Crazy for kids can reserch and why we donate to theam

Kia ora bloggers today for our work we have to research about Kids can and name reasons why we donate to them.  I have made a DLO on my chrome book on a google slide here it enjoy...

Last weeks cool to be kind work recap.

Kia ora bloggers last week we made a poster about a mufti day for the 8th of August Thursday.  Some people made a poster on a printed piece of paper and added colour and took a picture and blogged it.  I made a DLO on my Chromebook and posted it last week if you want to have a look here is the slide just in case you haven't seen it...

Hurumanu - Solar Energy

Solar Energy

Catching the sun movie

Materials:

1. Cups x (4) 
2.  Water 
3.  Tinfoil
4. Thmomatere  
5.  Black and white paper 
6. 2 Sheets of white paper-A4 size.
7. Heat lamp
8. Large cup. 

Steps

1. Get 3 small cups and 1 large cup
2. Fill the small cups with tap water. 
3. Put the big cup on top of one of the small cups. 
4. Put two of the cups on the white piece of paper and the other two on the tin foil and on the black paper.

Which surface conducts/attracts the most heat?

Time + temperature	Cup 1 White paper	Cup 2 White paper+ plastic.	Cup 3 Black paper	Cup 4 Tinfoil
0	14-15	14-15	14-15	14-15
15 minutes	18	16	24	26.
30 minutes	19	24	24	23
45 minutes	20	19	23	24

Findings: We found that they were all different temperatures and that the one with the big cup on it did not change temperatures at all and the one that was on the tinfoil was the hottest.   

Drama/ Pubescence/Adolescence and Bio Poetry.

Kia ora bloggers on Tuesday we learned about puberty. The important things we learned about are when boys get a deeper voice and About the penis and the vaginas and the periods will not describe the main details about the penis and the vaginas and periods as they are private and you should learn them in other classes. We were also creating our own chorus poems in groups I got into a group of four with... Kadyn, Joseph, and Jayden.

Here is the poem I and my group are doing...

He waltzes into the lane

’cross the free-throw line,

fakes a drive, pivots,

floats from the asphalt turf

in an arc of black light,

and sinks two into the chains.

One on one he fakes

down the main, passes

into the free lane

and hits the chains.

A sniff in the fallen air—

he stuffs it through the chains

riding high:

“travelling” someone calls—

and he laughs, stepping

to a silent beat, gliding

as he sinks two into the chains.

Renewable energy

Hurumanu - From Trash to Gas: Biomass

RENEWABLE ENERGY

Renewable Energy film

Biomass

Aim: To compare the amount of gas that is produced from different types of biomass.

Material:

1. (3x) plastic bottle
2. 3 balloons 
3. permanent marker  
4. disposable gloves   
5.  Cup
6. Fresh horse manure 
7.   mashed banana 
8.   funnel 
9.  water. 
10. Vegetable peelings 

Steps:

1.  label the bottles... Horse manure... horse manure and mashed banana... Horse manure vegetable peelings.
2.   place one cup of manure in one bottle and fill the bottle and leave a little room in the bottle for air.
3.  Place one cup of manure in the bottle and add mashed banana and fill with water and leave a little bit of air.
4.  place the balloons on the 3 bottles.
5.  Watch.

   

Investigation.

Research the following Biomass fuels. You will need to:

Write a definition of fuel.

Write 8 sentences about fuel. 

• How is it made? 
• Where is it made? 
• What is it made with? 
• What countries use it? 
• What uses will it have in the future?  

Place 1 image of the fuel.

Biomass Fuel types.

Name Agricultural crops and wood fuels.

Research: Wood biomass is the main source of wood energy in New Zealand and in other, countries aswell. It comes in several forms, including firewood, shavings, sawdust, wood chips, agricultural crops and bark.

Name Animal waste.

Definition: Animal poo and wee

Research: Horse manure cow manure...

Name: Biogas

Definition: Gas

Research: gaseous fuel, especially methane, produced by the fermentation of organic matter.

