Instrument familes

String family 

String family is a instrument it has strings on it. It has lots of different kind of string family=

Guitars

Violins

Cellos 

Electric Guitar

Harps 

Bass Guitar

Violas 

ect...

Wood wind

Wood wind is a instrument its like a flute and it makes noise when people blow in it.

 Brass

A brass instrument is a musical instrument that produces sound by sympathetic vibration of air in a tubular resonator in sympathy with the vibration of the player's lips. Brass instruments are also called labrosones, literally meaning"lip-vibrated instruments".

orchestra 

A group of people that sing together.

And a person leading the orchestra

 political will.

What else do we need to think about? sea levels rising

What other places around NZ will be affected? the islands

What does this do to our drinking water? gets it all salty

What are the main concerns? coastal flooding and coastal erosion

What can we do to prevent climate change?

What can we do?

1.  using electric cars  
2.  walking   
3.  not using air travel as much     

Curbing climate change

What is the one, silver bullet solution? there is none

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

1.   use renewables more
2.   get away from fossil fuels  
3.  use more electric stuff more

What are 3 others you can think of?

1.   walking to close places
2.   recycling 
3.   don't litter

water cycle

to day I can finely give the findings of the water cycle 

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	2	1

                                                                   Key: Water and acidity amount: 1 = none 

2 = small drips

3 = large drips

Other comments:

1. Water cycle 1 had no acidity

2. The water cycled in bag 1

3. The water formed small drops in bag 1 

4. Water cycle had some acid in bag 2

5. The water cycled in bag 2

6. The water formed small drops 2 

7. Water cycle 3 had no acidity

8. The water cycled in bag 3

9. The water formed small drips in bag 3

Conclusion:

the water did not make as much water because it was to cold so there wasn't as much sun

all of the bags formed the same amount of water

one bag had acid in it and all the acid got stuck at the top

wind power

Weather and Climate Change 

Extreme weather

Measuring weather.

Wind

Beaufort Wind Scale

Beaufort Force	Wind Speed (KPH)	Spins	Indicators	Terms Used in NWS Forecasts
0	0-2	0	Calm; smoke rises vertically.	Calm
1	2-5	10	Shown by direction of wind smoke drift, but not by wind vanes.	Light
2	6-12	40	Wind felt on face, leaves rustle; ordinary vanes moved by wind.	Light
3	13-20	80	Leaves and small twigs in constant motion; wind extends light flag.	Gentle
4	21-29	130	Raises dust and loose paper; small branches are moved.	Moderate
5	30-39	190	Small trees in leaf begin to o5sway; crested wavelets form on inland waters.	Fresh
6	40-50	250	Large branches in motion; whistling heard in telephone wires; umbrellas used with difficulty.	Strong
7	51-61	320	Whole trees in motion; inconvenience felt walking against the wind.	Strong
8	62-74	390	Breaks twigs off trees; generally impedes progress.	Gale
9	75-87	470	Slight structural damage.	Gale
10	88-101	550	Seldom experienced inland; trees uprooted; considerable structural damage occurs.	Whole gale
11	102-116	640	Very rarely experienced inland; accompanied by widespread damage.	Whole gale
12	117 or more	730+	Very rarely experienced; accompanied by widespread damage.	Hurricane

Wind speed - Making an anemometer.

MATERIALS

1. pencils
2. tape  
3. straws x4  
4. pin  
5. cups x4  

STEPS

1.   stick the straws together
2.   then you tape them so they are in the shape of the cross
3.   stick a pin though them
4.   stick it to the rubber of the pencil
5.   stick cups though the straw

Once you have made an anemometer we are going to record the wind speed.

Group size: 5

You will need:

Anemometer (above) 

Roles:

• Timekeeper
• Counter
• Recorder
• Anemometer Manager
• Wind generator

1. Mount the anemometer in a place that has full access to the wind from all directions.
2. When the time keeper says "Go", the counter in each group will count how many times the marked cup passes them in one minute and write it down.
3. If possible, repeat the above step four (4) times and record the average number of spins on the chart.

FINDINGS

• Record how many times it spins using the table below.

You will need to create the wind yourself by blowing. Get 4 different wind speeds by blowing.

You will need to time them and count the number of spins.

	Time Interval	Number of Spins
1.	10	13
2.	10	13
3.	10	6
4.	10	27

• Can you make a statement connecting the number of spins of your anemometer and the speed of the wind? 

CONCLUSION:

this is a great way to see how fast th ewing is travelling and how strong it is

Biofuels

RENEWABLE ENERGY

Renewable Energy film

Biomass

Aim: To compare the amount of gas that is produced from different types of biomass.

3. put manure in all bottles    
4. put mashed banana in one bottle 
5. and put veges scraps in the another 
6. then you put some water in it
7. then you put some balloons over the bottle top 
8. and then you leave it for twelve days

   

water cycle

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

Definition:

e

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.

THE WATER CYCLE EXPERIMENT

Bag 1: Normal Water cycle

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

SOLO Hexagons Activity

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 refers to decreasing levels of pH in the ocean, which makes the sea more acidic
