In the first term we researched about the four spheres and 4 key words which was acid rain, eutrophication, ocean acidification and global warming. The four spheres are the biosphere which is all things living, the hydrosphere which is the water and marine life, geosphere which is the land and atmosphere which is the air. Acid rain is when sulfur goes through a process which turns it to sulfur dioxide then to sulfur trioxide which then mixes with water and comes down as rain. We also did this thing called PIGSF which is an acronym for Positive Interdependence and a few other words i dont remember. We finished our assessment on the last day and I passed with excellence.

Last term, we learned about the four spheres of Earth and how environmental issues like acid rain, eutrophication, global warming, and ocean acidification affect them. We also looked at how these problems start and ways we can reduce their impact on the four spheres.

During the unit, we worked in groups to share what we learned each day. After that, more confident students moved between groups to teach and discuss one of the environmental issues. By the end of all this learning and collaboration, I was able to achieve a Merit.

Last term we learned about the 4 spheres and things that can impact it like acid rain eutrophication global warming and ocean acidification can affect them we also learned about how they can start and how to reduce them from happening

the time that we have being learning we got into groups to shared what we did and 1 to 2 people move from each group and one stays back and shows what they did that day and the other 1 and goes and goes and find out what other groups did that day

In Physics I learnt about all the spheres like geosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere, I also learnt how acid rain starts and how it is formed. We also learnt more about eutrophication, ocean acidificaction, deforestation, PIGSF, Global warming and climate change. We also did sci-pad online about deforestation, fossil fuels and mining.

For Physics we have been working on the 4 spheres(Hydrosphere, Atmosphere, Geosphere, and biosphere) as well as Mining, Fossil fuels, and deforestation as well. even when learning about the key topics, of this unit (Acid Rain, Global Warming, Ocean Acidification, and Eutrophication) these were all the topics we needed to write about in our assessment about Deforestation and whats its impacts were.

I picked about how deforestation is creating space for building roads and other infrastructures, and how it’s causing multiple problems for the environment, and what problems its impacting on our ecosystem and spheres.

some of the problems with deforestation is its damaging the Earth’s atmosphere and harming the plant life and living anatomy. as well as making the oxygen toxic for breathing in, making it harmful for any kind of living anatomy or organisms. and causing the water to become toxic to digest.

we were working towards. Excellence, Achieved or Merit.

My Grade:Merit

Our assessment for this term was focused on the Earth side of physics, remember, it’s physics earth space science.  We had to look at a human induced change in the environment.  Our one was deforestation and we learnt about it and all of the impacts that it has on the environment.  We learnt that not only deforestation is bad but it can cause many other things like acid rain and global warming which also have their fair share of implications on the environment around us. I am writing this part before I get my grade but I think Mr Prakash has prepared us very well for our assessment and I feel I have done very well.  I cannot wait until next term where I have got my grades on all the other assessments I have  done this term.   Update: Hi welcome to term 2.  The results have come through and I got an: Excellence.  I’m very happy about this.  It is the first of the credits I need to get an endorsement with excellence which is my goal for this year.   Prior to this I was rather nervous about the results over the holidays but I am excited that I got this grade.
