Sustainability Investigation 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our topic

Which part of the school has the most rubbish on the ground

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Problem/& Plan:

Identify a Sustainability topic you can investigate

Plan out how you will collect data

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Plan: Go around the school and find out where the most rubbish is. The area we are going to see is the field,  basketball courts, playground, etc, and we’ll put the numbers on a tally table then see where is the most area that has the most rubbish.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Data Collection:

Collect your data.

Note any issues with accuracy.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Issues: are that we might miss some and that some of them don’t really count as rubbish

Table/ Tally chart

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Analysis & Conclusion:

1x graph - either line, pie, or bar

Use data to answer your problem

Area	Total rubbish
Field	207
2 basketball court and 1 netball court	46
Between the Kahuis	13
Playground	53
Learning commons	23
Quad	223

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lincoln’s Conclusion: I’m more impressed with the results in the Quad because I know that a lot of people hang out there because it’s winter and all, and since that no one really doesn’t want to go to the field there is actually less rubbish in the field. The least rubbish is between the Kahuis. This comes to show that people need to put rubbish in the bin instead of just trying to hide it so that they don’t get in trouble making it. So basically they are just lazy and just can’t be bothered. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jeff’s Conclusion: I’m surprised because I thought that field is more rubbish than the Quad because there are more people going to the field, but there is more rubbish at the Quads, I think the cause is because people always eating when they walk around and just put the rubbish on the ground, maybe they try to put the rubbish in the Quads to hide it so the teacher can’t see the rubbish and so the teacher doesn’t know is whos and the people put the rubbish in there don’t get into trouble.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Advance: I think that we need to add more rubbish bin to the walkways and behind the fake grass hill so people can put the rubbish in the bin, not on the ground or the Quads, and I think people should get a small bag when they finish eating so they can put there own rubbish in their own bag.
