Sustainable fishing (Social Studies)

In the near future, I don't think sustainable fishing would be possible because at the rate humans are fishing the fish population will be extinct and sea piracy claims that the fishing Industry catch up to 2.7 trillion fish per year, or 5,000,000 every single minute and cause of that claim by sea piracy humans should be careful about overcatching fish or else the fish population would be wiped out.

To stop this catastrophe from approaching in the future, governments around the world should stop and be like the nations that are finally scrambling to finalize by this year’s end an international agreement to ban government subsidies that fuel overfishing and In an exhaustive survey of 152 countries, scientists at the University of British Columbia found that ocean-faring nations have spent around $22 billion on harmful subsidies in 2018.

hurumanu-fossil fuels


R

FACTORIES: Making clothes, cars, electronics, and processed foods creates a lot of pollution. When materials like plastic, cardboard, metal, and cement are made, harmful gases are released into the air and water.

Image result for cow gifCOWS: Cows create a greenhouse gas called methane when they burp and fart. Methane is a greenhouse gas that is 25 times more powerful than carbon dioxide. With about 1.5 billion cows around the world, methane is having a big effect on climate change.

TRANSPORTATION: Most cars need gas or diesel to work. These come from oil, which is a fossil fuel. The carbon dioxide in oil goes into the atmosphere when the car is running and that destroy the trees
Image result for simpsons landfillLANDFILL: Our landfills are growing and using up more healthy land. When waste breaks down in landfills, greenhouse gases are created, including methane and carbon dioxide. These gases contribute to climate change.
Image result for foodFOOD: We need food to survive, but it creates a lot of pollution. Transporting food by ships, planes, trains, and trucks add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Clearing the land for farms and farming practices also create greenhouse gases.

Electricity is a form of energy used to power almost everything in our homes. Electricity can come from renewable sources (water, wind, sun) and non-renewable sources like fossil fuels (oil, and gas). Fossil fuels release CO2 into the atmosphere.

Hurumanu - Renewable Energy



Hurumanu - Renewable Energy

Aim: To make a solar-powered oven.

Materials: 
  1. Sellotape
  2. glad-wrap
  3. tin foil 
  4. scissors 
  5. black plastic
  6. pizza box
  7. straw
  8. plate 
  9. marshmallow
  10. cookie
Steps: 1 cut out the flap on the lid of the pizza box so that is 5cm around the edge  
2 Sellotape some tinfoil on the inside of the flap   
3 Sellotape some glad-wrap so that the hole you have cut on the pizza box lid is covered over with glad-wrap  
4 put a piece of black plastic on the bottom of the inside of the pizza box  
5 Make a paper square that fits inside the pizza box and lays around the edge  
6 Put a marshmallow on top of a square
7Put it in the sun to cook

Conclusion





Aim: To make a presentation that investigates different renewable energy's.

Section 1: Title Page

Make a title page that incorporates all renewable energy 's Hydro, Solar, Wind and Wave.

Section 2: Definitions

Define and provide a picture of each energy type.
  1. Hydro Energy
  2. Solar Energy
  3. Wind Energy 
  4. Wave Energy
Section 3; Investigate each of the 4 Energy Types.
(Hydro, Solar, Wind, Wave ) 


  1. Type:
  2. Is it used in NZ?
  3. Other Countries that use it?
  4. How is it used to generate electricity?
  5. Draw and label a diagram of the main parts of the electricity generator? This can be done on paper and uploaded or on a drawing program on your device. I do not want any Internet images or pictures. They must be hand-drawn using a ruler and labelled.


Section 4: Renewable Energy in the future.

List 10 ways that renewable energy will be used in the future to replace our current activities.

hurumanu-Climate change documentary

we (SH, DS, TS, MT) watched 2040 documentary about Climate Change and It was very very very boring because it had no action and it was like sitting outside staring at my dog's face and that was very boring 

QUESTIONS
1: What surprised you
A: Nothing

2: What excited you?
A: Seeing what the future might look like

3: What worried you?
A: How much CO2 is in our atmosphere

4: What did I learn
A: that a village in Bangladesh has a lot of solar panels on their houses.
A: those younger children want to see in the future

5: what would I like to see in 2040?
A: I would like to see in 2040 is flying cars or 100% eco-friendly atmosphere

hurumanu-greenhouse affect experiment

AIM: TO LOOK AT CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT

THE GREENHOUSE GASES EXPLAINED.


The Greenhouse Effect experiment

Materials

  1. 1 plastic bottle
  2. 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda and Citric Acid
  3. BVV 1 heat lamp
  4. 1 Thermometer
  5. 100 ml of water
  6. 1 rubber bung

Procedure;
1 come and collect all the materials from Mr palmers.
2 Setting up the lights, bottles thermometers and bungs. 
3 Mr Palmer adds baking soda mix along with 100ml of water.
4 Wait minutes and start recording the temperature.

Variables:
All water added to the bottles were from the classroom tap




Findings: The Greenhouse Effect Data
