Worksheet 6

MICRO CLIMATES IN THE CITY



The climate in the city is not the same as the one in the country. It creates what we call a urban microclimate, caused by the constant activy of men, the air-condithionoing, cars drivings, buildings, etc.
We get an anemometer and a termometer and we went to Urquinaona's square,
we mesure the floor temperature, the air temperature and the windspeed.Then we went in front of corte inglés, in the middle of Catalonia square and in the roof of our school and we did the same.
here is the graffic:

Conclusions: So, in the sit is hotter than
other sides because make microclimates with all buildings and roads.

Worksheet 9

Our ecological footprint

We draw a footpring steping on one paper with our foot. Today we consult in one web ( doing one test) wich is our ecological footprint. The web gives the result in "dam2" and we translate this in cm2. Then we mesure the length and width of our footprint and multiply that to know the area. Finaly we divide the ecological footprint by the area of foot and we get the number of footprints that we waste in one day.Every day I print 5.138.888,88 footprints. Do you think that this is a lot? I think the same.if you want to do the same and know haw much footprints do yo print a day click here!
