Measuring heat and light

The 5th class was measuring the temperature and light. The reasults looked good. They were little better than in the spring. We have rememberd to put lights off. Water has been rememberd to be use less. And we haven' t left the water running. Classes 1-4 has always kept the lights on. We are trying to get them into the project with us. Always if we notice the lights on for no reason, we put them off. We always tell them not keep them on, if they don' t really need them. If ther is a termostate somewhere too high temperature, we put it to a lower temperature.

Our trip to Björköby

We left from the shcool at about 8.30. When we arrived to Raippaluoto, we first went to pick up our tour guide. In the bus, she explained us a few things about Raippaluoto, like that the water level rises 1cm a year. Then we left te bus and went under the Raippaluoto bridge. After that, we went back to the bus and drove to a forrestpath. It was about 0.8 km long. We walked to a wooden tower. Then we climbed to the top of the tower and looked at the virw while our tour guide was telling us about it. Then we walked back to the bus and came back home. It was a very fun and educational trip.

Start to the autumn of 2011

SAVING IS IMPORTANT!

Here is our project about saving water.

It says:

Be a good person and do something!

There are lots of things in the world that that you can change.

You could for example save water, electricity and heat.

Patch your leaking pipes, because leaking pipes waste water.

If you have a leak, you should check the other pipes, too.

Here are some tips for saving water:

- Patch your pipes.

- Collect rainwater.

- Don´t waste water.

If you observe these tips, you will get (or should get) smaller waterbills. =)

REMEMBER TO SAVE!

50/50 Energy Project

In our picture we describe us water consumption of years 2009

and 2010 with drops.

For example: January 2010 we have saved 33.0% of since year 2009.

And in November we have saved just a little bit,

because our school field was frozen. In our picture one drop is 10%.

Throughout the year of 2010 we have saved 36,2%.

That picture means that we have to save on electricity and the world. We all must save electricity at home too, not only at school. There is spring coming. That means we must save more electricity than before. Savings that we have made are not just for the victory, they are for the world! We have done lot of things to save electricity for example use less lamps.

50/50 project. Our school electricity use.


This is poster of our school electricity use for years 2009-2010. We have been saving a lots of electricity between 2009-2010. A thunderbolt in our project means 1000KWH. In 2009 we have used 73000KWH, and in 2010 we have used 2000KWH less electricity. And thats all about it. To be continued!
