Over Consumption Project.

Hey there. Our science/math class did a project on over consumption. We had to compare our data for modern day, with the data we had found of an older civilization. Each group also had to create a model displaying our information. Our group did a model based on the water consumption of a single person in Canada, and how much water they used in ten days. Since one person in Canada uses 350 Litres of water each day, and we based the model on ten days, we just had to multiply 350 by 10, and we got the final amount. It seems that on average, a single Canadian uses approximately 3500 Litres of water every ten days!

This is a picture of one of my partners and me. Ming is the girl in the Pink shirt. I'm the one in the hat. :D
This project gave us a good chance to practice and display Creativity(for making the model, and giving ideas), Critical Thinking (Thinking hard about the science and math, and scrutinizing the information we had gathered.), Math (doing the calculations, the graphs, and the charts.), Science ( The project itself, finding how much water we each use.), Social Studies ( It showed us how much we sue in this country), Social Responsibility ( Making sure that everyone had a job, that everyone was heard and had a chance to contribute to the group), and Personal Responsibility (Brining in the supplies, being on time, doing your fair share of the work, asking for help if need be).
