Key Concepts

My group has choen 3 main key concepts for our Exhibition.
The first and the second key concepts are Perspective and Causation while the third one is connection.

Perspective
We chose perspective because we want to know whether people realise the affects of Co2 and we also want to know whether they care for Co2 or they don't.
Causation
My other key concept causation is chosen becuase we want to know the basic information of CO2. We want to know where does it come from, how is it produced, and what produces it. We are focusing on Human activities that causes CO2 like from factories, deforestation, and pollution.
Connection
We want to know about how does CO2 affect where we live. How human activities produce Co2, and what is the connection between modern technology that is developed by humans produce Co2.

We(my group) hope that with these three key concepts we might be able to know more about Carbon Dioxide.

How Co2 affect where we live (1st eLearning Hw)

The effect of Carbon Dioxide (Co2) to our home varies. The main effect of Carbon Dioxide would probably be Global warming. Global Warming is produces is called the Greenhouse affect. The greenhouse affects only works if there is a greenhouse gas. This gas is Carbon Dioxide. One of the Carbon Dioxide producers are human themselves. They burn oil, gas and coal for car fuel, factory products, and others. Now the greenhouse gas helping us to keep us warm when it is in a secured level. But now, people have produced more and more gases that allow the earth to heat up in an unsecured level. The heat could melt the ice in the North and South Pole. The melted ice become water and adds itself to the sea water. There would be massive water level rising. The water levels rising produce floods and landslides that could affect where we live. Mosquitoes that carry malaria and dengue fever that are attracted to the floods could give people several diseases causing them to move from where they live. Especially that we are living in Indonesia where there are lots of mosquitoes. People could also be affected by the increase of heat. Carbon dioxide is not toxic so it doesn't melt or destroys our houses. But if it is inhaled too much, we could die.

Welcome

Welcome to my blogspot! Relating to my UOI (Unit Of Inquiry) lessons at school, this blog is where I post the information, data, and others related to my group topic, Carbon Dioxide. I am in a team consists of 4 people which are me, Priscilla, Jason, and Alto. Please also visit their blogs to find out different information about my topic. With the help of our mentor, Mrs. Jane and Ibu Maytha, we are in the stages of facing the Grade 6 exhibition. The exhibition is the highest project in our school learning system. With this blog, we are slowly developing ourselves throught the stages of the Grade 6 exhibition. So, enjoy and learn!

My Exhibition

In the Grade 6 exhibition, we are learning about the local environment around us. Our theme for this is Sharing the Planet. Our title is It's our world, we're responsible for it. The central idea for this UOI is We are responsible for determining causes of changes in our natural environment. The inquiry into is the information that we want to know. It is usually made up by the teachers, but specially for this UOI exhibition, we decided our own inquiry into which are:

• How Co2 affects where we live
• How human activities changes the CO2 level.

By the way, my group, the Co2 gladiators (coming from the insiring members) have decided to focus on Co2 beecause we think it plays a very important role in air pollution which is now a very important issue. Our group slogan is 'I just wanna live' which sybolizes that we want to fight Co2 in order to stay alive.
