Why We Should Care About E-waste Brooklyn/TJ

Why Should We Care About E-Waste

Introduction

Hi there today we are going to tell you why we care about E-waste and they destroyers in Ghana, Africa and Guiyu, China. Today we are also going to tell you the affects to the destroyers and how we can help them.

Paragraph 1

I think we should care because the destroyers in Ghana, Africa and Guiyu, China need more  protection of their rights because their getting sicker and sicker every day. Possibly more than 10 to 20 electronic waste destroyers are dying and they need our support so they can live.

Paragraph 2

I think we should care about the destroyers because there taking up their own life just for 1.50$. We all know thats a rip off price to be doing a days work and I think we should take matters into our hands try make it a 150$ instead of 1.50$. If they don’t want to help these people and

Paragraph 3

I think we should care because its ruining the community and the people around the community. When the devices that are old or has something wrong the take it to a e-waste factory or bin then people pick up the rubbish and they send it to Ghana and Guiyu. When the e-waste container boat arrives to the continent they take it to the destroyers so they can there job.

Paragraph 4

What the destroyer do and how the toxics stuff this is contained inside of the devices are released after they break it. How the toxic stuff inside of the devices are actually released is when they burn it. When the devices are burning the gas and toxic stuff are drifting with the smoke and the smoke blows into the people’s face. This gives you a hint how the people get sick and sicker and its because the smoke that is formed from the burning devices contain toxic gases.

Conclusion

This is why we care and want to help them so they can survive and have a normal long life. If you want to help then stop wasting money on electronic devices or if it breaks then don’t throw it in the bin. Here’s an idea use the broken electronics for parts but if you really want to help and if you feel sorry for these people then here’s a idea. We think that companies that sell electronic devices should contain less toxic gases in their devices.

SO THIS IS WHY WE SHOULD CARE ABOUT E-WASTE

Geometry - Tetrahedron Construction Complete Review

Today we were on our constructing phase of our tetrahedron task. First what we had to do was make 1 equilateral triangle on a big piece of cardboard. Then we had to cut it out of the piece of cardboard. Then we had to make a net to form our tetrahedron. Once we had made our net on our A3 piece of paper using the cardboard triangle we then cut our net out. After we cut the net out we then started forming our tetrahedron. As you already know above there is my completed 3-D tetrahedron.

Viral Videos Venn Diagram Brooklyn And TJ

Today on October the 22 we watch two videos and they were a positive video and a negative video and the negative part of the negative video was when the man rode the conveyer belt and two men got fired and the positive part of the positive video was that the 11 year old girl from New Zealand was on the famous american show called Ellen and she preformed a dance using the new hit from Nikki Minaj  anaconda and down below you will see that there are two links to the two videos.

Fishing Methods Information Report By Brooklyn & Brodie

Fishing Methods Information Report

Today we are going to tell you about the modern fishing methods that happen these days.

One of the fishing methods that is being used is dredging. This fishing method is useful but harmful to the ocean floors. When Dredging, there is one big metal cage being dragged along the ocean floor with multiple metal teeth sinking into the burning sand. For example, there were millions of hoe marks in the garden for seeds to plant. This happens on the ocean floor but there is no plants to plant this is when the floor gets dented.

The second fishing practice that is being used these days is Gill Nets. This is one long fishing net put under the water at various lengths and has a signal to get animals to come. For example I’m a turtle and I hear a signal I go towards and swim straight into the net and get my head stuck.

The third fishing practise that is being used these days is called Bottom Trawling. This is when a big net that is dragged along ocean floor behind the boat well the net collects the sea creatures that are swimming near the net for example its like a bus driving over zombies and collecting them at the same time.

The last fishing method that we are about to discuss is traps and pots. This method can also be dangerous to other sea creatures that don't want or need to be caught. For example some traps want crabs and they catch big fish those fish are going to be killed and caught.

In this story we told you what fishing methods are being used these days and what bad things they do to the ocean and  to the people them self. And did you know that 82% of the world loves fishing, not for the delicious fish but for the fun out of it.

Science Fair.

Today, TPS celebrated our topic of ‘discoveries with a science fair.All 10 classes shared their discoveries that they had made throughout the term.

Two things I found really interesting to find out at the science fair was.If you get a small bottle and you fill it up with cooking oil and water then you shake it then you should see that it is connecting then slowly separating.The finishing effect of the experiment is when the dark blue sink and the light blue floats.

The other experiment a static charge all you need a balloon and cut pieces of paper then you rub the balloon on your head and if doesn't work then your hair to short or you didn’t do it properly.If you do it right then you place the balloon on the pieces of paper.Then the paper should be able to connect to the balloon.

Here are some photos of the science fair so click on the link below.

Percentages Practice Game

W.A.L.T: Write a decimal as a percentage and a percentage as a decimal.

For maths we were learning how to order fractions, decimals and percentage. So what we use to help us was a percentages practise game. So what you have to do is read the bar the to and then try work it out by clicking on the icon and clicking on the patches of grass to insert the icon. Click on the link if you want to put your brain to the test. Percentages Practice Game.

What made Philip Brainard a good discoverer

Story starters.

As they say the man still sits in his chair thinking back in the day when he escaped from a dragons lair. 

No one know if this is true because he was the only one who escaped he says but people are saying if you were the only one who escaped then where is a mark to say this is true and since then he wasn't seen.

 A couple of weeks later he was found dead in in river of the baltic seas then people started thinking that he might be telling the truth.

 Couple of days later they found three teeth found in his body and a big burn mark on he left side of his chest why didn't he tell.

Adolescence

Today we started our learning called skills for adolescence we unpacked the word adolescence by thinking about what it means to us and the types of thing we are going to explore further. It is a scary and exciting time in our lives can you think of anything we have missed? What is one message about growing up you can share with us?
