This Month In Science #10

This month is science we did and learned many things, that mostly had to do with the impact we humans have on the world.We went out in the street and asked people questions about their daily habits, like how long the watched TV and how long they left their faucet running when brushing their teeth. Then, had people from the Human Impact Institute who helped us learn a lot about human impact. First we watched a couple of videos about human impact and things that had happened that effected the Earth. After that they showed us posters of human impact campaigns and we broke up into groups, which were transportation, water, energy and waste. We did an investigation where we found out how much energy things we used daily like cellphones used and how much we used in total.We came up with our slogan for the campaign we were going to work on and began drawing sketches of what our posters would look like. Lastly we started drawing our poster in poster size paper and making it pop would with Sharpe markets and we will soon make those designs into t shirts.

We learned a lot of things this month, and many things that will be good for us to know so we can help the environment. Going out and surveying strangers was a good experience because we learned alot of things, such as how Earth friendly people where and how they effected the Earth.We also did an investigation trying to see how much energy our cellphones used by multiplying the watts they used and the hours we used them and we found out that we used alot of energy and that was good to know. After that people from the Human Impact Institute came and showed us many videos and campaign posters about human impact and we learned alot from it. We saw a video about a guy that by becoming Earth friendly made his life better and another that showed a bunch of dirty water taking over the Hudson river and how fast it moved. We saw posters with pictures that encouraged people to be careful about the environment and we brainstormed ways we effected the environment and things that effected it. We broke up into groups such as energy, water, waste and transportation. I was in the transportation group and we had create a poster. We made a poster that showed how good carpooling was for the world, our logo was " Grab a ride, Save the world." We drew a picture of superman carrying a bus of carpoolers to show how by grabbing a ride you too could save the world. By doing that we learned how to draw good and neat drawings that were easy to understand and that caught peoples attention. We started drawing our poster and we learned from professional people what we should do to make the drawing better. I'm really looking forward to having our design in t-shirts.
