
   the process of turning from liquid into vapour.
5. Carbon Dioxide a colourless, odourless gas produced by burning carbon and organic compounds and by respiration. It is naturally present in air (about 0.03 per cent) and is absorbed by plants in photosynthesis.
6. Water a colourless, odourless gas produced by burning carbon and organic compounds and by respiration. It is naturally present in air (about 0.03 per cent) and is absorbed by plants in photosynthesis.
7. Oceans a very large expanse of sea, in particular each of the main areas into which the sea is divided geographically.
8. Water vapour aqueous vapor is the gaseous phase of water. It is one state of water within the hydrosphere. Water vapor can be produced from the evaporation or boiling of liquid water or from the sublimation of ice. Unlike other forms of water, water vapor is invisible.
9. Freshwater of or found in fresh water; not of the sea.
10. Flooding the covering or submerging of normally dry land with a large amount of water.
