Activity - Persistent Pollution (Summer Learning Journey)

Activity - Share three new things you learn't about air pollution:

1. That smog is a type of air pollution and that it can affect the ability of humans visibility, and different health affects. Also that smog can harm plants and cause respiratory stress to humans.


2. When we burn fossils fuels to produce energy it forms green house gases and it gets released out into the air. Green house gases create a cycle of 3 different things from it. First off is climate change and so climate change creates higher temperatures, and then high temperatures can cause several different types of air pollution.

3. Climate change increases smog, from the high heat, it increases more levels of UV radiation (Ultra Violet Radiation). Climate change can also affect the rise in mold, this can have affects of extreme weather such as flooding. Flooding can majorly cause to damp and wet conditions and is highly likely at a risk of producing mold. Climate change also creates warmer weather, which can lead up to longer pollen seasons, and therefore from that there is more pollen production.

Shinning through the darkness of the night.

Activity - Flying Foxes (Summer Learning Journey)

Activity Question: What super power would you like to have?

My superpower I would like to have is being able to shape shift. If you don't know what shape shifting is, its when you are able to transform yourself into a creature, a certain shape, gender, or even a person. Why I would like to shape shift is because it can be helpful for things like if you wanted to run somewhere for example you could be a cheetah so you can run faster, or if you wanted to climb something you could be a monkey. I think having shape shifting would be fun to have as a power and useful for some occasions, and it can be very helpful. I think shape shifting would be a really cool and a useful power to have.

Activity - You are my sunshine (Summer learning journey)

In Nz, in the summertime the temperatures can be really hot causing a lot of people to get sun burnt. Sunburn isn’t fun to have, you can get skin cancer from it.

Here are five things you can do to not get sunburnt.

1. Apply sunblock on your face, legs, arms, etc before you head outside and its always good to apply some more on every once in a while.

2. Put a sunhat on, a lot of people can get very burnt on their faces, necks, and behind their ears so its a good thing if you were a sunhat.

3. You can always wear long sleeved t - shirts. Long sleeved t - shirts are more protective in
The sun and darker colours can also protect you from the sun as well.

4. Go into the shade every once in a while. Sitting outside in the sun can not always be so
good for your skin, you can always plan outdoor activities in the shade too.

5. Wear sunglasses. Wearing sunglasses is important, because your eyes can still get
Damaged from the sun, just like your skin can, if you get burnt on your eyes it can leave
You to have blurred vision and a burning sensation.
