Hurumaru: Water cycle

AIM: TO LOOK AT THE WATER CYCLE AND HOW CLIMATE CHANGE IS AFFECTING IT.

Definition: The cycle of processes by which water circulates between the earth's oceans, atmosphere, and land, involving precipitation as rain and snow, drainage in streams and rivers, and return to the atmosphere by evaporation and transpiration.

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.

We will be conducting an experiment that looks at the different ways that climate change is affecting the water cycle.

THE WATER CYCLE EXPERIMENT

Bag 1: Normal Water cycle

Bag 2: Water cycle with CO2 added: like Oceans in climate change

Bag 3: Water cycle with ice added: like Antarctica in climate change

Material: 

1.  Plastic bag
2.  2 drops of food coloring
3.  Vivid marker
4.   1 cup of water

Steps:

1.  Someone in your group gets a plastic bag
2.  Draw all the scientific words and what they mean in a picture 
3.  Get 1 cup of water
4. Tip 2 blue food coloring in the water
5. Put a litmus paper on top of your bag.

Two Images:

 

Conclusion: The water cycle it's how the rain works. The rain will do again and again.

	The Water Cycle: Bag 1	CO2 Water Cycle: Bag 2 Acid	Desert Water Cycle Bag 3
Does it cycle?	Yes, it does	Yes, it does	Yes, it does
Amount of Water	2	2	2
Acidity	1	2	1

Key: Water and acidity amount: 1 = none 

2 = small drips

3 = large drips

Other comments:

1. Bag 1: Yes it does cycle.

2. The amount of water drips 2 small.

3. Acidity 1 nothing.

4. Bag 2: Yes it does cycle again.

5. The amount of water 2 small drips.

6. Acidity 2 small drips.

7. Bag 3: All of the bags do cycles.

8. The amount of water drips 2 small.

9. Acidity 1 nothing.

Conclusion: All of the bags do cycle and work perfectly. All of the bags do have 2 small drips. The acidity for bags 1 and 3 have 1 that means nothing. The acidity from bag 2 has 2 mean small drips.

Draw a labeled diagram of the Water Cycle

Water cycle words:

1. Precipitation- Precipitation is when the water released from the cloud and cost rain.
2. Hurricanes- Hurricane can make the storm very strong.
3. Storms- Storms can make larger and bigger.
4. Evaporation- when the liquid is changing to gas or vapor.
5. Carbon Dioxide- When the water vapor and oxygen released into the air.
6. Water-Water is a liquid and can also drink.
7. Oceans- Most of the precipitation falls back into the ocean.
8. Water vapor- Evaporation turns liquid water into a gas called water vapor.
9. Freshwater- fresh water is from the precipitation.
10. Flooding- Flooding can cost a higher flood when. sewers are blocked.

SOLO Hexagons Activity

Water cycle words:

1. Precipitation
2. Hurricanes
3. Storms
4. Evaporation
5. Carbon Dioxide
6. Water
7. Oceans
8. Water vapor
9. Freshwater
10. Flooding

TODAY YOU WILL BE INVESTIGATING THE EFFECTS THAT CLIMATE CHANGE HAS ON THE WATER CYCLE.

1. Using your SOLO hexagons poster write a paragraph about the different aspects of climate change.
2. Write about the following Climate Change concepts:

You can do these by powerpoint, embedding a movie, on your blog, on a doc or any other form of presentation. It is up to you.

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

Ocean acidification decreases the ph of the ocean and makes more sea acidic. The seawater change chemistry due and absorption of carbon dioxide to our atmosphere. The people made 30% of carbon dioxide CO2 and absorbed to the ocean.

DEFORESTATION AND CLIMATE CHANGE

DEFORESTATION: HOW DOES DEFORESTATION AFFECT CLIMATE CHANGE?

Deforestation is Cutting trees that can affect us. If we don't have any trees the carbon dioxide will block our atmosphere. The heat from the sun will keep on bouncing on the ground to our atmosphere and it will be doing it again and again when the carbon dioxide is blocking our atmosphere. Trees can also take down the carbon and release oxygen.

ICECAP MELT: HOW DOES ICECAP MELT AFFECT CLIMATE CHANGE? 

Melting ice can cause more global warming. They are darker colors of the ocean and land. It absorbs more solar radiation and releases the heat to the atmosphere. It can cost more global warning in this way. Melting ice caused a lot of global warming and the ocean increases more water.

Water Vapour: HOW DOES CLIMATE CHANGE CONTRIBUTE TO WATER VAPOUR AND EVAPORATION? The water vapor can send up by the evaporation and make a cloud. If there's more heat more rain just like the hotter places and if there's less heat less rain like normal climate.

Drama (Puppets)

This week and last week we've been doing in Drama are about puppets shows. I will show the puppet that I made after I explain about the Drama. First, we pick a paper bag next we decorate it with color paper. In my group are Shikarn, Ruavai, and me. Some people just draw with a permanent white marker in their puppet and nothing else. After we decorate our puppet the teacher recorded and talk about the 4 physical health but we only need to choose one.

Here's is my puppet⤵️.

Solo Taxonomy

This term we have been doing Science every Tuesdays, and Thursday. Today we've been doing a Solo Taxonomy. Here's my work⤵️.

1. Prestructural:

• No organization.
• Unconnected ideas.

2. Unistructural:

• One idea.
• Shows connected thoughts.

3. Multi-structural: 

• 2 or 3 ideas.
• Some connectedness.

4. Relational:

• Make links to other concepts.

5. Abstract:

• Bringing your ideas into other concepts

Going to Charlesworth Reserve

Today I'm going to tell you about what happened when we went to Charlesworth Reserve. I made a blog post about Charlesworth Reserve and why we are planting it. There is some information about the Charlesworth Reserve. We went to Charlesworth Reserve on 3 July. There were some of all of us gardening and picking up rubbish sorry that I'm not in the pictures. There are 3 classes that went to the Charlesworth Reserve there're Wh, Ts, and us Al. There were 1 bus and 2 vans I decided to choose the bus because I like the bus when I was in the Philipines. When we arrived in Charlesworth Reserve Mr. Andrew guide us where are going to plant. We pick up a spade and down to the wetland. After we go down we listen to the instructions and group 2 people in one group. We're going to plant a water rush but they called it rush for short. I didn't get on a group because I take out my boots in my bag and wear it but I did my best when I was in solo. I planted 3 rush because can't see any rush now suddenly me and Axle found a rush beside us. I helped Axle plant 4 rush so now I have 7 rush planted. We only planted over 200 rush. After we planted all the rush we eat for our interval. After we eat we go to the Mitre 10. After we arrived at Mitre 10 we saw Andrew again and now he has gloves. The instruction now is to pick up all the rubbish that you see. We saw a lot of rubbish around there. After we clean all up we go back to the bus and go to school.

Here are the pictures⤵️.
  

I hope you like my blog post about Going to Charlesworth Reserve and if you really like it please comment to my blog.Thanks Bye!
