Aim; To look at the different ways we can prevent climate change in the future.



What places will be effected? 
pacific island and places around new zealand 

What else do we need to think about?
places near river 

What other places around NZ will be affected?
the coast/place close to the ocean population 

What does this do to our drinking water?
it will make i salty and bad for are healf

What are the main concerns? 
no fresh walter 
  1.   


What can we do?
  1.  to start using  electric cars   
  2. going away from fossil fuels.  
  3.     

What is the one, silver bullet solution?



What is the mix of things we need to start doing?

Activities:

Carbon Footprint

Dwelling
Water
Recreation
Heating and cooling
Electricity
Transportation
Food
Waste
Air Travel
Consumption

Colour 1: for actions they are already doing 
Colour 2: for actions that they pledge to undertake in the future

Ecological Handprint The Ecological handprint builds on the concepts from the Carbon Footprint. We will look at the positive actions of:

  1. Transportation
  2. Community
  3. Consumption
  4. Water
  5. Food
  6. Home
  7. Waste

        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.

        My Investigation on climate change


          ACIDIFICATION  THE OCEAN BECOME MORE WASTED 

          DEFINITION: ITS A BIG WIDE AREA WHEN TREES GETS CUT OF 

          What is happening to the oceans?                                     The ocean contains about 97% of all the water on Earth. The ocean plays a starring role in whatever happens with the environment. One big part of its role is to soak up energy (heat) and distribute it more evenly around the Earth

          What does this do to shellfish?

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