Today we started with some research. Then we searched nearly all the classrooms at the school to see if they all had bins for recycling plastic. We found that nearly all the primary classrooms have plastic recycling bins but only a few in the middle/high school classrooms have plastic recycling bins. Here is a graph that Claire put together about how many classrooms have plastic recycling bins at our school.
Today I did some research about plastic bottle. We watch the movies on the grade 7 website. We also came up with a plan that we would try to get a bin so people can throw out their plastic bottles but we would also have to find a place to put all the plastic bottles we collected. Maybe to a recycling company but Adam will find a place. For home work tonight everyone has to do their research about plastic bottles. Here are the videos: How Plastic Bottles are MadeThe Story of Bottled WaterToday we stated our topic. We took some notes of what we are going to do and who has what roles. Claire is the leader and Alice is the reporter. Adam and Hugo are helping. We all talked about what we are going to do why plastic bottles are an issue at our school. Group Photo |
