According to Karen Webb, temporary Prime Minister of Canada, a group of grade sevens will be going to an unknown planet that has never been inhabited by humans before. Their goal is to survive. The only things they know are, the climate is steady and similar to California's climate, the planet has oxygen, and they will travel via space ship. The grade seven's got to take three things of a list of thirty-two things to take with them. This essay will prove to you that taking water, young trees, and knives will be the best choice to take with them to this unknown planet. Water is the number one thing needed to survive other than air (which the planet already has). Water is under the four main things needed to survive which are food, water, air, and shelter. All animals and plants need water and that includes us. The basic rule of thumb is no one can survive three days without water. Therefore, without water the grade sevens would die in just a few days making it's extremely important. One of the other things the grade seven's should take is some young trees. Young trees are highly use...
When deciding on what to pack for your ever adventurous journey can be very overwhelming. Space is limited and so is the amount of weight that you can physically carry so how do you choose what to take. Many suggest that a basic survival kit be assembled before setting out. This kit would include, but not be limited to matches, fire starters, fishing line, a tiny compass, and water purification tablets. Stephen Regenold. "Survival Gear: 10 Items to
Changes are constantly happening all around us all the time. What exactly is cgange something that may become different somehow compared to what it is at present or what it was in the past. This topic is very advanced for this age group but its important that they get some kind of knolegs about in this area So I have chosen 3 topics to go over helping them understand why things change and how they change. The first Iwe shall cover is Weather. Why exactly does it change? Discuss with them their opinion. give your students the opportunity to go outside and exams the temperatures and how the
Traveling over 8,000 miles on foot and by boat/canoe in under two and one half years at the American tax payers cost of $40,000 (nps.gov), Lewis and Clark went where no one else wanted to go. These two men, along with their crew (only one of whom died on their journey), discovered not only a new sea and new land, but countless flora and fauna along the way. While these men were not the first to set foot on all of the land the crossed and they did not uphold the best morals, one must admire and recognize their strength and courage to backpack across “unknown” land.
through the seventh grade is more of a challenge than any of them had expected. It starts
They will realize that they can be as compassionate and caring as the Lorax. They will also realize that the story is deeper than it may seem, and they will gain a deeper understanding of the story as they read. Instructions: Create a list of how you (the student) will vow to protect the environment on a worksheet. Their answers will be published on a bulletin board in the classroom unless asked not to. Steps: 1.
There is one hundred and eighty days of school and seven hours in each day. Out of the whole year, one day is dictated to the environment and talked about for five hours. On this day, every teacher makes sure that they have their shiny blue and green buckets out right next to the door that they have set out themselves a few days before this special day. That way when the environmentalist comes to visit and starts to show pictures of the recycling bins, no one starts acting clueless. These very important people start explaining the reason for choosing this particular school to give a very important speech about saving earth as well including that prizes will be passed out if all questions are answered correctly at the end. But only to find out
Water can be positive or negative, helpful or unhelpful, or even mean the difference between life and death. For example, Akeer gets sick from drinking the water that Nya carries from the pond everyday. Nya and her family then have to walk to a medical tent to save Akeer from disease. Walking is good for them because it enables them to save Akeer from a potentially deadly disease. On the other hand,
A Handbook for Kids by Gail Gibbons is non-fictional reading material that would interest second and third graders because of the extensive use of pictures and activities that kids can relate to and understand. Foreshadowing is a literary device that Gail Gibbons used extensively in this book to give hints to the readers about the events that would occur later in the story. It is an effective tool for creating suspense in the minds of the readers and used to generate implicit ideas from them. In this context, the literary device helped the audience to under the curiosity of the author about the things that would happen to the environment if people do not change their attitude towards the planet (Gibbons, 1992). Symbolism is the second literary device that the author used for making the objects and items to represent ideas and beliefs about recycling. It is an effective tool for adding deep meaning to the stories in the book, especially when they are repeatedly used by the writer to express other ideas aside from the primary ones. In this book, the use of bats, sun, and houses were methods to help the audience the impact of human activities on other components of the
The Pre-K and Kindergarten class studied habitats of various animals and insects. They were given examples and tough how the animals made their homes. The students built a bird house as their project and as something to take home to remind them of what they learned. Finally they went on a field trip to Legoland where they explored and built “habitats” for their families and the Lego people. The first and second grade class learned about marine life and the ocean. They built shoe box dioramas of coral reefs and created art projects depicting sea life as well as learning new facts about the ocean. The students got to go to the Aquarium for their field trip. Finally the third and fourth graders studied the rain forests and their ecosystems. The students built rainforest models and terrariums along with small group discussions on different ideas human intervention and conservation. They finished their week at the zoo where they studied different rainforest inhabitants in

Water is the most vital part of life. Water is needed from humans, to plants and other organisms, and to do basically everything. Water allows our bodily functions to work and to remove waste from our bodies. Plants need water to grow, and humans need plants to gr...
Many systems for humans would not function without clean water, such as: water supply, sanitation, agriculture, and health, which are dependent on fresh water supply.
Water is an essential nutrient that our body requires every day. Without water human life cannot be sustained. Water deprivation kills faster than lack of any other nutrient. People do not think of water as a nutrient and don’t realize the important role of water in the body functions.
Also, when I was a counselor at the Ecotarium in Worcester Massachusetts, my fellow counselors and I tried to show the campers why preserving the environment is so important. We did this by showing them that the vast majority of our resources, including medicine, wood for houses, and food, come from nature. We showed them how fragile many animals are to changes in the environment. Part of Ecotarium is dedicated to rehabilitating and caring for animals that have been injured in the wild. The campers enjoyed working with the animals and began to realize that many of the causes for the displacement of these animals stemmed from the loss of their habitat due to human intrusion. I feel that incorporating the importance of environmental preservation at a young age is crucial because it well help to establish environmentally-friendly habits.
