Consumption of Drinking Water

New Task: We investigate a weekly cycle and an annual cycle. Watch the consumption of drinking water for 14 days and over a whole year. To collect the results, there are PDF files for printing and distributing to the students. Run the investigations in February or March. The files you find in our Dropbox in the folder "Drinking_Water".
In order to record the results then use the Excel spreadsheets.


Talk also about using drinking water and how the consumption can be reduced and also show how to use a water meter to get the result in m³ or l.

We are working on our Project

What we have done so far

First we were introduced in the topic “Water- food number1” in subjects like chemistry, biology, physics, geography, ethics and computer science. In our first “Comenius lesson”, we collected information about different kinds of water for example mineral water, streams, rivers, fresh water and salt water. We also answered the question for what do you use all these kinds of water? We read three texts that we got from the teachers and so we found out more about questions like “How to save water?”. And where are the problems? After finding out our class filled out a quiz. At the end of this topic we investigated our own water requirement.

The making of a “Waterfootprint” was the next we had to do. The whole class does this in our computer science lesson. These are the results of our private ecologically footprint: Our class needed 2.4 resources as much as the earth provides to us.

 


 



Nevertheless, our topic doesn´t end. We look forward to meeting all the others who join in this project next year.
