Water pollution - Essay

 Water pollution has been a problem for years. We must realise that if we don’t do something about it, it could seriously affect our world even more than it has already. Unfortunately it is and has only been getting worse. 

This serious issue has been caused by rubbish such as plastic bags, plastic bottles, glad wrap, packets and more( being thrown out and ending up in the water, which has and still is harming sea animals) bacteria which sometimes is left in rubbish and ends up contaminating the water  and other toxic things in the ocean, rivers, streams etc. Leaving the water undrinkable, unswimmable and toxic to the environment and humans. 

It is endangering and bringing extinction to sea mammals. Thousands of sea mammals such as sea turtles, seals, seabirds and others die each year from either ingesting or being tangled in plastic, potentially endangering a range of sea life. Water pollution is also causing a massive change in climate, causing global warming which is soon to be the reason for our own defeat/extinction.

To fix this problem people need to be more sustainable. People could do this by buying reusable resources or make stuff out of things that you won’t use again or could possibly be harmful for the environment, the world's population and the world in general. Another way of people being sustainable would be for us to put our rubbish in the bin.   

In Conclusion we can see that this all rounds up to how important sustainability is and how it links to everyday life. We must make a change before it’s too late.  Even small changes such as being more aware of how we are using our resources can help address climate change.

Water pollution facts, types, causes and affects

Pigs heart

Today in Science, Our class dissected a pigs heart.  The equipment we used was Scissors, Scalpel and Tweezers, My group only really used the Scalpel. We looked at the different parts of the heart and where they were. The parts we looked at was the Ventricle, Atrium, Valves, Left & Right side of heart, Arteries and Veins. First thing we had to do was cut open the hart on the left side and analyse it. You could feel how the valve was thicker on the left side then it was on the right, this is because the left side is the side pumping the oxygen around the body that is why  it feels like our heart is on the left or then the right. After we looked at the left side we opened the right. We opened the heart using a scalpel we had to be very careful because it was very sharp.   

We have been learning about the parts of the heart and how they function in the body and in general. 

We dissected a heart to see where the parts are in the heart, which part is which and, study how they work and help our body. 

The parts saw was the left + right side of the heart, Aorta, Heart strings, Valves, Atrium and Ventricles. 

I enjoyed dissecting a pigs heart because it was interesting to see what the parts actually look like and where the parts were. 

 

Coraline - Lighting and Colours

In film studies the class have been working on Lighting and Colours. Our tasks was to write a paragraph explaining the use of colour and lighting and how they are used to create the two worlds in Coraline. I displayed this on a google doc with two scenes that are both located in the kitchens just in both worlds.

I am learning how to explain the lighting and colours are used in films. 

The way this shows my learning is by showing my understanding of the topic we are doing,

I am not currently wondering anything.

What makes a good leader

Every Wednesday year 9 has leaders day where we do task about what a leader is and what a leader should be like. Last week we had to take a video of ourselves saying what we thought a good leader was and give a example of who we thought was a good leader.   

I don't feel comfortable to show my video so I made this instead.  

Coraline Sexy paragraph

 In English, My class has been working on sexy paragraphs. The task we have been set was to find 4 scenes in the film Coraline and write a sexy paragraph for each 1. the theme I did this about was looks can be deceiving.  I have shown how this theme has been displayed through the camera shots and angles in a slideshow and I hope you learn something about the film.

I am learning to write and understand sexy paragraphs and to analyse the looks of the characters we're also learning about the angle shots in films.

This work shows I'm learning by showing my understanding and showing what I can do. 

 I am not currently wondering anything.

Group performance

 In music this term we are preforming in groups, In my group there is Tehya, Megan and I, we are all singing. The song that we are singing is when i see you by Miley Cyrus. What i think this song is about is that life isn't gonna be easy there is gonna be a lot of up's and down's but as long as you have people who can help you through it you can make it through. We're singing the first 1.30 sec of the song. I'm a little nervous about performing in front of the class but i'm sure we'll be fine.

     

Coraline

In English my class have been learning about film studies. We have been focusing on Themes and Ideas about a film called Coraline which was made in 2009. Near the end of Term 3 our class watched the Coraline and now we are doing tasks and things to do with the movie. this week we had two tasks to choose from, The tasks i chose was to make a guide booklet which is explaining how each theme is shown in the film using Coggle, creating a mind map showing  examples and explaining one of the themes.

I hope you like and learn something from my work.

what i am learning to do is to analyse the characters, theme and the messages shown in films.

The way this shows I am learning is because as I am presenting my work I am showing my understanding of the work that we have been set .

There is currently nothing I am wondering.
