research on Antarctica

Chosen Issue: Antarctica  

Processing and Recording: Write the information you find in the spaces - remember to write in your own words.

Key Question 1: What is the environmental/social sustainability issue? 

The ice is melting in Antarctica , it's bad because it's going to kill all the animals that live on ice. 

We also will lose a lot of our land because the water melting causes  it to overflow and come onto our land and then we run out of places to live because most of our land will be underwater.        

We are creating greenhouse gases which is polluting the air and making the temperature rise and this causes the ice to melt.                        

Key Question 2:  What factors have caused this issue?

The summer causes the ice to melt, but only in  some cases also people. By polluting the air through greenhouse gases we are causing some of the ice to melt because  the warm air is melting the ice.

Key Question 3:  What will happen if this issue continues to degrade? 

if we don't stop and help prevent this antarctica ice will all melt and rise sea levels by 58 meters which will come onto the land, which means people will start to lose houses. Greenhouse gases are created by pollution which allows the earth's temperature to rise.

Key Question 4: What are the possible solutions to this issue (either being currently done or could be done)?  

We could stop using as much plastic which will save the air from getting so warm then will stop the ice from melting. We need to make changes which reduce greenhouse gases. Currently efforts are being made to create the world's largest marine reserve. Russia, China and Ukraine are preventing this from happening. 

conclusion  

I learned that we are the reason the ice is melting. I also learnt that some of the things we use in our daily lives that we think don't do much harm to our environment do actually such as cars,electricity and plastic  . So when you go somewhere, think about what you are doing before you do it because it can change our future.

              hornby  high school field            

the people in our school are dropping their rubbish all over our school. There are more then 50 pieces of rubbish everywhere on the field and courts. sometimes its not only kids from our school its also people who come in the weekends. its also more work for our care takers to have to go and clean up after kids who dont want to pick up their rubbish.

the kids that go on the courts and field leave their rubbish all over the place on morning teas and lunches. its not nice to go to a school where theirs rubbish everywhere people then think our school is a bad place then wont send their kids to our school.

we are doing nothing to stop this and we need too. 

we need bins on the field at the back. also have the Eco worriers out more.

Goldilocks and the three little bears

Once upon a time there where three little bears who lived in a cottage in the woods. There was a girl called Goldilocks. The three little bears went for a walk to wait for their porridge to cool down . Goldilocks found this cottage and went in and found the porridge sitting on the table and decided to eat it she tried daddy bears porridge "its way too hot!" she said. She tried mummy bears porridge and it was too hot! . She was very hungry. She then went and ate baby bears porridge and it was nice and cool so she ate it all up. She had finally finished the porridge she wanted to sit down and watch TV so she went and sat on daddy bears chair it was too big so she went and sat on mummy chair and it was too small. She didn't like either of their chairs and she went and sat on baby bears chair and she broke it. She wanted to go to sleep so she went into the room. She lied on daddy bears bed and it was too hard. She tried mummy's bed it was too soft. then she seen baby bears bed and went and lied on it and it was just right so she went to sleep in the baby bears bed. The three little bears came home to the door open so they went inside and all went and looked at their porridge daddy bear said nothing is wrong with mine. Mummy bear said mines fine and baby bear said oh no all my porridge is gone!!! they went into the lounge and baby bear looked at his chair and said look my chair is broken. They went up stairs and looked at their beds and noticed someone was in daddy bears bed then seen someone had been in mummy bears bed the they all looked at baby bears bed and seen Goldilocks. she woke up to all the bears standing over her and got up out of the bed and ran out of the house.

We arrived at the camp site where we where were staying at 2:15pm. we set up our beds and tents waiting for time to pass by. it came  6:30pm we got out the marshmallows and lit the camp firer and started roasting our marshmallows. Then we started telling our secrets Izzy told us hers she had killed someone. Izzy had the most deepest secret it changed our hole weekend from a happy fun funny chill weekend and turned it all around we all got scared i didn't know if i was gonna be able to sleep that night. I wanted to go home. I felt very unsafe, after this trip was over i didn't know if we where ever going to talk to her or hang out with her.
