Hurumanu: Climate Change and the future

Aim; To look at the different ways we can prevent climate change in the future.

How is sea level rise going to effect us in NZ

What places will be effected?

new area for people to live .

how close the houses on the coastal areas like graymouth

people that can live in new area 

useing less fosil fuils and use electrick car or walk,bike our public transport.

What other places around NZ will be affected?

Tonga,Fiji,cook island and Samoa

people on the coastal area 

What does this do to our drinking water?

What are the main concerns?

there will be much more salt water in our fresh water sources that we drink form.

1. Use public transport.
2.  Electric car.
3.  Solar panels.

Curbing climate change

What is the one, silver bullet solution?

Nothing cause no scientist is going to figure out a way to get rid of climate change.

What is the mix of things we need to start doing?

1.   Solar heating.
2.   Renewable energy.
3.   Get rid of fossil fuel

What are 3 others you can think of?

1.   Walking.
2.    Biking.
3.    Reuse and recycle

hurumanu renewable energy

Aim: To make a presentation that investigates different renewable energy's.

Section 1: Title Page

Make a title page that incorporates all renewable energy 's Hydro, Solar, Wind and Wave.

Section 2: Definitions

Define and provide a picture of each energy type.

1. Hydro Energy
2. Solar Energy
3. Wind Energy 
4. Wave Energy

Section 3; Investigate each of the 4 Energy types.
( Hydro ,Solar ,Wind ,Wave ) 

1. Type:
2. Is it used in NZ ?
3. Other Countries that use it?
4. How is it used to generate electricity?
5. Draw and label a diagram of the main parts of the electricity generator? This can be done on paper and uploaded or on a drawing program on your device. I do not want any Internet images or pictures. They must be hand drawn using a ruler and labelled.

Section 4: Renewable Energy in the future.

List 10 ways that renewable energy will be used in the future to replace our current activities.
