what happened on the day we presented??

 On the 8th of april my group presented to our class room, Sumuree,Eve and Nitika was doing deforestation for our topic which one was for climate change. The day after that, Miss Ashley ( My teacher), told us we have 5 more minutes to present to the whole classroom. 

Well we had 5 more minutes to practice. We had to think about what to say and how we are going to say it. When the 5 minutes was done, our teacher called us and said “ who is going to be the first group to present the items”. Sumuree, Eve and Nitika went second. 

When we were talking about Deforestation we played a game so the audience won't get bored, The game was Sumuree had a hat and inside the hat there were questions about Deforestation.

Lastly, when we were all done Miss Ashley called us the mat, When she called the whole classroom set down and reflected how we thought about the other groups. 

So this is the end of what happened on Thursday. I hope you enjoyed my talk about deforestation. 

 

climate change/ What is Deforestation

 Kia oranna my name is Nitika, Fakalofa Atu my name is Sumuree,  and Talofa lava my name is Eve. 

Today we have been learning about climate change which took us 3 weeks and 2 days.

 Our topic we have chosen is about deforestation. 

 

Some Reasons why people cut down trees is to help build Houses,

Sometimes People cut down trees to clear land for (agricultural means more land for animals btw) . In some cases, Trees are cut down for soil which is to make food sources, and to make plant group 

Sumuree- What is Deforestation and how does it affect the world?

Deforestation can be bad but then can be good, The bad thing is… Some time Deforestation is not just about cutting down trees. In my opinion is Deforestation it’s about HOW we treat mother earth by not showing respect. Some people think it is funny by tagging on trees, burning trees down and breaking branches. The good thing is…. Trees are the best because how do you think that we got Apple's, Avocado, PNuts and lemon but there more. Trees are good because they help give us home to sleep in, Be grateful that you have paper to write on, . Just know one thing, TREES ARE NOT SOME TYPE OF TOY TO PLAY WITH, TREES ARE HELPING US, AND THEY ARE THE ONE MAKING YOU Breather.

One question about trees: if people cut down trees will we have oxygen?

Another question we have for you is about the natural habitat of animals like monkeys, orangutans and more is will they still have a home? 

 

The reason we ask this question is because when the trees are gone where will the animals live?  

Eve- New Zealand is where I live and I think that we need to help make more trees. If you have listened, New Zealand has cut down 1 billion trees because we needed it or was it for fun? 15.3 billion trees are chopped down every year around the world. NZ  🇳🇿 has cut down  1 billion trees. Is that BAD??

Different countries have cut down different amount of trees. 

Brazil has cut down 24,521.572 trees, Indonesia has cut down 9,477,646 D.R congo has cut down 4,828,095 and our home, 

Nitika- 

So that is what we have learned in 3 weeks and 2 days, We hope you have enjoyed our topic about Deforestation. So now we will be playing a game to see if you have learned anything from us. If you look to the right you will see Sumuree holding a hat, and if you look to the left you will see Eve holding some tokens… IF you answer this right you will get a Token, so have fun dox!!

Cloning and de-extinction -

 Cloning and De-extinction

DNA is one of the most important things in your life, and when you unravel your DNA it is as long as the earth’s orbit around the sun but times that 6 times. Anyway this subject is about bringing extinct species back to life, and also cloning conservation species. 

What is Cloning?
Cloning is taking DNA from any living animal then cloning the DNA. The first animal to be cloned is the Dolly Sheep who was born/cloned in July 5, 1996 and died in February 14, 2003. But there is a con to cloning just because there were multiple other animals that had been cloned but died very quickly, for example one of them where a Ox named the gaur, who only lived for 2 weeks then perished into heaven. There is also something called natural cloning. Natural cloning can occur when an embryo is split up into 2 parts which makes twins, or it could split into 3, 4, ect. 

What is de-extinction?

De-extinction is bringing an extinct animal back to life. De-extinction for a Moa is where you take some DNA from the Moa’s fossils then afterwards create an egg with the DNA and put that egg inside an ostrich to create a new Moa/Ostrich thingy.. 

Should we de-extinct the Moa?? Yes because….
The pros for de-extincting the Moa is because the Moa could be used as a food resource and could be used as clothes too. Another reason is that a Moa is a native bird to New Zealand, also the Moa could kill and eat the possums and other animals that the british people came with, which will protect the other native animals. 

