Writing - Explanation - Ever questioned mold?

Padlet Planning here.


Ever questioned about mold?


Ever questioned about Mold? Well, this document is here for you to read about the Life Cycle of mold! Hope you enjoy reading -


Firstly, just like every living thing on this existing earth you'll have start small and grow from that point. In the life cycle of mold, they start as a tiny little dot called a "Spore" which is the beginning of mold. Spores are airborne which means they fly/float around, landing on favorable surfaces such as fruits, wood and other relative things. Depending on the type, we'll be explaining about when a spore lands on a beautiful piece of fruit.


After landing on a favorable landing spot, the tiny spore would release a substance called: "Hyphen" which is a white hair-like tube. Hyphen breaks down the fruit, absorbing the nutrients of whatever it has landed on. But the mold doesn't digest the nutrients of its landing scene, it digests from the outside which helps it grow. But there isn't just one thin Hyphen,  there is a whole cobweb-looking system called "Mycelium".


Now, the main spore doesn't release one single Hyphen tube, it releases many of other ones to help break down and affect the desired setting. You don't normally see this happen cause it'd be cover with disgusting green fur or spots. The Mycelium system has Hyphen tubes crossed over each other, creating something that looks like a cobweb. But how does the next generation of mold continue?


Well the mold, during its deconstruction it produces a "dizzy array of fruiting bodies" which is the green stuff that appears on your bread or fruit and such, their job is to produce the next generation of spores/mold. The fruiting body can look like a red toadstool or just a teeny tiny knob, their primary job is to launch the next generation of spores!


In conclusion, it seems that mold seems to just ruin our food and such but mold is actually helpful for an example; "Moldy cheese" or to get rid of a pile of old dying plants.  The spore generation doesn't end, it  continues on and on and will never end.

Writing - Explanation - Your wearing plastic?

How is my clothing,plastic? (Plan here)


Everywhere in this round world,plastic is recycled to produce clothing, your plastic bottles,plastic trays and all your plastic material can be recycled into soft/hard items and beautiful clothing that you can wear.


Every second week,a green recycling truck comes and takes your recycling and that's the last time you’ll see your rubbish.But did you know that isn't the end of it? well,when the truck reaches its destination,the recycling is dropped off and at that point it is shredded into millions of tiny pieces.When all that shredding is done,workers package it and it’s ready for traveling.


The contained recycling is seated into a recycling ship and then travels to China.Firstly,workers must separate the recycling into separate baths.The coloured plastics can float,so the workers could just strain it.The sticker bath is more dangerous because the stickers have a dangerous Liquid on them which could really damage the skin,if made friendly contact with it.


After the plastic has gotten really soaked,the plastic now has to be dried because people don't want to be wearing hot and wet clothing.So,the workers put the wet plastics into a roasting oven for 10 full hours.The plastic comes out of a drum.The workers then take a metal cart and have to be careful before they might hit their head on one of the huge drums.The cart has to be moved back and forth to collect the hot and dry plastic.


When they have finally collected as much plastic as the cart can hold,but the problem is that they just have millions of shredded pieces of dry and hot plastic,so what could they do? The plastics is sent through a machine with a  giant screw that melts and turns all the plastic into one huge plastic material.But you can't make clothing with just huge lumps of plastic,so the lump of plastic is squashed through a strainer,which makes millions of long thin plastic strings’.


After that,the plastic string goes down a long tube,which the workers collect at the bottom.Now that the plastic is nice and smooth,it is now turned into string.The string,that was plastic,now has to be stretched serval times and be heated at the same time,this will bond the fibers together.


The next stage is to tear it all up because of the fluff that comes out of raw substance you need to make polyester.But that is done in another factory,so fluff is collected up and contained to be sent through another journey.When they reach the other factory,some of the cotton/fluff is put into a machine that hardens it,the machine brushed the cotton/fluff so that the pattern on it,so it would become stronger.Now the cotton/fluff is now ready to be turned into thread.


Soon after the workers have placed thesoon to be thread’,into the machine,the machine would now tease it out and spin off,after mile after mile.At the same time,pure polyester is collected on bobbins thats at the end of the machine.Now our plastic has turned into pure poleyster.In a diffrent machine,it spins and weaves a new type of polyester, A softer one.The machine creates tiny loops on it, next the softer polyster is brushed but with a really strong metal brush that makes it super soft.


So we now got our clothing material so what happens?We made it this far! So different workers get to design on the clothing material,they create the newest designs or just create old designs that people seem to love still. All of the workers have to be careful while using it because they don't want to waste anymore precious clothing material.

So our old plastic has been turned into items we wear or cuddle?They were made as one,torn up again,spinned and traveled!But what happens when clothing material is wasted?
