Rubish In Schools


This is a common problem that schools have to face virtually everyday!

Students should take home their rubbish daily because some students are throwing their rubbish on the ground. If students start taking their rubbish home each day, schools would be much cleaner. Have you ever seen grey clouds when there was no rain?

That is a sign of pollution from people throwing their rubbish on the ground instead of in the bin. If students take their rubbish home more often they will be more likely to throw it in the bin at their house. Sometimes birds scramble around in the bins causing rubbish to fall out, but not only do they pull rubbish out of the bins, but they leave their droppings everywhere spreading germs around the schools. And other times the bin is too small to fit all the rubbish in it and it starts to overflow.
If students don't start taking their rubbish home, the school rubbish bin could end up looking like this.    
If you throw your rubbish on the ground at school, you’re being inconsiderate  to the caretaker who has to clean up your mess every day. This also could attract rats or possums which

carry diseases like rabies and tuberculosis, would YOU want your child to catch one of these deadly diseases? We must do something about this problem in schools. If we don't make a change NOW, schools could start to look like a dump.

Social Science


People with addictions might need help and support and won't be able to help themselves, or people who need financial help or shelter.
Organisations like caritas can help donate money to people needing financial help or help provide shelter and food. Caritas also helps third world countries, donating money for them to buy food and clothes.

Science


Hypothesis: Our hypothesis was that when the carbonates were mixed with acid it would cause them to fizz, bubble or dissolve.

First we mixed the raro and the vinegar, there was a fizzing reaction and after the fizzing stopped the raro dissolved in the acid.

When we mixed the chalk with the vinegar it started to create a crackling noise and then began to form a thick clumpy  substance.

Third the tartaric acid was mixed with the lemon juice there was a fizzing reaction and then the tartaric acid began to dissolve.

When the tartaric acid was mixed with the vinegar the reaction was the same as when it was mixed with the lemon juice.

When the baking soda was mixed with the vinegar the mixture started to bubble and rise, then after a few seconds the mixture started to go down and dissolve.

We also noticed there was a change in the colour and smell after the carbonate was mixed with the acid.
