Hurumanu-water cycle

Climate Chaos


Title

The Water Cycle & The Water Cycle (with Carbon Dioxide)

Purpose

Trying to work out the Water Cycle & Water Cycle with Carbon Dioxide

Materials

Bag 1
  • 1x ziplock bag
  • 1x vivid pen
  • 1 cup Coldwater
  • 2 drops of blue food colouring

Bag 2
  • 1x ziplock bag
  • 1x vivid pen
  • 1 cup Coldwater
  • 2 drops of blue food colouring
  • 1x litmus paper
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

Steps

Bag 1
  1. Get a ziplock bag and a vivid pen
  2. Draw the water cycle (label the parts of the water cycle)
  3. Carefully pour 1 cup of cold water
  4. Carefully drop 2 drops of blue food colouring
  5. Stick the ziplock bag in a window where it receives sunlight.

Bag 2
  1. Get a ziplock bag and a vivid pen
  2. Draw the water cycle
  3. Carefully pour 1 cup of cold water
  4. Carefully drop 2 drops of blue food colouring
  5. Carefully put 1 teaspoon of baking soda
  6. Stick the ziplock bag in a window where it receives sunlight

Conclusion

Experiment 1:
I think that the outcome of this experiment will be…

I think that nothing will happen because the water will go up and down as a cycle. 

Experiment 2:
I think that the outcome of this experiment will be…

In the second bag, I think that the colour will change because there is the baking soda and the litmus paper which changes the colour also adds carbon dioxide to the bag

Hurumanu-The Future

Hurumanu: Climate Change and the future
Aim; To look at the different ways we can prevent climate change in the future.


floods more chance of a cyclone blocked roads 


What else do we need to think about? 
places near rivers and homes near the beach.

What other places around NZ will be affected?
What places will be affected? Pacifist Island NZ different Places. 

What does this do to our drinking water?
we don't have much good water left and it will turn bad.

What are the main concerns?
Climate change can also result from external forcing, when events outside of the climate system's components nonetheless produce changes within the system. Examples include changes in solar output and volcanic. Human activities can also change the climate, and are presently driving climate change through global warming.

What can we do?
  1. 1. Speak up! 
  2. 2. Power your home with renewable energy. 
  3. 3. Weatherize, 
  4. 4. Invest in energy-efficient appliances. 
  5. 5. Reduce water waste. 
  6. 6. Actually, eat the food you buy—and make less of it meat. 
  7. 7. Buy better bulbs. 
  8. 8. Pull the plug's 
    



What is the one, silver bullet solution?

There is no silver bullet

What is the mix of things we need to start doing?
  1. Getting to be able to use renewable 
  2. Solar heating
  3. Transport
What are 3 others you can think of?
  1. Recycling 
  2. Cycling
  3. Reusing items (plastic bags, plastic objects, things which might not be used, etc.)  
Activities:

Carbon Footprint

Carbon Footprint explained


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


1 Colour: For each action, you are already doing. 
2 Colour: For each action, you would like to do in the future.

Solar oven - Hurumanu

Aim: To make a solar powered oven.

Materials: 

  1. cello tape 1x
  2. ruler 1x
  3. glad rap 1x
  4. tin foil 1x
  5. pizza box 1x
  6. newspaper 4x
  7. black paper 1x
  8. vivid maker 1x
Steps:
  1. Line out the top of your pizza box using a ruler and a vivid maker 5cm each side if more it wont function as it should be and the top.
  2. Then cut out your box using your sizer's follow the line you drew.
  3. After that cut you some tin foil and rap it make sure to tape the tin foil to the top.  
  4. the open the pizza box a put the same size of glad rap as the door and tape it down so that no air can enter or exit and to keep the heat in side and not renewing it every time   
  5. Put your black paper inside of the bottom of the pizza box 
  6. put your 4 papers on each side's of the box and tape the together   
  7. Ill link a video to show you how it should look like just Click hear.
