CIP Term 3 Week 2

Today In CIP We Planned A Mufti Day To Raise Money For KidsCan. Here Are Some Questions.

What have we planned this morning? A Mufti Day

What was your #CrazyForKidsCan idea? How did you come up with it? Radical Rainbow Because It Sounded Cool.

Share 2 facts about Kids Can, what do they do? They Supply Kids In Need, Help Kids With Jackets And Food.

What role would you like to have in the Mufti Day? Not Sure At The Moment.

What are you looking forward to with this project? All The Things We Are Doing Sound Cool, So All!

What might be a challenge with this project? Staying On Task And Not Getting Distracted/Distracting Others

Here the Poster I Made

The Book "Night Vision"

Lately we have been reading a novel called night vision so I had to do some activities based around it.

So today I am publishing two pieces of my work for you guys to see...

Hope you enjoy!

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 water 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

Preferably in a group of 2-3, it will make it easier to do.

Steps:

1.  Someone in your group gets a plastic bag
2.  Draw/Write all the scientific words and what they mean in a picture 
3.  Get 1 cup of water
4.  Put blue food coloring in the water
5. Hang it up on a window that gets sun

Two Images:

 

	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 For Water And Acidity amount-

1=None

2=Small Drips

3=Large Drips 

----------------------------------------

Other comments-

1.Water Cycle 1 Had No Acidity.

It Had Had Some Small Drops Of Water.

It Does Cycle.

2.Water Cycle 2 Had Some Acidity.

It Had Some Small Drops Of Water.

It Does Cycle.

3.Water Cycle 3 Had No Acidity.

It Had Some Small Drops Of Water.

It Does Cycle.

Conclusion: 

-All The Ways I Done It Ended Up Cycling

-They All Had Water In Them

-

Draw a labelled diagram of the Water Cycle

Water cycle words-

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

Charlesworth Reserve Trip

On the 3rd of July 2019 the people that do gardening CIP got to go on a trip to Charlesworth Reserve. Why we went there? So we could contribute to the plants to help climate change/our environment and because it would be a great oppourtunity for us... AND IT WAS! How did we get there? On a bus and two of the schools mini buses/vans.

So when we arrived we ate our morning tea and then we went to the place where we were meant to plant the plants. We got a brief description of how to plant them and that we had to find a buddy to work with, I went with my friend Evan and we got 8 plants done... the plants we planted were called Searush.

Charlesworth Reserve is near Ferrymead and it is on Charlesworth Road. The aim was to plant just under 200 plants but we got around 170-190 which is really good in the time we were there. Once we finished with all the plants we went to a place near the Ferrymead Countdown and started to pick up rubbish that people had left around. there were alot of empty glass bottles and just other random pieces of plastic.

Overall it was quite a fun time and we got alot done, we also found some crabs along the way (when I say some I mean alot!)

Planting some plants

We had an amazing time and if I had the chance I would gladly do it again!

We found a crab
