Here is my science influency project.
Define: Our earths surface temperature has increased from the greenhouse gases released when people burn fossil fuels. The amount of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere has been rising for decades and it traps more heat near the Earth’s surface and it causes the temperatures to rise. Our atmosphere contains more greenhouse gas molecules, and more infrared energy from the surface and ends up being absorbed by the atmosphere. Now more of the extra energy from a warmer atmosphere radiates back down to the surface and the Earth’s surface temperature rises.
Deliver:
Discover: There have been many people who have made improvements to the energy efficiency and the vehicle fuel economy. Now there are increases in wind and solar power, biofuels from organic waste, making a price on carbon, and trying to protect forests. We use theses ways to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide and to trap heat gases on the planet. There are many effects of rising temperatures. One of the main effects are heat waves. They are dangerous and can cause illnesses such as heat cramps, heat strokes or even death. Warmer temperatures can have a chain reaction of other changes around the world. Increasing air temperature can affect the oceans, weather, snow and ice, and plants and animals.
Debrief: Something I did well was building my project on Minecraft. It was my first time ever using Minecraft so I am ver proud on how it turned out. I was also able to research and think about the climate issue. With more time I hope I can improve on my creating skills in Minecraft so I can do better on future creating assignments. I struggled on using sway because it wouldn’t let me screen record. Overall I really liked being able to present my climate project in a new and creative way.
