My brain isn't HALLOW! - Forestry Continued! 21/9/17

Consequences of Deforestation

1. There won't be enough oxygen for the human race to live off, There would only be carbon dioxide 
2. There would be no more wood for Structures and Papers.
3. The human race needs suitable requirements to survive and forest is really important
4. Some Animal Species will have no where to live and they would cause a much over streets and other places

Strategies

1. Plant more trees so that it can lower the tree cutting
2. Go Paperless! The less paper we use the more trees we save in the process
3. Eat Vegetarian meals! The more veggies we eat the more healthy trees will be with space being taken

Case Study

1. Palm Oil is an important source made by veggies 
2. Palm Oil is used for candle making
3. ...

Project

This is our Project!
This trap is used to trap rats safely, and increase kiwi breeding.
The trap is triggered by attempting to get the cheese, by saying please.
Do you think it will work? 

You can say, We're growing up like Trees- Forestry 15/9/17

LO - describe what the issues are in regards to the destruction of forests and what we can be done to regenerate the forests

1)

1. Paper
2. Structures
3. Oil
4. Wrappers
5. Boxes

2) Finished on the Websites

3)

1. Ackama Rosifolia Link
2. Beilschmiedia tawa Link
3. Coprosma Obconica Link
4. Coprosma Repens Link
5. Coprosma Rugosa Link

4)

1. Trees are alive, they breathe carbon dioxide and produce oxygen for us, humans to breathe and survive
2. Unlike Humans, Trees will not perish for a long time, they'll stay alive for thousands on years
3. The Main part of tree, the trunk is protected by a think layer of bark
4. If we plant trees it will decrease the chance of erosion

5)

Sustainability relates to Science in multiple ways. Looking into the ways of helping and protecting some important pieces of life, known as Nature. By doing this topic we will also look into other ways to protect these animals, maybe by trying to find a cure to a certain disease. We may also look at other scientific ways to help people and nature survive through time.

What is happening to our forests
---------------------------------

1) The Forests are dying for multiple reasons.

1. Over Crowding. Too many tree are around which leads to dangerous wildfires, after when the fire is contained and stopped the ground because not suitable for tree and plants to live anymore, this is known as poor regrowth
2. Log Cutting. People are cutting trees to make paper, and these trees that they cut takes at least 80 years to grow, as most of them aren't even getting close to that time when are one hundred percent ready to be cut

I have some suitable pictures to support my view, as you can see in Diagram 1 the trees are crowded which leads to less space for the roots, and the roots may also get tangled with other trees and if a fire starts as shown in Diagram 2 the fire is very, very dangerous for those who are around. Which leads me to Diagram 3, which is poor regrowth, the fire residue is very unhealthy for trees to grow from. Which leads the trees from green to brown, another reason why the forests are getting unhealthy is from too many trees getting cut down for paper as shown in Diagram 4. I believe we can end some of these by reducing the paper used and letting some trees grow for an appropriate amount of time before they get cut down.

Having a Whale of a Time - LESSON 2 Science 8/9/17 and 14/9/17

LO : Identify ways in which we can reduce the factors affecting whale population

SLIDESHOW OF AN IDEA TO INCREASE WHALE POPULATION : Link

14/9/17

LO : Identify endangered species in NZ, explain why they are endangered and create a way to increase the population of the species.

TASK 1
------------
1)  Endangered Species - An Endangered Species is a Specie which is almost extinct and needs help to repopulate
2) 
1 - Maui Dolphin
2 - The Mokohinau stag beetle
3 - The Canterbury knobbled weevil
4 - Isoetes
5 - New Zealand Fairy Tern
3)


TASK 2
---------------
THE NEW ZEALAND SEA LION
1)
2) A Bacterial disease has been reducing breeding process since 1997 - 98 which is effecting the population by decreasing the population growth of the New Zealand Sea Lions
3) The Estimated Population is around 12,000 which is really small
4) I can't really stop the bacterial disease that is spreading but i can make the area where the disease is contaminated so that it doesn't spread.

Sas-tain this - Sustainability Kete 7/9/17

LO - Understand what we are learning about in this unit. Identify issues associated with sustainability of whales

- Sustainability is part of the evolutionary cycle involved with the human race adapted with the planet

Whales, are vulnerable and are sold and eaten at sushi shops!

Whales has also been hunted over the years.

Whales have also been victims in bridge building. The Bridges are taking up sea space which kills whales in the process.

During Shipping Whales are also killed in the process, the ships which are containing valuable are killing whale from underneath.

Pollution is also a major threat to the whale kind. By placing toxic waste into the water they are killing the whales, either by suffocation or just the toxic water.

Whales are also a major victim to the tangled reefs, which is fishing gear being dropped into the sea, Normally Whales would investigate and it would kill them in the process

... - Gymnastics 06/09/17

I don't mind Gymnastics, Gymnastics is one of the main things my sister does on a daily basis. I personally don't mind it because I am not that good at it.

Today in Gymnastics we were practising how to do a better front roll than we knew before. How we did this was by, pushing up with your hands to get more lift and to avoid getting hit on your head. We also practice to over come some fear, we did this by jumping forward and backward on a bar. We also sometimes did it with our eyes closed.
