My investigation for climate change [Climate CHAOS]

________________________________________
Acidifaction
-------------------------------------------------------------
Acidifaction= when acid mixes with water.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is happening to the oceans?
  • The ocean is absorbing the CO2 in the air and making the water acidic
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is it doing the shellfish?
  • The acid in the water breaks the calcium of bones making the shellfish die of the rise of acidity in the air
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How does climate change contribute to acidification?
  • any type of greenhouse gas which is methane, carbon dioxide and etc goes in the water making it acidic causing tragic chaos into the ocean
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deforestation
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deforestation is cutting down trees to make agriculture
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What are trees used for?
Trees absorb the opposite of breathing the trees breath in CO2 in the air and breath out Oxygen in the air.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How does deforestation affect the climate?
When the trees are gone the water from clouds have less time to evaporate causing a wasteland and on hills, mudslides will become more likely to occur. 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Icecap melt
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Icecap melt is when the arctic and the an-artic melt causing sea levels to rise
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If all the ice melted what will happen?
the ice will no longer the natural element like water&ice and water will be a natural disaster as sea levels rice 



Aim: To make a solar powered oven.
Materials: 

  1. Foil  
  2. Pizza box
  3. Newspaper  
  4. Black Plastic 
  5. Glad wrap

Steps:

  1. Get some scissors and cut out the middle of the pizza box
  2. Open up the pizza box and start putting some black plastic
  3. Add the foil on the top of the pizza box where you cut it 
  4. Add the newspaper on the boarder walls of the pizza box
  5. Use the glad wrap and tape it to the bottom for the top of the pizza box
  6. to test that it works on a sunny day put your favorite stake and put it in the box and to hold it use a tooth pick and plunk a hole so the flap should stay there    
  7. wait for the stake to cook   
  8.   and enjoy the new life of your new oven safe version

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.
