Thinking+Deeper

__**WHITE HAT**__
 * What are some significant key facts that you learnt about as a result of your research?

We learnt: **

About the different types of whales, A blue whales heart is the size of a car, If larger whales like sperm whale get stranded on beaches they would die faster not because of water shortage but because they don't have water to support their organs so their organs would crash if they are not returned to sea fast. What they kill the whales for is their baleen, teeth etc.

__**BLACK HAT**__
 * What are the problems/ consequence for our world if nothing is done about your chosen issue?**

The whales would become extinct or critically endangered. If we don't do anything then our decentants won't be able to see the most magnificent creature on earth.


 * How is the sustainability of our planet being affected by this issue?**

What is currently being done to address your issue? **
 * __YELLOW HAT__

Most countries have banned whaling and stopped people from selling whale products.

__**RED HAT**__
 * What are your group's feelings about this issue? **

We think that it's very cruel to capture and kill whales. It's really sad and we should be treating the whales as we would treat humans. We should stop the whalers from doing this.

**__GREEN HAT__ What are some things your group could do to address your issue in our community?**

We could put up posters informing people what whaling is doing to the whales, and try to stop it.


 * What things should the government do to ensure that this issue is addressed? **

Ban whaling in all the countries and make a new law that if someone does do whaling, they will have some serious consequences.

__**BLUE HAT**__
 * Write down your plan for your SO WHAT?! stage as a result of what you have learnt from your inquiry so far. How will you address your chosen issue?

For our So What?! stage, we are planning to do a slideshow with all the facts, then send the students in teams based on their houses on something similar to an amazing race. We will put questions throughout the race and if anyone has paid attention to the slideshow, they will be able to answer the questions and advance quickly.

What type of thinking do you need to use to do this and explain why and how.**
