submitting water usage

Learning Legacy

Their data will be archived on the website. Students will gain a personal connection to global knowledge. Students will learn the importance of how things differ in other parts of the world. Things we may take for granted...

example

Question:

Why do you think --- use more water than --do?

Hypothesis:

If you live in -- then you would

use more than --.

Data

-- used less water than --.

My conclusion is that -- used 192.18

gallons of water more than --

1. Develop a Hypothesis

2. Data

3. Conclusion

After comparing averages. I will ask the students a question, and they will develop a hypothesis.

Students will record their data onto the data resource materials provided by the teacher. The students will then go to the ceise collaborative project homepage to view student submissions of data collected from around the world.

After we have gathered our data from our households (for one week) & compared with our classmates. We will now begin the process of sharing our data globally.

Project Aims

This is an internet-based collaborative project that allows students to share information about water usage with other students from around the country and world.

After comparing water averages.....

What can we do to use less water?

How much water do you use everyday in your home? Would you be surprised to learn that according to the USGS the average American uses between 80-100 gallons (approx. 300 - 375 liters) of water per day? Do you think people in other parts of the world use more or less water than Americans? Well, this collaborative project will help you find out the answers to these questions. By collecting data on water usage from people around the world you will be able to see how your water use compares to others and determine what you might do to use less water.
