Global Warming Story

We need to slow global warming down because it is effecting the animals who can't face the climates that are happening. We can also slow global warming down by not cutting down a lot of trees. Have you ever wondered what type of chemicals you have put in the drain going to the sea leading extinction for all the living species in the sea. If you were an aquatic animal, would you like it if you were getting pulled out of the sea for dinner? I certainly wouldn't. Also think about all the other creatures out there.

All About Bias



Bias affects the way we look at things.Bias is like a person who has two personalities. One personality is subjective which means that you let your prior knowledge help you make your decision, and the other personality is objective which means that you don't let your prior knowledge become your judgement.An example of using both sides of Bias personality is in the fairy tale of the Three Little Pigs. Objective: I strongly believe that the wolf did nothing wrong. He just sneezed and 2 houses fell. Well thats not the wolfs fault that they built their house with poor equipment. Subjective: I am very guilty I really believe that I am. I think that I should’ve not have put the boiling hot water down in the chimney so that the wolf can suffer, but overall it was the wolf’s decision to climb down the chimney. We really should have thought first so that he wouldn’t be boiled alive.


This is all about Bias. I used the PEE chain to help me with this activity.
