Earth Worms

Today In Tech We Learnt facts about worm and what type of species.

 Here are some facts about earthworms 

• Most Earthworms are found in soil

• Earthworms let air into the soil   

• There are 27 types of worms 

• Earthworms break down all the organic rubbish and release all those nutrients back into the soil to be used again by plants.

• The line on earthwarms are called stripes

• People call earthworms tigers because of the lines

• Earthworms give the soil oxygen

• Emma used mustard powder and water and tipped it all over the soil, All earthworms were irritated so they came out

• Worm are invertebrates

• There are 5,500 known species of worms

• Colors of worms are reddish brown colour, with a pointed posterior (back end) and anterior (front end)

• Earthworms have no lungs

 PLASTICS FACTS

Arrange them as Positive use of Plastics, Negative use of Plastics and Neutral.

1. Plastics are produced from by-products of crude oil. Because of this, they can be broken back down again into a usable product.

2. The first synthetic plastic was made in 1907 by a Belgian named Leo Baekeland. He invented bakelite in a lab in New York. Bakelite was known as ‘the material of 1,000 uses’. It has been used to make phones, radios, jewellery, chess sets and so much more.

3. Plastic is lightweight, strong and easy to create. It has been used in endless ways...and it’s so cheap to make and buy. Other more expensive natural materials, such as wood, metals, silks and animal skin have been replaced by plastics.

4. The durability and long-lasting life of plastics are the things that cause problems in the environment. It will take decades....centuries before plastics that are now on earth begin to break down.

5. Biodegradable refers to the ability of materials to break down and return to nature. For packaging products or materials to qualify as biodegradable, they must completely break down and decompose into natural elements. The decomposing process must take a short time after disposal – typically a year or less.Positive

6. Many marine animals mistake some types of plastic for food and eat them. Turtles often die because the plastic they eat blocks their digestive system, so they starve. Marine mammals (like dolphins) often get trapped by plastic nets or ropes and either drown or starve to death.Negative

7. Since the 1950s, one billion tons of plastic has been thrown away around the world. Micro-plastics – minute particles of plastic have been found in the deepest oceans we can explore, on the highest mountains we can climb, and in the most remote areas of the world.Negative

8. Since the 1950s, one billion tons of plastic has been thrown away around the world. Micro-plastics – minute particles of plastic have been found in the deepest oceans we can explore, on the highest mountains we can climb, and in the most remote areas of the world.

9. Some plastic products are highly flammable – for example: polystyrene, acrylics, polyethylene and nylons commonly used in packaging, home and office appliances. This makes them a fire hazard.

10. Plastics generally have a short life compared to metals. This short life cycle results in pile-ups of unwanted garbage in the homes, streets, towns, villages, waterways and waste yards. In some cities in the world creek and river waters don’t flow because of the plastics build up.

11. Polythene bags – the ones given out or sold in shops and used for some packaging, are easily carried by wind, something that makes them almost impossible to collect for recycling.

12. Sea creatures, like worms, molluscs and crustaceans, are at the bottom of the food chain – that is, are eaten by other larger animals. They often end up ingesting microplastics ... which then pass up the food chain. Other animals, and humans, end up with microplastics in their bodies....and get sick or die.

13. Great and rare sea birds like albatrosses get tangled up in old fishing gear and die. Around 400,000 marine mammals die every year due to plastic pollution in oceans.

14. A big source of microplastics is waste water from washing machines. Washing synthetic clothes in rivers and lakes does the same thing.

      Biodegradable means substance or object being decomposed.

One Mysterious Morning I woke up to a strange noise in the basement so I thought it was my dad until I realized that my dad works at 7:00am and it was 7:30am I usually get to school by 8:00am so then I felt weird and grabbed my Baseball bat and grabbed my headlight and went down as soon as I opened the door to my basement I saw creatures taking things from our basement into a green looking portal when they were not looking I peeked my head through the portal I saw more creatures that looked like houses and trees that were moving.When I looked back I saw one of the creatures push me in thinking I was a object to use but when I fell everyone froze thinking nothing happened but once I stood up they starting moving again so I jumped back Through the portal and I quickly Ran upstairs to get ready and ran out the door. When I got to school my friend waits for me at the school gate but I was late for class so I ran 2 minutes to get to class and I got detention for being late to class.After I got Home from detention My parents were waiting outside crying until I asked them what had happened and they said that someone broke into our house and stole everything so I went inside and saw that everything was gone like the first day we moved in  it was like my heart dropped so I went back to what happened this morning so I was thinking that the creatures might have token it so I went to the basement and I saw those creatures that pushed me into the portal so I told them that the stuff they took belongs to us so they understood and told their friends to give their things back so they did. They also changed timer back to before my parents got home and they were mad about me getting detention.
