-dreams

 Dreams 

Why can’t we remember our dreams?

We usually only remember the fact that we have had intense dreams when we wake. Only nightmares, or dreams of a particularly emotional nature, stick in our memories.

Why are some dreams coloured?

Scientific REM studies have proven that we tend to dream in colours but we do not always recall them. ... In our waking state, colours stimulate emotions. Similarly, colours also stimulate emotions in dreams. Scientific REM studies have proven that we tend to dream in colours but we do not always recall them.

Why do we have nightmares?

There can be a number of psychological triggers that cause nightmares in adults. For example, anxiety and depression can cause adult nightmares. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) also commonly causes people to experience chronic, recurrent nightmares. Nightmares in adults can be caused by certain sleep disorders.

How are dreams made?

Dreams mainly occur in the rapid-eye-movement (REM) stage of sleep—when brain activity is high and resembles that of being awake. REM sleep is revealed by continuous movements of the eyes during sleep. At times, dreams may occur during other stages of sleep.

   Flight

Questions:

Does the weight affect how good the plane flies

Research Summary:

To get a plane to actually fly and not have a falling object from the sky you’ll need four components: weight and lift, thrust and drag. 

Lift force upwards = weight force downwards (so the plane/bird stays at a constant height)

thrust force forwards = opposing force of drag (so the plane/bird stays at a constant speed). 

The force working against thrust is called drag. It is caused by air resistance and acts in the opposite direction to the motion. Thrust can overcome or counteract the force of drag. Planes and birds have to be able to provide enough lift force to oppose the weight force. Lift is a force that acts upwards against weight and is caused by the air moving over and under the wings.

Hypothesis:

I think that the plane that has more weight won’t fly very well because there is more drag.

Materials:

Paper

Tape measure

Procedure:

1. Get a piece of paper

2. Watch a video on how to make a plane

3. Get a tape measure 

4. Find a place to fly your plane

5. Fly your plane

6. Measure the distance

7. Write down how far it went

8. Repeat 3 times

Controlled variables	Independent variables	Dependent variables
size	weight	distance

 

Observations/Results:

Throws	1	2	3
1  paper clip	10.5 m	8.6 m	7.2 m
3 paper clips	5.8 m	5.6 m	5.2 m
5 paperclips	4.7 m	3.8 m	3.2 m

Discussion:

My experiment went well because the hypothesis was correct.

Term 1 - Essay Draft - Food Waste

Essay Draft - Food waste

When wasting food you don’t actually realise that you’re wasting all the difficult work that farmers put into making it, each year, as a country we spend over billions growing, transporting, and processing almost 70 million tons of food that ends up going to waste.

In fact, food is dumped at every point along the food chain: on farms and fishing boats, while the process and shipping, in retail stores, in restaurants and at home.

Food product in the US uses 15.7 per cent of the entire energy budget, 50 per cent of all land and 80 per cent of all the freshwater wasted. Yet 20 billion pounds of produce is lost on farms every year.

After food is disposed of in a landfill it rots and becomes a powerful source of methane, a potent greenhouse gas with 21 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide. 

It has been decided that if food waste was a country, it would be the third-highest emitter of greenhouse gases after the US and China, of course, individual households meaningly to blame for all of this waste.

Research shows that people who eat more than three times a week are more likely to waste food, we waste around 21 per cent of all food purchased.

We spend over $165 billion dollars a year on food and just draining it all down the drain, if we wasted just 15 per cent less food, it would be enough to feed 25 million Americans, what I’m trying to say is just don’t waste food. 

Almost 40% of our food goes uneaten in the U.S. Americans throw away $165 billion dollars in wasted food every year, according to Harvard Law School's Food Law and Policy Clinic and the Natural Resources Defense Council, or NRDC, a nonprofit environmental action group.

Term 1 - All about waste

Everyone wastes stuff, like food. There are kids that don't even get a single meal, over 800 million people go to bed hungry, we throw out our food without realising what we are doing. Almost every country spends over $220 billion dollars on growing, transporting and processing each year, nearly 70 million tons of food just end up going into the bin, all those people out there without getting fed, here we are just wasting it all.

When we are wasting food, we aren't just wasting the food we are wasting all the recourses that went into growing it, all that waste just ends up wasting approximately a quarter of our water supply from uneaten food or over $172 billion in wasted water. When growing our food and putting to waste it actually ends up using up 21% of our freshwater, 19% of our fertilizer, 18% of our cropland and 21% of the landfill volume. After the food is disposed of in a landfill it rots and becomes a source of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas with 21 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide.

If food is dropped or wasted, all the resources that been used to create it, even water, land and energy are also wasted, at the same time as the calories and nutrients they contain are wasted.
