Micro-climates

WORKSHEET 6

Micro-climates in the city:

Last tuesday we mesured various atmospheric phenomenon, like the wind speed, the temperature, the humidity, etc.

We use a thermometer to mesure the temperature, the anemometer to mesure the wind speed, the hygrometer to mesure the relative humidity.

Conclusion:

The differences among the different places aren't very big. The temperature of the air next to the floor is higher than the temperature two metres from the floor because the material of the floor attracts the heat during all the day.

Ecological footprint

WORKSHEET 9

OUR ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT

XAVI'S ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT

475 dam2 = 475.000.000 cm2 = 2761627 ft

EVA'S ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT

535 dam2 = 535.000.000 cm2 = 2912357 ft

_____________________________________

Today we calculate our ecological footprint. We make a test that we found in a web. At the end, we calculated the number of footprints that we need in our daily activities.
