Today in class we did a postbox activity. There were 9 questions we had to answer to find out what we know about energy already as a class. Below are photo's of the results summaries and comments from Mrs Booker.

**Question 1 : Write down any words you think relate to Global Warming **
The answers to this question were summarised by Carianne and Sophie. They worked together really well, completing their presentation with time to spare. It shows the most common answers and how many students wrote down each answer. It visually gets the ideas across effectively. Well done. Here is their presentation.

Question 2: Why is the sun so important? (and how is it dangerous?)
The answers to this question were summarised by Yvonne and Kaitlyn. They also worked together really well, and just need to add the question title or suitable heading. Here is their presentation.



Question 3: What is the “energy crisis”?
This question was summarised by Travis, Leovai and Ziggy. Leovai had to miss some of this class, and Travis ran an errand for Ms Booker so they didn't get as far along as they should have. On the back of their presentation they have noted the key answers and will add these next time (when they have 10 minutes to finish off). Here is their presentation. I will add an updated photo when it is completed.

**Question 4: What is energy? Can you think of other words (synonyms) that mean th​e same thing as energy?**
, The answers to this question were summarised by Jesse, Sheldyn and Jamie. Sheldyn did the heading and Jamie collated the answers and draw a draft of the graph he was going to draw. Jamie did ???? Jesse has taken this home to finish, I will post a photo when it is complete.

**Question 5: What sources of energy are renewable? (Renewable means they that wont run out) **
The answers to this question were summarised by Florida and Jasmine. Jasmine had to leave during the period so the presentation was completed by Florida. She did a great job, completing and draft and final presentation. She just has to add a couple of labels to her final graph. Florida also helped another group sort their answers. Excellent collaboration! Here is her presentation.

**Question 6: What does the term ‘carbon credits’ mean? Write down any ideas you have…**
​The answers to this question were summarised by Stacey, Micheala and Tara. They quickly summarised the answers constructing a tally of common themes. They presented this in a graph as shown. They just need to add some colour to make the presentation easier to read.

**Question 7: What ways can energy be measured? **
The answers to this question were summarised by Ana and Charntal. They produced a colourful summary that is very easy to understand. Great presentation. 

**Question 8: What technologies and tools can scientists use to collect evidence?**
The answers to this question were summarised by Varani, Krishneil and Isaac. Varani did most of the presentation but this was done with input from the others. They illustrated each answer, making is easy to see at a glance, the key ideas. Excellent work.

Question 9: What are all the problems caused by the BP oil rig explosion that happened recently?
​ This answers to this question were summarised by Vikas and Dominic. They spent a lot of time on the heading and didn't follow instructions to plan what went under the heading. However, they jotted some notes down on the back of the presentation and so should be able to qucikly finish this next time. Here is their work in progress.
