Sustainability Hurumanu - Research on Giant Pandas

For the last like 4 weeks in Hurumanu 1 we have been writing our essays about sustainability, the research Ive been researching about Giant Pandas going extinct. In essays you should have an introduction, 3 paragraphs and a conclusion. First I researched what are the causes, effects and solutions on how to make Giant Pandas not extinct. Then I put that information into a google slide to make your structure to make it easier to make your essay.

Here is my slideshow:




Then we had to write our essay into our own words and here it is.

Introduction:

Endangered animals are important because they are dying and getting killed of deforestation and habitat destruction.

Causes of Giant Pandas becoming extinct: 

Pandas population have been lowered because of habitat destruction. Pandas habitats get taken over by development which means it is pushing pandas into smaller and liveable places. Habitat destruction can also means there is not much food which means their won’t be much food for them to eat. Pandas eat many types of bamboo that bloom at different times of the year. If one type of bamboo is destroyed by development from people which means it can leave the pandas with nothing to have or eat. It can make a risk of starvation for the giant pandas. People go hunting for giant pandas for their fur to make clothes and other things. 

Effects on Giant Pandas going extinct:

Giant pandas die because of all sorts of things, one of them is deforestation and that is because it destroys and takes away the bamboo so then they cannot eat and they will die from starvation. Giant pandas also die because people destroy their habitat by taking all of the bamboo so then they have a livable home to live in. If they don’t have anything to eat and somewhere to live then they will die and become extinct.

How can we stop this:

Giant Pandas have lost their habitats because of deforestation and deforestation destroyed and took away bamboo so then the giant pandas couldn't eat and could die from starvation. But some government’s has worked to restore and protect pandas bamboo habitats and it has shown positive and good results. People can donate and restore bamboo for the pandas so they can live.

Sustainability Hurumanu 1 - Semesta 2

For the last 6 weeks in Sustainability we have been learning about sustainability. For the first week in Sustainability we watched a couple of documentary's on Netflix about Covid 19 because this was the first week back from Coronavirus, I didn't watch much because I fell asleep. After we finished watching them documentary's it was period 4 so we didn't have time to do anything else. The 2nd week of Sustainability we have been learning about statistical inquiry and what that means is that the statistical inquiry cycle helps you to get data. For that week we made a storie and we made that storie into a graph chart, I chose to do a pie graph because it was the easiest one to do. My pie chart was about console games and so we wrote games down and went around asking people what one they wanted to chose. The highest console game picked was call of duty. The 3rd week we were learning about natural resources and sustainability. What we did was we went through the google slide with activitys that we had to do and then we had to sort out what the meaning of sustainability resources are because they were scrambled. The 4th week we watched a few videos of this guy talking about writing and the joy of writing. The 5th week we were looking at writing and research on sustainability issues. First we were looking at 12 ways on how to start a sentence for writing and we were also looking at 8 ways of handy paragraphs. Then we were using the paragraph card structure to record our research on sustainability issues and we went to the library to look at different forms of information. Then in week 6 we were looking at area, population and calculations. So what we did was we learnt some core mathematical skills to apply our understanding of sustainability.

 Reflection on my learning.

What did you take away from this course?

I took away on how to start a sentence for a paragraphs and I also learnt how to record research with the paragraph card structure.

What did you enjoy?

What I enjoyed was making the graph with the information, I also enjoyed listening to music and eating while doing our work as long as we get the work done.

What suggestions for change do you have?

To learn more about maths because I am quiet bad at it.

Here is some of the work that I have completed.
