OUR STRATEGIES TO SAVE ENERGYWe have created a character, Mr Light Bulb, who goes around the school giving advice on how to save energy.
We have labelled all the lights and fan keys with the word “ON” & “OFF”
OUR STRATEGIES TO SAVE ENERGY
OUR STRATEGIES TO SAVE ENERGYWE’VE SENT NOTES TO PARENTS INCLUDING:
A message stating the problem
En el proceso de convertir el
petróleo, carbón o gas en fuentes
energéticas, se emiten gases que
crean el conocido efecto invernadero.
The activity we propose
Por lo tanto en esta oportunidad les proponemos a los alumnos:Hacer un relevamiento en casa de cuántas bombitas de luz hay en total. Luego contar del total, cuántas son de bajo consumo. Una vez obtenidos estos datos los volcaremos en tablas y calcularemos los porcentajes. ¡Contamos con tu participación!
Let’s go home and count the light bulbs
OUR STRATEGIES TO SAVE WATER
We’ve created a character, Mrs. Crystal Clear, who goes around the schoolgiving advice on how to save water.
OUR STRATEGIES TO SAVE WATERWE`VE SENT NOTES TO PARENTS INCLUDING:
A message stating the problem
El agua, fundamental para nuestra vida, es un recurso natural limitado y vulnerable. Cada vez más personas se ven afectadas por la falta de agua que puede convertirse en uno de los mayores problemas de la humanidad.
The activity we propose
Por lo tanto en esta oportunidad les proponemos a los alumnos:Si querés ayudar a tu planeta, proponé ideas para evitar el derroche de agua como por ejemplo:
“Cerrá la canilla mientras te cepillás los dientes y controlá que no quede goteando al irte del baño”.
OUR STRATEGIES TO RECYCLE PAPERWE’VE SENT NOTES TO PARENTS INCLUDING:
A message stating the problem
La tala de un árbol produce tan solo 17 resmas de papel y la tala indiscriminada en el mundo es responsable de gran parte de los desastres ambientales
Por lo tanto en esta oportunidad les proponemos a los alumnos:Si querés ayudar a tu planeta traé al colegio las tapas bordó de los boletines de años anteriores para reusarlas en el 2010.Todos los alumnos que recuperen su carpeta de años anteriores recibirán un certificado de niño que ayuda al cuidado del medio ambiente.¡Contamos con tu participación!
The activity we propose
As a reward, they will receive a sticker in their report card.
So far, 72% of the kids have brought their old report card folders to be re-used.
