Operation Duck Pond... are we keen?

stuff from old naycol site here

A bit of Earth and Atmosphere Science...
Global warming task... open the doc and then save it in the dropbox (folder set up)
Some demo's....
Because of the effects we observed using the convection box and the globe, we would expect...
also what wattage did we calculate for the sun? (see our solar heating expt below)

But what we actually get is something like this...
So what does all this mean for us living in the South Is of NZ..... (pp 214 - 215 Scipad)
And for experts:
The Canterbury plains experience very hot conditions, partly due to adiabatic heating, what is this?
Hint: ever noticed what happens when you pump up a bike tyre, or let the air out ?
What about on a larger scale ... El Nino
We are way too small and insignificant to interfere with these sorts of processes... right? :/
And a bit of a lesson on weather maps

Some physics work.... (pun intended)
Are we as fast or as powerful as Usain bolt?.......Lets find out
Speed.... v = d / t easy then!

How to make the most of the suns energy... (black 1s, blue 2s, yellow 35 s, white, most wouldnt set fire)
.... with our cans in the sun we only got about 300 W/m2, any idea for improvement?

Clip covering rate of reactions
How might that stuff be applied in the real world? |
Investigations:
Our results ... here
- Microwaved plants article and task
- What are we all looking at below?
Our results ... here
Ecology:
- Link to stuff on MRS C GREN etc (from my old site)
- Photosynthesis and respiration worksheets
- Our mung bean experiment, pics and data
- Food web task
10 skulls for you to 'decode' , ie which one is which? .... how did you decide?
goat, cat, fish, horse, oystercatcher (bird), weasel, duck, possum, human, pig
If you only had a fragment of a skull could you still tell? ... what about a tooth?
