WWW - This was one of the best presentations, Hannah. In part, this was down to the fact that you were clearly prepared and organized and it was also obvious that you had put a lot of time and effort in to understanding the knowledge that you had built during your research time. I was particularly pleased with the pace used during the presentation, as it kept your target audience engaged and helped them to learn.

My favourite part of the project was your Yukon section as it showed impressive wider-reading and added an extra layer of interest for me (as a Social Studies teacher too!) You were selective in your words and paused to allow your audience to consider what you had said. It was excellent!

EBI - I would try to strengthen your conclusion so as to offer a thought-provoking finale for your peers/audience. e.g. What do you consider the most important aspect of the tundra and why do you think this?

Overall though, a superb piece of work, Hannah!

WWW- What Went Well
I think that my timing was the best part of my presentation. I was ready and had had a different set of eyes to give me feed back and let me know what I could change. I went first and I was ready.

EBI-Even Better If
I think my presentation would have been even better if I had talked louder during my presentation. This would allow everyone to hear me better and make my presentation more interesting.

MSN-My Say Now
I think that this was a great presentation. I think the presentation would have been a little better without the docs. I personally found them a little confusing. Other than that I think this was a great start to Science this year.

I think the Tundra is an interesting biome that is packed with facts and amazing things that cant be found anywhere else. The Tundra is unique in it's self and I am glad that this is the biome I chose to study. I learnt a lot and I hope you did too.

There are many companies that help to stop global warming. One of them is World Wildlife.

They have done many things to help the Arctic so far. WWF has helped change rules that benefit the Arctic and reduce global warming. They also collect donations to aid Arctic animals that are going extinct. For example,  polar bears.

World Wildlife has written many articles about the affect humans have on the Arctic and how they plan to stop it.

Global Warming is the biggest problem the Tundra Biome has right now. The Tundra is de-frosting, destroying the biome gradually but surely.

To save the Tundra, we need do all we can to prevent carbon from entering the atmosphere. Here are some tips on how we can stop global warming:
(1) Recycle paper and containers that we don't use anymore. This will save us from using whatever bad energy that's used to decompose plastic and other waste.

(2) Try to ride a bike or walk short distances instead of using a car. This will help to reduce the exhaust that comes from a car when you drive it.

(3) Only travel when it is important as planes and other forms of transportation also emit gasses which cause global warming.

There are not many people that live in the Tundra due to the harsh conditions and lack of variety of food and wildlife. Although it is very difficult, there is one group that has lived in the Tundra for years. The Inuit people have made the Tundra their home.

The Inuit people are the largest group of people who reside in the Tundra. They live in Igloos and other houses that they make of wood. The Inuit people live off the land eating fish, hares and wild berries.

# data[].attributes.body
In mid-August 1896, the town of  Klondike had a huge stampede when gold was discovered there.  Many people from all over America came to look for gold. This led to the establishment of the Yukon Territory.

People from all over America came in hopes of getting rich. It was a long journey through Yukon to the boarder of Alaska and Yukon in search of gold. Most miners gave up after a while and made a life for themselves in a village that became  well known. This village is called Dawson.

The Yukon/Alaska Tundra is very well known. It is where the gold rush took place in the August of 1896. The Yukon Tundra is connected to Alaska which is actually part of America.

The Yukon/Alaska Tundra is extremely cold. It is as north as you can go and has many mountains and valleys. Yukon and Alaska have very short summers and long harsh winters.

The word Tundra comes from the Finnish word Tunturi which means, "land barren of trees".

# data[].attributes.body
Cushion plants grow in the Tundra as well. They are called Cushion Plants because they grow thick and in tight places to keep them warm. They also come in many different colours like purple, green, white and yellow. Cushion Plants are soft and pillow-like hence the name.

# data[].attributes.body
There are many species of plants in the Tundra. Not many plants grow in the Tundra because of the harsh weather conditions (cold and frozen ground). All plants that grow in the Tundra are small and quite close to the ground. This is so they can protect themselves from the high winds and cold.

