My AquaVan reflection was cool because I was able to touch the sea creatures and the furs and that was SOOOO cool because love animals.

The people were really nice because they answered our questions with really helpful answers like
“Does it hurt when you touch a sea anemone?” and they replied with a really complicated answer but trust me, it was good 🙂

there is a picture of a sea anemone in the link down below:

My other favourite part was when we were able pet the Arctic foxes furs it was so soft:

We got to touch the back and it’s really cool and weird.

Should We Eat Seals?

I’m a bit confused because it’s part of some peoples food chain for people that live in Antartica.  These people can’t go to the grocery store to buy food so they hunt the seals.

I think for me I don’t want to eat seals,  because I’m thinking of how cute they are and it probably doesn’t taste good.  I also feel bad for the seals because some people do not care about killing these cute animal they only care about their food.

I think we should leave the seals alone and let them live because they could become extinct.

Should Seals Be Served In The Restaurant

I think that seals should not be served in restaurants because,they can get extinct.That can ruin the environment.The species that Granville Island is serving is the Harp seal.

 They feed on small shrimp and small fish such as herring, cod and cape line. If seals get extinct all of these sea animals will get too much.

Also not all species of seals are endangered, but for the many species that are endangered, there are a number of different causes, including hunting, climate change and natural disasters. The populations of many seal species have been steadily declining over the past several hundred years due to humans killing millions of them for their skin, meat and blubber.

The polar bears hunt the seals and if the seals get extinct and then they can’t find any food.

 

 

Reduce, reuse and recycle

Why do we reduce, reuse or recycle

Image result for recycle
The reason why we recycle is because if we keep throwing recyclable things everywhere, then soon our whole world will become a giant landfill.The reason that we reuse because if we just recycle everything then it’s going to be a lot of pollution in the air, the reason there is going to be a lot of pollution in the air because the machines that melt the plastic and make it into something new it uses gas or some type of fuel to make it work.So if something uses gas or fuel it creates smoke and the smoke goes into the air.That’s the reason why I think we should reuse.The reason why we should also reduce, so we can reduce pollution from the machines that are making plastic.Also if we use less plastic companies can stop tearing down trees to make factories.That’s why I think we should reduce, reuse and recycle.

Aqua van ReflectionImage result for Aquavan vancouver

When I went to the aquavan presentation I met Fred, Katy, Robin and Julia. They were talking about the arctic and where the south pole and the north pole is. First they asked us to point at antarctica then showed us how far the ice of the arctic a thousand years ago and how it increased or decreased throughout the years. Then they split us into 4 groups of 8-10 people.

First my group went to our station and we talked about seals and how they lived. We also talked about if the icebergs melted then it will mess up the food chain.First the icebergs and if the icebergs and the glaciers melt then all of the small animals that live under them will all be extinct.After all of the animals under the icebergs and glaciers die then fish can’t eat so soon all of fish in the arctic will all dead.Then if all of the fish die then it’s predators the seal or narwhals can’t eat so then they will become extinct.After the seal and the narwhals become extinct then whoever the predator of the animal is/polar bear can’t eat then if the polar bear can’t eat then soon they will cease to exist. Finally if the polar bear doesn’t exist anymore then people who live in the north can’t eat the some people will start starving then die.That’s what Fred showed us about the food chain. Plus between every station they show us real alive animals that live in the ocean. After went to the next station and learned about the arctic fox and how they lived in their natural habitat.We also learned how they camouflage in the snow like polar bears.After we went to see the arctic fox we learned about turtle and tortoises and how big they can get.

FACT: Turtles and tortoises can get up to 2 meters in height.

Finally we went to see the killer whales and how they communicate from far distances.

FACT: Killer whale can hear from their jaws just like humans.

After when my group finished we went to the middle of the gym and waited until the other groups finish.After when everyone finished everybody got in a circle and shared what we learned and what was new to you and what was a review. After we finished we said thank you to Fred, Katy, Robin and julia.

And that concludes my reflection.
