    Kia ora...students. From this week we begin a new context titled The Earth Is Healing. Our planet has undergone serious changes due to  both human activities and natural disasters. However, during the Covid 19 pandemic, where billions of people were forced into lockdown, our planet began to show signs of growth and cleansing. We will discover what are some of the problems that have led to environmental destruction before the pandemic and examine how some of these problems are reducing on earthFurthermore, you will creatively and thoughtfully think of long term solutions to environmental protection that would benefit our future generations.

    Success Criteria: I can/have...

    • Watched the video and wrote a summary of what you watched.
    • brainstorm the meaning of Our Earth Is Healing
    • Discovered new vocabulary and definitions 
    • list  the various environmental problems found globally before covid 19
    •  created a poster : testing prior knowledge on pollution reduction
    • identified earth challenge app and log in data

    Activities:

    1. Watch this video and list your views: 
      "I don't think of a silver lining," Wade McGillis, an associate professor of earth and environmental ...
      Apr 6, 2020
    2. Document all your work on google docs: What does the Earth is healing mean to you. Write at least 3 ideas. eg: Our planet is experiencing less human activity and therefore less pollution is produced.
    3. Think of ten ideas/ words that link with the earth is healing.Here are a few: pollution levels have declined/ less human activity/ greener grass/ cleaner air/ ozone hole/ traffic congestion reduced/ greenhouse gases/ 
    4. Discover the meaning of the following words: environment/ greenhouse effect/ global warming/ pollution/ natural resources/ exploitation/sustainable resources/.
    5. Examine the picture below and write 3 ideas on problems that occurred before covid 19 and how theses are improving.covid

    4)Why do you think people are responsible for the earths destruction ie pollution and global warming/ List 3 reasons.

    5) Testing your prior knowledge: By referring to the  problems such as ocean pollution, land pollution and, air pollution in crowed cities, create a poster to showcase how litter can be reduced in your home, before it reaches the landfill. Think of sustainable packaging and using recycled materials.Use Canva.com.

    see this example: air

    6) Extension activity:refer to this link: 

    7 eco-friendly actions for kids during the pandemic | Earth Day

    and download the earth challenge app. Here you log in air quality or plastic pollution in you local area. I suggest yo use you home/ immediate neighbourhood to discover information. Plot a daily log to show how much plastic you have found  in your neighbourhood over a 5 day period.Discover if this is lessening in Alert 3, compared to Alert level 4 or increasing. Think of where the journey of a plastic bottle would go, if it does not reach a bin.
