Yachting Safety Rules Poster.

This is a poster that Marcus and I made for optimist yachting. It shows some safety rules for going out in a yacht. On Monday the 15th our class will be going yachting at Pandora Pond.

Figure of 8 knot!

        How to make a figure of 8 knot.

This is a very useful knot to know how to tie. It is easier to untie than other knots when they are wet.

Step one. Form a loop in the rope

Step two. Twist the middle of the loop.

Step three. Take the end of the rope on the right and put it through the top hole.

Step four. Pull the two ends and you are done!

If you have done this knot correctly it will look like a figure of 8.

Space Explanation!

How does the Sun Affect Earth?

Introduction

Have you ever wondered how the sun affects earth? Well in this explanation you will find the answer to that and maybe some other facts. We take the sun for granted and find out why by reading this.

Plants and animals

Plants need sunlight to grow. They also need the water cycle to grow. The sun is related to the water cycle because it plays the part of evaporation. The water cycle makes the rain plants need and the sun provides the sunlight for them. The plants that are grown are sometimes given to animals and humans. It helps us survive.

Heat and light

Do you know how hot the sun is? It is 15,000,000 Celsius at the core and 5,600 Celsius on the surface. The sun gives us heat even though it is 93 miles away. It takes eight minutes for the suns light reach our planet. The sun is so bright that if you look at it with no protection for more than 3 seconds it will cause permanent eye damage.

Day and night

Without the sun, it would always be night. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Or so we think it rises and sets. The earth is spinning all the time. It takes 24 hours for the sun to complete 1 rotation. The sun stays where it is and we spin. That's what makes the sun rise and set. It is also why we have day and night.

Is the sun a star?

Yes it is. It is one of the many stars in the sky. The sun is actually a medium sized star. The other stars are very very big. They don’t seem big to us because they are quite far away. It is possible that there are other solar systems in space besides our one.

Conclusion

Well, as you can see, the sun affects earth in many ways. Without the sun we would not be living.

Water Cycle Explanation.

          The water cycle!

Water is all over the earth. It is the life source of every living thing on the planet. If we didn’t have the water cycle we wouldn’t be able to survive.   

Water can be lots of different things. It can come as vapour, ice, snow or liquid. The water cycle has 4 steps.

                     

                      Evaporation.

The sun heats water from the sea and it turns into vapour.Then it rises into the air. For example, say I spilt some water on the ground out side. Then I left it for a while. By the end of the day the water will be gone. That’s because it has turned into vapour and risen into the air.

                    Condensation.

As water vapour rises into the air, it starts to cool, turning back into a liquid. Then it condenses into clouds. Example: if you left a glass of cold water on the table and then went out for a walk, when you came back,the glass would be wet on the out side! The water hasn't leaked through the glass. When the warm air hits the cold glass, it turns back into liquid.The same thing happens in the air.

                     Precipitation.

When the clouds are too heavy with water vapour, it rains. Precipitation can come in the form of rain, hail, sleet or snow. The reason it can be hail or snow is because the higher the vapour goes the colder the air gets. This freezes the vapour and it makes hail or snow. The gravity from the earth pulls the water down. Its just like a bucket of water tipping over!

                         

                         Run off.

When water lands back on earth, it will either soak into the ground and become groundwater or it will run across land back into lakes or oceans where the cycle starts all over again.

                      Conclusion.

The water cycle is a continuous process that is happening anywhere, anytime. Without it no life would exist on our planet.

HEARING SAFTEY

This is my poster about hearing. I was inspired to write this when a lady came to our school to talk to us about looking after our ears.
