climate change in the future

Aim; To look at the different ways we can prevent climate change in the future.



What places will be effected?
Antarctica NZ

What else do we need to think about?
 the sea level will rise higher 

What other places around NZ will be affected?


What does this do to our drinking water?
pacific island 

What are the main concerns?
salt water flowing on land

Renewable Energy

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

Section 1: Title Page
1.  Hydro 
Hydro power is energy collected from flowing water that's converted into electricity or used to power machinery. 

2. Solar
Solar is for electricity,the solar panels absorb the sunlight to create power/electricity 

3. Wind 

Wind is caused by pressure variations in the Earth’s atmosphere.Air From a high pressure area will move to a low pressure area.


4.Wave Wave-power generation is not a widely employed commercial technology compared to other established renewable energy sources such as wind 



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.

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.

Wind Power

Wind Power
By Jay C
Measuring weather.

Definitions:

  1. Anemometer:An anemometer is a device used for measuring wind speed and direction. It is also a common weather station instrument. The term is derived from the Greek word anemos, which means wind,
  2. Beaufort wind scale:The Beaufort scale is an empirical measure that relates wind speed to observed conditions at sea or on land

Anemometer

MATERIALS  

   
  1.  pencil  
  2.  pin
  3.  4 plates
  4. sellotape
  5. 2 sticks

STEPS

  1. Go to one of the designated areas.
  2. Raise the anemometer as high as you can reach.
  3. Time 15 seconds.
  4.  Count the spins within 15 seconds.
  5.   Record.

Group Investigation.

Groups size: 5 
Roles:

  • Timekeeper ( watch)
  • Counter
  • Recorder ( chromebook or refill )
  • Anemometer Manager ( Anemometer)
  • Wind Manager

Instructions:
  • Go to the measuring place and set up your wind gauge.
  • Make sure everyone in your group is ready to start their roles.
  • Record how many times it spins and record it in the table below.
  • Count the number of spins in 15 seconds.
  • Record it on your chart.

FINDINGS


Place name on school grounds                                    Number of Spins in 15 seconds
1.Field1
2.Old J Block site1
3.Grass hill in quad1
4.Tennis Court gate2

CONCLUSION: 

1.The Fields had a total of one spins.
2. The Old J Block also had a total of one spins.
3. The Grass Hill had a total of one spins.
4. The Tennis Hill has the highest result of two spins.

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.

                        2. Set up bottles and lamps beside a powerpiont on a flat surface
                        3. Pour 100ml water and baking soda mixture into one of the bottles add just water to the                                    secong
                        4. start to record your fingding taker frou both thermouetres. these must be every 5 minutes
