Climate Change – Response to Texts

 

Think carefully about each question, and use evidence from the texts to support your conclusions. Write your answers in full sentences, and use explanations and examples where needed.

 

  1. What are two of the largest sources of climate change? Explain what they are.

 

Source One:Deforestation  Deforestation Is When You Burn Or Cut Down Forests And It Could Be Bad Because Trees Absorb Carbon Dioxide And When You Cut The Down Or Burn Them They Release It All Into The Environment.
Source Two: Fossil Fuels Fossil Fuels Are Fuels Made From Burning Fossils Or Coal, And They Are Bad For The Environment Because When Burning Them Down To A Liquid You Create Excess Carbon Dioxide

 

  1. Explain what impact climate change is having on our environment. Include at least 2 examples.

 

Climate Change Has Many Impacts Like How In Some Places It Can Make The Ocean Rise And Swallow Up An Entire Island And In Others It Can Cause Droughts.

 

  1. What are greenhouse gases?

 

GreenHouse Gases Are Gases Produced By Humans And Animals Know As Farts And Burps, And They Are Harmful To The Environment Because They Contain Some Harmful Gases.

 

  1. How does deforestation contribute to climate change?

 

DeForestation Contributes to Climate Change Because Trees Absorb Carbon Dioxide And When You Cut The Down Or Burn Them There Is Nothing That Can Absorb The Smog\Air Pollution.

 

  1. Why is it important to reduce our carbon footprint?

 

It Is Important To Reduce Our Carbon Footprint Because Carbon Increases The Speed Of Climate Change, And If That Happens Then The Entire World Would End Up Destroyed Due To The Land Drying Up And Every Living Thing Die Of Thirst

 

  1. Do you think we, as New Zealanders,are doing a good job of slowing down climate change? Provide at least 2 reasons for your answer.
No I Don’t Think That We Are Doing A Good Job With Slowing Down Climate Change Because One, 99% Of Energy In New Zealand Is Fossil Fuel And Two, Around 1840 There Was Already Some 6.7 Hectares Of Forests Destroyed.

States of Matter – Response to Text

Answer each question to the best of your ability, using full sentences and make sure to include detail in your responses.

 

  1.   What are the three states of matter commonly found on Earth, and what are TWO of their properties?

 

State #1:Solid State #2:Liquid State #3:Gas
Property #1:Solids are rigid, some are also sharp Property #1: Liquid flows easily and takes the shape of its container Property #1:Gas atoms can move freely and are contained in a metal container so it doesn’t explode
Property #2:Solids can be hard or soft. Property #2:Liquids have a definite volume but not a definite mass. Property #2:Gasses have no definite vollume or mass

 

  1. What is the fourth state of matter called?
    1. Electrons
    2. Particles
  • Plasma
  1. Laser

 

  1. What happens to the speed of molecules when the temperature increases?
  • They move quicker
  1. They move slower
  2. They move at the same speed
  3. They explode.

 

  1. Explain what happens to the molecules in a liquid when they are cooled down to their freezing point.

 

They stop moving as much and they become a solid

 

  1. Explain what happens to the molecules in a liquid when they are heated to their boiling point.

 

They liquid starts to evaporate and turn into gas

 

  1. What could be the reason for the fact that gases can be compressed more easily than solids or liquids?

 

The reason could be because the atoms in a gas can move freely and because of that they can then be compressed easily.

 

  1. Explain how each of these jobs might need to understand and work with different types of matter. (You may need to research to find out more)

 

Job Gas Liquid Solid
Baker Bakers can smell steam when they are making potatoes. Bakers use oil when they are cooking to make sure nothing sticks to the pan. Bakers use Bread when they are preparing garlic bread.
Fire

Fighter

 Firefighter smell smoke well they rescue people from a burning building. Firefighter use water while they put out fires Firefighters use Hoses to put out fires.
