Mining Fossil Fuels

What Fossil Fuels are mined? Mining is used to extract solid fossil fuels, such as coal, digging, scraping, or otherwise exposing buried resources.


 How are they mined? Coal is preserved by the earth in a rock layer called a coal seam; mining is the only way to remove it whether it's near the surface or deep underground.

Where are they mined? fossil fuel Any fuel — such as coal, petroleum (crude oil) or natural gas that has developed within the Earth over millions of years from the decayed remains of bacteria, plants or animals.

1. Oil -
2. Coal -
3. Gas -

Activity: Cookie Mining


On the sheet provided you need to make two drawings of your cookie.
1. Looking down at your cookie.
2. From Side on -  of the imaginary habitat that will live on the top of the cookie. ( trees, bushes, flax, sea, etc)

Material:
cookies
toothpick
plate

  Steps:
The teacher will give you a cookie
Put the cookie ion the plate
Pick the chocolate out of the cookie with the toothpick


Conclusion: When fossil fuses get puled out of the ground every thing around it will get killed over time.

Wind power

1. Anemometer:
2. Beaufort wind scale:

MATERIALS

  

1. paper  
2. pin
3. cups  
4. tape  
5. pencil 

STEPS

1. Get all of the stuff
2. Tape the sticks together 
3.  Tape the cups to the end of the stick
4. Pin the stick to the pencil

Instructions:

• Go to the measuring place and set up your wind gauge.
• Make sure everyone in your group is ready to start their roles.
• Record how many times it spins and record it in the table below.
• Count the number of spins in 15 seconds.
• Record it on your chart.

FINDINGS

	Place name on school grounds	Number of Spins in 15 seconds
1.	Field	20
2.	Old J Block site	15
3.	Grass hill in the quad	10
4.	Tennis Court gate	3

• 
  

CONCLUSION: On the field there 80 spins per min The wind speed was 13-20 mph on the Beaufort scale was three. On the old j block site spins per min was 60 wind speed was two Beaufort scale 0. On the grass hill, spins per min were 40 wind speed was 6-12 on the Beaufort scale it was two. On the court gate, it was12 wind speed was10-20 on the Beaufort scale.

	Spins per minute	Wind speed ( kph)	Beaufort Scale
Field	80	13-20	3
Old J Block site	60	2	0
Grass hill	40	6-12	2
Tennis Court Gate	12	10-20	1

C.I.P

This week in C.I.P it was a bit wet so we started to make a 3D version of our dream house to make the dream house we used tinkered. Tinkered is a great way to help you make your dream house. When I started to make my dream house I thought is was hard but as I got us to it, it got easier. My favorite part of using the app was there were lots of shapes maps and to choose from. The hardest thing about using there was that you had to find the right size shapes for the right size areas. I chose this because it was a lot of shapes to choose from. 

 In the second half of the day, we went out to the field to plant some plants. First, we got some gloves and there we got the plant and the shovel and we dug a hole size of a bucket than we put the plant in the hole and filed it in without killing the plant.

In the holidays

Today I am going to share two high lights in my holidays. I was very excited because we were off school for two weeks. In the first week of the holidays, I went to my nanas house on Monday an Tuesday because my mum was working. For the rest of the week, I stayed at home and I was getting really excited for the last week of the holidays because I was going to Auckland as I was getting more and more excited It was time.

On Tuesday I woke up at 4:30 am I was really tired me and my dad went to the airport we got on the plane, on the plane was fun we got food like biscuits and more when we got there my dads friend picked us up and we went to a truck we got in the truck and we got food. After that we had to drive to wellington and driving there took nine hours. We stopped every two hours to some time get food or go to the bathroom. when we got there at 9:00 pm we had to wait until 11:00 pm to get on the ferry so we sat there trying to go to sleep but could not so we waited and waited. Then we got on we got out of the truck and we went to our room and went to sleep.

The bout left at 3 am so we would get there at 6 am we woke up and went down and got some breakfast. When we got to pickdin we drove to chch that took 5 hours when I got there we went home and slept for 15 hours.

Orana park

On Tuesday we went to Orana Park. Orana Park is were there a lot of animals like monkeys tigers and lions/grillers/wiled dogs/kiwi and more. My favorite animals were the lions and grillers they were my favorite because of how big they were, and how independent they are.

When we got there we dropped our bags and had some morning tea. after that, we went to the meercats we look at them for 5 mins and we moved on. we walk on this long path when we got to the end we went into a cage with some keas we stayed there for a little bit when we went out we went into a room our instructor talked about some keas.

We went to the kiwis we were going to took some photos but we were not allowed. In the cage the were two kiwis and one howl. when we walked in we had to get us to the dark. we look for a long time but we did not see one.

Four things that we learned at Orana park!!

1. There is only one black rhino in the world 
2. Dogs in the wild let other baby dogs eat before them
3. Elephants are the only animal that can't jump
4. A rhinoceros horn is made of hair.

ART/painting

Last week for art, in our stop motion we started to make our backdrops. My group's backdrop is about the ocean. Before we started to paint we got one vivid and screeched some rocks and waves. Then we started to paint the colors that we used was black blue and white. For the rocks, we mixed black and white, for the ocean we just painted it blue. For the sky, we mixed blue and white. My favorite was the painting because of the different colors. What would be your favorite thing to paint? My favorite thing that I would paint is about league!!

Today we watched a documentary, the documentary was about climate change. I think this was the most interesting documentary I've ever watched I think this because I learned a lot about it.

I was surprised about how much information/facts was there was. I was excited about how much I learned. My favorite thing that I learned was how much refuges there is. I was worried about how much smoke the factory is proposing.  

In 2040 I think I would like to see is no body is using fil
