SLJ prep 2

For this activity, let’s imagine that Donald Trump called you up and asked for your opinion on this controversial issue.

On your blog, please tell us what you think about his plan to build a wall between the USA and Mexico. Is it a good idea or a bad idea? Why do you think so?

The current President of the United States of America (U.S.A.) is a man named Donald Trump. He was elected President in 2016. At the time, he promised the American people that he would build a wall between the U.S.A. and Mexico - the country immediately south of the United States. He made this promise because he wanted to stop people from crossing the American-Mexican border.

Earlier this year, a migrant caravan (people moving in a large group) came through South and Central America on its way to the Mexican-American border. The people in the caravan were heading to America to find jobs and build a better life for themselves and their families. You can learn more about them in this video.

Donald Trump’s plan to build the wall is very controversial (some people strongly agree with his idea and others strongly disagree).

Donald Trump’s plan to build the wall is very controversial (some people strongly agree with his idea and others strongly disagree).

The wall would be a bad idea not only would it not keep people out but it's not physically possible the wall would have to be over 3000 km (2000 miles) and to pay for that it would cost between 15 to 25 billion (US) dollars

Hurumanu - Climate Change and Greenhouse gases

Hurumanu - Climate Change and Greenhouse gases

AIM: TO LOOK AT CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT.

THE GREENHOUSE GASES

The Greenhouse Effect experiment

Materials

1. 2 plastic bottles 
2.  3 heat lamps
3.  2 thermostatic 
4.  2 corks
5. baking soda

Procedure

1.  cut off cap parts of plastic botels to fit the corks
2. put corks in 
3. shove thermostat through corks  
4. put water in bottles 
5. put baking soda in 1
6. turn on heat lamps pointing at bottles
7. measure heat ever 5 mins

Findings: The Greenhouse Effect Data 

Minutes	Bottle 1: Water	Bottle 2: CO2 Gas
5	10	10
10	24	25
15	25	26
20	25	27

Conclusion:

The regular clean air will heat up slower because there is no gas traping in the heat think of the heat as water and the air like a sponge the regular air is a normal sponge soaking in the heat but the gas is a more absorbent powerful sponge is it soaks up more of the heat. 

Fossil Fuels

FACTORIES: Making clothes, cars, electronics, and processed foods creates a lot of pollution. When materials like plastic, cardboard, metal, and cement are made, harmful gases are released into the air and water.

COWS: Cows create a greenhouse gas called methane when they burp and fart. Methane is a greenhouse gas that is 25 times more powerful than carbon dioxide. With about 1.5 billion cows around the world, methane is having a big effect on climate change.

TRANSPORTATION: Most cars need gas or diesel to work. These come from oil, which is a fossil fuel. The carbon dioxide in oil goes into the atmosphere when the car is running.

LANDFILL: Our landfills are growing and using up more healthy land. When waste breaks down in landfills, greenhouse gases are created, including methane and carbon dioxide. These gases contribute to climate change.

FOOD: We need food to survive, but it creates a lot of pollution. Transporting food by ships, planes, trains, and trucks add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Clearing the land for farms and farming practices also create greenhouse gases.

ELECTRICITY: Electricity is a form of energy used to power almost everything in our homes. Electricity can come from renewable sources (water, wind, sun) and non-renewable sources like fossil fuels (oil, and gas). Fossil fuels release CO2 into the atmosphere.

How do we work in this laboratory?

1. Beginning and End of class: Lining up, Entry, Seating, 
2. Equipment tray: equipment list and details.

• Test tube - This is used for experiments using liquids. They have a bung that can be placed in the top. Test tubes sit in a test tube rack.Conical Flask - This is used for experiments with liquid up to 150 ml. The flask has a rubber bung for the top and the glass is heatproof.
• Glass Stirring rod - This is a 20cm glass rod used to stir and mix any liquids together.
• Test tube tongs - These are used to hold a hot test tube after an experiment.
• Spatula - This is for holding very small amounts of chemical powders.
• 
• Funnel - used to channel liquids into a smaller container.
• Measuring Cylinder - This is used to measure liquids for experiments. The liquids will be poured into a beaker or test tube once measured out.

Hurumanu: The Water Cycle

Hurumanu: The Water Cycle

AIM: TO LEARN ABOUT WATER ON EARTH.

Definition:

Scientific words:

• Evaporation. When water is heated by radiant energy it turns into water vapor.
• Transpiration. Evaporation from plants.
• Condensation. When water vapor cools, molecules join together and form clouds.
• Precipitation. When clouds get heavy the waters falls as rain, sleet, hail, or snow.
• Acidification: the action or process of making or becoming acidic.

 Hi, guys today we were talking about self-management. In this topic, We talked about how we can manage our learning. She told us to get into a group of two and make a DLO. Something I did that shows that I am a self-manager is I was organized with all my things at the right time. What can I do to be a better self-manager? I can sit alone. Here is our DLO.

Reflection 

How it tasted 

Fine, it was a little spicy even though I skipped on the sauces. 

Overall experience 

Bad the table my group was sitting at didn't have enough room for everyone so I had to sit at another table.

Trip + how shopping went

not good my half my group was screaming for pickles but we didn't have enough money.

How you got on with the group 

Bad the screaming with the pickles was bad and everyone was grabbing and touching the ingredients when they didn't need to.
