LCD JOURNAL ENTRY # 8

           This week a food festival was held in our school. Our representatives are Anzette and Dana. Before we go in the gymnasium, where the contest will be held, we buy some snacks to eat while walking. After I finish eating all the food I buy, I throw my garbages in the trash can. After the program we go back to our classroom to attend our next class. In the afternoon, me, and my groupmates clean the classroom. After cleaning the room, I went to my brother,s room and wait . After a long time of waiting, we go back ion our house.   

INSIGHTS AND REFLECTIONS #5: LOW PRESSURE AREA

          Today I learned that low pressure area is a region where the atmospheric pressure at sea level is lower than that of surrounding locations. Low-pressure systems form under areas of wind divergence which occur in upper levels of the troposphere. The formation process of a low-pressure area is known as cyclogenesis.
          I will apply my learnings about low pressure area in other related topics and also to my everyday life.
          Learning about this phenomenon i important because it gives us warning that there might be a typhoon near a certain place. 
          On a larger scale, I will share my knowledge to others so that they will know something about it and apply it to their lessons.
          I want to know more about the origin of low pressure area.

LCD JOURNAL ENTRY # 7

                 This week is a tiring week for me..It's because I'm not feeling well. The weather was cold so I turned off the electric fan and open the windows to let the fresh air enter. I also need to drink lots of water... All the water bottles I consumed was given to the third year students. When i finish  my assignments, I will turn  off the unnecessary lights and appliances and I will lie down on my bed and take a deep rest. Some of the things that can help our environment are the following:
      1. Always do and remember the 3'Rs(re-use, reduce, recycle)
      2. Throw your garbages in the trash bin
      3. Turn off the lights and appliances that are not in use.

Insights and Reflections # 4:EL NINO AND LA NINA

             Today I learned that La Nina is a coupled ocean-atmosphere phenomenon that is the counterpart of El Nino as part of the broader El Nino Southern Oscillation Climate Pattern. During a period of La Nina, the sea surface temperature across the Equatorial Eastern Central Pacific Ocean will be lower than normal 3-5 °C. The name La Nina originates from spanish, meaning "the girl".
                 I also learned that El Nino is the abnormal warming of surface ocean waters. The name El Nino originates from spanish, meaning "the boy".
                  I will apply my learning about el niño and la niña in other lessons related with these phenomena and also to my everyday life.
                  Learning about these phenomena is important because it affects our daily life or daily activities.
                 On a larger scale, I will share my learning to others so that  they can also be ready or prepared on its effect.
                  I need to know more about the effects of el niño and la niña so that I will be aware and prepared when it occurs.

Insights and Reflections # 3: Tropical Depression

              Today I learned that once a group of thunderstorms has come together under the right atmospheric conditions for long enough time, they may organize into a TROPICAL  DEPRESSION. TROPICAL  DEPRESSION is a tropical cyclone having sustained surface winds less than 39 miles (63 km) per hour.
            I will apply my learning about tropical depression in other lessons related with these and also in my everyday life because tropical depression is related with the rain / typhoons that affects each one of us
            Learning about this phenomenon is important because because it helps us to understand the phenomenon that is happening around us
          On a larger scale, I will share my learning on this phenomenon to others so that they will be aware and to be prepared about the effects of this phenomenon 
            I need to know more about  the effects of tropical  depression so that I will know what to do if there is a tropical depression.

LCD JOURNAL ENTRY # 6

                Just like the weeks that passed by, I'm still doing the same things I did before!! I gave the water bottles I used  to the third year students for them to recycle it. I don't waste electricity by unplugging the appliances that is not in use, turning off the lights after using it and by lessening my use of television and cellular phone...Now, I'm wondering what activities will happen in this coming week and what activities can I do that can help our environment......And this is my Low Carbon Diet for the week

Insights and Reflections #2: MONSOON

               Today i learned that monsoon is a wind system that influences large climatic regions and reverses direction seasonally. i will apply my learning about monsoon in determining what season our country may experience.
           Learning about this phenomenon is important because it helps us  in determining the movement or the direction of the wind. On a larger scale, i will share my learning on this phenomenon to others by sharing or telling them the meaning of monsoon, and it is because I want to be alert of their environment. 
           I need to know more about the occurrence of monsoons in different places so that i will know the kind of monsoon that affect the weather.

LCD JOURNAL ENTRY # 4

       Another week have passed. A very happy and lucky week in my life, it was indeed. I did just the same as the things I am doing before, just to help the nature. These are:


     1. I used a glass when brushing my teeth.
     2. I turned off the lights, appliances and faucets that were not in used.
     3. Instead of doing my assignments inside our house, I did it outside, in our porch, so that I would not use any lights.


     These things are just simple things that we can contribute for saving our planet. But if we will do this all, these will be a very big contribution in saving mother nature.
