Slide 7

Definitions There are a whole bunch of ocean currents around the world. Some of these ocean currents form a gyre, or swirling vortex of water kind of like when the water goes down the plug in the bath but the water doesnt go anywhere, it just swirls!

Slide 8

There is a huge gyre in the North Pacific Ocean. As it slowly swirls, it collects all the rubbish that ends up in the ocean from the wet coast of the USA. As a result, there is a huge floating pile of garbage in the middle of the ocean. It is just DISGUSTING! It is another example of how human beings are destroying the planet!

Slide 9

Map of the Trash Vortex

Slide 10

What is the Trash Vortex? The Great Pacific Garbage Patch (also known as Trash Vortex) is located in the North Pacific Gyre. It is literally a giant floating patch of garbage, twice the size of Texas, and made up of millions of pounds of plastic, chemical sludge and other debris.

Slide 11

How do you think the garbage got there? In your groups, think of 3 to 5 ways that the garbage has ended up in the Trash Vortex.

If Earth were an apple... We can only live on a small part of our planet. It is really important to look after our environment. Whole Class Activity 1.Lets pretend this apple is our Earth. 2.Cut into quarters. of Earth is covered in salty water. 3.Of the last , 1/3 is desert. We cant live there. 4.Another 1/3 is mountains. We cant live there. 5.We are left with 1/3 of the remaining . 6.What does this tell us about our Earth?

Slide 40

SESSION FIVE

Slide 41

What is Global Warming? The Greenhouse Effect: Plants that would not be able to survive outside can grow in a greenhouse. Greenhouses are made from glass. They work by trapping heat from the sun, like a car thats parked in sunlight. The glass allows the heat energy and light from the sun to enter the greenhouse but prevents it from escaping, so the plants stay warm enough to live through the winter. Lets go and see the Greenhouse at our school

Slide 42

Acid Rain Factories, homes, cars, trucks and buses burn fuels that send some poisonous gases into the air. These poisons combine with water in the atmosphere and become part of rain, snow or fog. Then, when the poisoned water, called acid rain, falls to the ground, it damages the environment. Acid rain can destroy the leaves of plants, kill trees, pollute the soil and change the chemistry of lakes and streams. When that happens, animals, fish and other wildlife die.

Slide 43

Global Warming clips http://www.sciencekids.co.nz/videos/earth/gl obalwarming.html http://www.sciencekids.co.nz/videos/earth/gl obalwarming.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0kIaCKP lH4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0kIaCKP lH4 (Experiment by a boy)

Slide 44

Global Warming Diagram

Slide 45

So what? Our atmosphere is like a greenhouse. When the sun heats the Earths surface, the Earth radiates that heat back into space BUT like the glass in a greenhouse, gases in the atmosphere trap some heat. This causes our planet to heat up!

Slide 46

What do the scientists say? Many scientists believe human activity has created the increase in greenhouse gases: Burning coal, oil and gas to heat buildings, run cars and power factories. Burning these fuels releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

Slide 47

What does this mean? Glaciers could all melt Ocean rises Planet could flood Our animals are in danger of surviving And so are we!

Slide 48

What can YOU do? You can help! Walk, use a bike, carpool or take the bus Turn off lights, TV and computer when not using them Plant more trees they absorb Carbon Dioxide from the air Recycle cans, plastic bottles and bags, newspapers, cardboard, metal and glass Learn more about renewable energy resources like wind, solar and wave power. Encourage people you know to buy products that are eco- friendly and that are specially made to save energy. Teach others about this colossal problem.

Slide 49

Draw a cartoon Draw a cartoon showing the activities you can do to help slow down Global warming. Use hexagonal templates

SESSION SIX

Slide 51

Closer to Home!

Slide 52

List three features you can think of to describe... A mountainA riverA lake

Slide 53

A mountain is... Large landform Stretches above the ground Usually has a peak Steeper than a hill Caused by volcanoes Erode because of action of rivers, weather conditions and glaciers Cold Highest mountain in NZ Mt Cook 3,754 m, whereas Highest mountain in World Mt Everest 8,848 m Aoraki / Mount Cook

Slide 54

A lake is... Lakes form when water finds its way to a basin. Lakes need a continual source of new water, otherwise they will eventually dry up. Lakes mostly contain fresh water.

Slide 55

What is a river? http://www.primaryhomeworkhelp.co.uk/rivers.html A natural waterway (sometimes diverted by man) Moves water from higher to lower levels Important part of The Water Cycle Water in a river comes from surface runoff from precipitation, from groundwater, and from release of water from stored reservoirs
