Who/what does   ocean pollution___(your issue)_littering rubbish______ Affect? Ocean	Ocean Pollution Facts. Ocean pollution occurs when potentially harmful or harmful sources of pollution reach the water. ... Most of the sources of ocean pollution originates on land, from runoff, blowing debris, dust, and contamination from excessive nutrients, toxins such as pesticides and metals, and particles. When large tracts of land are plowed, the exposed soil can erode during rainstorms. Much of this runoff flows to the sea, carrying with it agricultural fertilizers and pesticides. ... Nonpoint source pollution can make river and ocean water unsafe for humans and wildlife Research / Inquiry Template Question 1  (you need to use your own question here, use the matrix below to give you a starting idea) Why dose animals die? Why dose animals die The animals whose abuse is most often reported are dogs, cats, horses and livestock. Undercover investigations have revealed that animal abuse abounds in the factory farm industry. But because of the weak protections afforded to livestock under state cruelty laws, only the most shocking cases are reported, and few are ever prosecuted. https://www.humanesociety.org/resources/animal-cruelty-facts-and-stats There are studies on how animals are predated, but do we have much of an idea about how many animals die from predation versus other causes such as emaciation, desiccation, injury, infanticide and siblicide, disease, and ‘old age’? https://www.researchgate.net/post/What_do_wild_animals_die_from It's impossible to answer this for an overall-kingdom-animalia perspective because of the biodiversity but mostly die of disease or wounds, starvation, predation, or their habitat is destroyed . but it's not exactly the same for all animals . Also , the cancer can kill wild animals at similar rates for human . https://www.researchgate.net/post/What_do_wild_animals_die_from Question 2  Why do we letter so much?  Every year, large amounts of litter enter the sea. As plastics are particularly durable, the mass of plastic debris in the world’s oceans is steadily increasing – often with fatal consequences for countless sea creatures. Microscopic breakdown products from plastics, which scientists have only recently started to study in detail, may also pose a threat. Although the problem has existed for some time, there is still no effective strategy in place to turn the tide on marine litter. https://worldoceanreview.com/en/wor-1/pollution/litter/ People litter because they do not feel responsible for public areas like streets and parks. ... Some people feel no sense of ownership for parks, walkways, beaches, and other public spaces. They believe someone else will pick up after them; that it's not their responsibility. https://www.google.com/search?q=why+do+we+litter+so+much&rlz=1CACTIE_enNZ856&oq=why+do+we+litter+so+much&aqs=chrome..69i57.10653j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&safe=active&ssui=on tering continues to be a big environmental problem in cities. And one Pittsburgher from the city’s North Side neighborhood is taking the problem personally. Meda Rago regularly picks up trash to keep her street clean. And she really isn’t kidding when she says she’s found some pretty weird things chucked into the alley behind her house. Research / Inquiry Template Question 3 Why is plastic bag a big problem  Minke whales in Scotland have been photographed entangled in plastic strapping, humpback whales have stranded in Canada wrapped in plastic line and, in 2012, a young sperm whale was found dead, floating off the coast of Greece. It was discovered that his stomach was full of 100 plastic bags. http://www.wdcs.org/wdcskids/en/story_details.php?select=879 Plastic bags have some unique problems. ... Even when disposed of properly, plastic bags are so lightweight and aerodynamic, they are easily picked up and carried by the wind. They can escape from trash bins, recycle bins, garbage trucks, and landfills, and end up littering the landscape. https://www.google.com/search?q=why+is+plastic+bags+a+big+problem&rlz=1CACTIE_enNZ856&oq=why+is+plastic+bags+a+big+problem&aqs=chrome..69i57.12824j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&safe=active&ssui=on Plastic is prevalent in our lives. It fills our fridges storing food in individual containers. It frames our glowing computer screens and nestles our DVDs. It totes our groceries around when we lack a free hand. Unfortunately, plastic has a darker side. Plastic is made from fossil fuel sources, such as natural gas and petroleum. Toxic chemicals bleed into our water from the plastic bottles we purchase. Plastic is not biodegradable, therefore it always exists, crowding our landfills and polluting our oceans. You can combat the growing plastic problem with knowledge and a helpful guide, both found in Plastic Free (Skyhorse Publishing, 2012) by Beth Terry. Writer of the leading blog on plastic-free living, My Plastic-Free Life, author Beth Terry provides personal anecdotes, stats about the environmental and health problems related to plastic, and personal solutions and tips on how to limit your plastic footprint. Learn about the.  plastic bag problem and what you can do to cull these “urban tumbleweeds” from the landscape in this excerpt from chapter 2 “Plastic Bags (Why Are There Melons in My Shirt?).”  https://www.motherearthnews.com/nature-and-environment/environmental-policy/plastic-bag-problem-ze0z1302zwar	Rubbish comes from us littering and throwing our rubbish away because we don’t want to put it in the bin that how ocean pollution started. https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/pollution.html	Plastic can be effect fish and our water And can be a big deal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju_2NuK5O-E

I Remember

dimic maths

In dimic maths we got to learn a whole new bunch of stuff, we learned how to use a chart that looks like this.
The first time our teacher showed us the graph I was really confused because it looked like something only scientists would use to collect data, another thing we learned was collecting data with charts it was a fun and I'd say it's an easier way to collect data. Our teacher would put people into groups and she would see how well we worked together, if she saw a group that worked well and they were getting along nicely she would keep that group as it is but if the other groups weren't too good she would swap people, which I thought was a good idea because it gives other people a chance to work with others, and see how they learn because you can pick up a few things from it as well. I learnt a lot of new skills that can help me in the future with my maths and I would really like to use it next time.

 My group used a lot of strategies that I forgot most of them, but the groups I worked in had all these cool strategies and I thought it was cool and kind of interesting because I could see how other people work out problems, and equations. My group this week had a task and it was to see which person had more medicine I have to admit it was kinda the hardest one we have done so far, it took us about three or four tries to get it right but I didn't care about how much times we had to do it because I knew it was helping us learn more.

Ethical: If you are pregnant and go to the doctor for an x-ray, and find out that our baby is different, you shouldn’t abort it’s your child you need to accept that yes your child may look different but that’s what makes us unique. Environmental: The environmental problems like global warming, air pollution, waste disposal, water pollution, climate change and many more affect every human and animal Social: Child abuse,bullying,domestic violence,neglection,drug use,alcoholism,racism Are a lot of things that are happening, and yet no one does anything about it, people think since it’s so bad that no one can stop it yet we can stop it.

Reflection:
What do you think digital technology hurmanu will be about?:

I think it will be very like techy like computers robots and 3D printing machines, and it's going to be full of codes and I think we are going to do coding as well.

What do you already know about DT eg apps etc:

I know how to create games, I know how to create my own website and I can create art digitally.

What are you hoping to learn during this hurmanu?

I really want to know how to code and how to use a 3D printer as well as a few more tech things.

For the past couple of weeks, we have been making our own phone stands.
We picked an image from google and we import the image into the template.
After we picked our image we transferred it into the flash drive.
Then we waited for it to be printed.
My image was a Tongan girl dancing.