Some plants that grow in the Tundra are short shrubs, sedge, grasses and flowers of different kinds.

Whenever you think arctic, Polar Bear jump straight to mind. Polar Bears are big mammals with white fur all year round just like Arctic Foxes.

Polar Bears eat seals and other small animals like fish. Polar Bears also eat walruses and whale carcasses. The Polar Bears wait for seals to come up to the surface for air, and then kill them.

The Arctic Fox is on of the most popular Tundra animal. The Arctic Fox lives in the Arctic Tundra hence it's name.

Arctic Foxes live in borrows they make for themselves. Arctic Foxes have beautiful white (sometimes grayish-blue) fur year round. Unlike the Arctic Hare that changes the colour of it's fur during the different times of the year.

Arctic Foxes are omnivores and eat any leftover meat or food from when polar bears hunt and will eat vegetables when they are available.

There are not may animals in the Tundra because of it's harsh conditions. Although some animals are adapted to live in the Tundra, man made global warming will impact on their ability to thrive because everything is warming up faster.

During the winter, all the animals with different coloured furs like black and brown, will experience a change. All the animals furs turn white. This helps the predators to hunt in the snow and helps the prey to hide in the snow.

Global warming causes the snow to melt, leaving the prey exposed and the predators visible too. This messes up the hunting system and can cause populations of species to go down.

The Tundra is a naturally cold place, but with global warming, which is man made, the permafrost in the ground defrosts. This causes green house gases that are stored in the ground to be released. This creates more global warming and continues the cycle.

The Tundra biome is different form other biomes because the Tundra is the coldest biome there is. The Tundra is also one of the only biomes that doesn't have trees.  Each biome is unique and therefore so is the Tundra. The rest of my padlet will explain what the unique features of the Tundra are.

This website would be even better if it you could use without entering an email. I entered my school email in order to look at the information they have and they send me emails almost everyday. It would be better if they don't send me emails and I didn't have to put in my info.

My favourite resource is National Geographic. I chose and trust this resource because it is well known and very informative. National Geographic is put together by scientists and people that specialize in whichever subject is being written about. Using the acronym TRUST, here are my reasons for National Geographic being my favorite source.

T- This website seems trustworthy because it ends in .org meaning it comes from an organization instead of a commercial company like most websites.

R-This website is very relevant. It has little to no pop-up ads and stays on topic. It gives good information and sates it's sources and authors.

U-This website had different settings for different levels of readers. The website also has a glossary for any words that as unusually unique and a little difficult to understand.

S- This website has may strengths. It is easy to read, short and sweet while still giving lots of information.  It also has different pages related to whatever page you are on at the time.

T- This website is very timely. The date and time of publication is clearly written and the text is very relevant to what is happening today.

The Alpine Tundra is very much like the Arctic Tundra. The only difference is that the Alpine Tundra is located at the top of mountains and at high altitudes. This means that there is less life there such as animals and trees.
In the Alpine Tundra, only rare shrubs and wildflowers grow through the cracks in the mountain. The Alpine Tundra covers only about 3% of the earths surface and is mostly found in the Northern Hemisphere.

There are two different kinds of Tundra biomes. One of them is called the Arctic Tundra. The Arctic Tundra if found in places like Canada, Greenland, Alaska and Iceland. The Arctic Tundra is only found in the Arctic Circle. The Arctic Tundra is extremely cold. Only the toughest plants and animals can live there. Unfortunately, the Arctic Tundra is shrinking because of global warming.

It rains in the Tundra. It also snows. The Tundra can get between 50 - 250mm of precipitation a year. This is not much at all if you compare with most of the world's greatest deserts.

The Tundra is so cold that the ground freezes and stays frozen! Lucky for us the frozen ground traps green house gases that could promote global warming if released. The sad news is that global warming is de-frosting the permafrost (frozen ground) and letting out the green house gases making the potential of global warming even worse!

The Tundra is known to be the coldest biome in the world! The Tundra has high winds and very low temperatures that can reach below freezing at night.
