Dear 6E,

Below are some interesting weblinks related to the science topic of "Impact on the Environment". Use the websites wisely to help you in your revision for the test next week. The study of Science is more than just memorising of facts.

environment

The title of this video is “melt – a teenager’s view to global warming. Highly interesting and very relevant to this chapter on Impact on the Environment.

I think this video is very useful to us as it tells us what had happened to our Earth,what did we done that cause pollution and what we can do to prevent it.I know its true that the sea level is rising because of global warming.I did not know that the rising of the sea level cause the hurricanes to be more dangerous.What I can help is not to litter the floor or water and recycle those recycleble materials like paper,plastic,glass and many more.

I think the video is very good enough for people who likes to pollute the air.The video told us how to prevent polluting.To prevent polluting, is to recycle and use public transpot instead of cars.

I think the video is very helpful to the people as we can learn our impact on the environment.I also learn what we could do as a nation to prevent Global Warming and other pollutions.We should encourage people to use the public transport instead of cars to prevent the thinning of the Ozone layer and air pollution.We should never dirty our ENVIRONMENT!!!!We should try to conserve it as we have done enough damage to it.

I think that this video is quite useful.People who like to pollute our enviroment will have a different view and will change their usual life to a unpolluted one.Therefore, this will encourage people of all kinds to not pollute the air and often use public transport which will reduce in the chances of polluting the air. This will definitely help the environment.

I think this video is very educational. It tells us how we are pollutingthe earth and different way to do less pollution. i also think the video is alittle contradicting as she says that driving a car is polluting the earth, so why does her family have one? She says that taking a plane is polluting the earth, so why is she going on a holiday?

i think the video is helpful other people who see this clip and can learn that how we could do to protect the enviroment.it's true because the water level in the sea is increasing rapily.I also encourage people not to use transport that give out gas and to use bikes.This will help the environment.

I think that this clip is helpful as it teaches people to protect the Earth. We can take public transport or ride our own bicycles instead of driving our own cars as i would pollute the air more.

This video is really good and educational. I can't believe a 14 years old teenage girl made this video clip! i learnt a lot about global warming and the dangers of it. Everyone has an important role to play.we should recycle objects that could be recycled and encourage other people to do the same and protect the little left of Earth's natural resources. i also heard that there is a leak in the atmosphere and sooner or later, it won't be a surprise if the atmosphere completely disappear one day. isn't that horrible?? Recently in dubai, the temperature was about 40 degree celsius and above. and some people go to work with winter clothes and thick clothing because the air-conditioning at their work place is very very very cold.... and this is singapore. hence we should do our part in protecting mother earth.

I think that this video is very good as it teaches us how to protect the earth.I can do my part by not littering and walk more than to take public transport like MRT train and buses.After I watch this video,I will tell my family not to take public transport too often and walk or cycle more.

This video clip is really nice, interesting and en ducational. I can't believe a 14 year old teenage girl made this video! (I heard from my friend's dad that America is the cause of one fifth of the pollution on Earth now and Americans are denying it so I'm pretty surprised that an American girl made this video. I guess my friend's dad is wrong about Americans being ignorant and selfish. Some are in fact quite concerned about global warming) It made me realise that eveyone has an important part to play in protecting the beautiful Earth. What I can do is actually to recycle objects which are able to be recycled and encourage others to do the same thing. I heard that scientists believe that in each passing year the atmosphere is growing thinner and thinner and they suspect that there is a leak in the atmosphere hence causing more harmful UV rays from the Sun to affect us. The scientists also believed that by this rate, it will not be a surprise if one day, the atmosphere will completely disappear. In Europe and some countries in the world, when winter came last year, there was no snow fall. Isn't that horrible? I cannot even bear to imagine the future if this goes on. Hence we should do our best in protecting our environment and the little left of Earth's environment.

WoW. it was a great clip. i really enjoyed it.i actually learn a lot of stuff from the video.the things i learn: 1) Americans are the WORST POLLUTERS as their cars pump over 1.4 BILLION TONS carbon dioxide into the air each year!2) over the next 100 years, the sea levels are predicted to rise between 1 metre and 6 metres!3)Scientist said that the hurricanws have double for the last 35 years!4)AEROPLANES fumes are nearly 3 TIMES more CAR fumes!5) global warming makes hurricans stronger and dangerous!6)a row of 20 solar panels uses the sun's energy to heat water! Quite shocking is it. I really hope that the whole earth could watch the video and protect the earth's ozone layer and WAKE UP as the weather in Singapore is increasing.Everyone in the world should join forces to save the earth(which is kind of impossible)
