Air pollution is like a type of canner for people and animals and air pollution has little chemicals that can kill animals and people slowly. People do air pollution by using cars, factory, industries and smoke from the chimney.

Air pollution is bad because air pollution occurs when harmful air pollution may cause diseases, allergies or death of humans.

Water pollution is bad for sea animals because when people put rubbish on the road or the footpath and the next day it will rain and push the rubbish into the drain and then it will go into the sea then the sea animals will see rubbish the the water and think that the rubbish is food so they go to eat the rubbish then a while it will get stuck in his throat that's why don’t put our rubbish on the road or footpath.

Ships can also endanger sea birds because when birds dive into the water the oil will go onto the sea birds. Rubbish is also so bad for turtle because. Plastic drink holder kill turtle by turtle going into the Plastic drink holder then a while the turtle will start to die and it's bad for Plastic bag because when turtle see Plastic bag they will swim to the Plastic bag and think it’s a jellyfish then it will eat the Plastic bag and it will get stuck in the turtle throat. And the turtle won’t breth.

Any change in the nature of the environment due to chemicals, physical and biological pollution that causes pollution. Pollution is something that is harmful and poisonous stuff like it could pollute the air by cow fart and also making heaps of fire cause all that smoke is pollution the air. You also pollute ocean by putting rubbish in the drain and mostly plastic bags and oil.

Earthquake tower challenge

 Earthquake tower challenge 

we had to design and construct a two-story building using the

following materials!

-1 cardboard base (approximately 25 cm by 25 cm)

-30 straws

-100 paper clips (one box)

-20 pins

-2 meters of string

We (as a group) had question’s that we had to answer!

Our first question was.

what are the strongest parts of my building. was the walls because it keep the hole building up

what are the weakest prats of the building was the bottom of it because the bottom keep on coming apart so we tied the string up around the paper clips and pins.

where did you use your string in your structure. we put the string on the outside of the structure and we put it at the bottom so it can hold it up

Then we put the sand in the middle of the tower then we counted how many second that the structure can hold the sand it holed it for 2 second and then it was morning tea. Ather morning we keep on building structure then we put the sand in the middle again and holed it for 43 second

whats is matter

Today we have been learning about the three states of matter (solid, liquid and gas) and the changes of matter. In this experiment we first we put chocolate chips in the microwave.

This meant that the chocolate changed from a solid to a liquid. Then we pour the chocolate to make shape This meant that the chocolate changed from a liquid to a solid when it cool down.

Children don't like school because they love freedom. students don't like school because their teachers don't have a full understanding of certain cognitive principles and therefore don't teach as well as they could.

It is important to go school is because if you don’t learn much you not smart if you go to school everyday it good so when you go school and learn something you can came home and tell your parents what you did at school and if you get a certificate you're the student of the week. And you can take it home and give it to your parents and they might give something to you for being good and being the student of the week.