Name: Biofuels

Definition: Natural gases.

Research: vegetable oils and liquid animal fats green diesel derived from algae and other plant sources.


Conclusion: This experiment aims to get the materials and use the instructions properly.  Once you have done these things the results should be that the germs in the horse manure and the other materials in the bottle and some heat should make the ballon rise bigger and bigger until the ballon can not rise any more. The important part of this experiment is to make sure you have followed the instructions correctly and have FUN while you are doing it.

Mufti day posters.

Kia ora bloggers today for CIP we made mufti day posters either on a device or a piece of paper that had the words Crazy for Kids can you had to colour it in and decorate.  I decided to make it on my device I made a poster on a slide here it is...

Recycling for science.

Hurumanu - 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 by recycling these products?

Plastics: It's not releasing carbon dioxide gas because you aren't burning anything.
Cycling or walking: Means that you are not driving and letting outgas
Paper: Means that you don't have do cut down more trees 
Steel: Mean you don't need to use coal to melt down the steel.

Video questions:

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

What can we do on the planet?

1. recycle
2.  reduce
3.  reuse
4. redesign
5. repair 

What do we need to recycle? plastic steel, paper, and other materials.

What does recycling do? Makes it so you don't have to cut down trees and burn the things that you're not using. 

How much of our rubbish is food scraps? 55%

What does soil due to carbon dioxide in the atmosphere? causes climate change and causes global warming.

What do we need to do? change our ways.

What is a carbon footprint?

How can you make your Carbon Footprint smaller?

ENERGY SAVING TIPS FILM

Name 4 of the tips.

1. turn off the socket on your wall
2. turn off your microwave
3.  turn off your TV 
4. turn off your light when not using it.

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: 

1. How long do they take to decompose?
2. What resource/fossil fuel are they made from?
3. How is this resource recycled?
4. How does this object contribute to climate change

How long do they take to decompose...  There are five things on this board that I have chosen to research.  Below there are the five things that I chose.

1. Glass… It is actually one of the longest man-made materials.  It takes about one million years to decompose. The fossil fuel is hydrocarbons and methane. fossil fuel Any fuel such as coal, petroleum crude oil or natural gas that has developed within the Earth over millions of years from the decayed remains of bacteria, plants or animals.Glass is 100% recyclable and can be recycled endlessly without loss in quality or purity. Glass is made from readily-available domestic materials, such as sand, soda ash, limestone and “cullet,” the industry term for furnace-ready recycled glass. The only material used in greater volumes than cullet is sand.
2. Plastic… Normally plastic take at least takes 1000 years to decompose. Plastics are derived from natural, organic materials such as cellulose, coal, natural gas, salt and, of course, crude oil. Crude oil is a complex mixture of thousands of compounds and needs to be processed before it can be used. The production of plastics begins with the distillation of crude oil in an oil refinery. Plastic recycling is the process of recovering scrap or waste plastic and reprocessing the material into useful products. ... Each time plastic is recycled, additional virgin materials must be added to help improve the integrity of the material. So, even recycled plastic has new plastic material added in.
3. Aluminium… Aluminium can take to 200-500 years to decompose/brake down. Bauxite is mined from the earth's crust and processed into alumina/aluminium. Because the ore is mined, it is often said that natural resources are being depleted.
Bauxite is mined from the earth's crust and processed into alumina/aluminium. Because the ore is mined, it is often said that natural resources are being depleted. ... Once these product applications reach the end of their useful life, the aluminium can be recycled and used again to make another product application.                                                                     
4. Styrofoam cup… It can at least take 500 years or forever to decompose/breakdown…
Plastics, also called polymers, are produced by the conversion of natural products or by the synthesis from primary chemicals generally coming from oil, natural gas, or coal. 

The process of recycling Styrofoam involves feeding the collected expanded-polystyrene EPS foam through conveyor belts into a machine that first shreds the material. ... This process reduces the volume of the foam by up to 1/50 of its original volume and turns the Styrofoam into neat and dense blocks.
