Hurumanu - Decomposing and Recycling

Hello, We are doing an amazing experiment. Im is so excited what it looks like. We are working with 3-4 groups to do this experiment.


Aim: To learn about the rate that different materials decompose. 

Hypothesis: I think that......  

Then  I think that banana going to break down first because it's part of the fruit and it easy to eat.

Materials:

1. Paper
2.  Banana
3. Bread
4.   Styrofoam
5.   4x Test Tube
6.   Test Tube Blocker
7.   Test Tube rack
8.  water

Steps:

1.   Get the four-Test Tube.
2.  Put each material in each cube.
3.  Like Banana, Paper, Bread  and Stylophone
4.  Put water in the bread only inside the Test Tube.
5.  We need to wait 5 weeks to see the result.

Test Tube

Findings:

TODAY	Colour	Change	Observations
Banana	Yellow/Brown		Taking half of the tube
Paper	Brown		Almost Full of paper in the  tube
Styrofoam cup	White		Taking half of the tube
Bread	White/brown		Taking Half of the tube

•   The Banana is yellow and taking half of the tube.
• The paper is brown and almost full in the tube.
• The Styrofoam cup is white and taking half of the tube.
• The Bread is white/brown and Taking half of the tube.

3 weeks	Colour	Change	Observations
Banana	brown and black and green	Mould and returning from the top	Half of the banana move up and the half soften down.
Paper	Brown	No change	Paper no change it's just same
Styrofoam cup	White	No change	Styrofoam cup no change
Bread	White and brown	soften down	There is a tiny bit part of the bread is on the top and the rest part of the bread is in down.

•   The banana is yellow and half of the banana move up and the half soften down.
• The paper is brown and paper no change.  
• The styrofoam is white and no change.
• The bread is white and brown. There is a tiny bit of the bread is on the top and the rest part of the bread is in down.

5 weeks	Colour	Change	Observations
Banana	Yellow and green	The banana was melted like water	The banana was
Paper	Brown	No change	No Changes
Styrofoam cup	White	No change	No Changes
Bread	Yellow and brown	The bread was softened down	The bread was softened down  and it looks like melted

  

•   The Banana is yellow and green and the banana was melted like water
•    The paper is brown and No changes
•     The Styrofoam is white and no changes
•    The bread is yellow and brown and the bread was softened down and it looks like melted.

Conclusion:

 In each test tube, there was something inside, 

Climate Change Orana Park

Hi, This week we have been in orana park and watching those amazing animals, Today Im sharing about what we have seen in orana park and what we enjoy.

3 thing you enjoyed about the trip.

1. I enjoy having morning tea and lunch
2. I enjoy watching those amazing animals
3. I enjoy taking a picture of those animals

4  Facts you learnt

1. I learn about the  African wild dog if they escape in there home, they will chase there pray until there prey has no more energy left and claps and immediately massacre. 
2.  I learn about the kiwi bird, There is only one there and when we go inside its very dark because the kiwi bird is new.
3. I learn about How to feed the giraffes. If u have the food for giraffe and u give it to them u need to use your two hands because they will also eat the stick and stuck inside in their neck.
4. When you want to look at the cheetah, don't focus at there eyes because they think u wanna fight them. 

4 climate change facts you learn about Orana park Environment/animals

My Investigation on climate change

Welcome to my new another science blog.

My Investigation on climate change

ACIDIFICATION 

DEFINITION: the action or process of making or becoming acidic.

What is happening to the oceans?  The ocean is absorbing carbon dioxide, it is good for us, but not really good for the ocean, The ocean put acidic.

What does this do to shellfish?
They do not grow properly

HOW DOES CLIMATE CHANGE CONTRIBUTE TO THE ACIDIFICATION OF OUR OCEANS?

DEFORESTATION

DEFINITION: the action of clearing a wide area of trees.

What are trees used for?

 Lots of people who live on the mountain or forest they plant a vegetable or a fruit. When the fruit and vegetable tree big, They will collect all the vegetable and fruit and they will bring it to the city and sell it.

HOW DOES DEFORESTATION AFFECT THE CLIMATE?

It affects climate change because lots of people plant trees, and other people want to cut down the trees because they think it is very useless.

ICECAP MELT

DEFINITION: ice melting and landing on the ocean

If all the ice melted what would happen?

There are lots of water coming to the ocean

HOW DOES ICECAP MELT AFFECT CLIMATE CHANGE?

It will be so bad if they all ice melted because all the water goes to the ocean.

WATER VAPOUR

DEFINITION:  Water vapour can be produced from the evaporation or boiling of liquid water or from the sublimation of ice.

HOW DOES  WATER VAPOUR AND EVAPORATION CONTRIBUTE TO CLIMATE CHANGE? 

As the climate warms, air temperatures rise, more evaporation from water sources and land occurs, thus increasing the atmospheric moisture content.

Conclusion:


  I learn about lots of information about climate change. I also search in google what is the definition of something like acidification.  I also add 2 images on each question and definition
