Daily Update #12

The LAST daily update will happen tomorrow. I hope you all had a great time with us! ~E

Here's a challenge!

Go out and treat yourself to a vegan pizza! Go somewhere that can sell vegan pizza and have a try, it could be quite good.

You may find something that you enjoy that is vegan and will help with the issue of agriculture. The more vegan-related things you buy, the less demand for animal

Did you know that every pig has their own personality?

Pigs are just like humans and have their own personalities. They can feel sad on days which will affect how they act. There are also Proactive pig and reactive pigs who react differently in different environments and conditions.

Science Experiment

Global warming is how scientists describe the gradual warming of our global climate. Scientists think that the trend towards global warming can be attributed to the buildup of greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere from industrialization. Another problem is deforestation, as we remove plants and trees from the environment to meet a high demand for for lumber or by clear cutting fields for farming and urbanization. By removing trees from Earth’s environment, are we changing how greenhouse gasses are processed in the Earth’s atmosphere? What effect do trees and plants have on greenhouse gasses?

Aim: To find out what effect the trees and plants have on greenhouse gasses.

Hypothesis: I predict that the jar without the plant will be warmer because the plant in the other jar will be changing carbon oxygen & cooling the world

Apparatus:

• 2 large jars
• 1 plant
• 2 thermometers

 

Variables:

Independant: What’s inside the jar.

Dependant: The heat inside the jars.

Controlled: The type of jar.          

Method        

1. Put the plant in one of the jars.
2. Put the thermometers in both jars.
3. Put the lids on both of the jars.         
4. Record the temperatures at 10 mins, 20 mins and 30 mins
5. Graph results

Graph of our results:

Time	Plant jar	Non-plant jar
10mins	30°C	26°C
20mins	15°C	32°C
30mins	18°C	24°C

Summary:

At the end, we didn’t have enough time to finish the experiment and do it for an hour, we had trouble reading the temperatures and getting them accurate so the results were rather mixed up and we couldn’t get a specific conclusion but two of the readings showed that the non plant jar was warmer so we just went with that.

Conclusion:

Overall our hypothesis was correct. The jar with the plant inside it had started cooling down, while the other jar got somewhat hotter.

Daily update #10

Hope you have all been doing and reading the daily updates! ~E

Did you know...

Numerous studies have linked the consumption of animal flesh to cancer. A major Harvard study found that people who frequently eat chicken cooked with-

out the skin (supposedly the “healthier” way to prepare chicken) were 52 percent more likely to develop bladder cancer than people who don’t eat chicken. Also, that’s one of the reasons of tax meat in America.

Daily Update #9

Here's the next daily update. Try to doing this one every Monday! ~E

Here's a challenge!

Today is Meatless Monday! (Again)

Challenge yourself to not eat or buy any meat today!

You can start to do this every week, only one day where you don’t eat meat. This could help with the less demand for meat. Check out the video to learn more about it; https://youtu.be/Jv8u9VOgkiQ

Daily Update #6

This is our 6th Daily Update! Have you checked out our previous updates?? ~J

Did you know....

Machinery within agriculture can use up finite resources and cause us to have less resources. Machinery uses up finite resources like fossil fuels which we need to use. Agriculture uses up finite resources like land and water which are even more important for us to have. It was stated that agriculture uses up 38% of the land have and 70% of freshwater.  We need to be careful in how much we use these finite resources as we have a limited amount of them.

Daily Updates #5

Fifth day of daily update! Please just try to give yourself a challenge or a chance to change! ~C

Give yourself a treat and go out picking for food!
You can make plans to go picking for anything that is in season!

This will mean that less machinery is being used for picking fruits,

thus using less finite resources. You are also not using plastic

that are used to package fruits and also helping to not use finite

resource within agriculture.
