I am a student at in Uru Mānuka. In 2020 I was a year 8 and in 2021 I will be a year 9. This is a place where I will be able to share my learning with you. Please note....some work won't be edited - just my first drafts, so there may be some surface errors. I would love your feedback, comments, thoughts and ideas.

kids can
Hello my name is Jrae and this is my blog in today we are learning about Kids Can and how they help people. It will be very exciting, this is my slide about it please leave a comment below.
What might be a challenge with this project?
the colours there are so meany colours
What have we planned this morning?radical rainbow day
What was you idea?
How did you come up with it?last school had it
Share 2 facts about Kids Can, what do they do?
they help kids and save lives
What role would you like to have in the Mufti Day?nothing
much
What are you looking forward to with this project? Mufti Day.

AIM: TO LOOK AT THE WATER CYCLE AND HOW CLIMATE CHANGE IS AFFECTING IT.
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.
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:
- water / soder water
- bag
- food colouring
- litmus paper
- sand
- vived marker
Steps:
Two Images:
Findings:
The Water Cycle: Bag 1
|
CO2 Water Cycle: Bag 2
Acid
|
Desert Water Cycle
Bag 3
| |
Does it cycle?
| yes | yes | yes |
Amount of Water
| 2 | 2 | 2 |
Acidity
| 1 | 3 | 1 |
Key: Water and acidity amount: 1 = none
2 = small
3 = large
Other comments:
bag 1 cycled
bag 1 had no acidity
bag 2 cycled
bag 2 had 3 acidity
Conclusion:
There is a water cycle in the when there is acid.
Draw a labelled diagram of the Water Cycle
Water cycle words:
- Precipitation
- Hurricanes
- Acid rain
- Evaporation
- Carbon Dioxide
- Water
- Defirestation
- Water vapour
- Transpiration
- Flooding
TODAY YOU WILL BE INVESTIGATING THE EFFECTS THAT CLIMATE CHANGE HAS ON THE WATER CYCLE.
- Using your SOLO hexagons poster write a paragraph about the different aspects of climate change.
- 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?

RENEWABLE ENERGY
Aim: To compare the amount of gas that is produced from different types of biomass.
Material:
Steps:
Investigation.
What is biomass?
What are the 5 types of biomass?
What are the 5 types of biomass?
Most biomass used today is home grown energy. Wood—logs, chips, bark, and
sawdust—accounts for about 44 percent of biomass energy. But any organic
matter can produce biomass energy. Other biomass sources can include
agricultural waste products like fruit pits and corncobs.
Wood and wood waste are used to generate electricity. Much of the electricity is
used by the industries making the waste; it is not distributed by utilities, it is a
process called cogeneration. Paper mills and saw mills use much of their waste
products to generate steam and electricity for their use. However, since they use
so much energy, they need to buy additional electricity from utilities.
W
What are three benefits of biomass?
Advantages and Disadvantages. 1) Biomass used as a fuel reduces need for fossil fuels for the production of heat, steam, and electricity for residential, industrial and agricultural use. 2)Biomass is always available and can be produced as a renewable resource
What are three disadvantages of biomass?
- Biomass is always and widely available as a renewable source of energy. ...
- It is carbon neutral. ...
- It reduces the overreliance of fossil fuels. ...
- Is less expensive than fossil fuels. ...
- Biomass production adds a revenue source for manufacturers. ...
- Less garbage in landfills. ...
- Biomass energy is not as efficient as fossil fuels.Good work.
Research the following types of Biomass.
You will need to:
You will need to:
Write a definition of the each fuel.
Answer each question
- How is it made?
- What is it used for?
- Where is it made?
- What is it made with?
- What countries use it?
Place 2 images of the fuel.
