In these few past weeks I did things like researching, going out, asking questions, drawing, things like that. First we did things in class about all of our topics, Waste, Energy, Water, and Transportation. For Waste we did a compost as a class. For Water we tested different water from different places. For Energy we plugged in different things like blow dryers to see how much energy it takes up. Then did some research on a topic and my group topic is Waste. The Human Impact Institute was there and helped us to come up with ideas. My group and I gathered all the information and made some questions out of them. Also all the other groups did the same thing. So with all the questions in, my teacher David narrowed it down and put it on a piece. The class took that piece of paper and went out into the community and asked the different people the questions and recorded their answers. The next time The Human Impact Institute came we stared to draw, draw about the idea that the group picked together. And finally The Human Impact Institute came with others to also help to come up the best picture.
I learned that the worms you need for a compost is red wrigglers. Red wrigglers are like vegans. You need a certain amount of soil, water, and food. My school water has chlorine added to it. Learned how to test water in different ways. And the fish tank in my science class has bacteria in it. We check how much energy things take up. Learned that watts measure energy. That's how we get our energy bills. I learned the difference between action and awareness campaigns. Going out to the community was fun. But there was people who didn't speak English so we couldn't ask them questions. Also people didn't have time to stop or they just kept walking.
