Climate Change

 What is the greenhouse effect?

The greenhouse effect is a process that occurs when gases in Earth's atmosphere trap the Sun's heat. The greenhouse effect is one of the things that makes Earth a comfortable place to live.

What are the 3 bad things/ consequences of climate change?

This could make the Earth too hot and melt Antarctica and raise sea levels.

Warming oceans.

Strorms.

Possible solution?

Plant more trees and change the way we live to be more sustainable.

Be More Conservative with Energy Usage.

Recycle.

What is the Paris agreement?

The Paris Agreement is a legally binding international treaty on climate change. It sets out a global framework to avoid dangerous climate change, by limiting global warming to well below 2°C.

Eclipses

Solar Eclipse (Day)

How does it happen?

When the moon gets between Earth and the sun, and the moon casts a shadow over Earth.

What Would we see?

Midday it would randomly go dark for 7 minutes and 31 seconds.

1965.

When is the next one?

2028.

Lunar Eclipse (night)

How does it happen?

When the Moon and Sun are on opposite sides of Earth.

What Would we see?

On the moon, we would see a reddish colour.

When was the last time we had one?

March 26 2021

My Mihi

In class, we learned were learning about our mihi, here is what I made.

Traditionally this is how would Maori actually introduce themselves. It is used to establish links with other people present and let people know who you are, and where you come from.

Leopard

Habitat: Savana/desserts and grasslands are very hot and they prefer to live near trees to hide in.

What do they eat and what eats them: Baboons, hares, rodents, birds, lizards, porcupines, warthogs, fish, and dung beetles.

Lions and packs of hyenas or painted dogs can kill leopards.

Their adaptions: 

• They have spots on them for camouflage which is called disruptive colouration.

• They have sharp teeth to bite through hard flesh.

• They have longer tails than cats and helps them balance on steep, rocky slopes it could also be useful for the cold since they can wrap their tails around themselves to keep them warm.

MRS GREN

Movement: uses its 4 legs

Respiration: converts food into energy

Sensitivity: It can react to its environment. 

Growth: It grows once it gets older

Reproduction: it's sexual and relies on others of its species to reproduce.

Excretion: it digests waste out of its body.

Nutrition: It eats other animals mainly a carnivore.

 

Cells

Large vacuole: Providing structural support, by growth, storage, waste disposal, protection and growth. 

Cell Wall: A protective outer layer that provides tensile strength and protection. 

Cell Membrane: Protects and organises cells. 

Chloroplast: Converts light into energy also known as photosynthesis.

Cytoplasm: A fixed solution that has protein, water and salts which fill the cells.

Nucleus: controls the cells and carries genes.

Mitochondria: generates chemical energy needed to power the cells.
