Coral Reef Adventure

In class yesterday afternoon, we watched a movie called Coral Reef Adventure. This film was about Coral Reefs, how we are affecting them and how other things are affecting them. This film was about two people who have explored lots of Coral Reefs and has also done a couple of test.

Here are some questions we had to answer:

What is a Coral Reef?

Where are Coral Reefs found?

Are Coral Reefs in danger?

What is harming the Coral Reefs?

What can we do to prevent the destruction of Coral Reefs?

How are Coral Reefs beneficial to the living organisms on earth?

A Coral Reef is a living animal.Coral Reefs are found in the oceans.It really depends on where you are at.Coral Reefs are in danger.The things that are affecting the Coral Reefs are Ocean Warming, Over Fishing and also Saltations.Saltation is when the water gets dirty from pollution.Ocean Warming is when the ocean gets hotter then what its supposed to.Over fishing is when fishermen take out to much of the fish population, which affects Coral Reefs.What we can do to prevent destruction fro Coral Reefs are that we can spread awareness about how Coral Reefs help us as human beings.Also on how it helps the other animals in the oceans.Coral Reefs are beneficial to us because some of them are used to get tested and if well tested they make our medicine out of them.What we can do to help out the Coral Reefs is to raise awareness about them.Raise awareness about ho they help us and other animals in the ocean.

Planet Earth:

The Future of Saving Species

Today in Globaloria we watched a video on the Planet Earth and how humans and other things are affecting animals and there habitats. I took a lot of notes on this video. One of my notes was that the worlds wilderness is in danger. Most of these problems are because of human beings. the human beings are pouching which is killing animals for the animals body parts. Humanity is the cause for some of these problems.Most of these problems that we are causing will affect us as well as the animals. The animals that are losing there habitats are polar bears,elephants and leopards. All of these animals are endangered animals. There are lots of other animal's are endangered. Most of the animals on ground are forced to go up onto mountains because of poaching. Poaching is killing animals for human needs.We need to to help out these animals. It will also affect the human race.

Social Issue Topics

The two topics that I am most interested in are global warming and my other topic is teen pregnancy.

http://worldlife.org/site/pageserver/pagename=can_actions_world :I chose this topic because of the disastrous things that global warming is causing.Global warming is causing the polar ice caps to melt which is not helping the polar bears that live there.Also they will make the polar bears go extinct because they can not find ice to rest so they have to swim.It is also hurting other animals everywhere because of the heat and coldness.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/teen_pregnancy_pact#Teen_pregnancy_controversy: The next topic that I chose was the teen pregnancy.THe reason I chose teen pregnancy is because there are ltos of teen mothers.Also because if students get pregnant they might drop out of school and that will affect there future.

I will begin researching different found on this directory to help me come up with more game ideas.

1. http://www.care.org/Look under the topic of news. I chose this topic because a lot of girls and women are getting treated like nothing.That's not the right way to do that.everyone should get equal treatment.
2. www.childhelpusa.org/ : Here is the link to the story that I read that I decided to write about. I chose this as my second topic because like it says in this story there isn't as much awareness of child abuse that there should be.There are lots of children out there that are getting abused and they don't know where to go, because nobody knows about it.
3. http://www.kidsturncentral.com/: I chose this website on this topic because there are lots of kids in school that are getting bullied and don't know what to do.They don't know what to do because they're afraid.
4. http://www.worllife.org/site/pageserver?pagname=can_actions_world: I chose this website because it is a big social issue that is mostly caused by human beings.This social issue is called global warming.It is a social issue because there are lots of animals that are dieing because there habitat is also dieing and that is because of global warming.

Wiki Social issue Topics

1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/recycleing: I chose this topic because this topic is a big deal.Some people thing that recycling is dumb, but its not!People need to see that if we don't change our ways it will turn out UGLY.
2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_pacific_Garbage_patch: I chose this topic also because it has something to do with the enviorment.All of the plastic trash bags that we use go to the garbage patch.That is not good fo ourselves and also the pacific sea animals.
3. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/teen_pregnancy_pact#Teen_pregnancy_controversy: I chose this topic because this is a big issue that affects students lives and future.It affects them because they might or might not drop out of high school.Also if they drop out of high school they cant go to college.

This is a technology picture, I think that it is the cords that you connect the computer to. I really like this picture because not only is it a cool technology picture (and my favorite color).It also inspires me to work hard on the globaloria game that we will be making this year in this technology class.It's a really cool picture, that I think should inspire more people to focus more on technology. I think that people should appriciate the people that make technology because without it there would be no cell phones,computers or anything.
