Renewable or non-renewable

Today we had a separating game. We had to separate renewable and non-renewable resource . Our team had an argument about if the sun is renewable or not. Micah though it was non-renewable because he thought it was non-renewable. We also had an argument about water because I thought it wasn't renewable But it was kind of really non-renewable. After we looked in the i-pad for if the sand and water is renewable or not. It was both renewable. I learned an amazing fact about sand . The fact was every 6 million years the sand will increase 55 km.

Oil

Oil is a Natural Resource. It can be used to power cars. and make plastic and medicine. It can also be used to make makeup and make clothes and mats.

Oil is pumped by an oil rig it drills the ground.Drilling in the ocean is a bad because oil spill could happen and people,animals and plants could die because of oil spills.

Oil is good it can also be bad.

Decomposition Experiment

Today we did a decomposition experiment to find out which decomposes fastest banana,paper or plastic,we thought that banana decomposes fastet because it's a fruit and it is very soft.

At the end we thought that plastic would decompose last,but all of us wanted to know how long it takes for plastic to decompose.We also wondered where the kids that goes to the landfill where they take the rubbish that they pick up?We found out that someone takes the rubbish on the spaceships

up to space.

What the Lorax taught us

Today we started a new UOI about sharing the planet. We read a book called the lorax.  It was about a guy who was named the oncler and did not really help the invierment. The oncler was not very smart by using all the truffla trees because he did not save any. And if he did not save any then he'll not have any more to make thneeds. The oncler demanded to have the truffla trees cut down because he could then make more money. You need the thneeds because their clothes but you also want one because maybe you like them.

Our Expo

Today we had the chance to show our learning and practice persuading. We needed to get our visitors' attention and we did. Our presentation were designed well. Our images and messages had impact!

We believe we were successful in persuading our parents to take action. We gave them 3 suggestion.

Being good communicators meant we had to be knowledgeable, creative, thinkers and risk-takers. We learned we are all responsible for protecting children's rights.
