  1. Comenius Science Investigation • How big is our Carbon footprint? • As a school, what impact are we having on our environment? • How much waste do we produce? • How can we calculate our impact? • Interpreting and presenting our results. • What are our next steps for improvement?

  2. Comenius Science Investigation Year 1

  3. 1M have been looking at how we travel to school. We put our results into a bar chart.

  4. We also put our results into a pie chart. We could easily that most of us walked to school and not many of us rode our bike. Nearly a quarter of the class came by car. Most of the people that came by car live quite far away.

  5. In class 1H we wanted to find out how much water we use to wash paint pots and to wash our hands. Would it be less if we put the plug in, instead of using running water?

  6. First we found out that it takes ½ minute to fill 1 jug from the tap.

  7. Next we washed the pots in running water and counted how many ½ minutes it took.

  8. Next we washed the pots in a bowl of water and counted how many jugs of water we used.

  9. After that we did the same washing our hands.

  10. We recorded our findings on a graph.

  11. We will always put the plug in to save water!

  12. Comenius Science Investigation Year 2

  13. Year 2 sorted through their lunch boxes to see what could be recycled. We then recycled all the things into different bins after each lunch time. We then talked about reducing the amount of packaging in our lunch boxes. What did we actually need to have in our lunch boxes and how to be smarter when packing our lunch. We did the same experiment a week later after doing lots of work on packaging and the amount of packaging in our lunch boxes had fallen by over 30%.

  14. Comenius Science Investigation Year 3

  15. 3W packed lunch waste!

  16. 3FR packed lunch waste! Year 3 examined their lunchboxes and gave a score to their contents; Re-usable 1 Recyclable 2 Waste 5

  17. Comenius Science Investigation Year 4 We collected food packaging and researched where the food came from and how many miles it had travelled to reach the UK.

  18. Comenius Science Investigation Year 5

  19. Year 5 discussed the problem of litter in our school community.

  20. Comenius Science Investigation Year 6

  21. Year 6 sorted objects that would otherwise be thrown away and taken to landfill.

  22. Year 6 examined the contents of their lunchboxes
