Currently, we were able to finish most of what needs to be done. The report and voting box re done, along with the video. the product and the powerpoint slide are near completion and most should be ready by the next IPW session.

term 2 week 4 reflection

1. What you know about your project product.

I know that our product would help stop global warming

2. What you think the direction your group should be taking.

I think my group is on the right track and should be close to completing the project soon

3. What you have learnt about the product.

I have learnt that global warming is affecting us in our daily lives

4. What you would be doing to improve on the product.

I would make sure my product is strong and durable and most importantly eco-friendly

reflection(edited)

the project is a board game designed to convey the message of global warming. it tells us the causes and effects of global warming and how we con prevent it. it is based on shakes and ladders.

We will be on the direction of global warming. we have just a bit more to go.

I have learnt that the product can make people more aware of global warming.

we could paint the product to make it more interesting.

Term 2 Week 4

I know that our group would be doing a game which promotes global warming. Creating the game. It helps to promote global warming.Doing more research

reflection

A lot has been done. I did the blueprint for a board game. we intend to do a board game to show the effects of global warming.

reflection

I did my work

Term 2 Week 2

Week 8

I have learnt important life skills and hope to apply them during work next time. We have completed all our task and are trying to improve them,

week 9

Not much was done today. we finalized the plans for our board game,basically. we intend to gat a cardboard board from popular bookstore and we got issac, a team member to create questions for the board game based on collected information.

The game

The rough sketch on how it roughly look like

reflection

i have made the layout for the game board that i want to make

the objective of the game is to let people know and understand the consequence of global warming and teach them how to prevent global warming

reflection 10 / 2 / 10

i have guided my team and told them what to do and have decided on what product to make

Reflection

I have completed the worksheet and have a basic understanding on how to start the project

today, we basically compeleted the worksheet passed to us. I did a bit more research into global warming, espically the melting polar ice.

melting ice

Melting Ice

According to most research, over the past 100 years, there has been a half degree of temperature increase in the earth's average temperature. This may sound like nothing, but every degree has a adverse effect on our earth's temperature. The subject todays is melting polar caps.

Basically the polar ice float by displacing large amounts of water. However, with the increase in temperature, the ice are falling into the ocean and when the ice falls, it displaces a certain amount of water and increase the water height.

Though the ice caps are the seemingly most likely to melt, that is not true. Greenland is more a possibility. If it melts, it would add 7 metres to the sea level.

Scientists predict that by 2100, sea levels would rise by a max of 20 inches, and this would have a major impact on coastal cities.

Week 2 reflection

After reading wen kai's post, i have thought about the products we could make, like a product that can reduce the rate of global warming, or a video or podcast to warn people of the consequences if we do not stop global warming.

Week 2 Reflection

Global warming technically speaks of the changing climate around us. It is caused by the greenhouse effect and that causes the world to warm up. Basically, the heat gets trapped by the carbon dioxide gases and only some heat gets reflected to space. The increase in cars which are powered by fuel also adds more carbon dioxide around the atmosphere, making the weather even hotter eventually.

The ozone layer is also depleting due to the increase in carbon dioxide. If the ozone is completely depleted, we could be facing extreme heat and ultraviolet rays from the sun, which from the radiation from the sunlight could kill us.

The increase in temperature around the globe will also melt the polar caps. Hence, water level in the seas would rise.This could cause flash floods and kill millions, especially those living in coastal areas.

Another factor contributing to global warming is the action of cutting down trees. Trees as we know, helps balance the percentage of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the atmosphere. With lesser trees, the efficiency of the trees balancing the percentage would be deeply affected.

We can help to save our world by re-using, re-cycling and reduce the need for materials. With everyones' help, we can help do our part in saving our world.
