Climate Change: Our Biggest Challenge.

Task Description:
For this task we had to answer the questions on each slide, and respond to each text as well.

Extreme Weather

Hard Materials at Tech!

This is the new group that I am in for tech! It is called (as you may know from the title,) Hard Materials. In hard Materials, I am making a Jeep. Here is the reason why. I chose to make a Jeep for my Sister. This is the best choice because out of all the choices I had, the Jeep stood out to me. It will be used however my Sister wants it to be used, in my home. I might need to consider making it stable, to make sure that it can't fall over if it's on a high table or maybe something tall.

Book Review: Frozen Foods

                          Book Review: Frozen Foods

This Book (as you might know by the many tittle’s) is called Frozen Foods,
a book by Philippa Werry (as you also might know..) But anyways, this book
is about a place called Scott Base.

Scott Base is located in Antarctica. It is a place where you can go to, to
work, and live. Through Summer, and Winter, there are two different chefs.
The Summer Chef, and the Winter chef. The name of the most recent
Winter chef, is Donna Wightman.

At Scott Base, it sounds like they eat the same kinda food that we might
eat at home, or even better! In the book it says that they might never run
out of food, because there’s at least two years’ supply of extra food! The
way that they get is, so the chef orders some food from New Zealand,
some people from New Zealand come over with food such as, canned
goods, frozen meats, fish, seafood, and dry goods like sugar and flour.

There at Scott Base, even though it’s freezing outside, maybe even
freezing enough to keep food supplies cold, well, at Scott Base, in
Antarctica, they still need Freezers. So at Scott Base they have Fridges,
Walk in freezers, and some more freezers for food like frozen meats, fish,
seafood, and ice cream.

Over all, I think that this Book/story is very great, and it’s good to read it if you want to find out more information about Scott Base! This story is also good to read, because it informs you of what it’s like to live/work at Scott Base. I give this story 4 out of 5 stars. If you have made it up to here, then please feel free to leave a comment!
