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:farms	Farms are a big source of climate change. They hold a bunch of animals that fart and bad air goes up and the green gas stops them from going up and makes them go down.
Source Two:coal	Coal produces smoke and trains produce the most smoke that I know of. Smoke is a bad gas so try to say away from it.

 

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

 

As ocean temperatures rise, hurricanes are getting stronger and wetter, which can cause direct and indirect deaths.Dry conditions lead to more wildfires, which bring many health risks.

 

1. What are greenhouse gases?

 

gases in the earth’s atmosphere that trap heat

 

1. How does deforestation contribute to climate change?

 

much of the carbon stored by trees is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide

 

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

 

mitigates the effects of global climate change, improves public health, boosts the global economy, and maintains biodiversity

 

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.

supporting businesses to cut their carbon emissions, and helping to reduce their impact in areas like agriculture, forests and water.

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:Solid is a hard substance like brick or wood. There are many different ways to create the substance of liquid.	Property #1LIquid is a wet substance like juice or water liquids can be shown in many different ways just like the image right above.	Property #1Gas is an airy substance. It is just air like farts,Oxygen or steam.
Property #2:Solids can be created from liquid like when you shake cream in a jar it transforms into butter.	Property #2 Liquids are an easy type of substance that is very easy to get into things.	Property #2 You can create steam by boiling hot water in a pot and steam is formed.

 

2. What is the fourth state of matter called?

1. Electrons
2. Particles
3. Plasma
4. Laser

 

3. What happens to the speed of molecules when the temperature increases?

1. They move quicker#
2. They move slower
3. They move at the same speed
4. They explode.

 

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

 

the average energy of the molecules decreases

 

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

 

More energetic ,molecules change to a gas,spread out,and form bubbles.These rise to the surface and enter the atmosphere.

 

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

 

Gases are compressible because most values of a gas is composed of the large amounts of empty space between the gas particles.

 

7. 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	Carbon dioxide	water	flour
Fire Fighter	Compressed air	water	Dry ice
Welder	carbon dioxide	welding fluid	Metal
