MESURING THE WEATHER


Last day we mesured the atmospheric phenomenon with the weather. We took diffents instruments: thermometer to mesure the temperature, the anemometer to mesure the wind speed, the hygrometer for the porcentage of the humidity, the stopwatch to control the time that we have to mesure. After this we went to the roof of our school and we mesure this phenomenons, we went to the street in front of the school too. In the street we mesure the phenomenons two times: one with a hand up and the other next to the floor(hands down).We mesure in the roof and in the street because the phenomens are differnt.

THE RESULTSthe temperature are different because the tiles of the floor absorb the sun rays.

THINGS TO REDUCE OUR ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT



We can do a lot of things to reduce the pollution of the earth. We wrote this things in the picture of the footprint. Every time we have an impact if we intent to reduced this impact, the pollution are less.
IMPACTS:
Every time you turn on the light there is an impact
Every time that you usse a plastic bag, there is an impact
Every time that you switch off the water, there is an impact
Every time that you don't separe the brush for recicling, there in an impact
Every time that you don't use the public transports, there is an inpact.
All the things that we do, produce an impact, it is required to improve all our actions.

THINGS TO IMPROVE:
switch the lights when you go out
when you go to the supermarket use paper bags, and not use plastic bags
switch off the water if it is not necessary
select the rubbish for recicling
use the public transport

OUR ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT




WORKSHEET 9

Last day we drew our footprint and we did a list of the things that we do about the evironment.
Today we calculate the mesure of our footprint. Besides we enter in this web page :www.stanleyparkecology.ca/programs/activities/howbigft.php
that to mesure the space that we need. This mesure is calculated with a test.
After this we multiply the width and the lenght of our foot and devided it by the result of the test.


SONIA'S FOOTPRINT:



The mesure of the width of my footprint is 6 and my lenght is 22 so multiply this numbers and divided of the space (505 dam2 or 505000000 cm2).



RESULTS: 505000000/132=3825757 cm2



CLAUDIA'S FOOTPRINT:



the mesure of the width of my footprint is 8'1 and my leght is 23'5 so multiply this numbers and divided of the space (415 dam2 or 415000000 cm2)



RESULTS: 415000000/190'37= 2180194'37
