Technology & Environment

Step 1 - Imagination

We will talk about the impact on climate by food. We haven't done a research yet, so these are our thoughts about this topic:

Meat and fish in general has a bad impact on climate, because the production needs a lot of energy and has a high co2 emission. At the moment we can't imagine which meat variety is better and which one is worse. But we think there is a lot of food which is better for our climate than meat, for example vegetables in general, grain products or nuts.

Now we're excited to learn more about this topic.

Best regards,

From Joule to kWh

I decided to calculate the energy of cottage cheese. It’s a small meal I really like to eat for lunch at school.

100g of cottage cheese has 88kcal.

Calculation:

1 kcal = 0.001163 kWh

88 x 0.001163 = 0.102344 kWh

 

To calculate the result I used the numbers from this homepage.

International collaboration project

We talked about the problems and the steps, which are necessary to have a good teamwork for our collaboration project. The digital-systems are also important for a good communication.

Here our ideas:

 Our next task was to think about the advantages of an international collaboration project:

  • Get used to the English and learn new English skills
  • Learn something about the other culture
  • Make friends
  • Get know about the current situation about the climate change
  • Have fun and enjoy working on the project

Humans - Destroyers of Earth

The documentary „Humans – Destroyers of earth“ shows how dramatic climate changing is. Plastic in the oceans, dying forests, less and less wood, rising global temperatures, arctic that is likely to become ice-free and so on. These are all serious problems our generation needs to fix very soon. Otherwise it could be too late for our planet.More...
