'Conservation'  

  • Climate Science
  • Global Warming
  • Recycling
  • Renewable Energy
  • Fossil Fuels
  • Ecology
  • Our Planet
  • Water
  • Plants
  1. 15 Points are needed to get a badge
  2. A high standard of work.
  • All experiments are written up ( Aim, Materials, Steps, Conclusion)
  • Two photos of your experiment
  • 6 sentences at least for a conclusion

Science will be twice per week.

  • Lesson 1: This will be an Experiment that involves blogging. You will be expected to open a new post, copy Mr. Palmer's blog and paste it on your new post.
  • Lesson 2: This will be an Investigation that relates to the topic of Lesson 1. It will be own choice and displayed in a way that you prefer. For example - PowerPoint, Doc, etc

BLOGGING.


All the blogs and science lessons will be displayed on Mr. Palmer's blog: 

Bookmark it!

Expectations:
  • 1 blog must be completed per Hurumanu lesson.
  • A completed blog must have the four headings ( Aim, Method, Findings, Conclusion), correct writing and punctuation under each heading and be published. No post, no points.
  • 2 images of the experiment/investigation on the blog.
Using the Scientific method of investigation:

Aim: What the experiment/investigation is about.
Method: Instructions on how the experiment/investigation is carried out. This includes the equipment.
Findings: What have we learned or found out from our experiment/investigation. This is called Data, Information or Facts. It is displayed in a chart, table or picture.
Conclusion:  

2 Hurumanu Science Goals: 
1. I will try harder to finish the task I'm given on time. I will also try to be more focused on my task.
2. I will post more blog post and make it better, so I can get more points to get my badge.

THE BIG PICTURE


  • What animals keep our jackets warm? Polar bears, sheep, and foxes.
  • What animal makes our boots waterproof? Ducks.
  • Where does the water in our rivers come from? Most of the water flowing in rivers comes from rainfall runoff from the surrounding landscape. Although the water in a river doesn't all come from surface runoff. Rain falling on land also seeps into the Earth to form groundwater.  
  • Why do we need healthy rivers? We need healthy rivers because they provide water for humanity. 
  • What are some of the good things about mosquitoes? Mosquitoes are very important to aquatic life. Many other insects and small fish feed on them. If they don't get food to eat, their population will decrease. 
  • Why are bees dying? CCD (Colony collapse disorder) is the reason why bees are dying. It is when the worker bees leave their colony and disappear. They leave behind a queen, plenty of food and a few nurse bees to care for the immature bees.  
  • What do bugs do to our leaves? The bugs/insects, poke tiny holes on the leaves and suck the juices out of them. 
  • How much dung would we be in if there were no dung decomposers? If there were no dung decomposers, the ground will be covered with dung up to 7 feet.
  • Who runs this planet? It's not only nature who runs this planet but it is the millions of species.
