Water Cycle Climate Change

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

Definition:

Water Cycle

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

Steps:

1.  Get a plastic bag
2.  Get the vivid
3. Draw on the bag
4.  Get 1 cup of water
5. Get the food coloring and ak for 2 drops

Charlesworth Reserve

Today our teacher told us we are going to the Charlesworth Reserve next week on Wensday for C.I.P and we are going to plant some trees not gust any trees but native trees at Charlesworth Reserve and that is all the I know so far I will keep you guys up dated when I come back from when we go there.

What Is The Charlesworth Reserve?

Answer:Charlesworth Reserve is a wetland edge walk featuring restoration planting, wetland birds, and tidal pools. There are a couple of additional paths you can explore to extend your walk.

What are we planting at Charlesworth Reserve?

Answer:We are planting native plants for native animals to come back and have life in the native trees that will be able to have birds.

Who Is Charlesworth Named After?

Answer: English: habitational name from a place in Derbyshire named Charlesworth, from an Old English personal name Ceafl.

How Many Trees Does The Government Want Us To Plant?

Answer: 1 Billion. 

What Is The History?

Answer:Charlesworth Wetland Reserve is a 20-ha remnant salt marsh on the western edge of the AvonHeathcote Estuary/Ihutai in Christchurch. The wetland was extensively modified in the early 1900s by infilling and draining. Since the 1990s the Christchurch City Council has been restoring the area by creating tidal pools and planting. Between November 2015 and December 2018 two lines of tracking tunnels were used to monitor small mammals and lizards. At the same time terrestrial arthropods were monitored by using wooden disks and onduline (corrugated roofing material) as artificial habitat. The tunnels were baited once every two months with peanut butter to record footprints of animals passing through. The disks and onduline were checked every two months for arthropod presence. Indications from the tracking tunnels were that the common hedgehog was widespread within the reserve. Rats were regularly encountered within wetter areas and mice in the dryer areas. The wooden disks proved to be the most effective artificial habitat at the reserve. A greater number of animals and greater species diversity were encountered under the wooden disks than the onduline. An average of 35 species were encountered at each site over the duration of the monitoring. The site with the highest species diversity and number of individuals was the Linwood Ave site with 228 individuals and 39 species. The most common arthropod encountered over both habitats was the predatory.

Who Is The Captain Of Charlesworth Reserve?

Answer: Captain Williams.

why does the sun heat the earth even more?

Answer:The sun's radiation strikes the ground, thus warming the rocks. As the rock'stemperature rises due to conduction, heat energy is released into the atmosphere, forming a bubble of air which is warmer than the surrounding air.

who is the captain of Charlesworth Reserve?

His Name is William Charlesworth.

And this is his Grave.

This shows what it is. The map and the hole place like you can see every where you can go.

This is the end of my work I hope you enjoyed it. 😁😃

If you ask where did I get the information from I will link them under this.

Climate Change

What is our greatest threat in thousands of years?

Answer:Climate Change and us having no world left

How do we see climate change affecting the globe?

1. Floods  
2.  Storms
3. Higher Sea Levels
4.  Air Pollution

What is needed to change history?

The Answer Is To Stop Polluting the air and water with stuff that can pollute our world

Is climate change a man made disaster?

Yes Climate Change is a man made disaster. Because we are making it happen.

Dramatic action must be made in the next _10_ years to change it?

Why is our climate changing?

Because of us Polluting the air and the sea

What is causing the warming trend of the climate?

Us Making Things that use power

What is the main problem?

The World Heating Up Each Year

What are examples of these?

1.Pulltion

2.Heat Waves

3. Flooding

4. Hurricanes

5. Tornados

6. Sea Levels rising

Burning fossil fuels releases what gas?

carbon dioxide

How much hotter now is our world?

1 degrees Celsius

What do we call this global warming?

Climate Change

How is this affecting creatures / animals like bats?

It Is Overheating So The Creatures Are Dying

What percentage of species are near extinction?

8%

How could this affect the world ecosystems?

Overview. Climate is an important environmental influence on ecosystems.
Changing climate affects ecosystems in a variety of ways. For instance,
warming may force species to migrate to higher latitudes or higher elevations where
temperatures are more conducive to their survival

What global change was seen and recording breaking last year?

Last year was so hot that global land- and ocean-surface temperatures
were 1.42 degrees Fahrenheit (0.79 degrees Celsius) above the 20th-century average,
NOAA reported. Since 1880, when record-keeping began, only three years — 2016
(the highest, in part because of El Niño), 2015 and 2017 — were hotter

How is climate change affecting our weather systems?

1. The Water Levels Rising

2.  More Storms

3. Heaver Rain Falling

What is another effect of climate change?

global climate change is now occurring: loss of sea ice, accelerated sea level rise and longer,
more intense heat waves.

What will happen if the ice melts in Antarctica and the Arctic?

Hotter weather is also melting ice on land, increasing the volume of water in the ocean
. Scientists are now paying particularly close attention to warming in Antarctica,
home to 90 percent of our planet's ice. If it were all to melt, it would raise sea levels by 190 feet.

I hope you Enjoyed it ;)

Aim: To look at the causes of climate change and how to prevent it.

Investigation

You can decide on how you would like to do this investigation. Your presentation could be on the blog, slides, or powerpoint.

Investigate the different Fossil Fuels listed?

1. Coal
2. Oil

Write a paragraph and upload an image about each of these renewable energies.

Solar

Wind

Waves

Hydro

Write a reflection about what you have learnt about Climate Change and how it is going to affect 

Coal can affect us and our climate change by Coal causes global warming, which is linked with extreme weather and wildfires. Climate change is coal's most serious, long-term, global impact. Chemically, coal is mostly carbon, which, when burned, reacts with oxygen in the air to produce carbon dioxide, a heat-trapping gas.

Digi Tec

In Digi Tec for the last 6 or 7 weeks or so
And I made my game on Gamefroot you should try it. it is really fun to make your games on it.
So far I have only done leave 1 so far because I did leave 1 kid of long so that is why.
leave 1 is kid of like picking up things and then there is a door well first you need to find the key so you can open the door.
The thing that I liked to make this game is you need to find the key or you can't go to the next level.

This is the link to my game. (Save The Planet)
