Topic-term+2



Here is my inquiry on Pollution

And the Impact on the planet.

My Big Question: How can we become more eco friendly?

My Subsidiary Questions How can we encourage the world to stop polluting? What are the effects of pollution? How is pollution effecting our animals and wildlife How can we encourage the world to stop polluting?

We can go around and show people and companies whats happening to our world and what will happen if we keep on polluting and show them how to become more eco friendly, maybe if they see whats happening to our world maybe they will become more eco friendly.

You could also make a protest to the government to encourage them to make laws to protect the environment from pollution so then we will have a better environment to be in.

How can we start being eco friendly?

We can become eco friendly by.....

We can bike or walk to school instead of going by car which lets out petrol and poisonous fumes.

You can get a heat pump which has clean air heating instead of using a burning fire which can produce smog ( fog, mist ) which is unhealthy for the environment.

We can recycle our rubbish or put it into the bin instead of being lazy and dropping it onto the ground or dumping it into the ocean, its really easy all you have to do is put it into the bin its not like you have to go all the way to the rubbish dump each time you have a piece of rubbish.

You can buy one of those reusable supermarket bags instead of using heaps of plastic bags which usually end up being dumped somewhere and we can reuse paper thats already been used by using the other side of it instead of chucking paper into the bin if you make a mistake on one side its just waisting more and more trees, if we keep on doing it then soon we wont have any trees left. The less trees there are put more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere contributing to more greenhouse gases that kill off the ozone layer. We could become more energy efficient by turning off the light when your not in the room and by turning of electrical appliances when not using them. You can buy eco friendly lights which.....

You could also make your own compost out of food scraps eg:vege peelings and you can grow your own veges and fruit so you can save money and maybe a trip to the supermarket. Supporting local businesses by buying their products instead of buying products that have travelled long distances.

How is pollution effecting our animals and wildlife?

Global warming effects many parts of the ocean, what happens is it causes the ocean to rise and when it rises it over laps places like low land islands with animals, plants, wildlife and even some peoples homes. Also global warming causes the water to become warm when that happens it kills algae which is what some fish eat these fish would become extinct because they would have no food to eat and when they die it will effect there food chain because some animals eat algae-eating fish as there food so they can become extinct too, also then other animals and wildlife will slowly become extinct because they wont have any food to eat.

Since global warming causes the world to heat up it also effects some other animals such as polar bears because polar bears live on ice and the heat will melt the ice.

Oil spills into oceans have killed off the natural marine life in that area.

What are the effects of pollution?

It can cause Global Warming which is when the earth heats up.

People and animals can get really sick and it may cause death also it can cause the plants and wildlife to slowly die as well because of the poisonous fumes around them and the hot heat which causes dehydration. Pollution affects the environment and atmosphere we live in potentially causing unnecessary illness to animals and humans.

Its week 7 of term two and our new topic is called 'Our Living World' For our living world so far we are doing a brain storm on what pops into our mind when we hear the words 'Our living world', we worked together and came up with some cool questions.

Here is our Brainstorm:

Also this Term our topic is whats the plan stan?. Whats the plan stan is about disasters that have happened around the world and what we have to do in a disaster so we a prepared if one happens. Here is a Wordle we made about earthquakes.