Should we de-extinct the Moa?? No because….
The cons for de-extincting the Moa is because the Moa would disrupt the food chain by eating the insects and food for other animals, it could also be very very expensive and there is a 50% chance that it will fail and a 50% chance that it will succeed. The other reason is that if it does get let into the wild us humans will try and hunt it again which will make it.... Extinct! (yay)

Can science explain the origin of life? A full scientific explanation for the origin of life does not currently exist, but research groups around the globe are tackling the mystery. Here we'll take a look at a few of their discoveries. 

Darwin's theory of biological evolution tells us that all life on Earth may have originated from a single, relatively simple reproducing creature, living in the distant past. This idea is based on many observations one of which is that when living things reproduce, children are often born with random new traits. 

Those with negative new traits are less likely to survive and reproduce. Those with positive new traits are more likely to survive and pass those traits on to their children. Over multiple generations, positive traits build up allowing relatively simple life forms to evolve into complex life forms and even split into multiple different species. 

A careful look at the fossil record overwhelmingly confirms Darwin's theory - life forms get simpler and simpler as we go back in time. The record suggests that all life on Earth emerged from primitive cellular colonies which first appeared roughly three and a half billion years ago. 

Originated-

Single, relatively simple reproducing creature,

Reproduce

random new traits.

living in the distant past.

relatively simple life forms

 complex life forms

Fossil

primitive cellular colonies

Those with negative new traits are less likely to survive and reproduce. Those with positive new traits are more likely to survive and pass those traits on to their children. Over multiple generations.

The bugs mum had different babies one was with browne legs and whiten legs the whiten bug died the one with browne legs survived because the brown bug was camoflague with the tree.

So the brown bag made more babies and they all got bigger and one was bigger and one seller the seller bug died because it looked like food.

Monday 27th July 2020

 

GENOMICS is the study of genes that make up the body. 

Organism - a living thing (humans, bugs, birds, animals etc). 

XX - female

XY - male

Humans have 22 sets of chromosomes which are made up of A, C, G and T bases. These are in different combinations which change your physical appearance/characteristics. 

Identical twins will have the same DNA. Non-identical twins will not.

Another day at the circus.

Another day and another summer there was a family. Who went to the circus because one day it
was Emma's birthday so her dad wanted to take her out with the family to the circus.
When they arrived there were lots of lovely people like funny clowns,animals and strong men.
But 20 minutes later Emma walked into something that she never should have walked in.
There was a clown eating an elephant and then the elephant turned into a zombie.
Emma feels scared and says to herself “I’m surprised that a clown can do that”.
Then she sprinted away to her dad. She yelled to her dad “I just saw a clown eat an elephant!”.
Dad replied “you’re a liar!”.  

They went to go get candy floss, but the lady (that sold the candy floss) put poison in the candy
floss. So when Emma’s little sister Bella ate the candy floss, she got a stomach ache.
She went to the bathroom for a number two. The lights were flickering on and off.
A stilt walker came into the bathroom, and scared her by holding a knife.
Bella cries and screams out loud, calling for her dad “HEEEEELLPPP!!!”.
Emma ran into the bathroom to see, but it was all in Bella’s imagination. 

They both went out the bathroom and went to sit in the audience of the circus and waited for the
performance to start. Then when the ringmaster came out, he called his elephant, but the elephant
was a zombie. The ringmaster calls out the other animals (lion, giraffe, tiger and monkey) and
they stumble out dragging one leg. The monkeys were swinging around pooping on everybody.
The elephants used their big long trunk and started whipping its trunk around and slapping
people in the face. The giraffe ate a trapeze artist, catching them mid somersault and
swallowing them in one gulp. Meanwhile, the lion and tiger were fighting each other because the
lion was a zombie, and the tiger wasn’t yet. The ringmaster was riding the tiger.
The lion wanted to eat the ringmaster, but the tiger was defending him. 

The crowd was screaming. Some were being slapped, some were eaten by lions,
some were sat on by the elephant. The lion finally gets to bite the tiger, who then turns into a
zombie. The ringmaster fell off the tiger, into the centre of the ring. All the animals wanted to
eat him. He screamed as he was eaten alive. Emma made it out, but couldn’t find Bella or
dad anywhere. She tries to look for them, but when she was by the door, the building collapsed
and she saw her dad sacrifice himself at the last minute so she could get out alive. 

From that day on, Emma was terrified of clowns and zombies. And she never went to a circus
ever again.
