04/30/17 How climate change effects water

http://www.water.ca.gov/climatechange/factsheet.cfm

Summary: This week in class we learned about how water is affected by climate change. When is rains it helps crops grow and it also keeps us from getting into droughts. When it rains too much then that causes a flood, which destroys building and other things. If it doesn't rain enough then that causes a drought which limits water supply.

SP2: Developing and using models
This week my group made a model. The model was of a small city, which had five buildings in it. We used the model city to help out with presenting about: Droughts, Floods, and Rain. I think that we could have done better presenting about the flood.

Climate change 04/09

Summary: This week in class we learned about climate change. We mostly studied the positives and negatives about it. One positive about it is that it creates a longer harvest season so we can grow wheat longer. One negative is that it helps diseases like malaria spread quicker through insects.

SP2: Developing and using models
This week in class we made model by getting a graph and plotting the points on it. We used the model to see how climate change has effected the temperature  over the years.

Green house effect 04/02

Summary: This week in class we learned about the Greenhouse effect. The green house effect is where types of Greenhouse gases get trapped the the atmosphere heating up the earth. The Greenhouse effect is being multiplied by humans using fossil fuels such as oil. If we use clean energy then we can prevent global warming, which is caused by the greenhouse effect.

SP4: Analyzing and interpreting data
This week in class we analyzed data by viewing videos and articles about the Greenhouse effect. We interpreted the data by putting it into notes that were short but showed a lot of information. We also played a game about climate change as-well as looking at a model that shows us the effects of climate change.
