Feedback for Sheldon and Alvin

We think that you have found some good information. Next time you could summarise the main points because it got kinda bouring. They needed to be more descriptive with the google searches that they did. next time you need to sort out who is going to say what. They really consintrated on their question on the subject of pollution.

Nicky and Emma's Powerpoint

Once they had already read it out because people were talking they did a really good summary of what they had already talked about.
they talked really clearly.
they explained what things were just incase we didn't understand what it was so they explained what it was in a good way that we could understand what it was.

My opinions:
I think it was really good because the PowerPoint that they made they had done in their spare time.

Feedback for the sharing of inquiry information - Elise and Daniel C

Elise: she did not say all of one of the sub question she just went blah blah blah instead of saying it all out.

Both: they wrote out all of there information really well and they talked really clearly. For each sub question they have made a separate chart for it so that you know that it is a new sub question, they have a box for the changes form the past and another one for now.

Things that they need to do better=
Elise: next time I think Elise should make sure that she says all of the sub question so that we don’t have to read it ourselves because that wasn’t what the sharing was for.

Feedback for the sharing of inquiry information - Matt, Daniel K & Sam

Sam: he read and spoke really clearly. He made sure that the whole class was listening before he talked.

Matt: He fixed the mistakes that he made, he read and spoke really clearly

Daniel K: he needs to tell the other people in his group that he needs to have a time to talk.

All: they made sure that they showed us all of the websites. It was good that they organized it in a google doc. They showed us what we might lose by caring on how we are. They made it sound like a good thing that the world is going to warm up.

Things that they need to do better=
All: they need to make sure that they make sure that everyone gets the same amount of time to talk in the group because Daniel K didn’t get to talk that much at all.

Feedback for the sharing of inquiry information - Clare

Both: They got a lot of information in their information organizer. They made sure that they .

Things that they need to do better=
Both: they didn’t change some of the words we could tell that they hadn’t changed it because they couldn’t pronounce them very well.

Clare: you need to make sure that you know how to pronounce the words so that we all know what she is talking about. I know that you-bin didn’t want to talk you need to make sure that she talks to get her English better.

Andrill project Notes By Cassie

I would hate to be in Antarctica because it is -20.6 but at least they
have a room and it is 18 degrees. Is there a risk of cracking the ice?
Yes
the ice constantly cracks they have to make sure that it doesn't move
and they have special equipment, as the ice warms up it cracks.

What
preparations have been made for drilling to get underway?
They started
planing for this trip for 8 years, they have to drill in a certain
place, the site that are working on there is a team of 10 and they
started working on moving the equipment and they were moving equipment
in-40 degrees they

How much time have you spent in Antarctica
and has working there changed a lot since you first went there?
The guy
that they are talking to he has been working there for 20 years. Whats
changed? Scott base has been completely
rebuilt and communication has bee fix heaps and they only got a couple
of minutes a week if they were lucky, people were taking Advent of the
Continent, hey are not allowed to leave any rubbish they have to take
it all back to new Zealand

What
has been the warmest temperature in Antarctica?
He can't answer that
very well and some places it only get to -10 as the high the thing that
he is saying is the

How does the drill reach 1000m? it is quite a complex job. To do it they have to core it by using a diamond drill

What
information are you hoping to find out and do you expect this to be
different to previous drill core information?
the project has two main jobs the first one is poliotoligy the other job is to see how the way Antarctica is formed so far they have had great work

How
many different nationalities of scientists are there?
Do you all get
along and do you all use the same methods even though you are from
different countries? there are four nations us Italy
and the Germans the language of science is mostly English science
methodology scientists get n really well because they all do it the
same way.

How do you get the air bags under the sea ice to
support the drill rig?
the rig ways up to 200 tones what they attempt
to do is to put air bags to keep the rig up the drill holes and then
put the air bags udder the water.

What
are your hours of work, weekends, breaks and holidays etc for this type
of work?
when they start drilling they work 24/7 and they work 12 hours
a day they get breaks when they spell out people only one or two people
can have a break at a time.

Do you use the same drill bits to
drill through ice and rock and how often do you have to change them?

What are the drill bits made of?the main way hat they drill the ice is
to
heat up some water is to put it on the water and put pressure on it and
it cuts a hole in the ice.each diamond drill bite that is made of
diamond.

What do you miss most when working in Antarctica? children and wife the most they have got used to him going to Antarctica for a long time.

Why does the sea riser need to be straight? if it is not strait they will keep going down until the engine won't take anymore.

Do
you need any special skills to work at the drilling place, if so what
skills?
they have 4 tension who some of team are still ate uni.

Has
drilling ever had to be halted for any reason and are there people who
are against drilling in such a pristine environment?
yes it constantly gets stoped,
they often get the drill bits breaking. they have already Had couple of
breakdowns. yes there are people that are against drilling in
Antarctica.

Has
the drilling process been as successful as you wanted it to be?
last
year they drilled a hole of over 1000 meters under water each year they
have improved there drilling it is not about the ice it is about the core.

Reflection

Today I learned how to figure out which side you jump on for high jump. Because of this learning if I forget which side I go on I can figure it out so that I can do my jump properly. The next step in my learning is to see if it works for me.

Reflection- On Surface Features

Surface features on your blog should be correct. True or False?
Depends. I think that if it is in your portfolio it should be correct but if it is any other blog it dosen't matter because then you can have some spelling words to find and put in your book. The other blogs are more like your book than a blog so it dosen't really matter.

Reflection On Silence

'Silence is golden' True. I think silence is golden because then when there is silence you can get more work done in a smaller amount of time. If you have silence it means that hopefully everyone has more work finished in a smaller time period.

Because of this learning I can now make them feel more confidant by giving them engaraugement and sometimes you need to give them a partner for them to run with.

Daily Reflection

Today I learnt that some of the ice caps are melting because of global warming and some polar bears are drowning because they can't get to ice caps in time so they drown.
Because of this learning i will try not to do as much to cause global warming.
The next step in my learning is to take a quiz and see who would keep going the way that they are going and see who would and who wouldn't.

Todays Reflection

Today I learned that the C02 (carbon dioxide) is rising really high because of all the things that the human population is doing to the earth. Because of this learning I will try not to use the car too much and try to bike, scooter or rollerblade to school more. What I don't understand is how they got all of these figures because when I find out I would like to do something like that but for Animal Extinction. My next step is to find out how they did the graph and do one of my own.
